  1. Yes, Marquez showed a lack of maturity. He should have settled for second and the plentiful points. He was operated on by the Doctor, for sure. It was certainly great drama.
  2. Okay, the photography is awesome. I ride a VFR and also tote a "real camera" much of the time. Great to see pics taken with something other than a smartphone. You have skills. What are you shooting with, btw?
  3. Wow, you have a great collection of bikes. Hope the warm weather settles in for good up there soon. Show us a pic of that '98. I have a '99 myself which is the exact same bike. Wonderful machine. Also, thanks for your service as well. I have a son starting Air Force duty this summer out of Purdue AFROTC.
  4. I'm sorry, it was actually the second red flag I'm asking about. It occurred at 19 laps. No clue provided by announcers as to the cause. Was it just to allow all teams a tire change...like a mandatory safety red flag due to all the past tire issues?
  5. Does anyone know what caused the first red flag during the race? I watched the internet coverage off and on. It was free and that is the only good thing I can say about it. There was a red flag after 19 laps and the announcers never said what the cause was. I was baffled.
  6. This road and the surrounding scenery are awesome. You have to be so careful not to get wrapped-up in the scenery and not pay enough attention to the road. This is definitely a place everyone should visit and do some hiking also.
  7. I've dedicated my 5th Gen to solo riding, so the pillion pegs and brackets are gone. Bike looks better as well. As previously mentioned, the simplest weight loss is to work on the rider.
  8. I'm actually running +1 on the front in order to bring down interstate RPM's. The speedo is now spot on and I don't mind the slight acceleration decrease.
  9. Handsome bike.
  10. Okay, I took the criticism about my shifting and tried to improve. I think I was a bit hungover and lazy in the first video. This road is much better also. See below:
  11. Wow, that is awesome. I enjoyed the two 4th Gens I owned. They are awesome bikes and I'll buy another one someday.
  12. That is what a proper, gear-driven cam VFR sounds like before the accountants got hold of it on the 6th Gen. I'll do a nice, twisty road next time. This was just a test for the GoPro mount.
  13. I mounted the GoPro on one of the pillion handles. Seemed to work okay.
  14. Found this neat spot near Cincinnati, OH overlooking the Ohio River on 4th of July.

    Love the no-sticker look. Very clean.

    Technique

    Your technique really isn't that bad. Your are not leaning the wrong way or anything. Looks like a decent sport-touring position, but not sport. So, your body position looks proper given the bike.
  17. Need some background on the bike in its unique configuration.
  18. I really like the styling. I have to imagine it without the rear fender tail. That would go away in about 5 minutes.

    That kickstand looks custom. I'm not quite sure about that mod. Looks potentially unsafe. Seriously, a great looking 3rd Gen.
  20. I have swapped a Gen 4 rear rotor without pulling the axle. You will have to use a rubber mallet to coax it a little. Same with installing the new one. It isn't violent. Just a couple of precise hits.

    Good form and about as much lean angle as I'd be comfortable with on public roads.

    5th Gen with high exhaust, blue paint, and no decals. Very nice.
  23. Yeah, that is about what I get. Pretty typical, I think.

    Wow, I'm jealous. All 3 are very, very nice. I miss my Gen 4.
