Ratsyon, Kewl. You will be amazed at the difference it will make in your bike. Keep in mind that you will need to have your TPS checked and possibly reset. Mine was spot on when they checked it after my swap but, from what I understand it is a crap shoot. Typically, this is not an expensive thing to do but, that depends on your dealer. Of course our dealer is the bomb. You might want to consider riding over and doing the swap and letting SMHD take care of you on this one. |

I HAVE ACTUALLY CONSIDERED SELLING MY R FOR A ULY!!!! I wanted to make sweet, sweet love to Nadine. That bike was sooo smooth compared to my Cyclone. The seat was comfortable, the EFI throttle response was excellent, and it felt really comfortable in corners with those high foot pegs. I won't be getting rid of the M2XS any time soon, but I'd love to have a Uly for a second bike. |

Ok, dudes and dudettes, I got some pics too but I'm going to put them in a cheesy girly like slide show with music and dancing monkeys and such so it won't be ready till this weekend or so. |

not sure about mounting and balancing. Mounting & balancing = $25/tire on the bike or $15 if you just bring the wheels in. Can't beat that with a stick. |

Hey Guys/Gals, Had a great time this weekend and it was good partying with everyone all together in the hills. Good food, nice digs, great company, all we need is a band next year. Finally have a chance to post as I've been busy setting up my tool box to drag back to Delta as I started the engine mechanic position today. Haven't had a chance to mess with my charging system on the Cyclone but have already tracked down a VR if needed. Gotta be in the mood to give it some Frank lovin and work has me pissed at the moment. The whole ride thru rush hour traffic this morning I was thinking of the good time we had, that and the Blues music on WRFG can get me thru another week at "the suck". Sanchez, We'll have to start a seperate INK section for all the 3% that are sporting art or piercings. That latter bit was for the pervs in the group, you know who you all are! My buddy John made it home to Valdosta ok but to tell you what a class act he is I'll drop this story on ya. Down Mcdoughna way exit 218 he picks up a stranded biker with a blown engine on his Busa, loads him up on his trailer and drives him 100 miles out of his way back to the guys house in Lithonia... The guy offers him $200 for his trouble but John only peels off $50 for the gas his duellie burned and just said to return the favor to the next downed biker the guy might run across (proably me). Then resumes his 4 hour drive south. Quite the solid guy. Lets load up on fresh rubber, a bushel of parts and some hootch and do it again real soon! |

M1a65.....I have one of the prostheses ready for some ink. Give me a call here at the office 404-636-0321 or my cell and lets work out a way for you to get it. I have the color drawing of the tat as well. She is really anxious to get it back. Can anyone recommend a decent Video Imaging software. One I can pick up at Office Depot or Target. The one that came with my vid camera is marginal at best. I don't want to break the bank but want one that is pretty good and SIMPLE to use. Thanks. |

Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 $99.99 It's the best out there for what you want to do. The time you take to learn the software will pay off big time. |

More pictures posted Hey Duc_htr, PM me your email address, and I'll send you my footage for your collection. I got your wheelie coming up to the corner and some footage of the demo riders. Lightning Dave got some good tape on my camera of Smokescreen and New12r tearing up Gixxer Corner. I'll get Will's footage from his camera tonight too. Here are some random clips without any real editing: http://www.svtoa-atlanta.org/sanchez/video/mb-random-340.wmv New12r/Smokescreen, you guys make it look EASY! |

Just got back to the cooler climate I call home and it feels like I just left, it all happened so fast and yet it took so long to get here. I HAD A BLAST THIS WEEKEND- Literally :} It was nice to see all you hooligans again and meet some new ones. I'm impressed, in the last 8 months you guys have acquired some cool people into the 3%er's!! Bambi- You were cruisin' down 60 on Sunday. You did AWESOME!!! I think you're a better rider than you give yourself credit :} I pushed the hell out of the blast coming down 19 towards Turner's Corner- couldn't keep up going up blood mtn though- the bike just doesn't like altitude gain but I gave it a good try. Next time I come out I'm bringing my 'real' bike. No more of this not keepin' up with the big boyz crap. GREAT EVENT!! I heard so many people say how smooth it ran and how the lead guys kept a good pace. Too bad the 'rain' scared people off on Sunday, you guys were smokin' getting rides in and out all day!!! We would have broken our record for sure. Anyone have a final number?? |

>>Next time I come out I'm bringing my 'real' bike. No more of this not keepin' up with the big boyz crap. If you need to I have a bike you can ride if you can't swing the XB. Just throw a couple of bucks towards the inevitable tire change running the mountains causes. (Message edited by tbs_stunta on April 04, 2006) |

Thanks Mtnchld, As Charlie would say, just learning my comfort zone. I was seriously more comfortable this season so it was much more enjoyable. Practice! Practice! Practice! Maybe by next season I will actually be comfortable enough to ride (way in the rear that is) with you guys. That's my goal anyways. It was good seeing you again. |

We broke 300 and we didn't even have a full day of riding Sunday. Hummm....... Cool. Bambi- I thought you did AWESOME!!! I was two bikes behind you and I only had to hit my brake a couple times all the way to 19- good job!!! Sanchez- GREAT PICS!!! Duc_htr- Can't wait to see some of the ones you took as well as the video of everyone going down 60 on Sunday (Just remember to keep the audio you recorded out by the campfire to yourself)

"Duc_htr- Can't wait to see some of the ones you took as well as the video of everyone going down 60 on Sunday" I'd be very interested in the video you shot on Sunday. I was the guy you waved past on the great road (can't recall the road name, but it was the one with the lodge at the very top) that Drift lead us up late in the day. That ride with you, Drift and Smoke (Tim) will stay with me forever. It's incredible how fast you can go when you are following fast riders. It was an amazing display, gentlemen. If you have any of that on tape, please make it available. I know video production isn't free... let me know. |

DJKap - Video production is free when you’re doing it for yourself... I am planning on making a dvd of the entire weekend... I think I am going to catch up with some 3%ers and make some more hard riding video for the DVD... so anyone I promised video to let me know when you will be up there and I will try to get some then... Hats are still capable of being ordered so e-mail me or PM me and I will get them ordered... $25 (need Hat size and style of hat & the way you want your name spelled CaPiTaLS ETC) MtnChld That video of the camp fire will defiantly be on the DVD (at least some of it) Make sure to post your pics (in the pic section) so I can include some in the dvd... I would also like to get video if any of you guys have any from this weekend... I will trade you a new tape for your used one if so I can encode it at high quality...
