I appreciate the heads-up. I wonder what parts they have and I need! ;)

Anyone participating in the Gentleman's Ride this weekend? Unfortunately it's hipster-bike only but this will be a good chance to wear a stupid-assed outfit while riding + it all goes to help Prostate Cancer research. I'll be there (for the ride portion).

Check it out: https://www.gentlemansride.com

If you are interested in buying it, do not get it from holeshot.y friend had s really bad experience there. He and a friend both bought one. Holeshot would not give them a deal. They picked up both bikes and when they got home and inspected the bikes, they found that both were not prepped properly.
When Holeshot was notified of this, they didn't offer anything to rectify the situation.

There is a dealership on the island that sells KTM and is willing to budge on price a little.

320icar 09-26-2015 01:07 PM

SoNaRWaVe 09-27-2015 11:08 AM

DKaz 09-27-2015 11:36 AM

How did he manage to pull in there in the first place?

Jas29 09-27-2015 05:24 PM

I would've rode home with it, but I don't want to be mistaken for some kind of yamaha scum KappaPride

I was curious about what kind of power a stock CBR would've made brand new out of the factory and according to this thread: Official Dyno Chart Thread - 600RR.net, its about 107hp. . . if you're lucky. I guess any bike is bound to lose a few horses, after 8 years and 37000kms. I wonder how much more a dynotune would be able to squeeze out of the outdated 600cc engine.

The Akra full system and tune seems to give the best results with a whopping 115-120hp.

The guy running the dyno said my rear tire is badly out of balance... that's why the graph is really bumpy instead of smooth. He said with it properly balanced I would get a little more power out of it



The shirt doesn't have a Yamaha logo on it:fullofwin:

DKaz 09-28-2015 10:19 AM

^^^ 100 HP!

On another note, drivers who treat motorcycles and scooters like bicycles. /rant

Is there a snapchat RS bikers feed/group?

bananana 09-28-2015 10:10 PM

A little different than the norm over here on RS. The Gentleman's ride is a yearly event where riders put on hilarious outfits and ride classic styled bikes while raising awareness for prostate cancer research. This year $2.1MM was raised by 36,000 riders in 400 cities.

A photo of the Duc chilling among the crowd at the Gentleman's ride event meetup. Showed up early so this was about half of the bikes. First time riding at higher speeds (commuting to the event of course) with a half-shell and I think I'm still a bit deaf.

goddamnit! i can't stop laughing at that GIF and i'm at work haha!

320icar 09-29-2015 08:35 AM

Banana- really?? My half shell gives me at least twice the hearing protection over my full face helmet. It's crazy

Vexor- snapchat is cowani. Hit me up
