That was the night I saw you @ Horizon right?

 

wrecked already.

how did that happen?

Every good rider crashes @ least once though.

 

Ouch.

 

What happened Johnny?

 

I'm fine just a little booboo on my left forearm. I was fully geared up.. just scratches on the bike + small piece of fairing broke off. I sold it at a price I couldn't refuse. Theoretically I didn't even lose much money + I crashed it so I let it go.

Went on a ride up redwood rd to skyline blvd to bear creek.. crashed it on a banked turn on skyline.. partially user error but partially road conditions. I'm pretty sure I could've corrected but I panic'd. Had two options - correct and get close to edge, but if it slips i'll land on concrete, or straighten out and try to skid to a stop on the side dirt. I opted for the latter since there would be less damage (only .5sec to decide). It literally felt like I sat down and stood right back up... picked the bike up and road for another 2-3 hours, as well as the next day.

But on a lighter note... pretty likely that I'll be picking this up this weekend


Not bringing this one home this time though... Lol.. too much nagging/bitching. . will prolly bring it back home in the summer

 

glad u're okay johnny. pick up that 600rr, looks sick. that jardine is ridicously loud though

Definitely voting this month.

 

damn, glad you're ok brobot, happens to the best of riders. Everyone that I've talked to that rides has always laid their shit out at least once.

 

this was only maybe the 5th time or so using my off camera lighting setup on a shoot. I really need to practice and shoot more, it was pretty fun. The dog was over 75lbs and was having a free for all scrambling around my lap in the car

This was just for fun, nothing too serious, it was pretty difficult to get the dog to look over at the camera. The entire time it was trying to run off and play with the other people/dogs at the park.

Keep up the good work!!

 

hey guys. i might actually be able to enter my car into WEKFEST as a shop sponsor. but i dont know if it will be ready. but im glad to see a bunch of AZiners are in it already!

 

^ what you drive and what shop do you represent? pictures?

 

i work at a bodyshop in san leandro. ADVANCED TECH. and i got a 08 KBP tl type s.

 

^ Pics?

 

its not ready once its done ill post

 

Quick question...

Any issues with running extended lugs on OEM studs?

You don't need extended studs right?

Next question...

Anyone have a set that they're interested in selling?

 

Came home with the 07 RR . Damn this thing is frikken light as hell compared to the gsxr!

 

i might be leaving the 2g family... my tranny completely gave out tonight

 

Would anyone like to help me put my 6K HID bulbs in my car? i'll buy you lunch! i don't have many tools at home and I'm mechanically-challenged

 

OH F#CK. That sucks man.

 

You mean...just replace HID bulbs?

I always break shit so I don't install my own shit.

It's been a while since I replaced mine but I don't think you need any tools for that.

Anyone else correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Noah, your wrong lol

You need to remove the bumper and headlight. There are security screws holding a plastic cap covering the bulb.

At least thats how it is on the 2Gs.

Damn, that sucks man. Are you gonna get it fixed up?

 

Well...WTF do I know!

I think a shop put them in when I was getting other work done.

 

if you have really small hand u can do it with out removing bumper. if not u have to haha

yea ima get it fixed. but idk if ima keep it. I might just part it out, or see how much i will get without parting it out. idk ill see

 

Think you only have to take off inner clips off fender and two screws. Don't need to remove whole bumper. PM me if you wanna put em in today. I'm in downtown SJ. I put HID's in my fogs a couple of weeks ago and had to take bumper off to mount the ballast. So I know how to take it off if need be, and best of all I can do it without breaking anything.

 

fuk ya.. My boy has an 07 Gix and I had an 06RR hella lighter, but hella easier to get loose on

 

Me and a friend tried to go through the the fender and we couldnt locate the torx screw holding the cap in! got too frustrated so we gave up

 

that definitely sucks man.

 

Yeah its a pain in the ass. Tech 3 usually charges around 80 bucks to do it.

 

Lol funny thing was that I was talking to Paul today at my gf's cousin's bday party and he said it was a pain in the ass to do XD

 

Haha sounds like child labor

Never done a 2007 before, apparently looks more complicated than necessary. I just had to replace my OEM D2R ballasts with a D2S retrofit kit (save money and to work with my headlights).

 

paul prummmmmmm

new pics in my thread in 3g section...

 

^ looks sick!!

 

i saw you on the roll in list..timothy i think it said your name was? forget

 

lost our spots due to a miscommunication on when to pay for registration. FAIL... My car missed its chance to be in Wekfest this year. Adrian's gonna rep it so right for the bay area TLs. I'll see you guys there as an attendee.

 

^ that sucks Eddie!
