Guy B., love the last three photos of Weimer, especially the very last one!

And thanks for fixing my password so I can log-in on my regular account instead of FB.

The one with the caption "Twitter updates while wearing head phones" is Nerd isn't it ?

I thought he quit RacerX because he didn't want to do twitter stuff.

Thanks Guy B! Pit Bits is my favorite feature.
Keep an eye (or lens) on the factory Honda subframes, ok?

Thank you for the pictures, awesome quality as always.

I got a simple question:
Why is the cotter pin on the pointed upwards instead of the flanged side of the footpeg pin? I would turn it around so the footpeg pin wouldn't fall out in case your cotter pin fails.

Why would they do it like this?

Easier access to the cotter pin

why would Kawi ever spend money to build there own exhaust systems when there are a few very good companys that would give them free ones that are probably better. Crazy stuff going on over there...i think Mike Fisher has lost his marbles.
Why ever even leave PC...very weird!

Less chance of the split pin dragging in ruts & getting damaged or ripped out. I never have understood why some people only bend one leg & leave the other sticking out in the breeze like that.

Hint: The "outside vendor" they are using has a factory for flying machines.
