I've seen that episode before.  The only thing they don't tell you is how much money was spent.

Missed that one - did they say anything about how or what they used to tune it?  Didn't say anything about torque?

The bearing is a concern at those numbers - that bearing is rated @ 100ft lbs of torque - which falls well within the stock parameters - but - not all of us want to ride stockers now do we?

Television producers have done a great job of promoting the whole mecca of motorcycling and let's face it - it holds great entertainment value - but not much fact.  It would be great to have a show that looks at things from the inside out and that covers all aspects of the upgrades and not just the bling.  If there was such a show - would anyone tune in?

As far as Michelle goes - she is always lookin' hot and built to perform - no matter how you look at it.

Id really like to hang around - but I gotta go!

Yes, I gotta admit, Michelle is hot looking, but only when I pause the DVR.  That head bobbin' thing she does looks just like my teenage daughter when she pulls some idiot trick and wants to fight about it...  Makes me laugh and the ole' lady gag!
