  1. I tried full face helmets, didn't like them either. Don't seem to have problems with bugs with a 3/4 either, but maybe the windshield helps with that. I went through a shit ton of glasses, both cheap and expensive and found that the Global Vision Envy Kit works for me. They can be glasses, goggles, with foam or without. Only 40 bucks too. I bought a similar pair in clear for night as well. Iron Pony has them-- http://www.ironpony.com/ironponydirect/product.asp/ImageName/ENVYKIT.jpg/Kitkey2/ENVY%20KIT/Brand/GLOBAL%20VISION/Class2/Goggles%20and%20Eyewear/Class3/Sunglasses/Class1/STREET%20PRODUCTS
  2. I'm not familiar with it. We have some reflective material, but it doesn't behave like what you are describing. It is black(well, more like a dark muddy brown) during the day and reflects at night, but I would by no means consider it stylish. It is more for street signs and stuff.
  3. I think most, if not all, of this list is BS. I highly doubt train conductors cut off toes, I know jeans were created before jean shorts, and I'm sure most of the other facts can be proven wrong. I think this is just a site to prove that people will believe anything.
  4. I'll be there, but I have no idea what to bring. I'm a social idiot and my wife usually handles stuff like this, but she's out of town. If someone could let me know what is needed, I'll bring it. Thanks!
  5. I totally forgot to make the green stickers. Sorry! I was slammed today. I'll get them for you and take them to QSL this week or next.

  6. Yes, each Fastsigns is independently owned.
  7. We do not do wraps at our shop, sorry. The amount of work that goes into them make them tough to be profitable. There are a few places in Plain City that specialize in wraps, not sure if they can do a bike though.
  8. We'll start passing them out in place of the Ohio Riders decals.
  9. Nah, you're probably better off buying one of the kits. They already have all the specs for different bikes, and can probably do them cheaper than what we can. That will be the thing; I'm not going to bullshit you about doing a project; if someone else can do it better or cheaper, I'll let you know. The owner did a donation as more as a favor to me than to draw business, but if I can help him out, I will. We'll stick with doing custom work like simple graphics and flames and such. Before I got my bike painted, I had a sweet tribal bat on my tank. We'll do stuff like that.
  10. I'll cut a few green ones and bring them Saturday. Do you need me to make a mini one for the bike in your avatar?
  11. Hi, I am a member here(Artmageddon) and I work at Fastsigns. The owner was more than happy to help out the group with the decals. If anyone has any say in the sign buying decisions at their job, please check us out. If you have any general sign concerns, please contact the store directly and work with one of the customer service reps. FOR MOTORCYCLE GRAPHICS!!!! Please PM me and work with me direct. I am the graphic designer for the shop, and I will work you on a personal basis off the clock if you are looking for graphics for your bike. I know you want your bike to look good, and I will be able to devote more time to working on it on our free time. We ca figure out a good design, I'll create the artwork(most things would be free unless they are really complicated), and then you can purchase the graphics from Fastsigns. Two things to keep in mind- This will be cut vinyl, which means basic shapes and designs(one color or two flames or tribal will be about as complicated as it will get). It you are looking for something with full color graphics, you would be better to use a painter like Reimbrandt. I WILL NOT reproduce logos that are not your company. Logos are copyrighted and as a designer, I count on these laws to protect my own work. If you need logos reproduced, you will need to go to an authorized reseller such as the dealer. PM if you have any questions. Thanks! Artmageddon (Art)
  12. I see references to Vonnegut all over pop culture. Very few people have anything original to say these days.
  13. Cat's Cradle, it's in there a bunch of times.
  14. JK bro, the opportunity just presented itself. From what I've seen, we think too much alike for you to be an asshole.
  15. I thought I was being funny with a good insult for Nick, but I end being the tool because no one knows what the fuck I'm talking about. Doesn't anyone read? It's Kurt Vonnegut's drawing of an asshole.
  16. Anyone? Rep for who gets it. Hint: it's literary.
  17. I did freelance photography for several years and I had big long message about this, but I hit back and lost it so fuck it. Basically it said the photographer is a tool, not because of his business model, but because of his attitude. Anyone that has to mention he got an MBA in every conversation is a douche. That doesn't impress me, good photos do if you are a photographer. His model is similiar to a wedding photographer, you agree to pay for what you get no matter what. Do I agree with it in this situation, no. He should probably go with the amusement park route, take a bunch pics, display them, and people will buy them. Not too many people hire a photographer ahead of time, just in case they do something cool. The only people that do shit like that are those skanks from "The Hills" or something. I haven't looked at his photos so I can't judge his work. My impression is that he thinks he is way better than he is, and overcharges. The OP had every right to negotiate, but at the same time the photographer has his right not to budge. About anyone being able to take good pictures, well, that is wrong. Sure, buying a good digital camera will help you get some good snapshots, but that doesn't make you a pro. It's the same as if you soup an Acura; that doesn't make yo ready for NASCAR. While the photos are good, there are many technical things that I see can be improved. I'm not a sports photographer, but there are also techniques like panning, etc., that would really make the images pop. Not saying only a pro can do this, but they are more like to know how and get better results. Good gear can produce great images, but know how is way more important. Saying that anyone can be a photographer just because they have an SLR is like saying anyone can be a mechanic just because they have a ton of tools.
  18. The more I see these naked SV's, the more I want one. I might have to get a second bike.
  19. Is this the star under your helmet? I'm curious to see how many people know what this is. BTW, Nice gear, I'm not usually one for a bunch of graphics on helmets, but I like that one. I think part of the fun of owning a motorcycle is all the goodies that come along with it.
  20. I've had some good luck with Cat Crap anti-fog, not 100% reliable, but does a decent job. Iron Pony sells it.
  21. Eva Longoria would be way hotter if she was mute.
  22. Creative + Art Designer, commercial and industrial, frame shop Art Director, sign maker Copywriter, art supply manufacturer Print Shop Specialist, fine art reproduction maker Exhibit Designer, bobblehead doll maker I work as a graphic designer in a sign shop now. I can assure you, it is not my dream job, but I'm decently happy and it pays decent. maybe I should apply to bobblehead company, that seems like it would be where the money is at.
  23. I believe you, but I have my chain and hitch if you get stuck.
  24. + 1 I grew up learning to drive in the snow in Eastern Ohio/ WV Panhandle, where there are roads in the hills that make your butthole pucker at times. I have great faith in my snow driving skills, but I'll take 4WD over rear wheel every time.
