Put a new one up on my house a couple weeks ago.  Last year's flag was in pretty rough shape when i took it down last fall. 

I got some cool ball bearing brackets that completely eliminate twisting/tangling!

Post up photos when you get it back....

Absolutely!

Dropped the pipe at Late Apex Performance Coatings and met Hoblick.

Getting the pipe coated is one less problem to getting my bike ready for the season.

Nice to meet you, Hoblick.

Ever have "one of those days"?

Got the exhaust separated into 3 pieces so I can take 2 of them to get recoated.

Thanks, Tonik.  I left a message at his shop.

Registration online / mail is the way to go.   I renewed my DL in late September and did the 8 year deal too.  Not that it affects many of you yet, but they only do 8 year renewal if you’re under 65.   I made it by a year. 👍

I made the 8 year deal by a year too!  My wife and I went together to renew our DLs and she was only able to get 4 years.  I had to bite my tongue to avoid commenting out loud...

I'd be happy to scare the shit out of myself on your barn burner. You're welcome to ride my Bavarian creme puff. 

But I'm not a Starbucks guy...

Well, next time start with that so idiots like me know to stay in our lane.

 

No problem!  It's still stupid for me to keep spending money on this 21 year old bike that nobody loves but me.

If we ever get the chance, you have to take it for a ride so you can see what I made out of a cheap, naked, standard.

I wasn't disparaging the 1200 Bandit. I was saying throwing beauty money at a stock header pipe might not be a worthwhile endeavor. 

It's not a stock pipe, It's a handmade, Dale Walker's Holeshot stepped header with highmount.  It was originally (18 years ago) satin silver ceramic coated which has held up extremely well.

And nobody has ever accused me of making wise choices spending money on this.  I probably have close to $20k in this bike that I probably couldn't sell for $3k!  🙄

Registration by mail?

I went in October to get the new fancy drivers license. In and out real quick with no problems.

Yep, and they let me pay for 8 years.

Sure, but it's a naked streetbike. 

It's MY 21 year-old naked streetbike.  If it wasn't naked, I'd say, "Fuck it" and shoot it with flat black gas grill paint and hide it behind the plastics.

I found out that Performance Powdercoating in Cols does a 2000 deg F satin silver ceramic.  Their price is about half of Jet Hot's and I won't have to ship.

Any feedback on these guys?
