It's your car man but there is no benefit to doing it so why muck with it It's one of the oldest ricer mods in the book.

I have to share this here because its in SA....totally wack. I passed him at about 80...realized what his car said/had painted on the side and slowed down to wait for him and he blew past me at like 95.....I think it was all his car had because it took him like 2 miles to catch up. I love america

Oh wow. It is sad that SA has contributed so much to the "what not do to your car" thread. I have posted some winners there.

The scary part is that I have posted some really bad ones that i took locally and yet there are still a couple that I have seen that are far worse than even that cavalier but I just couldn't manage to get a pic.

Good to hear . Too many oblivious people out there, I basically ride as if no one can see me. Ah a Harley hater, I'm at 16 k with nothing but maintenance. With as many as there are on the road there will inevitably be horror stories. Wow , I doubt I'll make it to that many counties but I take her out every chance I get.

Ha never heard that one b4. I'm not into the big body fat boys and such, I like the chopped down sportsters. Mines an XL-R so it's actually higher than the rest = much more fun in the twisties.

Ehh the TB bypass can leak if you don't do it right.

If you need any help with anything just shoot me PM man!

99% of Harley owners are posers, it annoys me. I'll take a Ducati 1098 any day though.

Saw this on Live and had to comment!

My bike is the opposite of my car. I cruse slow and watch out for cars. Turns I take in the 8 at 75, I take on the bike at 40. I have had it above 75 maybe twice. I like to lay back and enjoy the wind.

Yes the bike makes me way more nervous than the 8.
