yeah dude

you gotta spank it for me for the free goods.....
nah no high tech web sites cause moto parts don't pay shit. branson is spot on with the hourly rate we are worth... about 37 cents. if i quit my day job to supply moto parts to the world i would have to make about 70 grand a year to bank roll my whole program. i can't quit my day job... but i love to bust out freaky parts for friends. pretty much can obliterate anything out there strength and lightness wise. i hate talkin shit about myself but it is true.

my rieju tank and tail section weigh in at 4 lbs total. pretty funney when ya consider a two lb tail is replacing a 20 plus lb subfame plus the heavy plastic bodywork and seat...yatta yatta yatta

bransons tanks are alittle over 2 lbs each... whats is a stock tank... 15 lbs. ha ha i hate stock tanks. **** bike gay shit.

geeto... if ya got a project... i may consider it for the riight price.... but get in line. these guys are animals and get pissed if i don't deliver. frank is going to kill me. but i am in no rush cause i hink he wants a free bee. ??? whats up with that?

word

joe.. email me with your needs. we will hook it up. you get the 25 lb tank though. ha ha

geeto

not that your project isn't interesting..... but i am kinda pressd for spare time ... my wife is undergoing treatment for cancer and i have a two year old son.

i have a limited collection of tooling for replica parts and some custom stuff of mine. but everything is for common bikes that race in our club. i have a list of crap to build for certain individuals. it has to be a part that i am interested in for personal reasons, a high payin gig etc etc to get me to bust out a custom thing. sometimes it just ain't worth it.

i could...but.......

cases are cool, but if ya laid it down, kiss them goodbye. i hate making clearcoated carbon because it is cheesy. i like to leave things raw out of the mold or paint em. 7 layers of clearcoat with wetsanding and buffing is silly for a racebike. i would rather eat glass.

i really don't have time to mold side covers cause my heart is not into 750 hondas. i build custon sailboats and powerboats all day long. so if i can't gain anything from it.. than the hell with it.

i know i sound kinda nasty, but i have been screwed over too many times cause i am too damn nice.

now if ya want stuff for your cb 350 or 450 or a 175.. now your talkin my language.

she had a feeding tube put in on wed. her spirits are high. she has about 14 days of radiation/ chemo left. after that about a month or so of recovery. then all set.

we got married in august right.. just before that she felt a lump in her neck. had a biopsy ... nothing showing up, so had a surgery scheduled to remove the growth. then she ended up having two
surgeries... full blown thyroid cancer. a whole bunch of infected lymph nodes. and 6-7 weeks of radiation therapy with chemo one day a week. awesome times

not really
