Plaine & Sons in Schenectady has weekly rides at Central Park on Thursdays and Elevate Cycles in Saratoga Springs runs (last I knew, anyways) the SMBA system. Both shops should know other places to ride as well. :)
Mkay, now how about scanning in the "Turndowns" part on page 118 that says, "To see an ultra-high-speed turn down in action, watch James "Bubba" Stewart on a motocross track".

You can clearly see that Bubba is accelerating wayyyy harder than RC coming up to this lip, yet they both get airborne and land at almost exactly the same time. Bubba buried it, caught up to RC carrying by more speed into the jump, scrubbed, and landed about dead even. Without the...
FULL DISCLAIMER: The material presented here-in is dated in content and should be taken as such. I make every attempt to not spread mis-information, but the following will at best be damn-near hearsay.
Anyways - I met the dudes behind Draco a few years ago at Plattekill. They were bros from...
Not to be a downer, but a worn out engine will take a lot of kicking to get kickin'. I put off replacing the piston rings in my 125 for a couple years until it got to the point where it took infinite kicks to start (i.e. wouldn't run at all). Do you know the service history at all? A new top...
Rilly? Worked for me just now. Anyways, here's the Suspension Tech page link: http://motocross.com/motoprof/moto/mcycle/suspen.html
The pdf in question is the first article on the page.

I've used the gist of this guide when I changed the oil in my Avy. Sort of a visual companion to Bati's excellent advice.
Mobster for sure in the rear. The last Plattekill mud race I had to switch out my Minion rear for a Mobster due to hardcore mud packing. The front tire choice is quite as critical because it's stays rolling (and thus shedding mud). I ran a Swampthing Front / Mobster rear without too much drama.
AutoCAD (imo) is amazing for 2-D multi-view style work. My last job was at a boiler venting pipe manufacturer and AutoCAD rocked for that. There's no need for 3-D solid modeling when the most complex shape you work with is an elliptical cone made of .024" sheet metal. Spend some time with...
Gmail can also be used with external e-mail programs like Outlook or Thunderbird. I'm not sure if Hotmail can but I know yahoo requires a premium membership for that.
Back on topic, yay for technology! I just picked up a non-Apple laptop but it rocks nonetheless.
A "g" is just an acceleration measurement like everyone said. 1 g = 32.2 ft/s^2 = 9.8 m/s^2. You jam on the brakes hard coming off a straightaway into a corner, there's some negative g. You crank hard coming out of a corner, there's some positive g. You slam a big rock, there's some negative...
Joining the party a little late but I'll toss in my 2 cents. I've spent about a season each on 3 different forks: Old school 6" Boxxer, Stratos S8, and Shiver. Honestly, I never felt like the Boxxer was holding me back. I ran it with a 2" drop crown similar to Suspect Device and was happy as...
Put giant X's on all the pages with a Sharpie and mail them back in the postage-paid envelope.

I have about $50K in renter's insurance and it costs about $250 year. With replacement cost you almost hope someone will break in and steal your stuff. "I got the TV for free, but hell, a new one would be a couple hundred bucks.." :devil:
I made sure to tell them I own an expensive bike...
If your garage door was of the automatic clicker type, I would get in the habit of taking the remote clicker off of the visor as part of the bike loading routine.
"Bike on, check. Garage door opener moved to an inaccessible place inside the car, check. Game on!"
Haha, thanks. That quote just made my morning. :thumb:
When is long-hair month? The only haircuts I've gotten in the last two years have been for job interviews..
Definitely go with the daisy duke jean shorts.. Also make moto noises on the uphill, be sure to include changes in pitch for slipping the clutch: Braaaah, brr brra, brAAAAap!
