like the title says, i'll be hosting some maintenance at my house this thursday 17 july.
please send me a PM as to what you'd like to do.
as far as what i've got lined up so far, i'll be tying up loose ends on one of my buddy's minigp endurance bike and possibly wrapping up a bracket for red5 if it's not already finished by then.
if you want a beer, you should feel free to bring it, as well as if you want me to work on your bike, please bring me some too ;)
Yo Paul, got your email and sent you another one.
Let me know what materials I'll need to bring when I do come over.
Are you working on Rob's NSR?
hey paul, you want the clamptite?
yeah, that would be great, i haven't had any leaks from my res, but it wouldn't hurt to really seal it up [beer]
My girlfriend is returning from Spain after being gone for 2.5 weeks but I think I can convince her to go the 1/2 block over to your house to do a wee bit of maintenance on the bike. Plus, I could use some opinions on what to do about a couple things now that I've put on a couple blingy parts...

That ship has set sail my friend. I've come to the realization that I really don't want to mess with that system. It's just TOO DAMN pretty to cut up. [bang]

Thinking of going with something like this.

I figure if I'm going to mess with a custom exhaust I might as well make it one that's like the original idea we discussed way back when. [thumbsup]

I think we're just about on the same page Joe. If someone would be willing to fab this exhaust outlet up for me
i would buy them a beer, maybe two. [drink] ;D

Morestrong and myself have been studying this picture for over a year and thats about as far as it gotten. :(
Someone please make my dream a reallity. I'll make it a whole six pack if you can make it where i can take it on and off with clamps.
Sometimes i'm feeling stealthy and put the Termi cans back on. [moto]
nice very nice!
it could take awhile but somehting like that could be arranged....
joe: rob still has that slightly modified graves piece which could be veery cool if you got another to match...could look kinda like this: (http://www.bulletbikez.com/ProductImages/laser/laserYZFR6_06_small%20(400%20x%20300).jpg)
everyone else: if you need directions for tomorrow, send me a PM...
here's the graves piece: (http://www.gravesport.com/Products/images/fullsize/EX033ST.jpg) it's had the 2 inches or so where it clamps to the OEM header cut off and bee re-welded to a another short OEM section to fit rob's racebike, but since he got a full system he's not using it anymore, and it could be cut up to work....i've got a pair of megs here at the house if you want to toy around with any ideas for them in person...

Joe, where does that wet coaster fit on your bike? Don't drip that beer onto the pretty paint!
I'm not sure I really like it, but what about the porsche turbo exhaust tips?

HOKAY, last call for attendees/maintenance setup at my place this evening....please pm me or call if you want/need anything major done, oherwise show up around 7-ish, or really as early as you prefer, just call before you get underway....
david: i'm thinking one of those porsche tips could look OK if it were side exit like that early-model montster streetfighter system that was only available in the UK a few years back. if i can dig up a pic i'll post it up.

C'mon Dom, get with the theme dude. I've since replaced that wet coaster with a billet aluminum cup holder. [thumbsup]

Paul, I'll call you closer to 7 and let you know if I'll be able to swing by. If I do I'll bring the bling with me. Any chance that Graves exhaust will be there?
Damon: Get in line homie! I'm trying to get my shit fab'd up for free first you cheapo! [laugh]
defo bro.

You really need to "chill" out. I'm not cheap, I did offer up a two pack of Schlitz beer to the fabricator.
I'm gonna try to slide by for a couple of minutes today.

Thank you for clarifying. Not many people have where they live in their sig., and I don't know everyone well enough by name here to place them in a particular city!

Well to put it differently, you need to have your "Ducati" shit "Bilt" somewhere else. [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
Thanks for the help tonight Paul! [thumbsup] I'll get some pics up soon. ;D
Good seeing ya Damon. [beer]
Tsk, tsk, Dom. Looks like you've caught a nasty bug. :-X

Yeah, good luck with that Dom. You might have been better off developing a crack habit!
Good to see everyone, always entertaining as usual.

Damon, you're probably right... this is not the cheapest habit in the world. This could be dangerous! I think I'm gonna take a break for a bit but I do smell a tail chop a-comin' at some point in the future!
