I hope you had to ride that thing with a Jeff Gordon helmet!




Actually, pretty mean looking bike.
No Helmet law in Fla, but they did have those beanie helmets for use with rentals.

Full face is the only way to ride, getting smacked in the face by what ever large bugs they have here is no fun, not the mention sand blasting from the roads.

Nice find! I just called Janet. Her mother is in need of a tv. She doesn't need any bells-n-whistles. Ritz has a 32" Olevia(720p) for $550 w/ free shipping. Subtract the 20%, and you're looking at a price of $440.

My current compressor and 1/2" impact gun works, but it takes a few seconds to(I know this'll sound very wrong) get it off.
I just want everyone to know thats using an impact gun of any sort on your wheel lugs.
If you shear a lug, it will cost you 200-500 dollars to fix.... and be a major pain in the ass.

It will happen putting the lug on. using an impact wrench you wont be able to tell if it gets cross threaded. thats what happened to me. then when I go to remove the lug... pop.

My relayed experience chronicled removing an axle nut, you nut- not a lug nut.
