Well, look at it this way...
If you took all the votes from demented, squiggy, and todd....and gave them to you, you'd be... wait... and take 3 from browningbuck... you'd be in the lead!!
On second thought... don't look at it that way...
Seriously, though...you've definately got a commanding 2nd place spot. That says something:
Either you've got a nice ride.... or you've been threatening people again... lol

It's OK though, her bike is insane. It can travel through time.
I'd be checking the official rules on flux capacitors... maybe you could get her *** disqualified... then you'd be in!!

That's a good idea. I'm gonna start a thread where I document all the people's teeth I've pulled out of my wheelhugger. If that doesn't garner some votes, then I don't know what will.

That could work...

However, you may want to make up a story that will maximize the sympathy vote.
For example, you could say that your wife just left you, your hamster died, and nobody in your family ever loved you.

Or you could make up a story about how browning totally stole that bike from a poor kid...

Then you would win for sure!!

Thumbs up Chain Lube.

I have been reluctant to post the kind of Chain lube I use. It is not just a chain lube. It does other things too. I am not with this company at all. I am not promoting this company at all. I am just saying what I use as a chain lube. It is called "motorkote" . I use the spray lube on the chain. I come in off a run and put the cane on the center stand and spray the chain. It works great and can clean the rims good too.Piece of !

Lightbulb debate

Thats why I was hesitant to put what I used as chain lube.

Aaah yes... the INFAMOUS WD-40 debate...

dietdrthunder already dropped the WD bomb earlier in this thread and didn't get any takers.
He's such a fricken' instigator!! (I got my eyes on you, dr.... that's right....EYES ON YOU!! lol.. )

I know a few people who use it, and I used to use it all the time, too. Originally, I used it on my dirtbikes (and when I first got streetbikes). Then I heard it might be hard on o-ring chains so I stopped using it (just in case) and switched to gear oil because it was recommended in the manual (I think?). Then I saw some chain wax a few months ago on a bargain table at a motorcycle dealership for $2. I thought "I know other people swear by this chit and the can says it's safe for o-ring chains... so I'm gonna try it."
It was way less messy than gear oil, so I was happy. I'm still using the same can. When the can runs out, I'll probably just go back to WD because:
1) It cleans pretty well
2) It's cheap and I have it
3) It stays pretty clean
4) I have yet to see any hard evidence that even suggests that it destroys chains.
In fact, most evidence is to the contrary. I've heard of a LOT of people that have used it religiously for years without issue.

I also found this letter from Tsubaki chains on this issue....

I think it's better to maintain your chain with just about any lube rather than just letting it go dry and dirty like many do.
