    Stock GSXR 600 Dyno (graph and video inside)

    I went to a great dyno day put on by DynoSolutions here in CT and got three pulls for $30. We had quite a few bikes there and I wanted a baseline for mine on a Dynojet, so I joined in the fun. It's a stock 2007 GSXR 600. The bike put down exactly what I and the dyno owner thought it would...

    How many mods does it take to run 10's on a 600?

    Apparently none. :banana: Bike is a bone stock 2007 GSXR 600 and I weigh about 185 with gear (160 stripped). No strapping, stretching, lowering, etc. Little less than half a tank of gas and tires at the same 35-36 psi warm I run em on the street. Went 10.9 three times and also trapped 127...

    10's on a bone stock 600? Check.

    Got some good air yesterday so I decided to head up to LVD on my bone stock 2007 GSXR 600 and see what would happen. No strapping, no stretching, no lowering, no mods, no tricks. I weigh ~185 in full gear. Best pass of the day (+511 DA on this pass): Also backed it up with two more...

    Holy hell! If you live with your girlfriend, add her to your insurance!

    EDIT: ONLY DO SO IF YOU TRUST HER TO NOT GET A CRAP LOAD OF TICKETS AND GET IN AN ACCIDENT! :lol1: I have insurance through Progressive and was on my own policy for my daily driver. My girlfriend was also on her own policy with Geico for her daily driver. Mine cost me $553 every six months...

    2009 CTS-V vs 2002 C5 Z06: stock vs stock

    A few of us were hangin out the other night including my buddy who just picked up a stock 2009 CTS-V auto. While we were talking, we noticed this C5 Z06 kept driving by. I hadn't been for a ride in the V yet and the Z06 sounded pretty stock, so we decided to go see if we could get a run in...

    Advice needed on warranty issue with daily driver

    Sorry for the long post and not a Ford so flame on if you must, but I'm not quite sure how to deal with this situation at this point. I bought a brand new 2009 Honda Fit Sport for daily commuting and band stuff back in July 2009. Since I got it it's always made this strange clunking noise in...

    My girlfriend and I are taking a long weekend off in September and wanna go on a short trip to get out of CT for a few days. We're gonna leave on a Thursday morning and come back on Monday night, so we basically get to enjoy the full weekend wherever we go. The big question is WHERE to go! -...

    If you could have a do-over with your education and career path...

    I've heard a lot of people (including myself) talk about how they would handle their education and career path differently if they had the opportunity. Some are even at the point of doing so now, regardless of where they are in life. Whether it's because of the economy or some other reason, it...

    Do you ever get the urge to just pick up and move far away?

    I'm 27 years old and I've lived in Connecticut all my life with the exception of four years in Boston when I was in college (summers were back in CT as it was only a two hour drive). Aside from that, the biggest "move" I've ever made was from the town I was born in to the town next door in...

    Eating small meals throughout the day

    All I read about in health and nutrition articles and all I hear from people I know who are personal trainers or similar is that it is better for you to eat about six small meals throughout the day rather than what I used to eat (small or no breakfast, good sized lunch, good sized dinner, maybe...

    Just moved into my first place

    Not really a point to this thread other than me being excited about the move! I had been renting my parents' house with two of my brothers for a few years since graduating from college (they spend most of the year in Florida), but in April they decided to come home early and put the house up...

    My birthday's coming up and I wanted to go somewhere with my girlfriend for the weekend of July 1st since we have a 3-day weekend. We were gonna do Boston since it's my home away from home, but she suggested Montreal since I like going new places and she's been a few times and loves it there...

    Badass pics of me at the track

    I went to a couple track days the week before last with the Gixxer and there was a pro photographer there snapping photos. Just received them from him today so I thought I'd share. They came out pretty badass if you ask me. :-D

    A positive relationship thread for once! I'm floating on Cloud 9 here

    LONG POST!!!!!! Here's one for the female base of SVTP to enjoy :lol1:. If you don't like reading about people's sappy relationships then you should probably just skip over this long thread. But with all of the negative "Need relationship advice" and "Getting divorced" and "Girl's cheating on...

    God stopped by some Jesus people at the mall (long post)

    EDIT: title should say "Got" obviously, but it reads pretty damn funny. Lol I was at the mall last night with my girlfriend since we both needed some new work clothes, and as I was heading over to meet her at the store she was in, a guy and girl around my age politely stopped and asked me a...

    Just booked a trip to Cancun for May!!!!

    I'm pumped and wanted to share! My girlfriend and I will be staying at Riu Palace Las Americas (all-inclusive). Never been to Cancun and never been to an all-inclusive like this, but I'm not particularly picky when it comes to vacations so I'm sure it'll be more than nice enough for me. She's...

    Just received my new Verizon iPhone!!!

    I had it shipped to work since no one was home to sign for it and I'm setting it up now. I know this isn't much of a thread but I'm extremely excited so I wanted to share. Coming from a three year old Env2 with nothing but 450 minutes and 500 text messages, this upgrade is so far beyond...

    Anyone else ENJOY doing their taxes?

    It's that time of year when I get anxious awaiting my tax return documents in the mail so I can sit down and get started on filing my return. While I hate waiting for the documents, I love crunching the numbers and filling out the forms. Most people grumble and whine non-stop when tax time...

    Do you have a retirement plan in place?

    Having started my new job this week, I've spent a lot of time lately putting together a budget and doing out possible financial plans to see what my best options are for ridding myself of remaining debt and enjoying my life while still saving/investing enough for retirement (I'm currently 26...

    Got a new job!

    Might be a long story but I'm very excited about the new opportunity so I wanted to share. When I graduated from college in 2006, I needed a job to cover the bills while I pursued some musical endeavors I was interested in, so I found employment at a company 10 minutes down the road from my...

    To stay at home or move out?

    This will probably be long because I want you to have all the facts (just a heads up). The Job Situation I have a potential job offer coming up from the company I currently work at part-time and it could be one of those "life-changing" events for me. I'm 26 years old and have worked here...

    NYC hotels???

    I go to the city once in a while but I've never stayed overnight before. I usually just play my gig and drive home or spend an afternoon there. My girlfriend's birthday is coming up in a month, though, and she really wants to spend a night there. We're gonna go down Saturday November 20th in...
