Is the battery tunnel gonna get flooded?

[jorgecornet]

@NorthWestRegionRep nope...haha a little late but nope...

[koorider]

Heh yeah the EZ pass isnt too reliable when its in your jacket. I always got stuck there like you had to wait for an officer or something

I over heated on my cbr 600 in that tunnel.

[jorgecornet]

@s4blues so what happened., did you never make it through? or you had to get towed?

[s4blues]

@jorgecornet well, there was traffic, so I just walked it out the tunnel. Once I got through to the other side I let it sit for 15 minutes. Everything ok after that.

[jorgecornet]

@s4blues man that is crazy...where you going slow in the tunnel? or was it just that you got hot in there? i tend to go about 70-80 in there now..wanna go for a ride?

[s4blues]

@jorgecornet I live in Northern NJ. At the time I was dating a girl that lived in Bay Ridge. I remember is being extremely hot that day, like 95 degrees. that plus traffic and the bike over heated. lucky there's a temp gauge on cbr's.

Let it rip! That car that went before you at the beginning is long gone lol. Nice bike btw ;)

[jorgecornet]

@GsxR750Speedemon

yea i was still learning to ride this bike...i do about 80-90 in the tunnell now...

[davperang]

that's a looong tunnel, cool that you changed the little ninja, your bike sounds awesome btw,

[jorgecornet]

@davperang yes it is...and it also depends what side i enter...some times they close the right side and they split the left tunnel in half but for some reason that feels longer..

Jorge . . dont fear the throttle, its your friend *eveil grin* =D

[CaddyNinja250]

Dude, i dont know your situation but tunnels with a car, especialy long tunnels like that = windows up in car because of carbon deoxide, no much air in there. I dont know though, just something people i know do and i do myself. but i dont know if im right on the dangers you know?

[JOHNDEEBANK]

Very nice ride. I felt  like was riding.
