Naw thats the lone star rally, sup sluts is a stunt ride fri-sun, at noon then at night (and in between) Pretty much non stop ridding and eating

This is my video from last years rid, I think this was sat around 2ish

Figured I'd ask this here:

Rode my bike today and immediately felt weird. When going low speeds, the bike felt wobbly and unstable. The steering would tighten up when I'm making a turn and it felt like I needed to fight it to turn where I wanted. Managed to get the bike back to my apartment, but trying to diagnose the problem. Did some research online and it seems to be tire pressure. Unfortunately, the bike is too unstable right now for me to ride to the gas station. Just figured I'd ask if any nt bros had a similar issue.

Yeah check your tire pressure, I'm pretty sure your front tire is flat.

Found the issue:

Newbie psa - check your tire pressure.

I knew something was weird when I realized my kick stand started to drag the floor when I put it down. I figured it was the tire pressure, but kept asking myself how since I pumped it two weeks ago. Took out my gauge to check and it was reading around the proper psi. Decided to buy a new one just to double check and lo and behold, I was riding around 10psi. Pumped it to the proper pressure and the handling was night and day difference. feels like totally different bike.

Full exhaust vs slip on

Full exhaust vs slip on

Slip will give u the look and sound of a great exhaust with little to no Hp added.
Full does the same exact thing but provides actual power. Usually a full is 2-3 x's more expensive. You can also dyno a full and get even more Hp. Dyno'ing a slip is a waste of money.

 

[NewWave90]

OK that settles it for me thanks.

 

[Sneaker P]

Slip-on can also reduce weight compared to stock exhaust.

Full exhaust vs slip on

Also depends on the type of exhaust, bike you're getting it for, and the type of riding you're looking to do.

If you go to the track a lot, you'll want the most power you can get and a full exhaust is ideal. For street riding on certain bikes you won't tell a difference since you're not WOT as often.

Full exhaust let's more air flow through, which is what gives you hp gains.

For my 848 evo, the full exhaust only opened the pipes from 51mm to 54mm throughout the system, which isn't much of a difference so I went with slipons (weren't cheap either way for me lol)

Just depends on what you're looking for!
There are also 3/4 systems out there that are header-back.

Missed most of the fall foliage while I was in the Philippines. A lot of the trees along my usual routes are bare now. :/

 

[NewWave90]

I have an r6 bought it 2 months ago and I feet I've outgrown it. I paid for it so I can't justify to myself spending another 7 or 8k for an r1 so that's the dilemma. @http://niketalk.com/u/89231/bscarrillo427 the jersey streets have missed you.
