dmax or die

Louvers look good on everything

 

I want a turbo scoop lol

 

I think louvers look good moulded into fenders

 

What if we put the louvers on backwards? Multi hood scoop

 

Meh

What if I swap the plastic bumper on my truck for a metal 00-02 bumper and this sweet valence?

Get the color matched metal bumper, your T3 needs to be all blacked out

 

Should have done the spend on the TRD

 

You had me at topless...wha’d i miss?

 

Dumped his little bike testing it out today. Thankfully he is ok, just needs to have a few weeks of easy mode as he puts it

 

personally i've been looking for a 3uz to build.. less weight. more power stock (and more torque down low too oddly enough) 6 bolt mains and closed deck means its plenty strong... i just like the idea of shedding weight and gaining power.

 

Yeah, but how's the bike?
















just kidding...but how is the bike?

 

I'm just going for 500hp and tq

 

Because race truck

Also race truck

 

Not with my gearing lol. We're going for pulling/ hauling power

Not a bad little hack if it works

 

I'll pm you

 

probably as sore as i am.

 

A lot of that'll buff out.

 

Yea, might wind up looking a little more street fighter.

 

Yikes... I missed this... What happened?? Did you just put it down, or did someone force you down??

I'm guessing this was your 6 stitches, etc. reference

 

UGH. Was hoping this was a mini-bike mishap. Not the Buell man. Hope your not too rashed up.

 

All my fault. I got too comfortable making laps around the block, was just gonna warm it up since i was gone for 3 weeks. Might've been some loose gravel, but i take full responsibility.

its not if, but when.

 

Looks like that bike is totaled (from an insurance and possibly safety perspective) also. Those spun aluminum frames don't like dents. I had a 600 GSXR that I was run over on and ended up with a small golf ball size dimple on the frame. Totaled. Had about $1500 in cosmetic repairs other wise. The dented area will eventually crack open and split the frame under stress. Doubt it's a catastrophic failure mid knee dragging corner, but failure none the less.

 

Two kinds of riders. Those that have been down, and those that will.

 

I went down about 20 years ago. still scares the shit out of me.

 

When I went down the first time, I figured out I wasn't that good of a rider. I started really diving in to riding techniques and learned a lot of things I didn't know. I got more confident in my technique, while still remembering the feeling of that crash. I chose my riding activities better and was not getting into the situations I knew I couldn't control (Used to ride in big groups doing dumb high speed rural road runs). Two of the best tools I picked up were counter steering and trail braking. Both absolute life savers. Despite all of that, a freaking patch of gravel can still get ya. It's an inherently dangerous activity. That's why it's so exhilarating. Put my bike up for sale when we found out my wife was pregnant. I got run over before I could sell it and made an extra $4k on it

 

Glad you're okay and hopefully the bike isn't too far gone... looks like it went down pretty hard (not just a slide)
