Thanks for the compliment and rep on the photos in The Bar :) Not sure where you are in CO in relation to these current fires, but hope you and yours are all safe!

Some flowers. Don't ask me what kind(s) lol.

Nice job on that custom bead breaker :) The back was easy with just 2x4's.. the front? Not so much! I gave up trying to break the bead and cut the damn tire off like I did with the back. I douched up what little "ring" of sidewall I had left on the rim, wedged my block (2x2; maybe 10" long...

My '09 sounded like that and so does the '08.

I grabbed a hold of the long part of the zip tie that was hanging out, pulled it down (away from the tab) so i could get a TINY flat screwdriver in between the tab and the teeth/ridges. I kept the screwdriver wedged in there the entire time I slid it off until I made my way to the end where the...

I agree on not doing this right on the ground/bench/etc. That's why I built the little 2x4 "box" that was larger than the rotor, but smaller than the rim. I also covered the top side of the 2x4's with an old towel just for some added protection against possible scuffs.

Townsend: Yep, those were the first two videos I had seen on it. If my tires are junk, I'd still cut the sidewalls off though because it was pretty easy with a fresh razor blade. I think it'd be faster than trying to slide zip ties between the tire and rim too. Maybe it was just the PR2, but...

Yeah, there's a little tab that you can wedge a tiny straight/slot/flat screwdriver in and pull it back off. If you don't break the tab, you can reuse it :)

I skipped that part. I don't do a lot of high speed riding anyways. I just left the existing wheel weights on in the same spot, for now anyways. I'll just take them off and get them balanced at my mechanics shop if I get any noticeable vibrations out of it. You could rig something up...

Thanks to whoever originally posted a thread some place on here about pinching the beads together with zip/cable ties. :thumbup: Bigger props to whoever came up with the idea! I've never changed a tire on anything in my life; don't even own any tire irons/spoons or rim protectors. After...

Some fall photos from a couple of years ago. Trees really hadn't even come close to peaking yet.

Phew, I had about 40 pages or so to catch back up on this thread. Some excellent photos in here :) Someone (FinalImpact?) was looking for some hummingbird photos. Mine are far from superb, but these are the best ones I've managed to capture so far. Don't have any feeders here, so I've only...

BIG thanks to ebster1085 for being so easy to deal with on purchasing his bike. I think it's a great looking bike and there isn't really anything major that I plan on changing. It pretty much has everything done to it already that I wanted to do with my '09 FZ6, until I laid it down when what...

Wow, those are excellent! Especially loving the lightning one. Nice work!

Anyone ever tried mixing some booze in with a hummingbird feeder to slow those little bastards down a tad? LOL. I've certainly seen more impressive pics of hummingbirds, but these are a couple of my better ones so far (I've only tried a couple times -- have to go to someone else's house)...

@dxh24; Is that pic wit your bike at Letchworth?

ROFL, as he was starting to pull away, I was thinking "HE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK FOR TRAFFIC!" and BLAM! hah, good one.

12,000+ for me this year. Not bad for a Buffalo, NY riding season. I just hooked up my harness for my heated jacket and couldn't resist going for a quick 45 mile ride a couple of days ago when it was 45F though lol.

Congrats to the Giants! Not really a fan, but HATE the Patriots -- so I'm a happy man! lol
