I didn't know they made one side slotted rotors?  And they're extra vented!

Real or fake ones?

How's he supposed to know which you want answered with that question?

my favorite flat was when I found a nail went in head first.
pregnant dog to pull out but the plug held fine.

Here's a moto gem



Not much info, but the title says it was an SV1K that was down shifted when already at the redline. That's not gonna buff out

Whoa. 

Most mangled piston I've ever seen....

Reminds me of "sick boy" from Van Wilder..

Forgot I had a picture of this one...




My back tire by the time I found a Cyclegear in SLO when I was riding back from San Francisco to San Diego last fall.

Never saw that movie... but yeah, like they were separated at birth.

Walking the dog yesterday there was an Explorer parked in my hood with tires run bald on the street side tires. I don't know HOW people let their vehicles get this way.

Having run a tire to the chord as well - it is shocking how quick the tires go once you get low. Wear bars on the shoulders are well enough, but a center wear pit like on slicks would be nice.

I can tell ya how....people are freaking delusional when they think of how much a tire ( much less a set) costs and then factor in mounting and balancing ( not even going into the potential of an alignment and issues there )...they are generally outright sticker shocked and decide to not spend it until they get a flat...we see it here all the damn time...because they upgraded to an SUV with big wheels/tires from their old Corolla and think that the tires should be the same money...add in the brainwashing of possible pricing from bad marketing of reality from places like Pep Boys with loss leaders that don't apply half the time....

Oh you've seen my tires... no delusions about the cost of those suckers.   

But yeah it amazes me where people cheap out. A neighbor with a freaking jag and Range Roomy in the drive took weeks after I pointed it out to replace a tire on the Roomy that had bubbled on the side. I was just waiting for it to not reappear for a few days, and then do so with a brand new tire and rim after a blow out.

I have part of a piston out of a Yamaha RD at home. I'll post a picture later. makes that look usable.
