Not to mention eating coal and crapping diamonds keeping engagement rings affordable for the masses

That would be Chuck Norris.

I shot a black powder shot gun when I was a lad.  I went goose hunting and a buddy who had one.  At the end of the day you have to fire it, loaded gun in car ...

So the end of hunting is at sunset.  Firing the gun, almost knocking me over, the flame coming out of the end and my amazement of the sight,  , almost made me forget the pain in my shoulder. 

It was my one and only cool experience with a gun.  Well except for shooting a bowling pin at 2 yards with a 9mm Glock.

In other news... I found some much cheaper sources for new OEM parts for the CBR soon-to-be trackbike!  My initial estimate to make a trackbike (including the $850 Armour Bodies bodywork and Woodcraft frame sliders) was $3780.  I found a radiator for almost $150 less than the one I first found, plus savings on the other ancillaries like the throttle & clutch cables, the throttle-side switchgear, the upper cowling stay, etc.  New ready-to-track estimate including the same bodywork is now $3560 (that includes the $1960 buyback).

If I can find me some used parts for the remainder of the list, and if it turns out I don't need a whole new front brake master cylinder, I'll be able to lop another couple hundy off that total.

Soooo... what are some good options for track bodywork?  I mean, there's the flimsy $250 sets on fleaBay, but I read bad things about the generic cheap sets.  Then I see a full Armour Bodies set for $850 from Woodcraft.  Of course there are Sharkskinz, which it sounds like are the industry standard for track bodywork, and the 3 peices I'd need (upper front, lower, tail) come to $760.  To get the full set (including tank cover and front fender) would run more like $1000.  What is there in between, or is it even worth messing with?
