Sporting the new tank and cowl...not really sure, i might of liked the other one better. Did the mod for the head light,nice and easy. Did any of you guys try kevlar jeans? What kind of daily riding gear do you wear? Nate   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Thursday, April 05, 2007 - 07:17 pm:        .....................   S3pilot Posted on Thursday, April 05, 2007 - 08:04 pm:        Damn Snow! need to plow only one path to get the S3 out of the garage. Anybody going to the Moto Market party on Sat? I need to ride with someone cuz the speedo just quit. Any ideas? 2002 S3 1200 actual miles (second owner)   Xbullet Posted on Thursday, April 05, 2007 - 08:13 pm:        If it makes you guys feel any better, it's gonna be freezin' here in GA this weekend. No return trips to the land of March Badness this weekend for us. frozen roads and 110 degree curves don't mix. damn humidity.... Enjoyed ridin' with you guys at MBIV. can't wait to ride with ya again.   Ducxl Posted on Thursday, April 05, 2007 - 08:24 pm:        It was an AWESOME weekend!!!!!!   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Thursday, April 05, 2007 - 10:38 pm:        Yo Jim....When can I meet up w/ ya and get them stock rearsets w/ the black pegs? I will be putting these on till I get the parts needed to fix my Rizoma set. This weekend some time?   Damnut Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 09:31 am:        Yea no problem. I'll be on my bike all weekend. I think I'll probably go to work for a few hours on Saturday to do some training for this system I have to work on in Ireland but besides that I'm pretty much free.   Ducxl Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 09:39 am:        Jim,do you also get the "factory training"? You know....like..."we go to your factory and train to service our machines"!!! I used to see that...and get responses like,"We've never seen our machines do that before". Now we're in trouble.   Damnut Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 11:37 am:        Yea we have training classes here at the factory as well. I don't do the theory classroom part but I do teach the on the tool preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, inspection and overall training on the machine part of class. get this...... for a week of training we charge 6K per student per week.   Ducxl Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 11:48 am:        So what's the average price of your products?? $1M??   Nevrenuf Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 12:18 pm:        yea ducxl, deffinately cool riding with you guys up there and i wish i would have gotten more pics. i guess i was just thinking about myself and having to good of a time. hope it ain't getting to cold for you up there.   Damnut Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 12:59 pm:        depends on what system. The systems that I work on typically run from 100K to ~500K. There are other systems in the Semiconductor division of our company that go for millions.   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 02:21 pm:        Cool...I will get in touch w/ ya saturday then.   Scott_in_nh Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 02:44 pm:        Hey NEBO, hows it going boyz? Sounds like you had fun at MB - Eric I've seen a few comments about Hammer not being allowed to lead connected with your name, but no story. What happened? Anyway, I'm glad you kept your bike up (and Greg kept his dinner down) this time! Track should be opening soon (when the snow melts I guess!). We should really start looking at dates for you guys to come up. I live close to the track and have room for a couple of people to stay (though my shower has limited head room - long story!)Or there is a campground right around the corner from me. If you got out of work early on Friday you could make it for Friday night at the track followed by riding or boating on Saturday.... Or there are some Saturday Streetfighter races/test and tune. where you could come up Friday night or Saturday morning stay the night and ride or boat the next day.... Thoughts?   Damnut Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 04:42 pm:        Ahh a story...... Well I won't be the bearer of bad news so I'll let Eric tell you what happened but it goes something like this. I for one am all for a track day. I have a place to stay in Franklin if space is limited.   Ducxl Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 05:17 pm:        Scott,are you speaking of Epping,or Loudon? Jim...funny arrangement of emoticons,sorry it's at Eric's expense.But he can take it.   Edger Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 08:14 pm:        Anybody going to Motomarket in Acton tomorrow 4/7/07? It's their aniversery party ,probably free food, you know, can't pass that up. I'm going to head up there in the late morning, then maybe putt around for a bit before returning to Sheldon's at about three to drop off the Uly for it's 1K service. If anyone's going up drop a note here, I'll check it in the AM before I leave, maybe we can hook up. DC   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 10:07 pm:        You Guys are killing me! Okay not my best moment for sure... Ridding to the dragon down 60. Livnlo following, Tracker in back of him, both tapping it all on film, speed picks up and all is going good for a while, coming in on a corner and Tracker apears in right mirror(also filming)...I think he is way too close and is getting ready to pass on the right,split second to make a decision and I bail from the corner into a dirt driveway i see as not to take him out (nor myself)....all is good till i need to hit front brake as no more dirt driveway...front tire washes out and I fall down and go BOOM! I will leave it at that...I am still not pleased with that move but it is over and done with. It was caught on tape by both of them...just my luck, I crash and get it on tape by 2 people....   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 10:16 pm:        before returning to Sheldon's at about three to drop off the Uly for it's 1K service. DANGER DANGER Will Robinson!!   68eb429 Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 11:41 pm:        Not to change the subject but, I just bought a leather from Vanson leather in Fall River MA{10 min from house)...350 out the door with ce armor E,S, and back triple zippers and vents norm 690 with out armor. If you havnt checked it out go there its worth it! Pants next... Nate   Scott_in_nh Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 11:41 pm:        I'm talking about Epping. Louden sounds like a great idea until, at least for me, you look at the cost/risk factors! So drag racing is what I had in mind - cheap, safe, fun! And Eric, if you get passed on the right at the strip it is because you are in the left lane! Frankly your situation is a good example of why I do not like large groups and/or riding with people I don't really know...I'm glad it didn't end worse!   Eboos Posted on Friday, April 06, 2007 - 11:49 pm:        Edgar, let me know how Moto Market's thing goes. I will be stuck at work. "DANGER DANGER Will Robinson!!" LOL! This is even more funny if you know why.   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Saturday, April 07, 2007 - 12:29 am:        I would love to go and run my bike down the 1320. Would even take the Family to this, They would have a good time doing something like that. What is req'd as for leathers? I have a jacket and pants but they do not zip together.... I have been watching ebay for a descent one on the cheap...   Edger Posted on Saturday, April 07, 2007 - 08:12 am:        "I would love to go and run my bike down the 1320" You want to ride a WHOLE quarter mile in a SRAIGHT line? Drop the keys and step back two paces from the Buell!   Scott_in_nh Posted on Saturday, April 07, 2007 - 09:45 am:        Just because these bikes handle is no reason to turn your nose up at running the 1/4 mile Edger! Maybe you don't think it is your thing, but I promise you will learn better clutch, throttle and gearshift control! I also promise that you will have fun! Eric- for over 10.99 and under 120 mph you need boots above the ankle, leather jacket (though they will usually accept textile as long as it has armor), leather gloves, snell helmet. under 10.99 or faster than 120 you need leather pants (I wear them anyway - no requirement for zipping)and a tethered kill switch (very good idea to have even for street riding!). At least a top chain or belt guard is required - your bike will go through tech. It is not required, but I highly recommend a front end strap! Nose around http://newenglanddragway.com for schedule, hotels etc. I would be happy to meet anybody reading this at the track and show them the ropes! Streetnights are $20 for as many runs as you can get in - cheaper than pumping quarters into a racing game at an arcade!   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Saturday, April 07, 2007 - 11:13 am:        well there Edgar...I sure hope when we meet you do not have any "chicken stripes" on them tires of yours or I will be asking you why you do not hit the twisties like the bike is ment to do.... I personally do not like driving in a straight line...UNLESS it is 1320 at a time... Running your bike at the race track helps with shifting quickly and efficiently, the better you know your bike the better you can control your bike.... This also helps if you are at a track day as you can get out of the hole alot faster than others that do not practice this, also when another bike tries to smoke your a$$ at a light it just makes for Good competition....   Livnlo Posted on Saturday, April 07, 2007 - 11:27 am:        hey eric and jim i only live a few exits up from the drags and know some cool back roads to get there as always your welcome here couch and my lovely air mattress is open to any and the moter home soon to i hope   Livnlo Posted on Saturday, April 07, 2007 - 11:28 am:        andit did make for some good video   Edger Posted on Saturday, April 07, 2007 - 06:36 pm:        Well now....a track day, that's more like it! I haven't been yet but it is IS on the list of things to do. Maybe this year, though I would really like to take Larry Grodsky's "Stayin' Safe" course down in PA, WV and Virginia. Now that sounds like fun! DC. PS. I think I can handle the shift-clutch thing.
