Okay, Don't Laugh...

I found an old TL-R in my garage recently and I'm seriously considering tossing a leg over it and going SOMEWHERE to get some lunch...

Cheryl & the kids took off for the day and I'm thinking I should be taking some time off from the firewood today...

You still have a bike? Will you still remember how to ride it?

I'm guessing it's mine. I dunno, I found it a coupla weeks ago in my garage. Figured I'd give it a whirl...

[The Snowman]

I say go for it. You just may like riding again.

[DynoTune]

If its blue...it could be mine....I lost mine a while ago....not sure where I left it

Thats a nice find, although i wouldnt reccomend that big of a bike to a new rider

[The Snowman]

OK, I'll say it . . .

You'll NEVER use all that power!

[DynoTune]

Hell, I have a 250 and dont use all its power/capability.... it does have 70hp but still, you need to be an awsome rider to use a big bike power

[Stoneman]

Ya whores! Ended up doing a nice, short little 100+ mile run yesterday. Actually kinda sucks though, that's half my mileage for the year!

[FireboltEric_MA]

Careful, I hear riding is addictive. You may want to go out again if this keeps up.

It was a great day to be out!

[Stoneman]

Funny thing though: The TL-R sounds really funny, kinda like a Harley but not quite as loud. Is something wrong? How can I get it to sound like my old RF or Gixxer? Can I just swap out the exhaust?

[Omahastylin16]

pull one of the plugs, thatll change the sound and make it safer for a noooooob, two birds with one stone

[Slyder]

I wish I could find an 1198S or RSV4 sitting in the hanger next to my bike. That would be sweet

So if your bike sounds like a Hardley, it could be your exhaust. I'd check the muffler bearing adjuster, but it's a Jap bike so make sure you adjust it with a metric crescent wrench, not a standard crescent wrench....you'll strip the adjuster. If you don't have one you could always send Big Shirl to the hardware store to get one...but then again I never made it to Stone-Stock back in the Suzuki-L days so I never met her, that name alone makes it sound like she could kick some ass...you might get your ass kicked when she gets home after trying to buy one

that's 98+ more miles than that bike got last year

No shit, huh??? I think beet should let Frankentaint use the TL-S for a weekend...

[beet]

any fucking time franks got a nice ass

[Crash Dummy Denno]

if the bike has a large star of david sticker on the windshield, its your bike

[ThisBitch]

I took my bike out for the first time since October on Friday and I damn near forgot how to ride. I'm so pissed at myself for riding as little as I have since I moved.

[Stoneman]

Okay. So I went down and got a 4-into-1 D&D for it, but I can't figure out how to install it. This sucks! It's only got TWO exhaust ports on the engine and they're on opposite ends of the engine - one fore, one aft. This makes NO sense to me Can someone PLEASE come up and help me mount the new exhaust ASAP? I can take any day off this week and can make time this weekend. I just want it to sound like a normal sportbike, I can't stand that thumping sound!
