Crusty raises a valid point. by substituting one for the other, it widens the array exponentially.
Norcal, on the other hand, raises an argument that cannot be discounted. Time and time again I find myself faced with this puzzle in my daily life.
I have experimented with the natural oils(as described in another thread). But in this application, I cannot say I have come to the same conclusion. So the experiment continued.
The logical next step, as you all know already, was street grade methamphetamines.
One must be careful while in this vein, no?

How can you bring up skeletons at a time like this?
Listen. The felt on a pool table has to be exactly the same thickness across the surface, right?
RIGHT?!

To be completely fair, I must remove myself from this discussion and rest. I will return when I have a fresh point of view.

Whew! and here I thought I was going to have to send in the Calvary to save said 5th gens dialectics. I heard the weight savings on a 520 conversion will speed up the slick 50 compound as to make the syncing of the FI go smoother, making all 4th gens the better choice.

I disagree, the plumeage on the ostrich DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT look as fancy as the plumeage on the no extinct dodo bird wich by the way was run out of existance when the spaniards landed on the south american continents...but I digress. the colors that the two have don't even stand up next to the turkey.......

I'm sick of this, Its obvious people that a simple statistical model using the Planck-Boorman method will pick up all outliers and avoid us having to just " pick a winner'.....
OBVIOUS......

Without the data firmly in hand, it's impossible to convince midgets to sync your carbs, much less convince them to wear the proper gear

I'd stake Drewl's reputaton on it, and I feel Norcal fully supports our decision.......now I too must rest

I'll post the proper link when I feel the time has come to do so. And of course I apologize if my tone seems harsh, I'm just trying to state the facts here,

RealNew, your wife, sir, is a keeper.

Now where was I? OH, right. So I said, WTF!(well I didn't say just those three letters, but actually said the words they currently stand for. In the interest of cleanliness and in the interest of time, I shortened it to the acronym) So I said WTF! You just threw a bottle of nitro at my feet! You know that could have killed me right?
Bonehead says, "It is not the kind that blows up, duh."
I said, "No but it is the liquid kind that soaks through skin and there is 500 cc of it there. Don't you think 500 cc of nitro is enough to cause a PERMANENT drop in blood pressure?!"

Hey, maybe we could use liquid nitro in our bikes. The combustion would be astronomical.
Your thoughts?

I know it is difficult to get on the same page, when the pages are so heavily involved in the subject matter contained within. After having glanced through some of the material I was surprised to see that the VFR came with the model name of ninja. I am familiar with CBVFRR, but what is the cut and paste parts combination that creates the ninja? Do you have a website or some photos I could look at? BTW it's easier to check air pressure in your tires if you install a second valve stem.

Air? that is for the valves so they van operate in an environment that's consistent with Ducatis use of the term desmodromic redline, don't confuse this with slick50s competitor which has nothing to do with Norcals post count ;) but more in line on how RW acts out when a good line was taken.

I am afraid, RVFR, you may be missing the point. NCB's post count is not at issue here.
What IS at issue...what is AT issue...WHAT is at issue...what is at ISSUE?

Wait wait wait. Take a step back. Big picture stuff.

You sure are absolutely correct my friend. but please do not think you are right. it's my post count. someone needs to keep this thread going.. might as well be you. as for as Issues, What are Issues? or is that ISSUES!

the wear pattern of the front tire also indicates that the post count is set too low. this can be adjusted by changing the shim stack with shims from a superhawk, however the vespa shims are better but much harder to find without the vespa shim finder kit. These kits used to readily availble but they are now harder to find.

I do not feel that quoting one's self is entirely appropriate at this juncture.
Can we kindly refrain from talking politics?

Anyone can see that your argument has merit, unless of course youre arguing that it doesnt

The argument is never "does" or "does not", yet the argument is always "if".

If by "if " you mean what I said earlier, it is of course possible that that is not what I said, so to speak. But that goes without saying

PM sent this am, thus making it an am pm. If you wait an hour I'll send you a pm pm or a pm pm.

I could also send you an email with the details or a detail email.
