Took my bike for a dyno run today...
I'm a bit long winded so I'll do my best to keep this short. I bought the bike from craigslist after it had been "looped" or wheelied into submission by the previous owner. As far as he knew, it just needed new rear plastic, hand-grabs, left peg...

I don't think so. The way Marquez is riding is not bike-related. From what many of the top experts are saying as well. Marquez is in a league of his own and would win handily on either the Yamaha or the Honda.

Also, I'm not exactly sure what the linkage looks like on a Fz8 but you could...
It's funny, this torque thing...

I'm also planning on hitting Deals Gap this summer. I have paid sabbatical from work this summer from July 16th to September 21st... My plan is to trailer my bike from Arizona to Ohio to spend the summer w/my brother and his family. They ALL ride! His wife, son, son-in-law..(Daughter is...
Here's how I did mine... (Just did it on the FZ8 Triple I'm going to be using on my R1 conversion)
Keep punch as centered as possible. (I'll show you why later)
Starter dent created by punch
Start off with small drill
Use oil to prevent bit from overheating.
Gradually...
