Welcome to the madness! [thumbsup] [beer] This is one of my favorite threads. The whole forum is great... members aren't so bad either. [laugh]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

What to you think is going on with the oil cooler on the NCR M4?  The upper part appears to be the oil cooler while the lower part is closed off with carbon fiber and appears to have a coolant hose coming out of the back.

Just taking another look.  I wonder if the headlight bucket and trim ring are made of titanium?  Also just noticed that the carbon fiber tail section appears to be removable for a different look.

Ugh, that seat (and I use that term liberally) and low bars makes my back/butt hurt just looking at it. [bang]

And you call yourself a Sport1000 owner.   [roll]  I'll be taking that card now...
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Money. What's that? ;D Bet those high dollar wheels make a big handling difference. [thumbsup] [Dolph] The stock wheels I think are made from lead... as you well know. [roll] Lighter rolling stock has to make huge improvements on any scooter. Hey, maybe that's what's wrong with the GP11?? [laugh]

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

That carbon panel on the back wouldn't let the air pass through...

Yeah, I thought about that.  Actually that connector looks like a ganged electronics connector.

Yeah, I was thinking that Lars was on to something there.
