  1. Formation? I don't mind that on a straight boring stretch, like PCH. :goofy:

    But in the twisty bits, sometimes overtaking moves are needed.

    I always do it safe, quick, and on the left.

    I someone faster appears in my mirrors, I'll stay in the right track and wave them by in an easy passing spot.

    But, I'm not following a bunch of Hardleys roaring along at half speed. :biggrin:

    I let them know I'm there, and pass on the left. Quick, but no :blush:

  2. I took my reflectors off the minute I rolled my bike into the garage for the first time, they lasted 19 miles... no crack in my fender yet?

    All I know is mine cracked in a couple rides or so after reflectors off. :laugh:

    And the black ABS cement works, but is none too attractive. :biggrin:

  3. as soon as I put my helmet on the bike just fell to the left.

    Clearly this is the helmets fault, and it should be fired! :biggrin:

    I mean, that's a bummer. :laugh:

    Fender looks good Seb. I could use a new one, since mine is cracked by both top mounting bolts.

    Seems some asshat mechanic removed the reflectors but didn't put a washer in there to fill the space. :cool:

  4. Its actually a spring used years ago for a window crank handle,, how many here remember "rolling" a window down in their cage?

    Yeah I do. My pickup has hand cranked windows, and it's a 2002. No electric door locks or mirrors either. :pissed:

    About Freddie,,,,,,well, I'm just not gonna say, it may make others jealous

    So, its a forgery then? :lol:

  5. A note for the cheap amongst us:

    Last time I was in a junkyard, I removed and bought a set of horns from a Volvo. They are just like fiamm nautilus horns (they just may be for all I know) and loud as can be. I even took the mounting bar the horns were on. 5 bucks.

    I like that one Timmie. Maybe I should go visit Pick Ur Part. :thumbsup:

    The bullhorn would probably just help me get in trouble. :rolleyes:

  6. Nice job and nice write up. :thumbsup:

    Painting a lot of work. I decided after painting one bike with rattle cans, I wasn't going through all that sanding again. :beer:

    Good explanation of why a good paint job is so expensive too. :D

  7. I had a Magellan unit that I took with me on my big trip, but I never even turned it on... just used directions I printed out from Yahoo maps...

    I'd at least have turned it on. Paper maps are fine by me so far. For a long trip to unfamiliar turf, yeah then I might really want one. :thumbsup:

    I love the satellite images / maps. I've seen plenty on computers, and they're getting better all the time.

    But, Do they have those on handheld GPS now? That would be cool. :unsure:

    Still not necessary though. I must be a cheapass. :rolleyes:

  8. I painted a tank, 2 small side covers and both fenders on an old bike years ago. Spray cans in the basement. Came out decent but not professional looking. Best viewed not too close. The bitch is in the prep work. Sanding, sanding, and more sanding.  :goof:
