    H1N1, Who's getting the vaccine?

    No. I am not high risk and even if I do get it, I will simply only get sick. No underlying health issues. Good immune system, diet and I wash my hands regularly; I dont even plan on getting it in the first place I have never had a flu shot, not about to go stand in the cold in a 5hour long...

    Wrecked yesterday

    I would highly suggest not using house of kolors. That is one of the most expensive paints goin, and it certainly is not the best. If your not scared of dropping $$$, Glasurit or Sikkens both have a far superior product for less money than HoK. other than that, only tip I have is before you...

    warning for anyone with t-rexx sliders

    I agree, they still reduced damage greatly. if there was enough force to snap it clean off, thats force dissapated into the slider; not a part of the bike. There have been enough crash tests with them to warrant them just as good quality (with the same amount of freak accidents) as the $80...

    First 30 degree ride

    I ride to school/work in the morning until the snow flies. At 6am the temps are usually -3* with -8* windchill. 100km/h for 20 mins on the highway. Best thing you can buy is a balaclava. I bought a super cheap $5 one at a local shop and it works beauty. You wouldnt think it because its sucha...

    Paint Help

    sand everything out with 320, then follow with 500 grit. If there is any bare metal (will be) you will need to etch prime them before painting, it will stop rust from forming and allow paint to stick to metal. you can buy these in a spray can. as for matching the paint, im not sure about...

    Silver to black?

    you wont be painting the engine bits... It requires a powdercoat. its true, if you want this to be done, itll be easier to trade for a new bike. to paint your fairings etc it would be very easy, to do the engine and frame..... WOW its not even a job I would do. If your friend intends to paint...

    Check out my freshly painted tank!

    looks ok, but im sorry to tell you that spray paint does not have even close to the UV protection of true paint. After a month (tops) in the sun, your paint is most likely going to be falling off, or hazed to an insanely gross grey color. spray bomb clear coat =/= real clear coat. Even our BASF...

    rim stripe removal !!! OMG *shoots self in the head*

    im sure a local bodyshop can take it off for you in about 5 minutes, for a couple bucks. We simply have decal remover erasers hooked up to air that spin at high rpm thatll take the sticker and all remaining goo off in a breeze. Not to mention solvents designed for adhesive removal. I...

    Use the Search Function Rant

    I agree. The one that I really love to see are the threads where someone wants us to write down every manufacturer, pro, con, attribute and price of every _______. Then which is better. And do we have any pictures we can give them?

    Newbie helmet help! IS-16 or EXO-700? And other gear ?'s

    The IS-16 is garbage. Its market are newbies coming into the scene who are mesmerized by the pop down sun-glasses. I was bit by it too. the sunguard visor doesnt block out anything, it fogs to all hell, your hands have to come off the bars to make a quick adjustment. the IS-16 was heavier...
