    Oh Deer

    You never know when/where they're gonna pop out in front of you. I hadn't seen a single deer in the 7 years we've lived in town, then one night after a family party my cousin's wife tells me to watch out for deer in our neighborhood. I'm like, what? Because this woman lives in Michigan and had never met me, much less been to Piqua Ohio.......so I discredited her warning as BS......until......I was 4 blocks from home and there's 2 does in the middle of the street?!?! She must be clairvoyant

    Finally!

    Nice! I'm sure you'll do fine since it takes a complete botard to fail the ccw classes
  4. yes sir, it's made for fiberglass repairs http://www.plastex.net/index.php?pr=Product_Info
  5. I'd definitely use the mower to tug it, but I'd stand the crate upright and strap the longest 4x4 you've got to the underside of the crate leaving the long end towards the direction you want it to go. drill the long end for a long bolt or pin to hitch it onto the mower, then drag it to the workshop? That way you're only dragging less than 4" wide scrape and it's all the way at the other end so not much of the gravel would get moved aside
  6. I've suggested this stuff before since it does everything from filling in gouges/scratches to rebuilding tabs and seams. http://www.plastex.net/index.php?pr=Home_Page BUT, it's a DIY -- as for shops in your area, I can't recommend any full race body kits aren't severely expensive and may be able to order just the pieces you need. Friend of mine bought a Sharkskinz bodykit for his F3 and was less than $800 total
  7. I have, but just once.......looked like the guy had eaten 6 cabbage burritos too - nasty! Oooh, wait........you mean the bike
  8. Nice detail work - what scale? and did you paint it all?
  9. I try not to even talk on my phone while driving. The paintball idea is good, but make sure to put them in the freezer for 3 days before use
  10. I am lucky to see 4-5k out of a set of tires most seasons. Best results I've had under my bike were the Dunlop Roadsmarts - they wore in evenly, grabbed the corners very well, and took some abuse for quite a while before any obvious wear. I've recently bought a set of Q2's for my trackday/mile wheels that I'm dying to lean on to see how they perform and what they can tolerate
  11. It shows man, and I bet that CBR runs fairly strong too. Gonna leave it blank white or do you have airbrush/decal ideas?
  12. I have never been to IP either but the wife and I plan to stop on our way home from MidO in mid July. Been told by numerous people to plan a 1/2 day or more depending on how much we want to buy. Gonna be a spending spree for sure, but its got to be the best in-house selection you can find where everything can be tried on before buying.
  13. Nice rides and good choice in forums too:D
  14. Like most laws to "protect" the public from itself, its money related one way or another
  15. Congrats! Post up pics when you get it home
  16. You 2 have brought whole 'nuther atmosphere here, I'll bet you guys act like Jen and I with publicly bashing on each other all the time - some of my friends think it's the best show on tv We all need to hang out together sometime and have some good laughs!
  17. Outta rep for you man, but you sure did call that battle - I say thats worth 2 point in the game right there

    No caption

    No doubt, awesome birds for sure. My stepdad was one of the weapon systems engineers for the F-22, he also was lucky enough to do some design work on the F-117 - he knows his shit

    My new whip

    Cool little piece. Take it to the track after you slap a 125cc in it and challenge all the Zuma's running around the pits:D
  20. Pretty sure the tread profile should be relavent to the rim size it's fitted on. If your bike's built for 180's and you squeeze on a 190, then it will surely have more of a curved profile which in turn decreases the footprints width. Not a good idea imo, but if you do run a wider tire maybe take out a couple pounds of air pressure to justify the difference?
  21. Couple sets ago, but I was a little proud about the side pile
