ITS A GODDAMN WALLAROO

[cletus]

Got a letter for jury duty. 

One of the trials is expected to take 6 weeks. 

Have also included a letter from employer

Hope that's enough to get me off lol

 

[RUNAMUCK]

You should have drawn swastikas all over the form too.  Or bulldogs seig etc

[Raizer]

Your girls like the whistles @RUNAMUCK? 

 

Trim around that base gasket with a blade, those packages are too well sealed and I managed to destroy my base gasket pulling the plastic off the front of the card.

[RUNAMUCK]

I though we were friends man. 

Those lollipops transformed them into monsters tonight too. Although miss six loved the blue tongue effect. 

Now to make time to pull the motor out, and do the teardown.

[Mop Head]

Lifans are great. 

[RUNAMUCK]

Saw those in person today. Had the rep at work. Really nice lids. Their visor changing is so quick and easy. Comfortable as too.

I got an hjc rpha90 last weekend, and the anti fog strip visor doofer has blown my mind, literally magic.

/the wife made me buy a closed face helmet, obviously my face is too pretty to grind off.

Flipface helmet buddies 

[RUNAMUCK]

I just bought a nice compact sleeping bag and a new backpack of aliex for this too. 

[Truenotch]

We should rename this the Aliexpresscapade. 

[Chris.QCR]

Haha yes !!  So much of my bike and gear was purchased from ali

 

We should get patches for our vests that say

Support your not local chinese small business owner

Yeahhhhh full face helmets for life. After seeing a poor Thai fellows brains spread across the road in front of me I’ve barely worn a half face ever since. 

They quite literally leave you with half a face. 

Also; how crazy but this Lifan almost bolts in to the frame. Wondering if the old pushrod Honda engine mounts are totally different from the CT/ST ones. 

[Chris.QCR]

Sandblasting is back a week earlier. Powdercoating later today and will be picking up tomorrow ! Fizzin

[BLIZZO]

Holy shit @Chris.QCR how did they get the chrome off those rims, i blasted my old ct rims and it made them dull but didnt get rid of it like on those!

also on helmets i just got a bell MX-9, pretty cheap being under $299, i actually got this one for considerably less than that, super comfy like all bell helmets and the best thing is the visor! see ya later glasses / goggles

 

 

 

[Chris.QCR]

Yeah im impressed that the chrome is gone too ! 

Yeah this new HRC has a internal flip down sun visor as well as the external visor which ill go for a smoke tinted one
