There is not enough news in The Other for Riser.

 

Discuss.

 

My view of a Daily Mail reader is they wouldn't recognise news if they were the first to witnesses the second coming of Christ, unless of course it was to report an increase in immigrant population.

Who said anything about news? I said topics that weren't kiddie stuff.

I post news crap for my own entertainment value of watching others. I think this is one of the least talented forums today that I'm active on. :)

I do. I spend a lot of time on the forums for my bike looking at the next modications. $200 to $240 will give my bike 0-60 in under 2.7/2.8 seconds. $200 will put me at 2.9.

I use my bike for riding twisties and plan on going to the track to push it harder once I get the rest of my gear and new tires.

I want to get to this point:

Even to get to that lean angle, I have to start taking parts off my bike. I have a lean angle of upper 50s. That lean is around 35 and insane. He's one of the best riders in the world.. look at the guy in front and you'll see he's not even able to get that low.

I'm guessing they're doing about 70 to 80mph in that picture.

Just keep scrubbing the tires with steel wool like you have been and nobody will know the difference.

My tires are scrubbed edge to edge on a 160. Haven't been on a 170 or 180 to see how much further I can get over. Your bike has a 160, maybe a 170 on the rear.

I want to get a crash cage before I start pushing the corners hard constantly. That way I don't have to worry about trashing the bike if I go too far.

Your bike is like your friend's mom. Yeah, its older.. a bit worn.. not up to date, sags, its not all that flashy.. but you know she'd still be fun to ride.

I prefer riding my bike over you any day.

I can get on when I want, off when I want, it won't talk back, I can store in the garage, crank on it when I want, leave it alone for the entire winter, sell it or trade it off whenever I want and finally, in 10 years someone will still want to buy it off me for more than its worth. :)

I only came over to Other to stalk Riser, I met him on another forum, when the PMs dried up I started looking over here to see if he was really busy or just ignoring me. That part of Candles and Curry is actually factually correct.

I've been around for a while. I never wandered down into the forum. I spent a lot of time in Networking and Software sections.

Somehow I ended up in the Other.. I think Jhiggs told me to come down and BS around. Most of the guys I used to BS with in Software and Networking are gone.. but for some reason I came down here after a while. I got tired of answering the same questions, phased differently, over and over.

I've always hated forums.. but that's because I always looked at gamer forums. Now I check this one which the technical expertise level that I'm looking for doesn't appear to exist here.. and then I check the forum for my sportbike.
