  1. Sweet, wish it was longer though - love the slow mo footage - really shows insight on technique and how hard these guys work the suspension and tires - nice find
  2. There's a squatch in those woods....
  3. I got one in the mail the other day too; however, I did not order it.......gonna have to thank my wife for the "good lookin' outness"
  4. Sometimes its just unreal how stupid people can live in this day and age:nono:
  5. That'll work, we're burnt out of merch so I'll be in touch - Thanx
  6. $2850 OTD - wad it up big like 3 $20's and a fistful of 5's - they should work with that
  7. If your suited weight is over 200# including luggage, the least I'd run is 36-38 - once they heat up, they'll only creep another lb. or 2 in pressure. I run mine at 38 front and rear since me and my gear add up to 300#, tires get good footprint at that pressure and grip feels great in the corners too
  8. Maneuverability is key to learn in the beginning - Find a local empty lot and work the bike in the first couple gears to help get your clutch/brake work to a comfortable level. Once you got a handle on the slow stuff, then try your skills on some backroads - just don't hop onto St. Rt.'s or Interstates TOO soon, riding in a crowd can be daunting for beginner riders. The MSF course is a GREAT idea for learning the basics and licensing, saving $$ on your insurance is just a bonus - I took the advanced course ( 5 hr session ) while my wife took the beginner MSF course at Honda in Troy ( 3 days total for beginner - 1 classday, 2 ride days ) so we both saved some cash that year on our premiums and basically got paid to be there win win So once you get your temps, do some parking lot work to get used to shifting, clutching, braking, etc., then go from there, depends on how quickly you can get into the next course. If you can get in before you get a chance to practice, that's fine - they'll go over EVERYTHING a newb needs to know to ride safely. Good luck man! Oh, one other thing - I'll be in touch for some decals soon, but one question.......are they simply 1 color vinyl or can you print multi-color graphics at all? Let me know, I'm in 2 bands that need new merchandise!
  9. THAT is the largest strap-on I've EVER seen!
  10. Nice ride, definitely get you around faster than that LTD - good leap! I would assume the Euro model would share connections with US, so that instrument clusters prob plug n play
  11. :welcome: North of you here, but I commute to east Huber Heights daily - hope to see you out
  12. No doubt, Primus is a huge name in rock/metal - I like their style and sound, definitely very unique - have fun at the show Casper
  13. Ah, marine grade group 31's are different casing size vs. our grp 31's at work. Was wondering about glassmat or not since we sell those for over $130 each - our lead acid batts are still $80 but at 760cca - I was assuming they were the same case size but these wouldnt work in our batt boxes -- GLWS!
  14. Sweet work on tying the pannier mount to the subframe -- looks to be way more durable than most kit you can buy AND more bullet resistant too - but you may want to crank your spring adjuster down about 3 full turns to compensate the weight:D Are you leaving the handles on the ends of the boxes? Might turn out to be real rattletraps:dunno:
  15. Nice! Building your own functional toy hauler will save an easy $10k - be sweet to rob a shitter/septic setup from an rv to mount in one corner, then just hang a sheet when you need to take a sheet:D
