Here's the jist of it: I was a passenger on my friend Sean's GXSR 750, we were going WAY fast on highway 550 (that means about 120mph), and my helmet visor flipped open, making me instantly un-aerodynamic, and ripping me off the back of the bike. I tumbled 522 feet down the highway and slid to a stop across the yellow lines at mile marker 8. The guy riding behind us said I looked like a bag of trash rollin' down the highway, and he had to swerve to avoid hitting me. I ended up on my stomach, with my right arm pinned underneath me and my left arm extended out onto the road. My clothes were shredded, my helmet was f*ed, and my shoes were gone... they had all been claimed by the cement. My injuries included, but were not limited to, 50 percent body coverage of third degree "pavement" burns , which we lovingly call "road rash." To get an idea of what this means, some of my bones, tendons, and even internal organs were exposed in several places, and chunks of muscle and skin were completly missing. I lost half of my left breast (which I still am sad about). I also dislocated my right big toe and severed all the tendons in my left pinky finger. However, I didn't break any bones whatsoever. This is probably because I let myself go limp, as I just wanted to die while I tumbled on the cement. The ambulance arrived 45 minutes later because we were out in the middle of nowhere (Indian Reservation!). Once the Paramedics realized the extent of my injuries, they called the helicopter out and flew me to UNMH, where I stayed until just yesterday. So, after 8 surguries and 2 long months in the hospital, I am happy to report that I am home and alright. But, I did have to learn to walk again, and my scars will never go away, and many scars I do have. As of now, I look pretty gross under my clothes, but my pretty face survived.

Of course, I do not regret getting on the bike because you never know when something like that could happen. It was a Sunday drive, and I was sober when I chose to ride. Nothing could have changed what happened or even warned me about the problem with my helmet. I only hope that poor Sean has stopped blaming himself and that he comes with me to Vegas for my birthday. It's amazing what you can learn about a person if you simply fall off their motorcycle.

I stumbled across this on ebay. Pretty cool if you're really bored, and looks to be a decent place to get some cheap project cars.

Courtesy of Urban Dictionary:

the modern use of git r done was developed in the early 90's by hard working white males who reached a point in their life where they wanted to actually accomplish something in life... instead of getting completely hammered and rebuilding transmissions, the started doing projects that really mattered - projects like fixing the mailbox, cleaning the house, possibly even taking a few loads to the dump. This sudden surge of progress made these men feel good, like they were doing something. So, they had to have a way in their simple minds to reaffirm that feeling of getting something done. Thus, "GITRDONE!" was born. This can be said before a task is completed to motivate them, or after a task is completed to celebrate. It is also used profusely during the process of completing a task for no apparent reason which is very obnoxious and ambient. Often used with a drawn out "Woooooo!" yelling before or after. GITRDONE!
Buck: "Hey Stew, I just mowed the lawn and weeded the old ladies' flower bed!"

Stew: "GIT R DONE!!!!!!!!!!"

Buck: "Woooooooooooooooo!"

I need to plan out my calendar for this year, so help a brother out

I ordered up a 3 inch VRS piping kit so now I need a resonator and muffler to go with it. I currently have a universal magnaflow that I've been pretty happy with, but I am considering changing it up. I realize thing are going to sound different on different cars depending on alot of things, but I'd like to hear your opinions. I want something that is oval, not round, somewhat stock looking, and quiet (as much as it can be on a three inch exhaust). I'm leaning towards a Remus if I can find a three inch one, or a Stromung.

-Magnaflow part #14249. 3 inch inlet/outlet, 5x8 oval polished stainless steel, 18 inch body, 24 overall.

-Thermal Universal muffler. 81630S. SS 3 inch in/outlet 18 inch body.

-Vibrant Performance universal muffler: 5x9 body, 15 inches long, 3 inch inlet/outlet and stainless steel. They have a flatblack one on page two: http://www.vibrantperformance.com/produc...g22-23.pdf


-Stromung universal: Can't find out anything online, need to call them for specifics. I've heard good things though. http://www.stromung.com/


-Brullen Universal muffler: 14x8x5 3 inch in/out ss. http://www.ppsonline.net/brullen.htm#brullenmufflers


-Remus: Also hard to find out inlet/outlet dimensions online. Need to see if they have a three inch inlet/outlet universal. http://www.ppsonline.net/remus.htm#universal


Any input is welcome.

So guys, I need to add a clutch to my big order of parts. This should be the last order (2 orders, same time, 2 different vendors) of performance parts. There are several types of clutches availible from them and I bet there are options elsewhere. What brands/types have you guys tried and had good luck with. I really want it for street and auto-X bearing about 280hp in mind. I'll do the research into availiblity, just give me some good brands/styles.

Saw this, thought some of yoru DSM wierdos might find it useful ;-).

So now that the XR4ti doesn't have an interior, much less a stereo or places for speakers, I'm selling my system a piece at a time.

New Stuff:
Profile AP740 700 W amp, 4 channel with built in EQ, Bridgable, and in perfect condition. New is $130, I'll sell it for $70 Click here for a Pic


Q Logic single 12" Bandpass box, also in very good shape. MSRP is $90, I'll sell it for $45. Click here for a Pic

2 Boss Audio 500W 12" Subs. While Boss is not the best known brand, the subs have huge magnents, gold terminals, and carbon fiber cones. They also sound great. One is mounted in the Qlogic box, the other is brand new and has not been mounted. MSRP is $200 each, I'll sell both of them for $60 Click here for a Pic


Older Stuff:
Old school Pioneer KEH-P7200, best you could get at the time! Tape deck, Supertuner III, IDLogic, and all the good tape deck noise reduction goodies. Remote Turn on lead does not work. (so you have to wire in a manual switch, not a big deal). It's not a new bling unit, but it is very reliable, has great sound quality, and has many years left in it. Click here for a dusty Pic

6 Disc CDX-P620 cd changer or above head unit. Allows you to name the discs and it remember is, but it won't magiclaly pick up a name like modern systems. Sounds great, and could tolerate my driving with my suspension and not skip. Click here for a Pic

I'll sell both of these items for $45 total.
