hah, u guys act like i dont learn from my mistakes. shit thats the ONLY time I learn. after a few tries i guess.

I'm gonna be pretty fresh this rally, i'll be lucky to get in more than 500 miles b4 the actual trip down. which isnt too much different than last year, so needless to say im just gonna be there to enjoy the ride. I'll park myself in front of some ladies and enjoy the view...


the only thing is once i get in the groove all i wanna do is push it, so i just gotta see how well that goes this year.

In the mean time, i should have plenty of shit to bug u guys about i the next few weeks, as i have NO experience working with brakes. I still need to find a new front right caliper, but i just saw a local shop has a pair on ebay, and i've dealt with them a ton so they'll prolly hook me up.

Hey,seriously,NtS ANY help you need with your bike,just let me know. One thing I know how to do is put together a bike after a crash! BTW if you don't have the service manual for your bike,remind me of the year and I'll see if I can download it or at least find it for you for free.

The best part about SWMO is that there is a HUGE riding community and everyone is willing to teach me how to do shit. I'll be putting my pads on in the next two weeks, so I'll probably be a step behind ya.

I ran my diablo rossos 1000 miles to indy and back as soon as I put em on and they hardly squared off at all.

pads are so easy to change. usually dont even need to do any more than just take the caliper off.

Spend 35 bucks and buy a Mityvac...makes working on brakes painless

The guy here who is going to help me with bleeding the brakes was talking about some sore of vacuum for it that he has. Probably the same thing.
