    For sure crazy. I have seen a lot of racers that lose the front a bit and use a knee to save it but this was rally a controlled crash and save. Sick.

    One last thing on that series of photos, look at them blown up and one shows that the front tire is off the ground BEFORE he even has his left foot back on the peg. Still giving it gas. Nuts.

    You guys don't realize that's MM riding style. Instead of over shooting the corner, he "lays her down" to change direction of the bike and then brings it back up pointed down the track.

    Yep the guys got talent and big big brass ones at that!:amen:

    that's the way I ride that's why I drop it all the time-you guys are just a bunch of chickin riders that's way you never drop the bike. By the removing the center stand req you to remove the headers-how come no one here knew that?:banana::banana::flypig::funky::funky::funky::funky::funky::funky::funky::funky:

    I go for a ride now before it rains, trying 1/2gal of 89 and 1 gal of 91 from my jerry can a touch of techron, and lowed the tires to 32.5 F and 35.5 rear-lower air pressure to a point makes the bike less tippy and better on bumps and graver and mud. Center stand is staying on due to I don't want to screw with the headers, I checked out chain real good and oil level too-bike is in excellent condition with 7,008 miles.

    that's true, but how do you know you can't make it unless you try? Running 91 I think it runs better it maybe the pipercross air filter lean it out a bit.

    Its a well know fact that techron has anti drop properties. Your good to go.

    Not to thread jack, but I just filled my push mower with 1/8 gallon of 87 octane and some Lucas cleaner. It felt much lighter and i was able to finish the lawn on the side of the house without dropping the mower.

    Look for additives with more Hydrogen or 'H' in them. Little known fact- additives don't increase power so much as they lighten the vehicle thereby increasing your HP to weight ratio.

    Well funny thing I add a gal of 91 and 1/2 a gal on 89-the engine sounded better less poping sounds. I am going to try all 91 next time and see what happens. For what ever reason higher octane gas does have more fuel additives that lower octane gas doesn't have. It could also be that I changed to a pipercross air filter and also a single 2 bos carbon slip-on that has to flow better, so more air is going in and out. buit the engine sounded better today and taking a 1/2 pound of air did make the bike happy on bumps, maybe a little less tippy too. On the ride back it was raining ug, but the bike was happy anyway.:banana::heh::bluesbros::noidea::flex:

    Sow to save you having to remove the headers to get the center stand off just cut off anything on the center stand that you can get a grinder onto, then you can pull the rest off later when you fit the carbon fiber headers

    that would work, but the center stand might come in handy one day. I don't use it right now because my old r6 rear stand works with a metal pole though the back wheel-I can get it in the air. I thought it would be much easy to take off-it isn't so I guess I am stuck with it.

    Do you wear full gear all the time when you walk the dog? Perhaps you should . . .

    After review the data from my last ride-I found out the 91 gas was no help at all in fact it caused the bike to surge at around 5100rpm, I am now switching to 87. I find it hard to believe, but the manual is right-it was set to run on 86,so 87 is perfect. 89 ran ok but I got a feeling 87 is the best-this is a very strange engine.

    A cup full of diesel always makes my bike run smooth.

    You might want to try farting repeatedly into the tank as well. You see, it's air AND gas so in the words of the eternal Joe Dirt "You win twice brother!"

    Dude your fucking high...I think your just a bafoon looking for attention. Negative attention is better than no attention at all. Hears the plan girly boy..since you can't handle a real mans bike..wah its to heavy...wah wah.get a scooter..thats about your limit...how long you been riding? I don't even believe you have a bike...lets see some pictures with you in them, oh and put your hairball cat on the seat
    And what is after I review data...are you fucking high???????
    One more question ..are you a troll? You must have some one put your bike (cough) bullshit on the center stand and you climb on and rock it till both tires hit and your off...the reason you fall over is when you get to around 5 miles a hour and have to stop your little troll legs don't touch down...hence falling over and waiting for some smelly Harley dude that likes little girly trolls to get said bike off you...
    IM :eek:DONE..IGNORE LIST IS YOUR NEXT STOP BAFOON
