In case you ain't noticed, even the wealthy in their Benz's and BMW's,

Maybachs and Rolls' are sporting the blackness.

Kate Gosselin, Adam Lambert and Gilbert Gottfried run silver.

Black Rimmage = the correct image for the moto scrimmage.

Word.
Exactly what flavor is the Kool-Aid you've been drinking anyway? Cool

I know, right? That black muffler would not only match my leg...it's made out of the same stuff in case I need to do any repairs during the race.

I'm thinking about doing the total opposite on my Honda. Black hubs with red rims. Haven't seen that before. Plus would look great with my black plastics and red & black graphics.

I run my brake a little low because my wrist doesn't bend up so good. You can't see my clutch lever but it's about normal.

Get a Black Sharpie.
That's funny, when I sell my bikes, I sharpie the edge (next to the tire) to make the black that has worn off look black again.

Check out my black rimmage, and hubbage(and black garage walls, "holla black!"). Powdercoated by my pops. Rear wheel is being replaced tomorrow by a black/black Excel/Talon combo, due to a major grenade situation happening back there.

" i see a red door and i wanted it painted black - no colors anymore I want them to turn

black - I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes..."


Ever noticed that KAWASAKI's KX sales took off like waffle-cakes after they

switched up to BLACK RIMMAGE ?

It's no coincidence, it's a Rupincidence. I'm fully responsible.

Anytime you see a black rim, look inwards and thank me.

I wish Excel still made the red rims. Had to settle for red hubs with black wheels for now.


I always liked the blue wheels on the Yamahas and Suzukis.

How is/that powdercoating holding up, I have a guy that will do my wheels for next to nothing, was going to do all black, and possible do spokes yellow ( RM ), or just leave them plain, just scared having it done then they look all fucked up like 3 weeks later?

I have a place in California anodize rims for me. Not cheap but they turn out great. Used to have them do yellow for me but it didn't always turn out as nice as I wanted. I'm on a red kick now.

Powdercoat held up really well. It wore out exactly the same as an anodized rim(the small ring of silver showing around the perimeter of the rim)

You being from Tennessee and all, I'd leave out the, "how I would 'rather' have a sister in a whore house..." line. It just doesn't seem like the best choice of words.

I don't claim to be a genius, but wouldn't it have been easier to just sit the rim down and take a pic as opposed to taking it while looking into a mirror? You weren't kidding about being excited ha.
