Now if you buy into this stage crap, you get to buy the bike twice.
Its a GREAT DEAL FOR THEM, A **** POOR ONE FOR THE UNEDUCATED.
So what kind of piece of junk do you ride?

If you want it to rev quicker throw the 30t primary sprocket on. Big difference, rev like hell. Will need something with clutch done.

Of course anything hillside does will be sweet.

Our 107" Big Bore Kit, and a set of our Stage II heads, and tuned, will turn that into a fun bike!
VERY responsive, big, broad, power.

It helps to have thick skin here.
However everytime I call someone their BS, they call the moderator.
They want a safe circle, a cry closet, and a lollipop
I think that is where that comment might have come from.
No worries and thanks for noticing .

Define it for me would ya?
Is that passive aggressive for " I can get away with it if I label it as such?
Trust me I could careless what you think-as you have shown me your cognitive dendrite abilities are quite limited.
Just because your stuff is wired together out in the pasture with chicken poop, feathers and vice grips, dont be jealous of mine.
Someday you dad will get a job and help you with an education.
You will be able to transform your self into an upright citizen with a few less neanderthal attributes.

wow. Seems like you’re taking it to a new level of insult. Come on man, not sure hotrods comment was that bad. Could be construed as a mild jab or sarcasm. Nonetheless being on an Internet forum and not standing in front of the person slinging the insult is getting old. I’ve been attacked on here before and it’s funny how in real world life nobody says boo. Let’s treat each other like the other person is standing there all jacked up and a little temperamental like me....haaaa. Lighten up all.
