The 3G Ramblings & General Discussion Thread (Part 2)
I'm sure he knows a lot about building engines etc, and I certainly can't say I do, but he totally ignored nearly every technical question from Matt. And the cam timing/flash pro sentence blew my mind. Almost as a 100 shot would blow a J.
sup franch freyes?
Guise, I'm staying even longer in Malaysia, until the end of the month! Crabs, seriously need you to go drive my car around butt don't ride my motorcycle.

Kawasaki Ninja H2R comes stock with 300hp.
Coffin on 2 wheels.
We don't get to cover the ins and outs of the motorcycle world as much as we'd like, but there was no way we could skip bringing you the latest announcement of the Kawasaki Ninja H2R.
Great Galloping Jesus, does this thing look incredible.
The Ninja nameplate has typically been synonymous with top-tier performance, and this carbon fiber-clad monster seeks to take that reputation to another level. Crouched inside of that green, tubular steel trellis frame is a 998cc inline-four engine that has been supercharged to the tune of 300 horsepower. That unprecedented figure is almost guaranteed to carry the H2R well past the 200-mile per-hour-mark, for any test-rider brave enough to keep the throttle pegged and skillful enough to keep the 17-inch slicks stuck to the Earth.
The new Ninja isn't a street-legal machine – as evidenced by its headlightless, bewinged face – but rather a showpiece for Kawasaki knowhow. A single-sided swingarm – a first for Kawasaki – holds the rear wheel in place, while the steel trellis takes up less space than would an aluminum twin-spar. The carbon-fiber work on the cowl was designed with assistance from the company's aerospace arm, while engineering of the centrifugal supercharger was aided by minds in the personal watercraft division. Teamwork makes the dream work, we always say.
And this particular dream is expected to be come a streetable reality, we're told, at this year's EICMA show. The new Ninja formula is expected to be shown on a street bike debut at the event. Don't expect the consumer version to be as wild, and as wildly powerful, but we do anticipate it'll be impressive.

That's perfect logic...same reason I don't go to skrip clubs or bordello's. As long as I don't know I'm missing out on something it keeps it easy for me to remain fully satisfied and happy with what I have.
My good buddy keeps telling me to swap my TL (or S) with his 2014 Porsche 911 for a week. I haven't taken him up on it for that same reason.
I know once I ride and feel confident and love the feeling, I'll HAVE to have one. Not saying it won't happen ever, I'm just saying that's why I haven't done it yet.

my friend in San Antonio works for Ducati as a mechanic/tech.
his instagram is drool worthy! always posting pics of beautiful bikes.
I will not get one either, because I'd like it too much.
I also like speed too much.

Still with us, but he was ran over on the freeway and I was there saw the whole thing which freaked me out.
It was an older lady that hit him then car behind ran him over and the old lady has no idea she had even hit him til they chased her down.
So I dont ride often
