  1. Only Shoei helmets fit me worth a damn. If I knew that I'd have to wear Shoei helmets to be comfortable, my first bike might have been out of budget. My previous helmet, a Scorpion EXO700 with the stock visor and dark smoke visor didn't fog. Ever. Loved it. The stock clear and Shoei light smoke visor with my new setup fogs terribly. Breathing heavy on a cold Ohio May morning causes fogging. I applied Cat Crap anti-fog, and it doesn't help much. It's harder to fog the visor, but when it does fog, it takes longer for the fog to go away. This sucks - I want something better. The dumb pin-lock system is a hack, I want something that performs equal to or better than the Scorpion visors that I'm coming from. Anti-fog suggestions?
  2. This is a lot less complicated than what people are making it out to be. I wouldn't expect any degreaser to work well for your application. Grease has a tendency to be slippery, and I'd expect brakecrud to made out of non-slippery things. You say that you have water spots on your wheels. Mind you, this will likely be noticed by no other human on the planet but you. Ever. It's part of the HD culture though, so don't sweat it. My suggestion is to use a minimal amount of cleaner that is designed to remove the hardwatercrud that causes the water spots. A dab of CLR or LimeAway ought to do the trick. I'm not a chemical engineer, but I'd immediately rinse and dry any spot of my precious that the CLR touched. Brakedust is a separate issue. It wipes away easily until it pits. Some people have mentioned wheel wax. Because wheel wax is... wax, it has a tendency to soften when exposed to heat, like the type of heat that something bolted to a brake rotor might experience. I think it's reasonable to expect molten wax on a wheel to catch crap like brake dust, so I would just forgo wax and let the hard clearcoat on the wheels do what it's supposed to do - provide a clear and hard protective barrier.
  3. My buddy keeps "falling" for that. Something about logic involving having done a three once, so four's are OK now. He gets tons of ass now. Additional information for your review: http://www.wikihow.com/Get-a-Boyfriend-If-You-Are-Overweight Stay vigilent. R, Your COCKSEC manager.
  4. Another Shoei head here. Putting my Qwest on feels like putting my head in a pillowtop mattress. I wanted a Bell to fit so I could rock the transistions visor, but none of them would.
  5. And oh... I've lurked for a year.
  6. Started riding last year on salvage SV650. Put around 7k miles on it and swapped it for a salvage 05 F4i. Not long ago I picked up a '07 600RR and a '00 Ninja250. Current plan is to start doing track days on the F4i. I really wish i would have kept the SV for this. I picked up a one piece over the winter and have all the other gear. The RR is probably gonna get sold to free up some cashmoney for trackdays etc. Same for the 250. Currently living in West Carrollton.
  7. I used to keep my ammo separated into boxes of bullets, cannisters of powder, jugs of brass, and trays of primers... Just buying it from the factory keeps that hobby more of a hobby and less of a part-time job.
