Well, every semester during law school, I manage to start a project to avoid studying for my exams...first year, it was a coffee table...last year it was building a koi pond in my garden...this year I found out that I got the job I wanted, so no pressure on my exams.
I sent my carbs off to Srinath for a stage 3 rejet, ordered a carbon fiber wileyco (and a srinath flange) and bought the K&N pod filter. Since I had the tank and plastics off, I decided to paint. I'm working on the base color coat right now, and it's shaping up nicely. This is what I had in mind:

I need to find some vinyl "pinstripe" tape to do the yellow stripes and maybe look for some Suzuki decals. I'll post some pix when it's all done.[/img]
so your going to be a self proclaimed "big fat guy" on a john deere
now all I need is a mesh/foam helmet and a "no fat chicks" t-shirt :nana:
dude, if you got one of those giant foam cowboy hats, and glued it to your helmet, and then get a pair of overalls you whould be so cool
I just pulled my bike apart last week to check valves, replace clutch cable, etc. and thought "while it's apart, might as well paint it"... The bike was purple when I bought it - I knew that wasn't going to last long! Anyway, it's getting the flat black treatment right now. I just love plain black, no decals or anything... just like my car
haha, you had a purple bike.

spoken by someone who drives a cavalier? :lol:
haha.... j/k....
who told you I had a purple purse? anyway can you paint it black to match your Buddha Loves You car?
Hey, my Buddha Loves You car gets me where I need to go when the Buddha Loves You bike blows a clutch cable. How did you know I get so many bitches in that car??
well anyone who drives a cav is going to pick up lots of girls (they'll think he's ghey)
RIP cavaler. hello cobalt.
-ash
just got a 96 cav, nicer then my 90. loved checking out the stuff they have done with the Gen 3 cars.
chevy cars are junk. and thats not an opinion
Don't get me wrong, I agree that GM's are pieces of shaZam! - as well as every other vehicle manufactured in North America. All I said was my car is black; nothing about how good it is. The transmission in that thing has been nothing but problems since I bought it 3 years ago. My next car will definitely be an import.... That Lancer EVO looks pretty good to me.... But hey, you make the best of what you've got at the moment until you can afford something better.
