I just found a 2 inch crack on my right tail fairing. Does anybody here have any connection with good painters that can repair plastics? Its such a small crack so I don't want to be charged full price from any old stranger.

Call donald at 813-1891... He does some work for carter honda and has done some work on my bike. He is really good, mobile and cheap. I always call him or I have customers call him when they need work done on a car or bike, Metal or plastic . Tell him paul from carter honda sent you, and he'll hook you up

 

[Sewman]

Hey thanx, that was quick. Is it a business that he owns? or something that he does on the side. I just need to know if I should call during business hours or what.

 

[Harps]

I used to know a guy named Ryan, he rode a CBR 600 F3... Try giving him a call. hehe

 

[bugs]

He owns the business and he works out of his van, so just tell him where you are and he'll go there. But do make sure you tell him i sent you cause , I made sure that whoever i send him gets a little better deal!

does he just do basic stuff????..... like solid colors and stuff or would he be able to slap on a design on a helmet and stuff???...

btw, BUGS... were u able to look up a deal for that part i wwas asking about????

Hey Bugs, thanx for the info. I guess I should ask what sort of painting he does.

Right now the rear tail piece is custom with mostly silver, but with quite a bit of blue/black pearl. Will he be able to match this colors?

And also on the side.

I'm a huge fan of VTR 1000's. Hows the gas mileage on it?

Right now I'm filling up 9 bucks (11.3L) of 92 octane for about 170km worth of riding. Seems sort of shitty for a 600, but if your VTR gets near that I would be interested in eventually owning one. What are your impression?

Bugs said on Sunday he was getting 120 Kms a tank in the city, least I think thats what he said

Don't use Dirty Werks painting, the one that was advertising at Mavericks. I will reserve any further comment, but ask me in person and I will fill you in.

You must ride your 600 hard. I fill up about the same and get 200km before the gas light comes on, on my R1

 

[bugs]

thats 140 kms in the city and 200 highway. have to sacrifice fuel for torque!
Cost 9 to $10 high octane.
inregards to donald and the paint job, trust me ,this guy is good. I recommend him to everyone. He will match any colour to fix. And being mobile is cool. Call him.

 

[bugs]

By the way...that guy will be going on vacation soon, so i recommend calling asap.

I don't think its too bad. I get about 180km out of a $10 to $11 fill up.

 

[Guest]

funny, i got 175km from my last tank and it was pure city riding, complete with traffic jams and all. Pretty horrible!

 

[bugs]

Funny enough, do we actually think about how much we spend on gas when riding? I know that I am more worried about having not enough enough fuel to ride!

 

[Lugan]

No doubt. The fact that my vmax has worse MGP than a honda civic or the like is quite funny to me. Like you, my only concern is having enough gas on a long trip: 170km doesn't get me too far, so I'm thinking of buying some fuel containers from a camping store for backup. Strip the paint, and it'll look like Nitrous bottles! (not that I'm into that crap)

 

[bugs]

hey ..listen...like my VTR your Vmax has whats called ..POWER!..When it comes to that..who cares about fuel economy. All i care about is that after all the twisties and straights , give me a gas staion to fill up on gas and a relaxant!
i seem to be getting a rush from all that torque and ..i admit..i am addicted!..(ps...atomlowe...feel the force! )

 

[CG]

i'm gonna give my air filter a good clean this weekend, in hopes to improve gas mileage a bit better, and smoothing the bike out more so she breaths easier....

I can hit 230-235km on a tank until i'm bone dry empty.... usually hit 180-190km until my fuel light comes on.

 

[Sewman]

The type of gas mileage that I get doesn't really concern me unless its worse than my car.

But it's a little unnerving filling up all the time. Even though you only put in 5 or 10 bucks each time, it seems like the bike goes through alot of gas because you're frequenting Chevron all the dam time. :rolleyes

Woa, check this happy face out.

How did this go from finding a paint guy to a mpg debate.
