Davenport, IA | Subject: RE: TAN 24: TANgerine Speedo.. Rynamite - 2008-05-09 8:09 AM Sprint_DA - 2008-05-09 9:00 AM Rynamite - 2008-05-09 7:54 AM double bubbles and flushmounts are overrated. Actually the only mods I really hate on sportbikes are lowering, stretching, chrome, and that stupid integrated brake light where you don't have rear turn signals anymore. Because car drivers see that. Edited: at least you don't have to worry about exchange rate. For the really popular exhaust for the Sprint you have to go through a company out of England called Wolf. I think they finally lowered the cost of what is basically a slip on to just under $1k.Sprint_DA - 2008-05-09 8:49 AM Rynamite - 2008-05-09 7:36 AM I'd call customer service at the second place and ask them if they will price match the first place. No need to tell them it's backordered. After that I'd probably just buy it, unless your exhaust is a lot cheaper than the options out there for my Triumph $90 is just another drop in the bucket. That's why mine still has the original silencer on it.Alright... I ordered exhaust for my streetbike. I got an awesome price, but they just called and said it's backordered til the beginning of July. Bah. There's another place that it's in stock and can ship the same day.... but it's $90 more. If it were something different, I'd probably just wait... however that's 2 months of summer that I'm not gonna get to use it if I do. Think it's worth the extra 90 bucks to have it sooner? I tried that. They WILL match the price.... in 2 months as well. Apparently there are 2 different kinds of distributorships, and the one that gets the better price is super backordered, the other is available. Yeah... it's not cheap... so $90 in the scheme of things isn't that big of a difference. It would take a nice chunk out of the frame sliders I ordered, though... or a fender eliminator kit... or a double bubble windshield... or flushmount signals... I was planning on doing the integrated tail light... BUT also getting rear pegs with LED's that work as turn signals... to increase visibility. They look pretty sweet, and you can't even tell they're there until they're blinking, then they're super bright. That sucks about the exhaust... it's crazy how expensive that stuff is getting. I could go with Yosh or Two Brothers and save a bunch of money... but they're obnoxiously loud... and kinda junky. I know what you mean about 2bro's. They are the one major manufacturer who builds exhaust for mine and it isn't even close to the best looking. Big step back from stock: http://www.twobros.com/cgi-bin/shopper?search=action&sku=005-15404&... The integrated tail with signals on the footpegs sounds interesting. Some day I will either sell this bike or get rid of the mudflap that came on the back of it. |

Iron Donkey 38643 , Wisconsin | Subject: RE: TAN 24: TANgerine Speedo.. lvthgme - 2008-05-09 9:08 AM Okay so...today. Worked out at the school instead of the gym, b/c we were going to be monopolizing four bars for a while and that's rude. So...we do our thing and then it's only 6:00. DANG IT I wish I'd brought my gym bag b/c I could totally go get in 45 min of working out and such. So...I stopped at my house and got it and THEN went. Duh. Anyway, I was pondering on the way out that it's REALLY weird that I'd PREFER to shower at the gym, just "comfort" level reasons etc. That's just weird. But it's where my routine lives. THEN...while I was getting ready there, there were these two women also getting ready at the same time. Not the usual two, they don't work out Friday AM. So...rant: Lady 1 has a FREAKING RADIO PLAYING on the counter. And there are tv's in there, which are on the Today show EVERY day. That's just how it is. And so now we've got those AND the radio. On a DUMB station. Too much noise, and what the HECK is she THINKING? WHO DOES THAT? I kept thinking of my mom saying "If EVERYONE did that, it wouldn't work..." which was a good point when I was little and it still is. Grrr. So, because I'm so mature, I decided I'd play a game and see if I could go the whole time w/o hearing that dumb radio. So Lady B had a hair dryer going, so I didn't. Then when she was done, I started mine, etc. Bwahahaha...bring your radio again Lady A and we'll have to have words. I said that last time, but then I didn't see her again for a long time so I thought she quit coming. Anyway, she ALSO brushed her teeth before she left. Which is fine. But she left the water on full blast the whole time. Weird. I didn't think ANYONE did that anymore, but clearly she does. And she brushed em forever. Grrrr. Lady B now only had one infraction today. =) She keeps a hand dryer thing on ALL the time. Like, the whole time she's getting ready it's blowing on her BACK. I think this is a sweat reduction thing, but A) she's blowing hot air onto herself and B) she's heating up the entire little "get ready" area. It makes me bonkers. It's the same thing with the whole "If EVERYBODY did that..." What are these women thinking?
Good thing I'm so perfect. This would be perfect for the "Post things you hate thread.." that came in! I would just fart next to both of them and see what happens - eye for an eye, per se. |

Good thing I'm so perfect. Nice... bring a bigger radio next time, and sit it right beside hers... and turn it up louder. 2 honkie MILFs jammin' da box and havin' a boom war in da crib. Da yam! |
