    I like the part where he grinds the grinder. That is deep! Kinda worried about the beard with all those sparks though!

    I'm sorry If I offended some of you guys. You've got to admit, that was hilarious. It looks like the vid was shot in Washington State. What do you think maximmac?

    Thanks for the advice, Mittenz, Here's one from a PCH trip a couple weeks ago. Got a lot more if you'd like to see them.

    Love you guys, really. And I'm done jacking this poor guys thread. I will keep my feelings to myself about all you guys creations.

    Ride safe and wear your gear all the time!

    that vid was just funny!, I think It is a good insight into the minds of most first time bike owners. no offense here. nice rides and wish I was there. that being said, we are experiencing an early summer here. woot!

    as for the op, I think the negative energy has sent him packing. sad but true.

    How can you tell where he is? Almost every shot is indoors! does his garage look "Washington-ey" to you, or is there some American joke I'm missing?
    Shitty buzz about turbo leaving... he hasn't posted since March 1. One negative creep ruining it for everyone sux!
    I don't wanna sound all hippie dippie new age, but we gotta support each other! If you got negative comments, go to Yahoo news with them or something! No trolls wanted here!

    The garage door with green growth on it. I've only seen it in the pacific Northwest.

    So sorry for your loss. I hope you'll be OK.

    Did you read my apology? Did you read that I will keep my comments to myself? Get over it and move on, moron.

    I think it was filmed in Portland Oregon, since that's where the moto show is based.

    This is just random forum question, completely unrelated to anything on this thread... how does one go about getting people kicked off of forums? Also, how does one indicate sarcasm? Will italics suffice?
    PS I don't think calling people names adds to the tone of an apology.

    you can use the "report" link that is in every post, then report your grievance. I agree that name calling is not appropriate on any forum.

    Mr. Matty crying about name calling.

    Don't be a hypocrite. Creep or moron, they're both names.

    If the OP has left cause of this, that's a real shame. We don't need that here.
    Good advise to all involved: If you don't have anything good to say, DON'T say anything at all.
    It's okay not to like someone's bike, but you don't need to crap all over their idea of modding their "Own" bike.

    I think you misinterpreted my comment. What I said was that name calling does not help out your so-called apology. I'm all for name calling when it is appropriate. If you are a jerk, I will call you a jerk. If I apologize to you, and I want it to sound sincere, chances are I won't be calling you names, because that is not an apology, it's a weak attempt to make yourself feel better. I will not respond to anymore of pjb's comments. It is a shame he has brought this thread down to his level. I will be sending a PM to the original poster, as I hope he returns with more pictures and progress reports.

    WOw I have been on a brief building my bike hiatus thanks to my daugher being born and the joys of a newborn...aka exhaustion from no sleep. But wow. I have never, once seen negativity like this on this site. NEVER. Its really sad honestly. Hope all those involved grow up a bit.

    I am NOT a purist and i really appreciate this posting.....i am going to start a similar project on a XJ550 and i love the work i've seen on this project so far....i'm with those that don't appreciate the moronic snobs that think not returning a Old bike to its factory original form is "ruining a bike" Keep up the good work and like i said this post is Very much appreciated by me
