Hey Supramaniacs, a once in a lifetime even is going to happen around my area and maybe around yours. Any plans to see it? How are you getting there? How far in miles are you from your destination spot? There is projected to be an insane amount of traffic, but some of us may still brave the road...

Sorry again for being so deep in TonyWorld and being so late with my reply. There is always a crisis of some sort going on where I am. supra90turbo, the last time I rode my motorcycle was like the one time this summer that was over a month ago. Still a lot of good days in September though...

Sorry for the late reply, people--it used to be that I would get an email if a thread had additional posts. Glad to see everyone doing so well and acquiring what many would dream of. SupraMario, that is a lot of land! 200+ acres--amazing. I only have a tiny yard, but I share every bit of it...

Wow, I didn't think that this forum would come back. Many times, older forums never come back. Nice to see some familiar people in this thread here, and other folks being active as well. Therese, way back when we were active on this forum at the same time, I remember that you had political...

Allowed mission creep to have its way with me to no end, to then find that it wasn't worth it considering the situation. To explain it better: Had a good running 88 with all the features that I wanted, other than the 89+ styling! The perfect car for me, but it had an intermittent head gasket...

I actually stop by once in a blue moon to look at political discussions or opinions / insights. Being that I kind of know some people here, that makes it different than reading a political opinion from a complete stranger. Before I had any interest in political topics, I remember...

What's up, SupraMario?! I actually asked that question to one of my old SM/SF friends recently; yeah, social media took a bite out of forums. Personally, I think social media is too invasive: FB actually asked me for government ID to stay on. What if FB is actually a way for the government to...

Sometimes I think that the government actually wants you to speed. They allow you have a bike/car that can do triple the speed limit (of which they get a larger commission on [tax]), then they continue to tax/fine you when you actually use it.

Riding in such cold temps (34F) aren't you worried about your tires not sticking? Riding below 60F makes me nervous.

I've been riding a very long time as well. I've had lots of friends die, and I've seen accidents happen too. The biggest love of my life has been racing my CBR 9RR. I've spent lots of time at 45 degrees or lower. To me, riding near the edge of my limits (not beyond) gave me the feeling of what...

I've had two motorcycles: 1994 CBR 900RR, and the one before that, a 1989 Ninja 250. My experience with the Ninja 250 can be summed up as follows: I wasn't sure of whether I would really like riding, it looked OK, but I did not want to invest too much money into a bike that I wasn't sure if I...

Thanks. Since I am an old timer, double round headlights are a must for me! Can I talk you into to buying an FZR 1000 of the era you mentioned. Yamaha was the first to have a liter sized superbike, now each company's flagship bike is a liter sized superbike. Before the CBR 900RR came out...

You are actually sweating this one? First of all, it is a woman that is threatening you. Secondly, there are two of you (you and your girl) so more witnesses you have, the more likely the police will believe and take action. I am a landlord and I have had conflicts with my tenants in the...

Had this bike since Jan of 1995. It is actually a 94 but I painted it the earlier 93 paint scheme.

*IF* the scratch is only at the clearcoat level, then you could apply clear in the groove (scratch), then sand off the excess until the surface is level and the groove is filled. But you'd have to be surgical: 1) Clean the area: Gojo hand cleaner has always worked for me on (I have used it to...

Just did my submissions. Always been a fan of your work, Lance. If I am not mistaken, you have done some pretty cool custom jobs on bikes as well, and you can airbrush. I've done some custom paint work (in the middle of one now), but I haven't done as much as you have. I'd be interested to...

Glad I did not miss this thread. That trip looked like it would be a blast! Especially if you have the ride to be in it. There are some really nice MKIII's owned by some folks on the forums, but none can be called a hot rod except for Lance's. It is because of that paint and overall fit and...

As I see it! Furthermore, the seller is Paradise Racing. They have been selling Cometic gasket to the MKIII Community for some time. The seller is even a member of SF and I seen him post there a couple of times too. I think his name is Bob, IIRC. [EDIT: nope, it is Luis] Why does it...

Repost! Just kidding, but this may be of interest, if you care to read it. Things may have changed though. "whats it take to moderate" http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1748 At that time, esc, streetknight, & I were mods. Loki Then there was a thread where esc got...

Both of the CT26 turbos I owned had 10 fins on the compressor side. Is there anyway you can measure the diameter of the fins at different points to see if it is even the stock size? I believe that the stock compressor wheel is made of aluminum, and aluminum is pretty easy to diagnose by...
