2) If it goes "rap, rap, rap, rap, tick; about $200
3) A rap, knock, knock is around $500
4) Tick, rap, knock , knock; just change the oil.
5)Tick, tick, tick, knock, rap, grind, thuds are usually about $850 plus parts.
6) Knock, knock, who's there, Tim, Tim who?, Tim and money you don't have fix this fucking thing....grind gronsel, rap, rap, tick, tock, beat the clock, polly waddle doodle all the day? priceless.............

it's an SV. if your throttle cable isn't an inch longer by the end of the race, you're doing it wrong.

[Currently]

SV's don't have throttles, they have on-off switches.

Credit where credit is due, I appropriated that one from Hardcore.

A recent gem.

My favorite PK rant

I repost it at least twice a year on SVRider when the gixxer shock klowns start pushing back.

It is clearly defined by science and mathematics. It follows every known physical law and postulate. Every action can be explained using the basic laws of physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics, and mathematics.

The other only applies to motorcycles and nothing else. It clearly states that motorcycles are exempt from the first set of laws. It is the most simplistic of laws. The size and complexity of a problem and it's solution are directly related to the amount of money some jack ass wants to spend to fix it, and whether or not said jack ass can find some barn yard engineered solution on the internet.

For example: A motorcyclist is traveling West at 35 mph. An oncoming car traveling East at 35 mph turns left in front of the motorcyclist. For simplicity we'll assume both vehicle slow to 20mph at the point of impact. According to the first set of physical laws the motorcycle and car collide with a relative velocity of about 40 mph (again for simplicity we'll say that vehicles collide roughly head on). The resulting force of the impact can be calculated using force vectors and extrapolations of E=MC*2. The result is major structural damage to the motorcycle frame, forks, triple clamps, swing arm, and axles. Cost to repair will be several thousand dollars. How ever, since the rider does not carry collision insurance, the second set of laws must then be applied. The result is the total damage is a clutch lever and some model paint to touch up the bar end. As long as the rider ignores the fact the front wheel is now 15mm closer to the exhaust and is 8mm to the side all will be fine.

Pete, tell the Triumph test ride story


Oh & the rental car story.

No, not that one, the other one.... no, the one with the cop.... no, the other one.... no, the other one....
Aw fuckit, just tell all of em, we've got all winter

[Puppet]

hahaha....the physics laws are great. I hadn't read that one before.

I'm personally a fan of his advice for riding a motard fast at Loudon.

"Chirp it twice and whack the fuckin throttle open! If it chirps three times you're going down"

[Puppet]

oh wait....get him to describe what your first lap at Daytona will be if you've never ridden there. Have to do it in person though...its funnier that way

[Degsy]

"So, Peter, what does it cost to go racing, roughly?"

"Roughly?, open your wallet and start shovelling"

tears of laughter just thinking about those stories....

Q: "Pete, what does the zip-tie on the forks tell you?"

A: "It's telling me you need to man up and start using the fucking brakes".

[BMFR6]

me: why is my tire wearing like this?
pk: cause your being a pussy and not getting on the gas until you are picking the bike up. look at this, you have an inch of new tire on the edges.
me: oh

[gmdboston]

It's so nice to be loved, I'm getting that warm fuzzy feeling. Never mind, my nephew just peed on my lap.

[nt650hawk]

How does it go Pete...

....and a lousy tipper.


Keep e’m coming until someone passes out then ……..




I dare you to bet that Pete can not do something.. Go ahead I dare you.

Might not be a PK original, but it's where I heard it first.
