Re: How about a new V8 bike event?

Thanks Shane, appreciate the update. Having been to My-am-uh not too long ago, I recall numerous places to stay and most were modern and very affordable. Nothing's too far there so even if the casino runs out of room, there's plenty around. I wonder how many of the 80 you mention will be in an RV :?...

Re: How about a new V8 bike event?

I was just talking to some of the S. Florida guys about that a few days back. They're going to try and not wonder too much by getting a transport company to haul half dozen or so out there and then they'd fly. It's a bit over 1,500 miles so I don't blame them. Having to deal with I-75 or I-95 takes ...

Re: Headlight Modulators

Ok guys, I'm one of those grit your teeth types with the modulators. Grrrrrr :evil: The reason I grit is the same reason you're using. They are VERY visible and in many riding situations, they would have to add a good degree of safety. That's something no one can bitch about. I think about all the o...

Re: New look V8Bikers Homepage!

Thanks for what you did guys. I used to always check tech sections before "general" on past boards but I too found it to be cumbersome and have avoided it as a result. This will steer me right back to it. Seems your continued tweaking makes the site better and better. Carb Mike...what can ...

Re: Wildman's V8Biker pic of the day

Shane, He must have some bling giving him 30 more hp than mine than. It's possible as David's first DART had 500 hp but more torque. The cam specs or intake can do a +/- either way that much hp. I hope everyone noted that my comment was sarcastic. The motor and color are just like my 2 wheeler. I tr...

I've never posted there as my politically correc...

Re: Wildman's V8Biker pic of the day

Glad you pointed that out. I thought it was a normal sized bike and an incredibly good looking midget. I really like the 'Pic of the Day' to include riders that look best in high heels.

Re: When is it acceptable to use the words "Oh Sheet"

Although "oh sheet" would be the first words out of someone's mouth on that one, the end result is more appropriately "fugly".

WM, since when does the king of f#*k that f#%cking f^*kity f#^k screw around with "sheet" instead of "shit"?

Olaf, Wow, did that bring back old memories! That was the 280 Sumitomo I experimented with. It was the most miserable handling bike I had ever ridden with that decision. Had pretty good traction at the track but was terrible especially with high speed turns. I scared a few guys riding next to me go...
