Things will come together more once I have the upper, but the question now is: How should I paint the wheels? Leave them black? 2 tone? Spokes in orange, outer edge in blue? I'm leaning towards 2 tone, but I want to see the complete fairings before I make a decision.

Two tone can never look bad, especially in those colors. That's my buddy vote.

I should probably check in on this thread more eh? I'm not ignoring you Jabs, thanks for the Fiesta link. I love that picture of the Fiesta, like a beetle preparing for insect battle. And as for my thoughts on children, yes I will have 1 one day. Not in the next 5 years, and if there's anything wrong with it I'm killing it and having another one. No one will ever know  All kidding aside, my clock is very quiet right now. It only comes out a bit when I'm around my nephew (people think I'm his Mom he looks exactly like me) and even then I ignore it. I am, above all else, an insanely practical person and I know what a commitment children are. When I'm in a financially stable place and Conan's on board, hoorah. Until then, I keep my ovaries under lock and key. Speaking of being practical, we're selling the DRZ. Conan needs money for his race fund and I'm willing to let my bike go for that right now. I don't have much time to ride and when we went on a ride yesterday I didn't really enjoy it BECAUSE Z3N HAS COMPLETELY hosed UP MY FRONT END AND IT DOESN'T STEER  Don't trust him around your bikes ever, he's a deceitful man

I need to re-wrap the wiring harness on the 250, because the idiot PO stripped all the wires off. Other things the idiot PO did:   It had a fairly bad oil leak, and the PO had covered the entire back of the crankcase in JBweld, trying to stop the leak. That is the crush washer.  Replaced the crush washer, no more leak. It needs a clutch, a clutch lever, a clutch cable, the wiring harness addressed. I haven't gotten the chain yet, and stickers haven't gone out yet because I'm waiting on the second batch that includes some more of these too:

It's funny imagining you two sitting in the same room on your computers, insulting each other on the forum without speaking. This is why my girlfriend will never know about Cycle Asylum.

If you saw the paint job in person you wouldn't say that These plastics are basically toast, with the paint just sort of being slapped on over them. I made it very clear to my friend (who's a perfectionist) that he just should slop the paint on there and eventually I'll buy a proper set of fairings and we'll paint those. Then I can crash the hell out of those, but I'll hopefully be protected by the spares rule. Gosh, racing is hard! Clank posted:Nah, it will just fall over in transport. I haven't dropped a bike while transporting it yet. No time like the present to start though, right?

Z3n posted:I love this picture of her, it sums her up with one look. We usually are not posting at the same time. I work from home and might check forums on a break while Conan's at his office. When we first met, I had hinted to Conan that I liked him and was not able to get a read on his response. So I IMed him and we had a whole chat about relationships online and he gave me a sob story about his ex girlfriend. He wasn't ready to date yet and I was fine with that, but he could have just told me. Sometimes it is easier at times to discuss something online rather than in person, but fortunately Conan has learned and can just talk in real life now

Suggesting new bike colors should not be gulf oil, but light pink and purple with light blue wheels to match riders soul.

Z3n posted:Well I know what color the B bike is going to be! Get outta town! As I was working on it yesterday, I kept thinking about the different races I've watched over the years, and the one thing that got stuck in my mind is that people-not-in-the-know will pick out someone to root for by the paintjob on whatever is racing. People might show up to a Rocky Mountain Vintage Racers event because they know someone who races an old big-block Corvette in one division, but not know poo poo about anything else - and will pick out the 'cool' car to root for in, say, the Formula VW race. So, after I posted, it struck me that Gulf Blue and Pink is definitely a 'cool' take on a classic paintscheme. Won't help you catch any podiums, but it'll definitely get you noticed. =) drat if those colors don't have me thinkin' now. gently caress.
