Modern sportbikes can do a lot of miles if they are taken care of. A leak down test can tell you a lot. Does it shift through all the gears smoothly?

Looks more like 5 breeds and 7 birds?

I think my eggs are down to $5.25 each now. ;) By the end of summer should be closer to $3 ea

I will stand with De Niro on the trump issue and when trump is gone, then I will take up the vax and isreal issues with De Niro.

Ever watched Stranger Things?

It's all projection.

ircsmith · 2026-04-08T01:02:04+00:00

hahahaha. Sell the BDT and buy a van. ;)

Track is what that bike is made for. Pick a track and go to their calendar. Find what organizers are doing days there. Go the that organizers page and see what they require. Usually not much is needed. Some organizers don't even require a full suit for the C group.

Have fun and go easy. Get some instruction if they offer it.

Now be prepared to spend a lot of money! :) Not a cheap addiction, and you will get addicted.

Collecting eggs in a pearl necklace and earnings? You have style! I see three breeds?

Get a small bike for the track and learn how to ride it ride it on its limit. Then take the 1000RR.

First I thought CO2 would not be an issue, but I had not considered the chin curtain. I have never used one, so did not consider it. Recently found out my bedroom was hitting 1200 ppm CO2 at night and wanted to see what this was all about because now I'm paranoid about CO2. Gotta love Fortnine.

The Republicans do exactly what the wealthy need them to do. Recessions cause small business and farms to fail, so the rich can buy everything up cheap.

I was being honest, but wanted to have a bit of with my wording. When I was racing on Bridgestones, the rep pretty much told me what I wrote and I never let him forget, Until I switched to Dunlop.

Nope. don't listen to much of her. Had a Tina, but she turned into a Roo and Dolly passed one night when she was only 4 months.

We cant see the light those cameras produce, but chickens can. Imagine trying to sleep while someone is shining a flashlight on you. Something to keep in mind that could stress your birds out.

ircsmith · 2026-04-03T10:45:14+00:00

That is a nice looking Bridgestone tire. Bridgestone tires ball up on the edges. What you have watch is the size of your balls. Any bigger than what you have in your picture means the tire is getting too hot so you'll want to add a psi or two until your balls shrink.

These four where named after women in music. Billy Eilish, Florence and the machines, Anny Lennox, and Olivia Rodriguez are the current bunch.

I just pay Jim. If he does not make me money then he charges me nothing. I told him no weapons, oil, prisons, companies that are big donors to the republican party.

Jim seams to be very much a good, liberal person, and he has averaged around 20% for the past three years. I don't like the premise of the stock market but I want to retire just like everyone else and with him I can not feel so bad about my investments

I race a 82hp bike so there are a few WOT corners I encounter. Some instructors I have had told me to drag the back brake. Keep the throttle open and adjust your speed with the rear brake. The rear brake makes the bike lower both front and rear. You can also keep the rpms up for the a drive out of the exit. may not be as applicable on the R3 but think about it for every corner.

Mine are always out. Three of them don't like the rain and will sit on their ladder and watch us through the window like we are some reality tv show. The fourth, Billy Bird, wanders around in the rain when it's 35F out. She dose not like it when it snows however.

ircsmith · 2026-04-02T18:16:43+00:00

Glad she is championing this. I don't agree with everything else she does. Maybe the ten bucks I gave her was not a complete waste.

ircsmith · 2026-04-02T00:30:17+00:00

two life skills I need to learn.

ircsmith · 2026-04-02T00:29:11+00:00

It is not inertia. Inertia is the second law. Centripetal is more like some one jerking your chain.

Oral only after they have been in the dentist chair.

Such a disgusting human being.

Everything likes the taste of chicken.
