8 Spoke

Wheel works great. Rode up the east side of Mt St. Hellens yesterday. In Woodland motel room right now waiting for jaysonsmith to get the fuck out of bed so we an ride more. White sure does shouw the brake dust though.

 

Wow the 8 looks great. Congrats on the find.

 

Guess you'll just have to stop using the brakes Randy. LOL. Either that or you'll have to wash them more. HAHA

 

Mine looks grey now too. With black accents. Bike sure was put through the ringer these last three days.

 

I don't know what you are talking about married man. It took less than a week to get mine. Now how long it took me to buy one is another story. I guess it was one of those "opportunity knocks" things that worked out really well.

 

Yep, luck has a lot to do with it. Rollin_Again had posted his up in the classifieds and I jumped on that for my 5 Gen, then another one popped up and I got that for my 6 Gen! I saw SmackGoogle's ad and told a few peeps I knew wanted one (Sorry Long, Randy beat you to it) but most didn't have the funds readily available, and since I don't have a 3rd VFR, I knew I couldn't use it, so I left it for the next lucky bloke...I guess that means you Randy!

IMO, white sets the wheel off!


Black, not as much...

 

I love that look!! I guess I'm gonna have to start shopping around...

I just got back from Seattle this morning... three days of gorgeous weather while it rained here in Las Vegas... go figure! :der:

 

Randy, that rim look awefull ugly on your bike Tell you what seen you are my best Canuk buddy I will give you my rim and you can send me your this way no one will make fun at your bike :biggrin:

 

You are right Long. FUGLY. I'll ship it right off to you. I will even pay the shipping. Hou want me to remove the metric air and replace it with imperial air?

 

Awwwwwww, now that's just low. LOL. Maybe some racing air instead. :smile:

 

Ya zoom, but if I do that, do I send him kmh air or mph air? And do I fill them to a the noted psi or do I use kilopascals? I'm not going to sleep well tonight at all!

 

Send him mph rated racing air (nitrogen filled to decrease the overall weight of rim and tire combo) and make sure it is measured in KPA just to be on the safe side. Or you could just send him the wheel in one box, the air in another, and an inflator pump in the third box. Then you would have to space them about a week apart. Send the air last, just in case it goes stale. LOL

Hopefully the doctor has given Long the OK to ride by now. Poor guy must be going just about mental otherwise. I think I know how he feels since the doctor told me I can't ride for three weeks to allow the retina in my right eye a chance to heal. I'm also not allowed to fly, bend more than 15 degrees at the waist, stoop, lift anything over ten pounds, jog, run, or any movement that may cause undo sudden movement of the head. Any of the above can apparently cause an increase in the internal pressure of the eye leading to a possible failure of the retina to reattach itself.

 

Its an amazing wheel!! At one time, to be different I was thinking aboot fitting a different generation one on my ride. I must have hit my head...:wacko:


Looks great.

 

My ex wife would be absolutely grounded then. Her primary mode of transportation was to fly on a broom.
