  1. thanks for the offer, but i got it handled, one of my fellow junkies came through and i'm ready to hit kentucky tomorrow
  2. maaaaaaaaaaaatt!! want some chipotle? and chips? and guacamole? and a beer? haha i'm really close to just saying screw it and buying a clip master link, which i really would like to avoid..
  3. i'm down... i managed to cut the new chain down to size with a bench vise, bolt, and a socket, but i still need a clamp and rivet tool... if anybody has one PLEASE give me a call, I'll buy you lunch, fill the tank on your bike, whatever... getting this chain riveted on is the only thing that can stop me from riding sunday, and i really dont want to miss out!
  4. Need a favor... If anybody has a chain breaker and rivet tool I could borrow for a few hours, please let me know... I can come pick it up or meet you somewhere, and I dont have a problem buying you lunch/dinner in return for your help. If you have one, shoot me a text or give me a call at 376-0271 Thanks! Doug
  5. i'm in.. i lost part of my ghetto rigged kill switch and i dont want to burn up my new tires, but i'll still come to watch
  6. awesome! one of the sales people at work actually just picked up a 75 cb550, which he knows nothing about.. he actually doesnt even know anything at all about bikes, i had to explain to him all the controls and everything - he wants me to help him fix it up and turn it into a cafe racer also, so if you need help let me know, i'll have a similar project going on at the same time!
  7. he was crazy when i dropped my bike off... dropped it off right as they were closing, got a ride from my friend back to my house... not even a half mile down the road he comes flying up behind us on what i assume was a cold motor, rode a wheelie past us and tore onto the highway onramp going into a pretty good lean on cold slicks..
  8. Sounds like the guy that tuned my bike at Miami Cycle Works a year or two ago...
  9. hey now, i'm sorry we dont all have nice comfortable aftermarket seats... my ass couldnt take any more of the hard stock gixxer seat! I agree though, camping would be a lot of fun!
  10. I went on one with earache and a few others last year and had a blast! I'm definately up for it again, but would probably find some way to trailer this time... 1200 miles in a weekend on a sportbike will make your ass sore, and i didnt even want to ride for almost a week after. SO worth it though, great time.
  11. how cheap is cheap? i'm interested but poor as hell haha
  12. Found this on another forum - this is insane! I was heading south on 125 here in California, at about 90 mph, all of a sudden I feel the impact, I had smacked into a 40-50lb Coyote and split it in half. I walked away from this free of any injury and without laying the bike down. How I managed this, I am still in amazement!!
  13. haha i never wheelied it, but it was very comfortable to ride... much more upright than my gixxer and i seem to remember it having a pretty low seat height too
  14. jon did the actual work, i just helped him sand and prep since he actually knew what he was doing. He is asking $1500
  15. This was my first bike that I learned how to ride on a few years ago. I sold it when I bought my current bike, this isn't my bike, so please don't come to me asking to buy it, I just found it on craigslist and decided to help the guy out. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/mcy/956438747.html When I bought it, I bought it from a cool guy of mexican background, who had his friend paint it silver with dragons on it - quality airbrushing, but not my thing, so my friend jon (01929rr) and i spent a few late nights at the body shop he worked at sanding it all down, and repainting it - it says in his ad that the color is BMW's carbon black, which it isn't, its just the look I was going for when we mixed the paint up. Anyway, never had any trouble with the bike when I owned it, it sounds like he may have dropped it since he said there is a crack in one of the fairings. Just passing the ad along to help the guy out a little bit Here is what it looked like when I sold it to the guy: Here is what it looked like when I bought it 3 years ago:
  16. I'm down! is it ok to bring a friend or two?
  17. is anybody heading to target world after the show? all i have is an SKS which i can't shoot there, but i'm totally up for buying ammo if anybody has something they want to shoot
  18. damn.... i really want to go, but i don't need to spend the money (not to get it, its just really hard for me to walk out of a gun show empty handed)
  19. I'll be there! assuming I can get a new rear tire by then...
  20. very true... there were many fine ladies in applebees that night.. good times! to be honest, id have probably gone for a mile ride down the road on the back to get some beers down..
  21. that was a great ride... i got home and crashed, i havent felt good since dinner last night, i think it was the nachos.. anyway, great riding with you guys, I had a blast! get those pictures up ASAP!
  22. i should be there... I get off work at 6 in kenwood, so if anybody is heading through that way feel free to meet up
  23. damn man, i have a set of these on now and I love them, but I'm going to need a new rear soon, def. by the end of the season.. I really wish i had more extra cash on hand, i would take these from you in a heart beat.. got any pictures of them? especially the rear? shoot me a PM, maybe we can work something out..
