Earache

This is the truth .

True - if they fix it then no harm, no foul. But they definitely used two different powders.

Thye can apply flat powder on top of the gloss without having to blast it again - as long as it's been kept clean. Should be very easy for them to do. They're lying if they say they used the same powder for both a glossy and a flat finish. Gloss powder can be made to be less glossy by curing it too long, but there's no way that I know of to make flat powder come out glossy....unless they buffed the shit outta it after coating. Doubt even that would work.

Just search for a nankai leatrhers dealer and them order the gloves for you. Dunno if Moto Liberty does nankai at all, but they would know who does if they don't. Give'em a call and ask - they're in Texas. I had a pair of Nankai Mick Doohan rep gloves - leather was supple as shit and fit great. Never crashed in them though - leather that thin can't last long in a crash.

Do them make them in mens as well?

Hello BMWBikeRider - Just signed up to the group you created. Welcome to OR!

I have a feeling that this will be a very sparsely populated group. But hwat the Hell, I'm in. R1150GS here.

I saw that in RR Mag - never been to one of their events before although I've subscribed to the mag since it came out. Will give ya a yell when I get over that next summer.

Ain't that the truth - weirdo's are at the extreme of both sides.

Does it come with tassles? Gotta have tassles. That way, you can tell whether or not that slow piece of shit is moving or not.

Of course. I'll PM my cell numnber to you.

My legal advice would be to ignore anything you read here and talk to someone that has a clue. That'd rule all of us out....

Those commercials are great - wish they'd run'em again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pcqVQe-4z0

Looks like I'll be in Columbus next Wednesday night - Jan 26th - staying somewhere on the northside or downtown. If you can get the forks to me at the hotel, I'll bring them to 35 Motorsports for you.

Everywhere has Smithwicks - it's owned by the same company that owns Budweiser.

Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati has it as well.

This looks to be pretty cool. How dare KTM let Yamaha sneak into the top five.... http://player.sbs.com.au/dakar/#/dakar/highlights/highlights/playlist/Dakar-Stage-1-Bikes/

A new prosecutor just took office and reinstated all charges against the officer. Have fun in Laguna - that place really sucks balls.

My sis and bro in law live in New Concord (off of Maple Brook Road - just west of the crooked bridge or whatever the fuck it's called.) Spent more time in that town than I care to remember. I toured England, Scotland and Ireland on a Honda Deauville - the older, 650 version of your bike. Little bugger did a fine job of hauling my fat ass all over the place for three weeks. Nice little scooter. I'll have to give you a yell next time I'm over that way. Almost always briong a bike with me when we go over there -the wife drives and I ride over. Go there about 7-8 times per year. Where in VA are you going? I have a few roads I wanna hit down there this year. Haven't been there for awhile and Route 17 near Tazewell is calling my name. We did Glacier a couple of years ago - would love to go back there as well.

Casper loves to ride in Texas.

I go there for work and am not sure right now when the next time will be. Will try to give you as much advance warning as possible though.

I'll also be in Columbus before the end of the month. Drop'em off at Shitty's and I'll pick them up and take'em to Reuben. As far south on 33 I ever go is about Lancaster. Could meet you there soemtime.

Yup - funny how so many HD guys say loud pipes save lives but then they wear fuck all for proper safety gear. Half helmets and chaps made of thin assed fashion leather. Fuckin' wankers.

Fixed.

Funny - she never replied.
