  1. Retarded pricetag, maybe for a box of 10 but not a single AND used damn gubment

    Obama's plan

    Were the 900 gun related deaths including firearm suicides? Kind of vague about it, weren't they? Of course they were.....whatever statistics support their idea

    I've never seen anything like it until you posted the link. I'm finding a few designs have been available overseas for a few years now, but they are expensive for what they are. I'm sure materials quality plays a part in their pricing but for a mechanical device that just uses leverage to operate, it wouldn't be too difficult for an inclined guy to fab one. Here's a couple links to another cool concept and would be cheaper yet to mfg yourself... This one would need an additional leg on the brake side to use spool attachments instead of singlesided setup, but seems an easy enough idea and simple to one-man-show the bike up onto it http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tye0rB5IWRY I'd like this for winter storage, or fore/aft teardowns and similar design to the one above to copycat from. The guy/company seems to make quite a few products for mobile bike storage http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Px9WTvcDdH0

    Some google homework has shown there's an adapter that needs to be installed and is meant to replace the upper engine mounting bolt's nut AFTER you remove it and reinstall the bolt through opposite side? May have just been the particular bike he was using but I'd figured there had to be some sort of retainer to keep the bikes' stationed in place. I would probably attempt a fab job vs buying one. $575 for the stand, $90 for the wheelset, and $150 for the adapter plate.....expensive but sweet idea for a solo man's bike lift. http://www.bursigusa.com/

    That's one trick design and stellar idea, but I'd rather the pins that enter the frame be much longer and maybe even lock-in somehow to keep accidental dismounts to a minimum. But it is a very good idea and looks ultra easy to use. If I were you, I wouldn't be afraid to overbuild it. Post up a build thread too!
  6. http://www.leatherworksinc.com/search-results/?cat=168&man=Honda%20%3E%20Aero%201100 Wasn't sure if your Aero is an 1100 or 750, but a couple Harley guys I know both own these and love 'em - pricey though
  7. Subscribed, interested to read the outcome of their quality. From what I've found they've bought up Detroit Gun Works stock and reselling, but found nothing about when they went into business yet. Website leaves a lot to be desired, very little info. Seems legit but no proof as of yet. Probably fairly new company since there's little to be found about them. Not too hateful of a price, but surely as word spreads they'll become more and more constipated in filling orders
  8. Sorry, I dont have a juicer so we push the easy button from time to time
  9. That's the story to share a lifetime since it only ended in a couple minor flesh wounds. "Yeah, I've got my CCW license.....I got shot while taking the course, but overall I'm glad I went" Guess it was inevitable that something like this would happen with all the classes being attended now days, but damn......it's just funny to hear it happened within a "controlled" environment in the midst of gun safety lessons! Sometimes irony has little boundaries
  10. Thats a nice, clean lookin ride with ultra low miles. I've ridden a friends years ago and it wasn't nearly as racey of a feel compared to the YZF I had at the time, but a beasty fun bike all the same. Have you tried bar risers, drop pegs, or seat cushion options to improve the feel of your 500? Would save you money spent on a different bike now so you can save more towards something you'd really want at a better time to buy
  11. I like the show since it gives us insight to his home life and off the track dealings. He's a good guy and I'd like to visit his shop someday. He is very successful, and being the team owner/operator helps with income instead of just riding and living on contract money. They are a very race oriented family, and making quite an impact with the way they do it all. I would like to see the show host a variety of riders season by season to make the racing even more personal
  12. ???, I've already blown my cover on page 1 kid......yes I'll be 40, but refuse to grow up. I'm aging like old drapes..... stuck in an outdated look smell a little funny the whites are starting to turn yellow and the older I get the more I cost because antiques appreciate in value damnit!
  13. So do you wrench for the team AND work in sales? Just curious. Looks like a fun job for sure
  14. This, and they come with wheels. Or go to Harbor Freight and buy 4 cheap trailer spares. If you want motorcycle sized tires, I have a matched set I'll give you.....they're cooked down but not quite bald. 190/120 17"
  15. Good God this is some of the best ever!! Some of these fellas should write for a living Find of the year Gen3!!!
  16. I had a USA custom Jackson Fusion I sold a couple years ago to buy something a bit more comfortable to beat up, I was scared to thrash it at live shows since it was semi valuable. This body style is just like the Fusion as well, pretty much all Jackson strat style guitars in the 90's used this same body style. Did you add a couple springs to the trem? I dont remember ever seeing more than 3 on free floaters in my 20+ years of playing.....just wondering if it makes a big difference with re-planing the action after a gauge change on the strings to detune? My Ibanez's have always had just 3 on their trems, and I've played RG's from the late 80's models to present.....but these are LowPro Edge version trems and not Floyd Roses or Floyd licensed copies.
  17. I second those props, he's good folk and good deals too
