Can someone give me the Reader's Digest version of what's happened in the last month or two? :laugh:
If nothing's happened, please make something up! :icon_mrgreen:
The economy had an epileptic episode, Obama was accused of being a homosexual crack-head, McCain still has neither said nor done ANYTHING remarkable and I bought a new laptop.
New laptop! AWESOME!!! What brand did you go with!? ;)
The New MacBook. It's all shiny and metal and stuff. :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen:

core2 duo/cor duo, theres a diffrence? does it justify the expense? ( i am curious) ( am not flaming by any means)
An got laid.. w00t!
Maybe its time to start a 'help TGG get laid fund'.
I'm not sure what the difference between the core and core 2 is, but no new apple is offered with just the core duo anymore.

THAT IS f%$king HILARIOUS!!!!!!
They certainly don't make things easy to upgrade, and have a cute little tendency to solder in processors.
BUT, this thing is f%$king NICE! A full battery charge is lasting me 8 hours or so using WiFi to the old ones 4-5, the display is a night and day difference, it feels more solid in general and I'm still tripping out figuring out all the shaZam! I can do with the trackpad now.

I'm not to hot about the flush mounts or the integrated tail flasher but that nothing a few bucks, some beer and a winter won't fix
nice bike. :thumb:
Quote from: jserio on November 12, 2008, 04:33:50 PM
nice bike. :thumb:
you know that bike is all great and all... but you know you can't do a fenderectomy on it? or swap the front end with a gixxer front end... seems like a waste to me :flipoff: :flipoff:
jk... nice ride... i dig the yellow.
Thanks guys. I have a short list of things to do, like soften up the rear suspension a little, I think the PO was a pig, swap the front turn signals for something a little more visible, and figure out if i want to nix the integrated tail (technically illegal in my state but the bacon leaves motos alone unless you are being retarded or flagged), and aftermarket fuel management system of some type.
I will need tires after next year too, even though they are new I seriously doubt that the pilot powers will last more than one season if the few rides i took to break the tires in are an indicator :laugh: :laugh:

How many miles you ride a year?
Pilot powers I get 3k out of a rear, that's about standard for the big bore crowd it seems, and 6k out of a front. The guy's running 600's and 750's are getting 4k to 4.5K on a rear they don't roast the rear as bad as the litre's do. I usually have tread left not completely worn out but 3k of hard riding usually roaches the tire compound and it's starting to slide beyond an acceptable point for me by then.

in a year i will put ~4k on my bike, even more if I travel around during the spring/summer/fall cause I'll ride if the wife isn't coming. Basically if i don't destroy them adventuring on mountainous roads they will go square on the highway. The bts on the GS lasted ~two years a pop, i'll probably go for something duel compound when i buy my first set of rubber for this bike.
Metzler z6 sport or michellin pilot road 2's. If you're a very agressive rider in the twisties you won't get the same stick as the pilot or pilot 2ct out of either of those but they will last 8k to 9k miles. And to be honest will stick just fine doing anything safe and reasonable within the legal limits and then some with no problem. I've never run a pilot power to it's full capacity on the street, tracks about the only place you'll ever need that much tire but I have been known to exceed the performance envelope of the ST tires on the street so I just suck it up and bear the price of my riding style.
Yeah I hear that. These were put on by the dealer before I got the bike however if I had chosen tires i wouldn't have picked them for exactly the same reason you state, don't need that much tire for street riding.
