for me personally, I would be interested in going to family friendly gatherings. That way I would not have to leave my wife and kids at home.

Old Chicago was a fun place.

Stark Street Pizza was another.

I cant remember the name but there was a Mexican joint on the west side too that Ive been to.

all food for thought

Definitely liking the updates.

@Sauron Hey Sauron! Nice to see you around these parts … 🙂

This is a correct answer:

When you’re creating your question post - note the little dropdown on the button to “Submit” … change that to “Ask as Question.” Later when someone replies to your question with a correct answer, a moderator (in this case - Doc … if he ever shows back up) can mark the question as “Solved.”

@okaive LOL - she’s got a baby-face … definitely looks a lot younger than she is. Unfortunately for me - I’ve always looked a lot older than I am. We’re only about 10 years apart.

I’m a lucky guy. 🙂

The paint on epoxy garage floor paint is an excellent option.
I have worked in several shops that have used the off the shelf retail products with great results. It’s fuel and oil resistant and dries super hard so it wont flake.
As with any painting project though, your prep job on the floor will determine your end results.

Kilburn, he comes to my house all the time and worships the ground that I walk on. Yeah that was me helping you. How have you been and what are you doing now.

3 digets looks much better on the speedo then on the thermometer… nice cool days are coming. Before long, we’ll need long johns to go up past Prescott! 1st disk 042.jpg

Yeah I noticed that on the nose as well… However, I like the idea of going back to fairings reducing the vibration along the edges rather than what it is currently. My 2011 zx10r race bike had bodywork that wrapped the edges of the windscreen and it was great at speed.

My 2015’ will have race bodywork soon without the extra piece along the edges of the windscreen using the stock one.

What time are you thinking of heading over? I’m finishing up the move from old place to new place and have a few more boxes and things to schlep … but let me know if it’s later vs. earlier and I may be able to make it -

Apologies to anyone who was trying to access the site on Tuesday between 6am and 4pm pacific time. I moved the servers to a new physical location, and despite careful effort to schedule the timing precisely, my service provider still screwed up and cut my connection about 7 hours earlier than anticipated.

As a result, the forum was offline while I waited and waited for the tech to show up a the new place to heat up the line.

The new home for the servers should be a permanent resting place! Sorry again for any inconvenience -

@Jeffbob

Sometimes 160+ “indicated”… my braking area is a bit tough since I have been there 3 times in 7 years lol.

Not inconvenienced…we should make it FUN to get there. Let’s hold it at Skyline Tavern!!

I was die hard shoei fan, they make great helmets, but made my switch starting in 2012 to Scorpion. I run the track with the R2000 and street with the T1200. R2000 was great since it came with a clear and tinted visor, while the t1200 came with an awesome helmet bag.

t1200 also has cutouts for my sena as well, but at over 70mph, the wind noise gets a bit too loud to hear the sena. Still cant complain regarding either helmets and most of their lineup. They do exactly as advertised and quality is great. Price point, I don’t think they have any competition even remotely close to their price range.

Just so everyone is aware, the old forum can still be accessed at http://archive.sportbikes.ws …

The old forum is read-only for now.

Enjoy!

@okaive I ditched the 120 second rule. Defaults… Lol

@murphomatic

Ah. I have a 2012 ZX10R, and by default the bike does the exact same thing. Thankfully I had the ECU flashed which allowed the bike to remember the last setting so mine is always off. Granted on the lowest setting it didn’t intervene much even though I’m a very spirited rider. However, the bike remembering to keep the TC off is probably the best thing that came from the flash.
