Re: so i am now scared to wheelie my gsxr
Just finished setting up mine, and every time I look on SL someone is calling it a fixxer, or a p.o.s. or something. I am sort of getting to where it doesn't bother me, but this is a serious deal here.
I have seen a couple already like this in Oz cycle salvage. One that I robbed a lever for my Hb off of had a 30 day tag on it!! The frame was broke in two on both sides, and the effin lever was only bent a bit, probably in transport!! That should tell ya something.
I was going to plate the sub-frame, and get a OMR sub-cage for it, that takes care of that. But plating the frame now too....damn it man. Seems like I am having to do a lot to this just so that it doesn't break. I feel like the kid in the Yamaha commercial trying to kick that honda 50 with a drill sargent yelling, and the kid says " I just wanna ride"! lol
Just got it pimped too,& I am having flashbacks to when I kicked a leg over that Kawi like 3 days before I bought this bike...
What do you guys think, think that this prob. is traceable with the Vin#'s to a bad batch or something?? You know like there was one strung out Japanese teamster on the line or something!

I don't blame you, you look like you know what your'e doing bro.
I have full coverage, and it only runs me like 450. / year. And in my sitcheeation it is too late, I am now done with set up(minus a chain) and I don't want to keep this thing shifting through wheelies if that can happen at those speeds. So I will chance it for the both of us!
Lot bike it is!
Are you coming for Josh's after party comp.?

I figured at least a couple SF guys would come over.
Good deal, your right though...four hours is still four hours in the truck with no one to pass it, I mean talk to....That can suck. lol
Anyways hope to see ya'll there,looking forward to formal introductions and all.
