mello dude

oops- thinking CA is west - yah east. Brainfart of the moment.

---Oh how I hate the do gooder idiot CA politicians, what starts out there eventually drifts west. Assholes!

I used to be nutz on Vee Dubs. Had several but the best 2 were - I had a tricked out Super Beetle with Weber carbs, a wild cam and headers, and the thing was lowered with stiffer shocks. I could whip that thing around in circles and in the rain I would throw it sideways. I ran gymkana' s with it. - The other Vee Dub was a karma ghia convertible. The back window on the thing was hinged on the bottom and would fold down. Me and a buddy used to kill cans of Bud and whip the emptys out the back window. I'm amazed we never got arrested.

Obama was a half term congressmen and inexperienced too.

All the blow hards are either far left or far right. Its kinda difficult for moderates to stand up and go - hell yeah, we are in the center! Whee! Ha ha! Kinda hard to generate excitement about that.

If the 2012 presidential election ticket is Obama vs Palin, I'm gonna barf. Palin is a one term small town mayor and a half term governor, and nothing but a blow hard. She is less experienced than Obama. What does she know about the ecomomy, foreign policy, military and fighting a war in Afghanistan? Zero, nada, Zilch. Palin as potus scares the hell outta me. btw - l lean right too.

I admit to being a VFR crazy - but this guy has built a kit thats sick! http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/62726-aa-performance-6th-gen-supercharger-kits/

Super skillz - looks fun - I like the big ass hand brake lever sticking up in the middle of the car.

I think Honda took their marketing guys and designers, stuck 'em on an island hotel, fed 'em lots of tequila and canabis, made them watch the cartoon channel for 12 hours a day, and told them "Dont come out until you have a new design for non-motorcyclists!" Holy crap, WTF was Honda thinking?

I think Dennis Kirk sells replacement parts for that.

Ditto to that - I call it the Californication of America. Lots of bleeding heart idiots looking for a handout. Only there could they build a 500 million dollar Taj Mahal public school in the dead middle of the crappy part of L.A, and then issues California bonds to pay for it. Guess what CA still has to pay that money that they dont have. What are they going to do raise taxes? The state is the worst fiscally in the nation. Too many of them can't fathom a logical argument and think way too simular to this freak of a dumbshit chick... (think Pelosi) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taUJthfnWfs&feature=related

I think the Nick Ienatsch book is the best sport riding book out there. If you dont have it grab a copy.

Ditto! Hey thanks for showing this. I'm taking a piece of 1/8 steel strap from Lowe's, drill a couple holes, bolt one end to the strap and the other to the steel arm that hooks to the door. No way a coat hanger will get that..

Look at VFR800s - simular to your old KAT but twice the bike. I dont know how much you want to spend but you can find even new ones (6th gens) at a good discount.

+1 - double yup me too... bad beer = headache + some nasty consequences on the other end...... :eek: :eek:

That Husky looks fun!

I'll throw out some tidbits and thoughts for you - In my past life I was an automotive engineer and have some familiarity on plastics processes. -If you are talking about some molds, It would take someone with CAD experience to sit down and spend time on designing a functional mold. It would be made out of some kind of tool steel. - Lots of bucks. -- High 5 figures, maybe low 6 - Then the above mould would require a large press sized for the mold - more bucks. - If you were going to do body panels with a fiberglass impegnated resign, there is a style of that material used called "sheet molding compound: or SMC. It a big square of material to what ever size you would want, say the size of a top of a desk. You would set this flat sheet into a female mold and then mate up the male mold to it. Again it takes a big ass press to apply heat and pressure. - Plastic and paper garbage such as bottles, newpapers and other stuff are sold from the recyling centers to plastics vendors and they in turn sell that to big plastics makers. The major raw plastic makers in turn then add the recycle scrap to virgin plastic. So this blended raw material ends up in lots and lots of consumer products. (We bought a lot of it to use in auto instrument panels.) - In a utopia world, there would be enough recyled plastic material to use for all the new products that eveybody wants and needs. The fact is there just isnt enuff recycled plastic for all the new products that business want to make and people want to buy. So new raw plastic needs to be made. - Is this crazy? SMC is good for relatively simple curved shapes. Would it be good for a MC body panels? m'be - but I really doubt it would match the quality of OEM body panels. Fibreglas with recycled plastic bags and newpapers? That's probly not a good material for body stuff. (The aftermarket mc body panel industry is probly using some kind of spray lay up process I am not familiar with.) -(my experience is with product run in the tens of thousands.) ------Just my 2 cents, this is just stuff I picked up in working in production engineering (for way too long) -- Anybody else in the business , please chime in.

Where?

That is a seriously cool RZ350. I would love to have one.

Seat looks newish, so $200 is a fair price. - I'm on my 3rd one -no complaints (3 different bikes) - I've done 1800 miles on one, a multiday trip. Probly buy another for whatever next bike I try. There are other good ways to go, but I'm a creature of habit.

6th gen forks are 43mm and SH are 41mm. - wont fit....

Wow, what a vid.... car lust to the max.......

Video the pin pulling....

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right.... lol
