    cermakrome

    Are there any powder coaters in central Ohio who apply cermakrome? Thanks!
  2. Riding east of Columbus?
  3. "Poor people buy everything twice." Quality costs more but it lasts longer. Keep this old saying in mind when you shop at Harbor Freight. Try usaweld.com you can order MIG and TIG training videos from them and see which system is right for what you want to do. Here is a Popular Mechanics article on some Hobart welders. Check out the Hobart site here.

    where to go?

    Go to Stations Inn, North Carolina. It's right on the Blue Ridge Parkway. From there you can head south a hundred miles to the Dragon (no need to) or north to Marlinton and WV16. You get there by taking 23 South and turning left just before you get to the Tennessee line or you can take 10 across WV which will kick your rear. http://stationsinn.com/index-a.html
  5. Chance of a lifetime! Don't miss this air show. There will be over 100 P-51 Mustangs there! 1650 cubic inch V12 motors putting out 1695HP. 437MPH. One of the best fighters of WW2. 15,000 made, less than 300 left. Chances are that we will never see this many of these historic airplanes together again.
  6. Incorrect tire pressure? Yes. Over inflated? No Under inflated? Yes Dunlop has a lot of information on site. Check out the FAQ and the info center I am led to believe that I should be running higher pressure than normal because I am a lot bigger than normal. (Like riding 2 up all of the time.) It's new tires for me and a pressure check every day. Thanks for the input. Of the boards I have posted this on this is the only one where some members were astute enough to present reasonable explanations.
  7. Checked a BMW with the same tires here at work today. Same wear but to a far lesser degree (and many more miles on them.) I may be a bit lazy about keeping on top of my air pressure but this guy is an engineer and motorcycle instructor for the state. I suspect that I am the major cause of this problem but the Metzlers may have played there part too.

  9. I'll try to repost the pictures somewhere else. The tires are scalloped on both sides. A lot of rubber is scrapped off. The center is the high point, the transition is jagged all the way around. Easy to see and, easy to feel with your finger. Looks more like I was always leaning over and never upright.
  10. 3 months old, 4800 miles. Look at this picture of the front. No odd camera angles or lighting, that is the way they look, front and rear. I believe it is called scalloping.

    Not interested in the bar myself. Just have to get back to Clark's sometime. Always a brace of Harley's sitting across the street at the bar.

    Clark's is a genuine road house, the kind Alton Brown would stop at on 'Feasting on Asphalt'. Biker bar right across the street too.
