Took a left turn a little fast to make the green light and drug it pretty good. A good thing I took a leak before I left the house since I wasn't carrying clean underwear. I used to grind the boards regularly on my Shadow but I wasn't expecting it this time. It was so much fun that I did it again on my way home from work. Got both sides in the s curve interstate on ramp! Love it blue star, I've been hooked for a while. I'm looking into doing something with the titanium myself maybe like what the grinder is thinking about. I kinda want to try to follow the pattern of the sacrificial metal on the bottom side of the foot board   Logged     http://www.patriotguard.org/ http://myroadstar.webs.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #512359 brown91redcam (User) Another Day In the Wind Platinum Boarder Posts: 2071 Re:Grinding 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I still have boards left on mine but getting used to hearing them grind the woman hates it when she is on the back though the titanium would be fun but I would leave a trail of fire around here its been pretty dry lately sparks would be cool though,congrats on the grinding by the way and get past the boards and you will drag frame like JD said   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #512430 kozaturf (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 593 Re:Grinding 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   The group I ride with has gotten used to me doing it, it used to scare them and I would get asked what happened when we would get to the next stop like something was wrong. Now all I get is a bunch of head shakes because they know most of the time it is on purpose to scare the cagers.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #512447 RemZac (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 128 Re:Grinding 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Well one step closer to riding out the chicken strips.....I prefer to keep them on the tires LOL Grats on the floor board grind!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #512530 blue_star (User) Better to burn out than fade away! Platinum Boarder Posts: 4714 Re:Grinding 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I had kinda forgot how much fun a little grinding is. Just on more thing to put a smile on your face while riding. It's a little bit embarrasing tho to have ridden some of those great roads in the mountains of TN and NC without ever touching a board to the ground. I was doing a little searching on the web a little while ago and found out you can buy titanium bolts on Ebay. Pretty inexpensive for smaller ones and should be easy to drill and tap the board for one. It would be a lot cheaper than the ones Fireman posted for anyone who wants to put on a light show. Think I will try it myself since I ride so much at nite.   Logged     http://s1271.beta.photobucket.com/user/bluestar825/library/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #512588 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 7885 Re:Grinding 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I used to love to watch Troy Bayliss in World Superbike. He used the titanium toe sliders on his boots, and every once in a while, he could put up a roost that would flow over the next guy's helmet! Troy had a very high win percentage, so the guy behind him was usually in second place.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #512675 Boatmark (User) Roadie fan, just blowin' down the road...

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4714 Re:Grinding 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Since I just put on the new pipes last Sat., Thought I'd check and make sure all the bolts were still tight. They were but I found drag scratches on the lower one. It's a little hard to tell but it runs from the back of the floorboard all the way to the tip.   Logged     http://s1271.beta.photobucket.com/user/bluestar825/library/   The administrator has disabled public write access.
