EXUP Worldwide

..in a street crash in Japan. A truck did an illegal u-turn in front of him.

Last week while travelling I stopped at a Zany Brainy store and saw that they had a blimp for sale. It's called Airship Earth, and it's a great big balloon with a map of the Earth on it, and two propellors hanging from the bottom. You blow up the balloon with helium put batteries in it, and you have...

Older ones I wouldnt worry about. The new ones over the last couple years I can see them having issues with how thin they make them now and how much stress the high horsepower can dish out to them.

Tell him that all Ferrari is, is nothing more than an overpriced Fiat. They really get pissed off in a hurry when you tell them that.

And if that actually WAS a GT500 (which I highy doubt since if Carroll would had seen this car he would had smacked the crap out of the guy. Probably bought the dash already signed), WTF would you chop up a potential $300K car to make a freaking wanna-be movie car? Seen regular 67-69 mustangs done u...

Track days orgs for bikes seemed to have popped up around 2000-2001.

The thing you fill tires up with normally. My old tire machine had teh fill modified so I didnt need the valve stem in it. Really never had to use the air blast of teh machine. Ratchet strap sometimes works. I've used hammers on teh tread to seat the bead sometimes when even air blastting it didnt w...

put some soapy water on the bead and the rim. Then use an air compressor (a good one, not a 12v one) with a tire fill adapter and start to fill. Should hear a little hiss then POP. Keep going until you hear the second. BTW keep ypur fingers clear. It hurts getting pinched by the tire.

Why is it locally that most the guys with the extended swingarm "drag" bikes all fat smart mouthed asshats? :P Hell other than the 2 brothers that have old school gsxr drag bikes, pretty much every one of the new "drag bikes" have some 250+lb guy on them and sometimes has a 200lb girl on the back. T...

Are you just doing track days or are you gonna jump right in to the shark pool and race? If its track days, Just tape up the lights, pull teh mirrors, get a 1 or 2pc leather suit (2pc MUST zip all the way around), back protector (Bohns are great) and sign up. For racing, NEVER USE YOUR STREET BIKE. ...

Just no VA. With their new ticket system, its best to avoid Virginia all together. But closer to WI the better. But if you guys are thinking about coinciding this with a track day, Schedules usually come out around Dec. Road America doesnt allow camping for spectators except during big races like AM...

So if you paint your bike like that do you have to say "Fabulous" with a lisp?

My fav is when you find something you are looking for and they dont want to deal with anyone who lives more than 10 miles away. Found a lens for my camera I've been looking for in Chicago and the guy refuses to deal with anyone who doesnt live in teh chicago area. I'm less than 2 hrs from chicagos n...

It was a black and red suzuki.


BTW what were you looking in the missed connections section of craigslist for?

Pretty much all the racers swear by him.

Unfortuneatley you may be stuck with the $200 or so.

Trackside Engineering is a biggie at CCS blackhawk farm events and probably one of the best out there. https://www.tracksideengineering.com/ec ... log_ms2.2/

Jim the new distros are more user friendly. Suse 10.0 and up pretty much sets up like a windows machine. Dont even have to compile kernals or write scripts for most setup. Some things still wont work with linux (ie wireless prism chipsets. never could get the one for my laptop to work).

Nice thing about linux is you can get most distros free. I have Suse on 3 and Ubuntu on another (testing its wireless). Still have M$ though. My Suse testing server (I use it to test out forum mods for another site I backAdmin on) is temp down right now (needed teh DVD and floppy drives to test out ...

I HATE doing fwd clutches. More of a PITA than anything.

Hyosung GT250R actually is a pretty sharp bike.
