I was saddened when he passed away in 2010. He was an incredible actor, writer, producer, and a true asset to the entertainment industry.

for cb750's you'll need to fab a little bracket and weld it to the frame. as for other cb models, we have yet to measure. we've made a test out of junk laying around and i'll be putting some images up in a post later today.

Very good choice, for a winner! I really like how he signed his essay "F.T.W." I would love to see some pictures of his build, and have some updates as it goes along. I love homebuilt on the budget bikes. They require some serious outside the box thinking.

2012-05-17T15:07:39.564-05:00

I wonder if any of this has to do with facebook going public next week? Just think next week, you will be able to own a piece of facebook.
I do have a facebook, but I only signed up, so that I could see pictures of my grandbrat. Within a few days of signing up, people I had not seen, or heard from in 30 years were coming out of the woodwork wanting to be my friend. Did they ever stop to think there might be a reason that they have not seen, or heard from me in 30 years? Anyway I keep my facebook open just in case there might be someone looking, for me that I might actually want to hear from.

2012-05-17T14:53:37.913-05:00

i'm with you cap'n. so many of our mates have been banned in the last few weeks (including myself) and frankly i am tired of being watch-dogged. FUCK YOU FLAKEBOOK. i posted, just this morning, that i was strongly considering deactivating my acct. in the last 48 hours i have had MAJOR issues with multiple people because of stupid shit that stupid people have posted about me and over flakebook posting my comments WAY after i made it, thus appearing as shady dealings with the opposite sex. i'm with you boss. sail the ship and i'll ride it till we sink. i bet davy jones won't bitch about nipples, camel toes or half naked pinups. in fact, i have a few pictures i'm saving for the glorious FUCK YOU FACEBOOK day. they will be quite spectacular and i will go out in a fabulous, and risque, way.

what i wrote to fb: i have been "banned"...

2012-05-16T23:45:11.417-05:00

what i wrote to fb:

i have been "banned" for a week for two images that were posted either months or years ago, and which seem to be suddenly dragged out.

first, neither image sported nudity. flesh? yes. no genitalia, no nipples, nothing of the sort, so i wonder what was "wrong" about them. is a belly button "nudity" now?

secondly, i demand to know who is "reporting" these violations as the photos are in "friends only" folders.

i can give you entire groups showing images much more risque than what you continue to ban me for.

besides, the links i get from facebook to my 50,000-readers-a-month blog is 1% of the total. i am willing to take my group (bikerMetric) and my page and delete them for this, and past hassles.

thank you;

Trent Reker

well, with emails and wastebook replies, it's 8-0 for the blasted finish. thanks, folks.

peace out, metric motherfuckers!

2012-05-16T04:10:22.449-05:00

i prefer the new dull finish ones; how many of us on bikermetric are building show bikes? not me. and like u said, a guy can always buff them out if they want 'em shiny.. also it looks like the countersink for the set screw should be deeper so the screw is flush or slightly sunken.. i personally dig the aluminum pegs; a black andonized or powdercoated outer would look bitchin with the contrasting aluminum center.. that would be a cool option.. nice job, capt'n.. -jed k.
