Nice one!

In other news, I was watching the '02 German GP and caught a glimpse of Rossi doing the "feel for the pavement with your foot" thing on lap 14, iirc... didn't see anyone else doing that back then.

I really wonder how that would have played out if Marquez hadn't gone off in T1. He definitely had a good pace going once he cleared the field!!

Where's Baileyrock? He loves doing this... I was following him one day and I could have sworn his brake light was tied into his bank angle sensor!

Hey, if the thread title doesn't have the word spoiler in it, please don't post spoilers!!

epic race! I hope this keeps up all season!

Hell yeah!

I had planned to fly solo and/or let things fall into place during the week, but if there is a need, then I hereby volunteer to lead a group of medium or medium+ pace.

I didn't ride much at all last year, so I'll refrain from the fast group for now. See if I get my groove back before the weekend is out.

I use 4G in the garage for Pandora because the WiFi signal is weak out there. Works fine in the house for that.

I have DSL with 1mbps download... pretty much any video is taxing.

Is that the best DSL speed available up there? You may do better with a 4G home modem?

720p looks like the highest res they stream at, AT&T just upgraded me to 18Mbps and it plays good.

Best speed is about 5mbps, cost is about $30/mo. I am looking into using my phone as a 4G hotspot, but need to figure out total usage first. We're currently using about 3.5-4gb per month plus some WiFi usage at home. If I start streaming tv via hotspot I will need a LOT more.

My connection is stuttering at 360p trying to watch the 2014 British gp. Feck.

Just hit the pay button myself. Peer pressure sucks.

Not as much as the US television providers and their lack of moto coverage!!

I just bought it myself. Now I just need to work out my frustratingly slow Internet speed.

Curious to see if/how the COP's work out for ya. I put Accel coils in mine.

Riding = vibration... hence the tapping on the lines to get the air out, before you head out on the road...

For prize donations, yes. You're on your own with Timmy

I will donate:

- 1 can imported VR46 Monster Energy drink

- 1 unused KanadianKen 6th gen top box solo rack

- a handful of SebspeedCustoms stickers

And probably a few more things, need to dig a bit more.

You'll get my tiger striped bikini when you pry it off my cold, dead buttocks.

I bet I can get at least 10 volunteers to help me, Timmy! ;-)

With the killing, or the prying?

The R1 uses 210mm spacing vs Honda's 214mm... You need new spacers that are 2mm bigger each. And the same goes for the calipers. 2mm spacers per side.

I can make spacers for you.

By the way, those "front stay attach points", are actually the upper radiator mounts. Don't cut those off...

You have air trapped somewhere.

You've either missed a bleed point, or have not worked the air out well enough. Air will always go to the highest point. Starting at your calipers, use the plastic handle of a large screwdriver to tap all the way up to your bleed point. Use a small frequent tapping motion.

Once you've woodpecker'd your way up, crack the bleeder. **In the case of the master cylinder**, you MUST ensure that the bottom of the reservoir is higher than the banjo bolt/line connection! **Additionally** Do not fully squeeze the lever! You need to move the lever just a small amount, usually just enough to hear the brake light switch click on. Squeezing the lever more than that will just push the air back down the line.

You will likely need to remove the m/c from the handlebar to accomplish this. Use masking tape, string, etc to hold it in its temp position while you work.

A lot of the time, especially in factory systems, air will become trapped in one or more of the numerous junctions. The tapping method has helped me achieve rock solid brakes on numerous occasions similar to what you have described.

I think the mismatched wheels look good on that bike!

I have a 1098 solo cover, and a smoked led integrated taillight if you're interested...

Yikes!

Nice work

Looks like all your luggage came from DSS. The US-spec panniers say "interceptor" on the badge instead of "VFR", and also came with molded-in reflectors.

Dmitry, I have the Honda locknut tool if you want to borrow it. IIRC you have to remove the side stand to get to the nut on the end of the through bolt.

I would make those from 932 bearing bronze. If you send me some dimensions I'll quote them for you.

F2/3/4/4i have steel lowers.

Unless you're swapping apples to apples, you need to measure. The internet is great, but the saying goes: "Trust, but verify"
