  1. I need to get my ass out to your parties sometime. my brother showed up but I was painting my bike.
  2. if anyone local to cincinnati needs a paint job. I can paint for you $275. two colors $300
  3. I also made these, and painted them for someone local. I think he will like them. and he got a deal..$375. my stuff. a little too much orange peel. but it can be sanded away. this tank was tough to spray because of the bodylines and getting over spray on them. on the bike, before the white stripe that I added this weekend. I just wanted to break up the blue. I will be adding more white parts to the upper faring maybe next weekend.
  4. yeah, they are idiots for sure. but it was a good example of doing it for real.
  5. that's just a show for the camera. he isn't actually doing it right anyway. watch real racers..they slide it up to almost the apex on purpose sometimes. not that far out before the corner entrance. these are much better examples of how it's done... http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoID=690575076
  6. the rider did, he was passing a school bus. and met the car head on. the school bus driver was a witness.
  7. more like, pay attention, pay attention..

  9. both of my parents quit cold turkey when my dad had a heart attack when he was only 35... my mom started again about 20 years later for about 2 years and quit cold turkey again. and hasn't touched one in 7or so years. my dad hasn't smoked since. I have never liked cigs. my brother used to complain how they stunk when my mom started again..but now he smokes and is seriously addicted. he drives 20+ miles just to go get some in kentucky at a discount. but complains about driving that far to work???? seriously? damn shit is like crack..will do anything for a fix...
  10. not a quote, it's what I've been paying for a few years. it started out @ $110.
  11. it's hilarious to observe someone that is craving a cig..they get all kinds of pissy like a chick on the rag. then it makes you realize what kind of hold they have on some people. it's as bad as a crack addiction
  12. why do you feel it's ok for anyone to tell someone else they can't have something? does N.Korea go to the un bitching you are allowed to own assault riffles and are going to impose sanctions on the usa until you are not allowed to own one? what gives us or anyone the right to say a country cannot have any kind of weapons they want especially when ourselves have them. what guarantee does N.Korea have we are not planning on using our nukes on them? it's easy to make simple judgments based on one side of the argument....
  13. progressive gave me the absolute lowest price around with $95 a year liability. if you have health insurance already you can drop that from your bike insurance and save a lot of money. and deal directly with the insurance company. agents get a cut of your policy premium. you may be paying more for the agent than the insurance.
  14. I hate firefox. it never works right for me, ever. v2 worked but the new one sucks worse than IE4. the new IE8 is working very good for me. and has a bunch of pretty neat new features. and seems much faster than firefox and IE7. I also cant stand the way firefox or any linux programs are layed out and work. such as the menu's etc. they are like shit from the early 90's.
  15. just give up the smoking. it will be banned in a few years anyway.. LOL
  16. n korea is like the child that does anything for attention. they offer nothing to the world economy etc, so they do shit like this. what's the big deal anyway? we have rockets and missles we launch all the damn time. we also have some of the most deadly weapons in the world...why should we tell anyone else they cannot? americans are huge hypocrites.
  17. just don't let him work on your suspension....I know someone with a horrible experience.. I won't go into details but put it this way, it was a major waste of money and time....and now he is out of a brand new shock....
  18. from the looks of the bike on channel 12's website, I highly doubt he was going anything more than the speed limit. the bike is barely damaged.
  19. it will happen again. like I said. he isn't the only person to have experienced the problem. even mine has done it a few times. the first time mine did it was in 2006. it didn't happen again until last summer. and it won't always do it every time. I've been around so many R6 forums since I bought mine in 03 to know.
  20. I know a guy that works for artimis and he posted the pics of it. you can see a trail of blood up to the guys head. he said the bike was a cruiser and traveling over 100mph when it slammed into the rear of a car. http://localriders.com/forums/showthread.php?goto=newpost&threadid=13899
  21. all the blackstone lab results I've seen from bikes using that oil show high levels of wear. one flat out told the guy he has major piston scuffing. that oil is made for vehicles that idle most of their lives and rarely hit over 3k rpm. not for motorcycles that can rev to 16k rpm. not all oils are the same. it would be like saying you can use white lithium grease in disk brake wheel bearings...and that is a huge no no.
  22. do they still have the repsol racing for $9.99? It usually goes for $13. I used to be able to get the repsol sintetico (semi synthetic) for $5 a quart. but someone bought the shop and raised the prices.. I was going to switch (very reluctantly) to Mobil's motorcycle oil you can get from auto parts stores. it's still $10 a quart.
  23. there are plenty of reputable shops in cincinnati. I used to recommend holeshot motorsports because there was a Yamaha certified mechanic working there, but I think they went out of business. I also know a guy that is a mechanic for kings dodge and has a 06 too. maybe he or I could help you out also.
