This is the last time I'm going to say it. STFU.

Pablo is so much better with words than I am. Pithy and to the point.

you know i want to thank everyone here for their wonderfull  help over the several months with my bike, u certainly did give me some really good ideas, but aperantly i dont belong to this comunity, ill stick to the old fashion way of loocking on google and asking questions to my neigbour.. I will post pics of my exhaust and a sound clip when im done.

This is *exactly* what we try to avoid by trying to create a WELCOMING place on GSTwin for experienced AND new riders. Statistics show that riders who learn from their buds are not likely to do as well as those who learned from professionals and experienced riders. But I don't blame nick one bit for being sick of the garbage that's been going on.

nick, you absolutely belong in this community, and I'm just sorry that--once again--some members of GSTwin have made another newcomer feel unwelcome and as if he doesn't belong. This isn't an isolated instance; it's shameful that's it's happened even once, but for this to keep happening again and again is inexcusable.

Theres no need to go SEARCH NOOB SCUM! and start a thread about how you hate noob posts. Also particular members here get extremely sketched out by other people annoying them. We all get on each others nerves, it is part of life, but so is learning to deal with it. If someone really annoys you so much - stop talking to them or take a deep breath ...Ok im done again, third post on this sort of topic in the last 2 days. I don't believe that its just me that thinks people here have no tollerence and can't control their hormones.

Such wisdom from one of our youngest members.

Bah.. Or heavy handed, as I said in my other post. Again, semantics.

beep! beep! beep! What's that noise? Oh, it's just my sycophant sensor going off, lemme go reset that.

ummm...... anyways

if you look at that site linked to in the first post, there IS a set of sliders that fit to the F models. it requires only slight trimming according to the site, but the full slider does stick through. Of course case guards would provide the most protection, but for most F- model riders those are not an option. this set is MUCH better than just plain drilling holes into the frame. this was discussed some in another thread. they are mounted to the engine mounts (which are part of the frame), which distributes any impact over a large area. of course many would be concerned with damage to the engine in the event of a crash, but frame sliders arent designed to cause damage to the bike's engine, or a bike's frame if they are attached there. they will break before that happens. frame sliders are mostly for protection while sliding. most people put them on their bikes to protect their expensive faring from getting all scuffed up. dont think they will protect your bike from a real nasty impact. case guards are the best protection, but these are batter than custom frame-drilled sliders and much better than nothing at all....


p.s: dont leave nick I love you

[average]

  Well, if they break then they are pointless....

[Chuck]

Well, if they break then they are pointless....

The point is:
1) They don't break in a small incident, and save your fairings.
2) In a "larger" incident, they break to save the engine/frame but sacrifice the fairings.
3) In the largest incident, everything is hosed

Case #1 is better with them than without them, and case #2 and #3 are no worse than not having them (except having paid for them)

and thank center stand im making my own with my friend from a shop. chao

I would say that Miami has more bling than Atlanta.  (Miami def has more billionaires)... but Atlanta has way better riders than Miami (Miami = flat with no mountains within a 8 hour drive).   

I bought a bike so that I could ride it.  If my intent was to chrome it up and pose for pictures on it, then i would have bought a Harley... or a Hayabusa

If you're trying to bling a GS500 then all you'll get is disdain from the droves of no-helmet-wearing crotch-rocketeers that ride around Miami.  To them, its like putting lipstick and make-up on an elephant.

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

Ok, Miami probably does have more billionaires than Atlanta.

But what about Naples, the place where I've lived for roughly 16 of my 20 years? Ya know.. the city in the US with the most millionaires per capita?

Thanx to Alpha's Bike for being the model.

And I really really doubt that they'd be anywhere near as good......

i actually dont mind the way those look.  and with my bike being parked on the street where anyone can knock it over while parking their car, im gonna look into getting one.  just wish they didnt cost so much.

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

do a search in the wtb/wts forum.. someone was selling OEM suzuki Case Guards for like $60, vs. the $120 I paid for mine, shipped, fromt twisted throttle.

nick dont ever let anyone tell you . you cant do somthing . if they dont like your ideas . screw them let them be and keep at what your doing . you can bling that 500 out . you just have to be willing to put that money out there . theres a lot of ppl that dont know a. 500 from a 1000 find someone willing to paint your whole bike as a sceam  and run with it . be one of this other bikes that ppl drool over ! i would love to pait my gs . but i dont have the money right now. i'm going back to college but you better belive when i get out its all being dumped in the gs ( i also have an  01 eclipse thats on the back burner cuz of my bike ) i will have it painted then i will have motor work done . or the other way around . i want to go fast before i look good   so keep at it . if drag is your thing then cool stick with it. talk to ppl here about motor mods you can do there going  to be your best bet we have alot of motorheads here that know about it. as far as launches and getting your time down and stuff. stick to the drag community . i mean i can kinda help you with the drag. i'v been doing it for a bit . i have dragraced my gs500 ( and  i knew it would not hold  up in a head to head but its allll about bracket racing buddy ) so keep at it and keep going . if you want that fairing keep it ( i love mine . not for just looks but man it sure dose cut down on that wind )

Did anyone click the link Nick put up?  He called AJ/NGFL's BS.  He asked for a truce and the very next post is her saying no and calling him a name.

THAT is what is wrong with this forum.

I noticed that a long time ago when it was first posted. The funny thing is, it's a direct contradiction of this:

DAMMIT NICK. You know damn well nobody wants you to leave. Hell, I was just talking with AJ 10 minutes ago in the chat room, and she said she never got to see your "Let's make a truce thread" because she got banned before that, but that she would have gladly made a truce.

She saw his post and rejected his truce offer, since he's a "squid". Then she claimed she never saw the post. Not cool.
