Honestly, if I just had a bit more room for a TV, stereo and a beer fridge, I'd be set....

By the way, here is a picture of my "Shop" I work in. Pretty nice, eh? Lots of room to work.

When I had a 1-car garage, it used to look like that, so my next place had a 2-car garage. Didn't take long for it to look like that either. Next place had a 2-car garage with the back wall kicked out and extended to make it two cars deep on one half and ~1/2 car's worth of workbench space (so it was a 3.5 car garage, but looked like a 2-car from the street). Before you know it, cluttered. Now I have a 30x36 shop with a 12x30 second floor storage. Yup, you guessed it, you can barely walk thru the place.

I need to go on a cylinder reduction plan... but I don't want to.

I don't have a TV out there... but then I'm happy with the stereo.

I just go in the house and watch them on the big screen. The DVR will let me watch them whenever I want, so if it's a nice Sunday, I can go riding and watch 'em when I get home.

Damn! I have no big screen or DVR either... I feel shame.

Honestly, if i miss the race its no problem. The motogp.com site (if you subscribe) has awesome full race videos. They have the one you see on speedtv, but this year, I noticed they have really nice full length bike camera views on many of the race bikes. I like those because they turn them on well before the race, so you get a "behind the scenes" look at the race.

Here are some final shots of the ferring installed on my bandit trackbike.

Heading to Blackhawk Farms this weekend, if the weather holds out.

Been a few months but I thought I would post a trackday pic.

Since that pic, I've added steal braided brake lines. Man, those Galfers are nice!

That's a nice setup, I like the bars and riding position. My Honda helibars are not quite that low but have to work with my factory S bodywork.

I have found that now I sit too high on the stock seat, I would be interested in your imput regarding your seat height with the clip-ons.

My seat is being cut down and recovered by Tobin Seats, and should be 2-2.5inches lower than stock when done. That should give me the "sitting in" and not "sitting on" feeling I am looking for.

Anyway, very nice job.

Ride On, Ed.

I'm running 'Coerce' aftermarket Carbon which includes a cutdown seat. Good weight saving and the seat is lower by about 2 inches.
Will post photos when i can borrow my boys camera.....Gaz.

6'8" and 300 lbs !!!!!!! man you're a big dude ! thought the bandit looked looked tiny !! Gaz.

Honestly, being 6'8" and 295lbs, I am probably not the best person to ask about egros. But I did cut BACK the stock seat as this gave me a farther reach from the bars. With new rear sets on the way, I don't want to sit any lower (38 inch inseam).

It's a known anomoly. The 'quote a post' feature has gone haywire but the plain quote feature, like I used above, works fine.

If you use the 'quote a post' feature and want it to work, you need to go in and edit it a little. The way I've been doing it is you take the first tag:

Quote from: 2005B12S

and edit it to look like this:

Quote
[ b]2005B12S: [/b]
(but without the space between [ & b)

Then it'll make a quote that looks like this:

Quote
2005B12S: Sample post

Some folks don't want to go to that much trouble and edit it to look like this instead:

Quote
="2005B12S"

That gives you a quote that looks like this:

Quote
="2005B12S"Sample post

Still lets you know who said it, but runs the userid into their statement unless you add a space between the last " and first character of their post.

Thanks Paul.

But what if I want to quote a quote from your quote showing how to use a quote, while ensuring it stays bold and italic?

jwalters · « **Reply #28 on:** June 23, 2006, 01:26:44 PM »

I knew you were going to do that! Ha! Its definitely a friday here at work too!

Red01 · « **Reply #29 on:** June 23, 2006, 01:37:50 PM »

You just have to throw some spaces in there or things get all screwed up and you say screw it and delete your post.
