What paint did you use? I just sanded down the cheapo Duplicolor rattle can crap on my YZF's sharkskins in preparation for some HOK urethane.

Is that one of the special edition R6s in the background or is it just painted similarly?

You can paint the bike, but can't take the warning stickers off the tank?

Terrific.

hard to say, s the R6 didn't get the cool ohlins/brembo's that the 50th R1 got.

Sorry, I don't assault people/cars like yourself. I'll be honest, I don't have the ***** to do it..In America, where everyone has a gun of some sort, I just lack interest in abusing other people's belongings.

Now tell me, how would you feel about someone assaulting you, or your car?

i love the scotts, the two stage dampening is nice. my only qualm is it might have too many adjustments! ohlins is by far my fav though; I may go back to it.

I don't take offense from people whom obviously ride a Factory pro Graves yamaha! didn't know they built those in '03...How long have you been racing for them? I was watching AMA SBK, and I didn't see you in the pits, why not? Also, why doesn't Graves use the new R6's, but some junky '03?

LOL, look at this ethug.

obviously I don't race AMAs, MotoGP, or the like; but if you want to come play at the club level you know where to find me. I have a junky 03 because Chuck Graves has a lot more money than I, and it would have been stupid of me to pass up a deal like this one. anyways, that's just noise, have fun on your sewing machine!
