Hope those are good for you Doug! Ok - these suck...... I took them in the sunlight with my iphone 5s and apparently one of my children messed with the camera settings. I do NOT have an orange bike!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doug I have a powder coated 8 spoker on my red 6th gen. I'll take some real pics and post up today. Then a photoshopper can have less work to do to make your request happen. Were you planning to show the photoshopped version to your friend? Cancer sucks. Sorry bout your buddy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For the last couple years, we've been able to gather up a bunch of SWAG to give away on the Saturday night of TMAC, and its happened as a result of members that pilfer their company marketing rooms, suppliers trunks, and friendly dealers/parts suppliers that kick in what they can. If you can procure some hats, shirts, bike parts, tiger striped bikinis, whatever - please either bring it with you to the event - or send it ahead of time to the Microtel - (address in the TMAC thread) - marked to the attention of Kevin Bailey - VFRD TMAC Event. These items are handed out after dinner on Saturday, and usually they are quite a hit with everyone. Thank in advance!

SELL - or give away both your bikes, NOW - and buy a big SUV, perhaps a Hummer H1, diesel engine, self inflating tires, etc..... WOW. Glad you are ok - but man - you have got to stay away from the deer!!!

Thread edited and posts deleted - keep it Family Friendly please.

I also heard that last year. I attach 4 straps with only enough tension to stay tight - to stay legal. (I'd love to know if that actually is the law though.)

Don't use straps at all. Use a Pitbull trailer restraint system. FTW!

To properly "flat black" a freshly powder coated 8 spoke, you must use Wheelers free bike wash products... Doh! Nice work.

Registration complete......... Regardless if my shoulders are fooked up or not - I'll be there!

Ian - great to hear you're still fiddling about with that blue beast! We've all been hoping to hear more stories of crashing and blowing up and then blowing up some more! ;) I don't have much to offer on your conundrum other than to suggest you make sure your throttle is adjusted properly at the right grip. The herky jerky I had on my bike went away once I fixed mine up.

Meeting with Surgeon next Friday - hoping to have some news as to the WHEN of the first shoulder getting fixed up. Hoping its ASAFP, as the pain sucks - but also hoping i can recover fast enough to ride in May...... If I can't ride - i might have to fly down for the festivities portion of the event. Couldn't stand the idea of missing the hotel wrenching on Timmies bike!!

Just found out I need surgery on BOTH of my shoulders. (Thank you CrossFit and my immature mindset!) No idea as to when, but I'm trying hard to make the first one happen AFTER May. If I don't have TMAC to look forward to - I won't survive the rest of this flipping winter we're having. Gonna need some help unloading my bike off the trailer, and maybe some help carrying in the beer!

Is that the bike that Adrian ( i forget his last name - was it Vanderkroll ?) built? If so - I saw it after it unfortunately fell over in transport and some damage was done. If thats not Adrian's bike - then there are two in Ontario! Welcome to VFRD by the way! That does not look like an Ontario license plate? Correct- but the poster of the Pic is an Ontario member - and the plate could be a "prop". Our plates certainly are not that insane.

Very Nice - but I have 25 Solo Racks available - I could have just sold you one of mine..... I often use my Solo Rack as a spot for the tank bag. Works great. (admittedly selfish bump to sell the racks I have before My wife kills me)

Very cool - and welcome to VFRD!! Guys that do these complete teardowns are coupled with great skills - keep going!

I have the Skidmarx hugger. Its fit wasn't perfect - but pretty good. I'll be removing it this winter when I do up the SS Brake lines - will see if its cracked at all.

Don't be calling Sebastian a squid now....... oh - and I owe you some info Ken!!

Maybe I've missed the obvious..... shouldn't these awards be called "The Timmies" ? Keep going Timmy - this will be good!

I'm sure if you show up again with jeans on as your riding gear - an award will be given to you..... ;)

I like that Timmy - keep working it !!

Was hoping to be "IN" on this one - but its not going to happen. Might as well winterize my VFR now...... phuck. Have a good time!

Room for a Kanadian at this boondoggle? I wouldn't be there till late Friday night but it's on my radar. My birthday is the 4th and my wife is telling me to go and celebrate in NY. Timmy - this on your agenda? Need to see weather outlook - not wanting a repeat of the PA trip.......

Calipers sticking at all?

The OEM rack mounts in place of the grab handles - it doesn't sit on top of them (if that is your question). Welcome to VFRD!
