yeah same here on the Halo lol

This is sick

Dope sh*tzz in my MX-5.

Push start button is the same as toyota, and now works the same as toyota. push 1 time is ACC. 2nd time push is ON. or press the brake pedal en hold button it will start. KEYLESS. All with a simple card style RFID chip. You still see the ingnition hole, but the steering lock will be gone. And a nice cover..

Yes, those are track package wheels. they house the big optional Brembo brakes

Yeah, Matt is a cool guy. We met up and put it on his car. I was immediately jealous of it when he drove away. The bright sun on that Saturday made the top look awesome. Looks like you will be seeing it around.

About that bike. I've been wanting a 250 cc supermotard style bike recently. A local place was selling brand new ones for $1000 less than MSRP, and as a promotion they were going to pay for my M class license. I was soooo close to buying it. Then I decided not to. FMII next spring FTW.

I want a rip-roaring 250cc multi-purpose bike for fun adventures. Doesn't look like its going to happen. Which is weird. In the past, if I could afford something I liked, I got it. Now I need to practice patience and restraint for bad ideas.

Rey,

It's a bad era to be Muslim, s**t's getting ridiculous!

Kyle, FMII FTMFW damn, I want it too someday, especially after riding in Toms.

250cc = gets boring quickly imo but supermotard bikes are pretty sweet

id just go one way or the other, dirt bike or street

like where your heads at tho, convertible+bike = epitome of summer fun

As much as I like import sports cars, I'm not a super bike guy. Not even a bit. If I were to get a bike its either going to be a Harley 1200 Sportster, or a supermotard. I know 250cc will be pretty slow, but the lightweight tossability and suspension travel is where its at. I could go trail riding and cruise it around town legally. Plus, 250cc engine technology is way up recently. They have super advanced head designs and put out as much power as the 400s from a few years ago.

Summer fun is what its all about. I gotta move somewhere where I can have perpetual summer.

^^ ditto on that last line....

And I would love to get into Bikes but having a friend who is paralyzed and an aunt who has had 6 knee surgeries from being a passenger on a bike, they scare the s**t outta me.

 

[EMIIspecED]

tough choice

30 mins until nitro rs4 : epicness

 

[hooked_on4]

^^ yeah it is,


Kyle, what bar do you recommend for me?


Eiither:

Hard dog ACE 1 diag w/harness bar.
Pros, full seat movement/belt retraction, easier to install, think it's like 30-35lbs
Cons, looks, not as beefy looking
Price w/padding/cover shipped $600

Bossfrog Clearview
Pros, beefy, fully SCCA approved (not like that really matters as no one ever checks) more mounting points I believe, somewhat local-2hr drive
cons, seat travel inhibiting, weight - think it's around 50lbs, harder to install, no real harness bar, they say to use diag
price w/padding/cover shipped $700 << although I emailed em last xmas and they told me $580 if i go pick it up......
