Im Back!!!!...New Computer!!...New Bike!!!

Man...it took a long time for my Dell to get here. I happen to be an AMD fan, but am pleasently surprised at the Pentuim 4 chipset. Also got a used Honda Blackbird to replace my 4 year old VFR. Just had it on the dyno and it turned 145 hp and 84 ft/lbs of tq. BIG difference from my VFR's 92 and 53, respectivly. I cant beileve its 60 out and its Nov. 30th!!!...Excuse me...Im going riding!!!

Congrats X2!

Welcome back & congratulations on both your new "toys"! I bet you won't be on the new computer much as long as the warm weather lasts! Just be careful - it's been really rainy out. Don't want to hear you're all water logged!

Blackend ford...

Hey sharp truck and awesome bike, the picture looks great!

Are those dual pipes you have?? What is it for a setup? Is your spare still in place?? I have a black F150 w/ORP and want dual exhaust but still want my 265/70/17 spare to stay in place.

Man is this weather awesome or what!!!! It actually hit 70 degrees today. Put another 150 miles on my 'Bird today. Thanks Cowlady. I promise to keep the shiny side up. Ive got the Ravin 33 series SI/DO setup. This setup will clear your tire...but not by much. I was actually surprised on how cool the exhuast pipes were by the tire. Id say I have about 2 inches clearance between the pipe and tire on each side. I check it often and the little "****" on the spare are all still there so Im not concerned. There is one other concern though. If you plan on going with Rancho or any other shock with a "bellows" on it, dont bother putting them on the shocks in the rear. The pipe will DEFINATELY melt them. Besides that Im very happy with the Ravin setup. There is a little drone in the cab at certain speeds, but its not bothersome. Let me know how you make out.
