  1. Eh...my uncle has a paint booth in his basement. Colors can be changed.
  2. Univision girls win, hands down.
  3. Porter, bring them back and ask the salesman to use the ring and ball on the stiff spots, and oil them regularly. Much quicker break in.
  4. You are literally the first human to touch any modern mass produced lightbulb...or frozen pizza...or beer can...or cigarette...or most any consumer product.
  5. Fz6, bandit or ex500. The gs500 is a 3 legged dog, and this is coming from a suzuki fan. Buy a grown up bike dude. You know how to ride, you're not a stupid kid, you probably won't try to out ride your abilities. Get something with power you can use for a few seasons.
  6. Get the bandit. It will be much easier to ride on the street than the yzf because it's tuned for midrange power, it's longer than the 250 and will have a lot more room for a big dude like yourself and it will probably never break. I ride a heavily modified bandit 1200 and I love it. At least test ride El bandito before you do anything else.
  7. I've heard those bulbs are junk anyway man. A friend of mine put one in his bike, rode 20 feet and switched back.
  8. I don't want help with my porn addiction. Seriously tho a guy just got fired from where I work a few months ago. He loaded porn onto his work terminal and was beating off right there at his desk. Now that's an addiction.
  9. I have a pair of sliders and they do get swampy after a while but...rather sweat than bleed.
  10. Probably have to get a specialty boot made to handle chemicals...
  11. Seems unlikely...given the length of your average fuel pump and the depth of a gas tank...but I guess anything is possible.
  12. $150 for Redwings usually means you cheaped out. The 2406 is $220 and like I said before, very comfortable and incredibly durable. Gotta spend the money if you want quality.
  13. I'd rather sweat than bleed. I do have some mesh textile pants and a mesh/perforated leather jacket I wear when it gets above 80...but I don't like trusting textile, I've wrecked a couple textile jackets and they disolved fairly quickly even at low speeds. Leather or kevlar has been the most durable so far.
  14. Thst is pretty stupid. Is it part of the gas cap or the tank? I'd be pulling out the dremel....
  15. First off, get some proper riding pants. I have a pair of kevlar - reinforced jeans I've crashed 3 times. Some of the denim is gone but the kevlar is 100% intact. You do not want to burn through a pair of jeans, and it don't take long to do it. That being said, my confidence in my abilities was definitely knocked down after I low sided into a ditch a fee years ago with a bunch of guys from here. I was trying to keep up with the big boys and for most of the ride I was doing really well...but it only takes one. Bald back tire didn't help much, neither did coming into a decreasing radius turn too wide. I have never rode as hard as I did that afternoon. I'm getting close to where I was back then, but I definitely have a mental block now when it comes to really pushing my bike through the twisties.
  16. Stretched it out today and I'm like 95% perfect on my fueling. 3rd gear accidental power wheelies.
  17. My bike is on the stand the entire time. Quit looking up, chicken little.
  18. Welcome to the shit show! I'm in neo, massillon specifically. I'm always down to meet up and ride.
  19. Well that sucks for you. If I don't have my tank bag on I generally don't get off the bike to refuel. Don't see the point. I can swipe my card, fill up and go safely while on the bike. Unfortunately I have my tank bag on the bike almost all the time.
  20. I've never encountered a pump nozzle that didn't stop itself as soon as the level of gas met the tip of the nozzle. When I fuel up I stick it all the way in and set the latch. It pumps till it stops itself, I then have to top up the remaining half gallon slowly while keeping an eye on the level and keeping the tip above the fuel.
