Can anyone read any of the plates? I can't. 

Only 9 years old? lol Yea...I'd get rid of those! They're probably fine for running around, but I wouldn't want to have to rely on them in an emergency situation. 

Is the 6G more reliable than the 5G in general? Are the yellow wires a thicker gauge? 

One model Dunlop did it too a long time ago. 

My days would not be complete if I didn't watch the daily 10 minute dose from these guys. Be aware...it'll make you want to stay home under your covers.

Is the structure cut or is it just rubber? 

If you see a driver in America...you'll not likely see them driving well. They stop for almost nothing here in Charlotte. No red lights. No stop signs. No yielding in rotaries. It's pretty grim. 

One of countless examples from yesterday on my first ride of the year ride. A newbie would have just ben squished. What does meathead's tiny penis truck and huge trailer rig weigh. 10k-20k pounds? 

Just paint them both the same black. 🙂

Sounds like fun. Let me know if you get any rates sorted. I've lost at that game too many times to book without them. 

No idea, but did you even try Google?

Not a lot out there with a quick search. Smarter people will post!

The Supertrapp cans that I've owned have been some of my favorites, and I hate loud.

We'll see you in a year when you get through all of them and realize they're all current...and there's no shortage of material available. 

Aside from the bad driving, the common theme seems to be that we're a country of liars. Video is proof. 

My cars all have a Viofo in them. They're pretty great. Wonky interface, but that seems true for all of them. 

Love the frame and engine colors. Blue and black would go nicely with those. 

Is the conversion in the forum someplace? My wax is waxing just fine, but there are a lot of failures reported. I'd like to have a backup plan!

My CB-1 has strange bars from an older GSXR on it, 1991-1992 GSXR750, I think. They're...fine, but I'd love another cheap option. 

Volcanic ash? Snow cone truck accident? A truck from Mexico explode in front of your house? 

If pro sports players were paid the $150k/year they're worth...we wouldn't have pro sports. 

Water Wetter in the mix? 🙂

Is there any resulting data from this mod? I like the idea...but it seems like coolant is the heater, not oil, right? Or is he trying to extend oil life? 

While the 5th gen runs warmer than some of my other bikes, it still seems well in the realm of AOK as long as there's no air bubbles in there. 

A while back someone(s) was looking for risers like my ones from Belarus. (Straight height addition like the old Genmars.) It looks like there is one on fleabay. 

Looks like just two left.

You may be right, Gaz, and I hope that you find one to share with us...but you'll likely buy one of these in your life. How much time do you want to put into finding an alternative to save a few bucks? 

I don't own anything that new! lol

It can, but most folks I know "overbuy" instead of using a standard. I use Valvoline 3/4 in all of my bikes and cars, including for 100% track use without issue. IF your system is truly under extreme stress/heat, you may need a racing version, but that is nearly no one. 

The amount used will depend on how much flushing you do/need to do...and the size of the bottle. They come in many sizes. One 12 oz bottle would easily do one bike. unless you over do it! 

This is 32 oz of DOT 3/4 and it is CHEAP!

I try to do all of my bikes every spring just before the season. The track bikes get a mid season flush in the fronts. 

The bigger bug is normally dirty caliper pistons and not bad fluid.

That is our classic "chip-seal" and as you say it is grippy as hell but also pretty abrasive; that, and my carefree approach to cornering, are probably why I never get very good mileage out of my tyres.

That is nothing like the chip/seal we get here in NC. It was so hard to trust that it wasn't gravel. This was back in 2005. 

And that tire? You have a serious throttle problem. lol!
