I'll give it a spin, though.
Some youtube likes would be much appreciated ...

Ah, the sweet death of responsibility, we know it well. Honestly though, if it makes the bike more fun for you to ride, I totally get that. I had occasion to swing a leg over a friends 450 KTM motocrosser with a Two Bros exhaust and while the bike was fantastic, the BRAAAP was a little off-putting. It sounded cool for my 2 minute blast about, but I cannot see myself enjoying it for anything longer than that.Jaeger wrote:Rench wrote:WooHoo!!!! They're getting as old as us my friend.

Oh yeah, she's not going anywhere. I suspect I may need to find a replacement clutch cover -- not something I want to buy new for a 13-year-old bike.
The other thing I'm finally admitting is that I'm going to need "real" mufflers at some point. The Cherrybombs are an improvement over the last shit cans I had on there, but they're still more obnoxious than I'm comfortable with in what's otherwise a fairly polite neighborhood.

Oh, in a previous incarnation Athena used to spit big blue fireballs on decel. Scared the shit out of folks behind me. Always good fun.red wrote:My buddy had a CB750 SOHC that he used for Land Speed racing. .... It did make some awesome fire balls on occasion.

Sorry, too lazy to bother since the whole Photobucket debacle. I'll work on something new, the old trippin' into the mouths of gators was getting old anyway.Jaeger wrote:And before that you had the "Cosmic Cutie" from HHGTTG (hence the moniker), and I had the fateful pic of my claw that bound me to Br'er Rock so many years ago.DerGolgo wrote:Not sure I'm liking it.

We just gotta get guys like BSH their avatars back. It's confusing when I don't see the pic to tie the personality to the post.![]()

You go to User Control Panel select Profile from the dorp-down then select Edit Avatar from the other drop-down. Click Browse, select the image file from your machine, and Debauch.
You can use any image you like, so long as it's not illegal shit, no flat-earther bullshit, and so long as it fits those limitations:If the image you wish to use doesn't fit those limitations.

Email me the image you wish to use (and, if necessary, any instructions as to where to crop what) admin at utmc-forum dot org.
I will bring out the GIMP and chop extraneous bits off of your image to fit it into the straight-jacket the weirdo in charge here has commanded. Then I'll email it back at ya, because while I can set any avatar to anything I bloody well like, for all of you here. You hear me? Your avatars are at my mercy!
While I can do that. I'd have to look up how to do it. And I'm too lazy to bother doing that.

Fuuuuuuck. That sucks. They going to re-test in a few weeks?DerGolgo wrote:...
First time in my life I get in a good place with exercise. First time I manage to look forward to noticeable positive effects. Better stamina, endurance, and some actual muscles. Also helpful with the weight loss, exercising causes the body to go into the fat reserves even when it doesn't actually have to.
And now it's verboten.
Fuck.

They'd re-test today if they didn't all shut their doors early on a Friday.Jaeger wrote:

Yeah, been thinking about the Supertrapps. That may well be the way to go. The Cherrybombs are a helluva lot better than those Emgo shit-cans, but they're still... well, rude, especially considering Spud's bedroom is directly over the garage.

I found that I easily forget that, after the "browse" dialogue.
Yeah, if you tried uploading a video as an attachment to the post, that won't work. This board is quiet, still, a place of tranquility and contemplation. Where we appreciate the still, not the moving image. Or we just don't have the room to host a lot of video, and I never even tried implementing such a feature. Either one may be it, I dunno. It's like 9:30pm on a Friday, I had to deal not with one but with TWO fucking banks today, as you do when you try to do something as extravagant, vainglorious, and boorish as withdrawing money from my well balanced checking account, through an occult and demonic installation, referred to in hushed tones and never after dark, as an "ATM".Bigshankhank wrote:Round two, electric bugaloo.
