    KTM now part of the Bajaj group of India

    Hey, I can get parts. That's all I care about, otherwise love my KTM.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    They were definitely not fast, but the antiquated low-cost Chrysler suspension in those cars means that they'd still spin and slide with the inappropriate foot of a teenager urging them. I had some plans for my 360 but it had its own.

    VRRA at Shannonville next weekend

    It's been (just) a few years but I don't think they allow them. Teams can have them but they have to sport the rider # on the bike somewhere.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    Moi ici, red interior and exterior with a 360. I had it about six months when a rod started knocking hard... which, given that I bought the car in 1986 for $500 cash and drove it like a lunatic, seems reasonable.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    Yes and no. I changed the oil and not the screens (pulled the front one, though). Very, very fine and small amount of metal in the oil which is fine given that it's the second oil change and this one did Deal's Gap + some hard riding for 6K. Gives me some time to think about it, and of course...

    What Are You Currently Listening To?

    For something even harder to find and relatively unknown despite being formed by Vision of Disorder founders.

    What Are You Currently Listening To?

    Great song, big fan of BCC. If you like this, try "This is your Time" and "Common Man"

    DOJ settles up

    A lot of people are still irrational about that. No offense, but if you come at me with a knife and I have a gun in my hand, you know what comes next. No apologies. I know you understand this but apparently far too many people don't.

    Randy posted some pictures of his other smokers. Thought you might like them.

    I love beer. :D Unfortunately it loves me, too.

    Yamaha RD 350

    I got out yesterday with my buddy Randy. He's got three of them (85, 88 and a TZ copy IIRC)

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    Two different socket wrenches and then a breaker bar, as I said. It didn't budge and I had enough torque on it to do that to the bolt head.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I"m not sure how to proceed but I'll change what oil I can in it right now. I can say for sure that GP Bikes isn't going to be doing many more oil changes for me. Like I said, I had about 100ft/lb on that thing and it didn't budge, just ripped off the edges...

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    I did try that already, it's not going to hold. I think it'll need to be drilled out. And I need a replacement for sure.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    I went to change the oil today in the Super Duke and one of the bolts for the oil change is on so @#$% tight that I stripped the bolt head - with a 13mm six-point Sears socket! The torque on this bolt is supposed to be 15ft/lb, not 115ft/lb and I'm worried about the threads when I do get it out...

    Max Wrist quit riding street and Winning races on the track

    People can change, I know YN certainly got his lesson. Now he regularly tells people not to buy fast bikes for their first one. But I dunno about Max. We'll see how he does but I suspect we'll see him doing dirty things. A leopard doesn't change its spots.

    Dougie's latest plan

    Here's the question that made me ask that one: why have the LPC and OLP not been howling about this publicly? They really haven't been. Their supporters sure have, but that's not the same thing.

    Dougie's latest plan

    I'm convinced that Ford has made some kind of deal with the Federal Liberals and they hatched some of these things together. That Spa is really, really dodgy.

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    I said the same thing. Went back and watched it - it has a few warts for sure but it watched a LOT better than I remembered it. Also, not taking away from Thunderdome, I enjoy the movie and I've seen it a few times. Road Warrior I am pushing well over 30 watches.

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    The best part of them are how amazing the filming is. Beyond Thunderdome didn't quite stand up to it but the rest are amazing. First 1080P movie I watched that had me up and trying to count the pebbles on the road.
