i road my old cbr 929 from austin,tx to knoxville,tn only stopping for gas food and bathroom. on my rocker im hurting within 30 miles. so if you guys see a rocker go by with the riders feet on passenger pegs and laying on the gas tank thats me . as soon as i lean forward my back pain stops. not sure what else to do except clipons. i over payed for the rocker so no selling it or trading i will loose my ***.

i was thinking about takeing the 48mm to machine shop.

this is my bike i have added the screaming eagle cone filter and rush mufflers to it since the pic.

But I hadn't gotten two houses away before the leg cramps started and I knew I was in trouble. By the time I got around the block, and I went as fast as I dared. I had to circle around in the street till I convinced them I wasn't kidding when I said I couldn't stop without falling down and needed them to 'catch' me and hold the bike up till I could get off the damned thing.
It took both of them (football player sized 25 year olds) to hold me and the bike up while I climbed off.
Your calling it a torture device is about as close to the truth as you could get as far as I'm concerned.
Waterboarding and sleep deprivation aint got Chit on my little Brothers CBR....

Put Khalid Shack Mohamudd on that CBR and tell him to ride from LA to Vegas?

By that greek joint halfway there the fvcker would be spilling his guts and begging for some water and boards!!

Disclaimer: I dont condone torturing fanatical killers unless they plan on killing my people and my folks. My people and my folks are Americans...Hence I have no issues whatsoever extimguishing ciggarettes on eyeballs, kicking in ********, or forcing fairly bad men to ride long distances on CBR600RR's!!
