I think I'll stick with NA for this Z. I say that now, but once I see you step away from me, I may say "I want one!!!! ".
It'll be the next thing I do.

Edit: Starting to read up on clutches. Looks like South Bend or JWT have a more durable (slightly heavier) clutch/flywheel offering for FI cars.

What kind of bike do you ride, mountain or road? I'm thinking a out getting a recumbent and selling my Santana tandem and my Marin racing bike.

Did a test fitment of my new setup today to make sure I had plenty of clearance with the brakes. Can't wait to have them on.

Negative. Didn't even realize it was down til I got home. Good sized chunk of glass found it's way into my tire.

I own a Specialized Sirrus Sport. Nothing fancy, but it does me well...

Yeah man, it was a great day!

Crazy thing on my way home tonight; while on 495 just after getting off 95, I changed lanes from behind someone in the fast lane doing like 70 and gave it a little push just to kinda get ahead of some traffic but very quickly dropped back down to 70...when suddenly I see a car FLY up behind me - had to be doing a good 90. The car gets right on my ***, and I figured to myself, maybe this person thought I was going to really take off. Well, they probably did - suddenly I got the spotlight! I was like..oh ****...but I just kept driving along because no lights. When there was a break to the right, MDST move to the right and takes off then takes the next exit. **** was wild...
