Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Charlie,

I know Perry! I bought a then new 1981 R100RS from him. He convinced me to let him install the then new Krauser 4 valve heads and piston kit. I had owned it a year or so and since it was my sport touring bike I mentioned it needed more poke. Hence the head swap. Oh yeah, it had plenty of poke for a boxer and it pinged from detonation like crazy! On trips I would keep bottles of octane booster in the tank bag and give the gas tank a shot at every fill up. Still pinged under a big load but not so bad. Perry's recommendation was to run race gas! Right, try finding that in backwoods of Arkansas!

I was informed that my Krauser headed bike was the last to not grenade. Every time one would "let go" Perry would learn something new and call all the owners to bring in their 4 valve bikes to fix the latest "grenade pin". Grew tired of the nonsense, I regretted having the work done. Should have just ported the heads and had the dual plug conversion done. Fed up with it all I filled it full of race gas (there was an old gas station in Carrollton on the east side service road of I-35 that sold it... pretty cool!) and sold it via newspaper ad.

Bought my next BMW from Perry also, he was in his groovy new shop by then. (I think his latest shop is in Hurst... isn't it?) It was the original flying brick, an '85 K100RS. MISTAKE!!! Didn't have it two months and wanted a boxer again! Don't get me started! The 3 cylinder K75 bikes were soooo much better and smoother. Glad they finally have the big bikes working so well. I'm sure Will would agree. waytogo

Missed my old RS so much about 15 years ago I found a used '83 exactly like my '81, stock in good shape, with the solo and dual seats for sale in the paper. Got it and still have it. It's awaiting a "Flight of the Phoenix" make over and return to the road. Maybe someday. Grin This time I'm keeping it stock! Angry

i may have told you before that the bike have there in waiting is one of my all-time favs!

If anyone sees or knows of someone selling a full Termi system (with ECU) for a 2004 999, please let me know   Grin   With Tommy's bike ripping through the countryside the other day sounding like a full-on MotoGP bike, well... my stock,  gazillion pound, wheezy exhaust sounds pretty friggin' lame  bang head   laughingdp

Yep, cruising along... rolling hills, blue skies, miscellaneous livestock dotting the countryside... The sun is shining, the birds are singing.  I am at one with my machine.  Ahhh, the Zen of motorcycling.














ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZing

Holy crap!  Always wondered what it would be like to be buzzed by an F-16  bang head  laughingdp

So yeah.  I REALLY, really need some Termis  Evil

I've got the full Termi system on my 999 and it will never ever sound as good as the under seat/twin pipe systems on the Tamburinis or even the new 1098/848 line. I personally think the air head 2 valvers sound the best of all with any decent aftermarket exhaust. Maybe you haven't heard my 999 in a while but it's not exactly awe inspiring. Better that stock? Sure. But it will not rock your world like other Ducs. At least not to me.

Wait for a killer deal if you decide to do it. There's one out there somewhere. I have seen brand new and slightly used systems on ebay for good deals but it's been a long time and I wasn't looking for that anyway.

Hmmmm  Lips Sealed  That's no good.  I'm tellin' you, that R6 with whatever-the-hell exhaust/motor set up Tommy's got is just beyond words  Shocked  bow down

But I'm not about to pay the 2 grand a 999 "system" would cost new - I check Ebay all the time and I've seen 'em go for half that used.

Such a deal  bang head
