    Since I hate having to do “hand work”, I prefer to have machines produce the finish I desire, I started messing around with sand blasting my Micarta (phenolic resin and fabric).. I really love the way it comes out. Plus no hand sanding needed

    Thanks. I’ve got a few minor tweaks to make on the first 5 prototypes. Then I’m hoping to have a batch of 15 finished up in April or may.

    That’s how the Cali highway patrol gets the motorcycles. They have this camera that’s unbelievable in their helicopters, and can follow the cycle. They arrested, or give tickets when they stop

    I only paid like $13 at Lowes for triple 17. Where you shop? 5th Avenue? Saks? Bloomingdales? Macy's?
    Lol imagine going into one of those stores and asking them where they keep their good fertilizer...

    Here’s a fun thing that happened this afternoon. Was parked 15 seconds before this guy thought he’d try to ride a wheelie. On a 40 degree day. Now my truck doesn’t drive straight and the traction control light is on. Neat. At least he was fine, he refused the ambulance. I didn’t get a pic of the bike under my truck cause I wanted to make sure he was ok. He was wearing sweatpants, not much abrasion resistance there.

    Glad you and him are okay, hopefully you can get your truck back driving straight in no time and that light off.

    Farmers feed and seed in Kernersville. We call it the feed and weed. Highest place in town, apparently :facepalm:

    I’ll have to check Lowe’s next time I’m there.
