  1. Regardless of the health affects (good or bad) I would much rather have a person that vapes around me than a person that smokes. I can put up with them exhaling something that smells like apple pie or some fruit/berry rather than cigarette smoke that smells like the ashes left behind after a warehouse fire.
  2. Just as a heads up, I'm hoping to do my first track day this year up at the Mid-Ohio racecourse on 5/23. I will have this bike in the bed of the truck if anybody is going to be there and wants to see it. I will have everything with me including paperwork, bring cash and a free trailer spot if your interested in doing a deal.
  3. And the funny part is I carry a Kimber custom shop 1911 as my ccw. It may be pretty but for me it makes a great carry gun.
  4. I think I found a picture of Tonik in his car.
  5. I will admit the fad thing to be annoying. I built my first "Cafe" style bike back in 1994 from a '75 Honda CB750. Crashed it maybe two years later (new rider and all). Second "Cafe" style bike was around 2003 when I picked up a Kawasaki KZ1000 and had it tricked out. Got rid of it in 2008 when I got the Ducati. I like the fact that the Cafe style bikes became popular but it is a double edge sword because there really are more posers than riders in this genre. Other than 2012 when it spent the entire riding season getting rebuilt after hitting a turkey I have ridden the crud out of that poor bike. I've got 26k miles on it and it has been ridden (no not trailered) as far as Georgia and back.
  6. Aaaaand, proving my point from the previous post that nobody likes me..
  7. Here is my idea of Cafe Racer; Modern fuel injected bike with as many custom and one off parts as can be made or afforded, still unreliable as sin. Fat sticky tires and riding to the edges of them at speeds that give most of your riding buddies cause for concern.
  8. By the way this is going I must be the anti-cafe owner. I have the cafe racer style bike but none of the rest of it fits. I don't like coffee or tea, I don't own a single flannel or skinny jeans. Pretty much have the same goatee for the last 20 years and i ride with modern full gear. Shit, maybe this is why nobody likes me.
  9. I would put this one at about average accuracy wise. It will hold better groups than a Makarov or some of the other com-bloc mil-spec guns but isn't up to what I would consider target gun standards.
  10. Well, riding season and car fixing season is among us and there is another unused firearm in my safe that I am willing to part with. Looking to sell a very nicely maintained CZ-52 pistol. $375 This gun is a 1953 Military production gun chambered in the 7.62x25 Tokerov cartridge. The gun is all number matching with the original Bakelite grips. It will come with the two mags and just over 480 rounds of ammo to get you started. Please see the pictures below.
  11. And this is the new accepted norm yet I still get chastised if a double dip a frigging potato chip. WTF is with that. You are willing to eat poo from someones ass but I somehow have the cooties because I didn't get enough onion dip on the first try.
  12. Found out the cost to repaint my car. The gun needs a new home. Price down to $600 with all you see above included.
  13. Tonik needs to expand his horizons a little. I have 2 motorcycles that get trailered everywhere they go. Mainly because neither has lights, plates or tread on the tires. Gotta get them to the track somehow. These little Kendon's are fantastic for stuff like this.
  14. I have the exact same trailer. It's a very nice rig that tows great for a small open trailer.
  15. The weathers getting warmer, just think of all the range time you can have with all that ammo. You could bump that trigger for hours. I looked it up for when I listed it on armslist, gun dates to 1969 if anybody was curious for the age of it.
  16. I'm willing to work a trade deal if you have a 2000-2500watt portable generator to throw in with cash. Need something for track days to run tire warmers and a box fan. I am here to make your dreams come true.
  17. New addition to the fun and a bump. Price still $3000, now comes as a package deal with a spare street-able clean title frame. If you want the frame installed on the bike I can do that for you but the price of the package increases to $3250. You get both frames for the bike either way.
  18. I see what you are seeing with both my vehicles. They both have the aerodynamics of a brick. My truck doesn't change too much as I normally don't cruise much over the speed limit but i have tried your experiment with drastic results. With my Buick I know that at 65ish I can get around 24-25mpg. If I push that up closer to 75-80 my economy drops down to 18mpg. Normally though, dammed the tree huggers and full speed ahead.
  19. Cool, can't wait. I have been there before and enjoyed the food/drinks.
  20. Congrats on the Sprint. I hope you find it as good of a bike as the rest of us Brit owning loonies around here.
  21. Pictures with the sights lifted up and the grenade mounted. Let me know if your interested, guns going on armslist this weekend.
  22. Sorry but I can't think of a single musician I listen to that has head/facial tattoos that look like a drunk frat boy raped them with a sharpie marker while they were passed out. Most tattoo artists are in the same situation. The quality level of whats displayed is more towards art and not just permanent visual graffiti. I am sure, as in most situations, there is an exception to my preconceptions but until I have met that person with the jailhouse full face graffiti that is truly a stand up human I admit I will continue to be biased towards skepticism of their worth to society.
  23. Most people don't read these days. They would always get a small quantity of Jap bikes and Harleys that would show up when they had it in Grandview. Nobody is gonna run you off but it isn't the primary focus of the event. You may be shunned and asked to park on the end away from the other euro bikes though.
