^^^you aren't lying Matt...just waiting to see what bumper I decide on...plus, Brian does great work and his price reflects that! 
Sean, you're the man...what are these? The Cmax golds?!?! Are you CERTAIN you can't just return them to Autozone and get your money back or swap for a bunch of tree air fresheners?!?!

okay, so if I can't return them, THEN you can have them...and yes, cmax golds for brembo fronts (no rears)

And believe it or not, they force you to give them a number at autozone, so even if you don't have the receipt they can look up the account and give you a refund for them.
But thank you...plus, I'm sure you can sell them for $40 to someone...since they are ceramic and have lifetime warranty including wear! No? I appreciate the offer, but I'm thinking...I have the brakemotives...plus my front/back cmax's sitting in the box.
Shotta...go back a couple of pages, my friend...have a few vids posted up.

1 bike is a fast commuter/wannabe trendy fixie that was a road bike...picked up for $50.
1 bike is a comfort hybrid...good on the back for just riding around the neighborhood
1 bike is my full suspension mountain bike.
1 bike is a 24" bike for fiancee to ride.
I didn't even catch the friggin FIST!
The helmet is only used normally when I ride on the streets, which is never...and every week when I ride the mountain biking trails. They kick you off without em. It's real carbon fiber...this helmet was a gift from my fiancee when we first started working...it's cracked where I landed on my head, but it's too much to replace...(friggin thing was over 200 bucks).

Damn, if you hate the goofy look of the helmet you should look if the full face helmet, like motorcross. I love the look of them. They sell them at bike shops, if I was to ride bikes I'd have a full face.

Once we buy a house and have a garage I'm buying two old Vespa's and supping them up. -_-
Cool story I know.
We both have nice Giant bikes now btw. Never use them. Lol

^^^That is pretty cool, actually...if I had a 2 car garage, I'd have a LOT more projects...those 4 bikes are hanging above my car in a 1 car garage...amidst many tools and other crap.
I ride Markham/Amelia twice a week. I love riding.
Austin, you're out of your mind...I don't like helmets either way, and it's Florida...it's hot as FK down here for a full face helmet. Plus, I don't think they look any cooler.

to each his own but I'd wear a helmet on trials and stuff, lots of rocks and stuff to split your noggin on. I think they look better.

the real question is...
are you wearing any underpants on said trails!?!?
LOL...yeah, I guess the fulls are nice...
mine doesn't look like that one on top...that looks like a Target special Bell helmet!

I know it...front fork is Fox...and I have an awesome Fox shirt...pricey stuff, but it's for a reason.
My helmet is a specialized carbon s-works...etc...top o the line...fits like a friggin head condom!

Half my closet is fox got a few jackets too. Nice stuff man, I was gonna link you the Fox CF helmet but it's close to $400, so if you don't want to replace the one you have for $200 I doubt you'd want to spend double on it lol, plus it's an actual MX helmet, the BMX helmets are a little different.

Yes sir...I know what you mean...it only gets better too...I was only totally self sufficient after i turned 22 and moved out on my own. Haven't had to ask for help from either parental unit since. I love being self sufficient.

Once I do this college crap and it's over with I'll probably get a steady job (so I know I can be self sufficient) and then move out.
