What is your name? What is your favorite color? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

What is your name? What is your favorite color? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? he said swallow :lol:

What is your name? What is your favorite color? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? WTF is an airspeed velocity? Airspeed is a magnitude, velocity is a vector, and now you're combining them into a magnivector or something? :wtf: I'm an engineer... you can't use a silly term like that without me piping up about it.:lol:

:welcome: :twfrox:

yeah im still looking at options for the bikes style. not sure what im going to do yet. i do know that its going to be lowered (because everything i own is lowered and this is no exception), tinted, shaved as much as possible without taking away the appearance too much... the list goes on but those are the basics for now.

I'll save you the hassle and all the people that are going to rag on you here: unless you plan on making it into a drag-only bike, which you obviously arent' because you wouldn't use that bike for that, don't lower it. do not. don't. do not lower it. The first mod you need to get is full gear head to toe, since judging by the fact that you want to lower the bike, I bet you don't have it yet. A full 2-piece leather suit, motorcycle boots (sidi's are nice, I have em), gauntlet style gloves, and helmet. Second mod, take the MSF course. No excuses. Take it. Third mod, study study study and practice practice practice. Apply what you learned in the MSF class to your riding and spend hours in parking lots and deserted back roads practicing those techniques. Read both of Keith Code's books (a twist of the wrist I and II), as well as Lee Parks' total control and Nick Ienatsch's sport riding techniques. Fourth mod, spend around $200 and take the bike to the track. Most fun and knowledge-gaining experience money can buy. After all of that, then decide if you want to ruin the bike by lowering it. Oh yeah, and more pics of your hot wife please.

Oh yeah, and more pics of your hot wife please. Very tactful for once ceo :dthumb: And I do agree. But in the end it is your bike, money, n tyme. But you will be missing out on alot of adrenaline pumping fun if you go the lowered/stretched route. :cheers: :dthumb: :twfrox:

thanks i appreciate the suggestions but ive been riding since high school... my first bike was a 2002 cbr 600 f4i. i have all the gear and im not looking for something thats going to win a GP race by any means. i just wanted a stance thats lower thats all.

thanks i appreciate the suggestions but ive been riding since high school... my first bike was a 2002 cbr 600 f4i. i have all the gear and im not looking for something thats going to win a GP race by any means. i just wanted a stance thats lower thats all. The length of time you've been riding is irrelevant and in most cases has absolutely no correlation with riding ability. I've been riding for four months. I also don't recall saying you needed a bike that was going to win a GP race... in fact I didn't even suggest modding the bike at all. I didn't mean take it to the track to race it. I meant do a track day. Best money I ever spent. I saw a guy on the track on a ninja 250, so surely your bike will be fine. The lower stance will decrease the handling performance of the bike as well as allow less lean angle due to cornering clearance. Spend all your money on tires and track days, you'll be much happier than if you blow it all on blinged out stunta accessories.
