    Rear brakes are GO !

    So the dealer that installed the new tires before the purchase of my new love evidently had a cruel mechanic. He warped her rear rotor nicely and also bent the dust shield on the other side of the rim. dust shield fixed and today I received my new/used rotor. At lunch break we installed the...

    Coffman's Exhaust

    Ordered mine today silver tips as the blues dont look right with the blue of the FJ. I like more sound out of my bikes so these are right up my ally. Also as others have mentioned if I go on a truly extended trip and am worried about noise fatigue ill just slip back on my ol trusty stockers and...

    Happy Easter

    Easter is the only one I know of, a shame when I think on it after reading your question. The park opened its gates from 5 to 6 am and admission was free, after 6 they re close so not to disturb the service official sunrise was like 7:14 am i think. after the service you can leave the park and...

    Unleash the Beast

    I once worked in a tire shop many moons ago and I had a car brought back once that the stick on weight had fallen off because I didnt properly clean and dry the area it was applied. It was my mistake working in haste but anyone can do it honestly. The real test is when a customer comes back do...

    Happy Easter

    As the title says Happy Easter to you all and all your families and loved ones. If you live in the Upstate SC or WNC you should try to come next year to the sunrise service at Chimney Rock. A truly moving interfaith service. We had music several inspirational readings as well as bagpipes playing...

    happy happy happy

    Today was a great day. I purchase my new/used 06 FJR from NO Limit Motorsports in Belmont NC. A great experience, the service was good they gave a good trade in value on my V Star and the FJR for slightly less than book value. The bike only has 4200 miles on her so lots of good times to be had...

    Rear-Ended at 70mph—I’m Done!

    So sad to hear of such misfortune events but always glad that it didn't turn out worse. I personally stay away from highways as much as possible , I know it can happen anywhere and a controlled access road is "safer" but I have a phobia of old truck tire skins. Hope you and your love ones heal...

    Greenville SC on global "does not suck" list

    Always loved the upstate and WNC area. I live in Inman SC and was raised in Hendersonville. Its painful going to work as I have to look right at those awesome mountains and a voice whispers in my ear every time .."you don't need to go to no stinkin work man, go for a ride in those hills". FYI...

    03 Colors? (Yes, I've serched first lol)

    well this is the craigslist link of the one in question. I talked to the guy and I believe he is as much on the up and up as possible but perhaps he dosent know the whole story about it as he isnt the original owner. Im going to look at her hopefully early next week for an initial look over.
