I'll never be a fan of water cooled bikes... but that one is a monster: http://www.triumph.co.uk/uk/263.aspx I have the '01 Bonneville simply under the compromise that my wife doesn't want me to have "old" things:dontknow: and that it's the first time they put an air cooled engine together...

The easy answer is "yes". But it depends on what you're after: Do you want a well developed online community and are willing to pay a fee on top of your ISP rates? Do you want to watch HiDef movies on HD-DVD? Do you like Halo? XBox 360 Do you have an existing PS - PS2 library? Are you...

No wonder I never actually talk to people...:D :p

It works best when combined with a method for getting the fan to kick in sooner. It's all in avoidance of silent knock and heat soak. I haven't done either, because I don't (really) race.:p If you're boosted in any fashion, I would consider it a necessity to make it worth your investment...

I've hit that one in 3rd before, just have to "yee-haw" that one. I wouldn't immediately blame the truck. Most of 680 and all the south bay to central valley ramps suck, no banking at all. Plus, 84 is just suicidal. I stick to 680-580 based on my will to live alone. I lost a co-worker to...

... 'nuff said...:D

The resonators won't kill or calm any backrapping. Consider an "H" or "X" pipe crossover to mellow it down... but why?:dontknow: :p :p :p

Treat the leather with Lexol and the metal with white lithium... No more squeaky.:p

You hit the nail on the head there. The argument that there "should be a mortgage for everyone" is what is killing us right now. Many of these candy loans target people who are unwilling/unable to save money to cover a 20% down and are then too financially unstable to be able to pay a flat...

...and many cars VW is currently producing... including the Rabbit. Apparently the I5 is a good compromise between 4cyl economy & size and I6 smoothness.

Real or not, it's pretty much a useless art project. Each of those turbos is way to big to be beneficial for each cylinder individually. A TT kit would surely make more power and be way easier to maintain.

BTW, You don't really have to remove it to add/change any wiring. I've made some changes and fixed a loose crimp (AC Blower) simply by removing the fender well. Everything is plug-in, color coded, and quite easy to reach.

You bastard! Now I need new pants...

Do any manufacturers make anything with carburetors anymore?:dontknow: Boomer sells an upgrade throttlebody.
