    Are you a Blood Donor?

    I used to donate regularly... but since I got out of the military, I haven't donated. I'm not sure of the waiting period for donating after being deployed ... I need to look into that.

    FZ1 in NH down but coming back!

    Glad you escaped unscathed. The bike really doesn't look too awful bad considering.

    Anyone Ever owned a Porsche 911?

    I have a very good friend who is a Porsche tech... Seeing what he works on, I'd never own one... but, it keeps him rolling in the dough.... for reference, this guy who works on Porsches all day, every day, drives a Dodge 3500 and a Mercedes E500 Wagon. Mercedes diesel sedan before that...

    Car question - Rear Diff

    Granted, I could just get the Quiafe LSD for my current setup, but this guy only wants $750 for the complete rear with axles... Just the axles for this car are $850 each

    Car question - Rear Diff

    Well, this is just part of the overall upgrade plan... The mod budget is saving up for the crank and Pistons to turn this 6.1 into a 426... So an open diff won't do for that...

    Car question - Rear Diff

    So, I've got the chance to get an awesome deal on a complete rear-end for the SRT.... stock rear is 3.06 open diff. The one I'm looking at is the Getrag limited slip unit with 3.73's.... Currently, I can cruise at interstate speeds (70-75mph) at around 1800 RPM and I can average 22-24mpg...

    A reality check video

    I made it through about the first 8 minutes of those Darwin candidates.... I wouldn't say that it's a good sense of what can go wrong with motorcycling, it's more of a good sense of what can go wrong when you have the brain power of a hummingbird, and the maturity of a 2 year old. In almost...

    What's your cage?

    Awesome. Years ago I had a 67 Ford F100 that had the factory 240 in it and 3 speed on the tree... I made it about 2 weeks... bought a brand new 302 block. Stroked it up to 347... Ditched the tranny and put in a T-10 toploader.. 4 on the floor with a top speed of about 80mph... but it would get...

    What's your cage?

    Man... Y'all got some nice cars.... I was also looking at buying a S4 (V8, not v6 Turbo), but when I took it for a spin, it was a little small for me... but it was hella fun to drive. Instead I got this: http://www.998cc.org/forum/the-bar/19847-new-4-wheeled-toy.html Just got done putting new...

    Remove Front Wheel

    A man who doesn't use a spark plug socket because it's not the "proper" tool.... hangs his bike from the rafters with no wheels on it.... I use a spark plug socket... but I've got some pitbull stands man.

    Remove Front Wheel

    Assuming the hex is the same size as the Gen 1, I used to use a spark plug socket, flipped backwards, with a 4" 3/8" extension pushed into it backwards. Like so:

    The dragon

    As someone who live close to the Gap for 4 years... there are many better roads in western NC/eastern TN. I went to the Gap twice in 4 years, and I'll never go again. Too many cops, too many people in general, especially too many guys on Harleys doing 15-20mph. Go to Mountain City TN, hit...

    Rear axle spacing question

    So, here's the problem... Nothing back there is really built to the tolerances that you'd be ale to measure like that... About the only place you could measure between for accuracy would be from swingarm pivot to the rear axle...

    You're an engineer aren't you.... Where are you measuring? Between what two points?

    2004 FZ1 For Sale - New owner seeking advice and feedback from the community

    My .02 .... don't sell the bike. If you have the facilities, rip it to pieces and sell them separately. There's a good amount of money on that bike in levers, wheels, tank, etc... You'll get more for it as parts than as a whole bike with a salvage title.
