You've gotta be pretty smooth for that. If it was easy, we'd all do it.lbsaxman;263038 wrote: Man I can't thank you enough , the paint job is way more then i ever expected !! Ill send you some of the girls on the bike to your email !!

In all honesty, thanks for the heads-up. It is very easy to lose messages this time of year, they are coming in so many forms these days, it gets tough to match screen-names with phone #'s, with real names ect (FB messages, a dozen different forum PM's, emails, texts, calls),
You guys should have return mail.

DAM D Swens! Those look beautiful! The first ones shown are mine, thanks to my generous brother's Christmas gift! I'll post pics once I put them on but I can already see you did an amazing job! Super excited to get those bad boys on the bike.
And as much as I hate to admit it, my brother's plastics look pretty sick.:congrats:

Wow, they look awesome! Both sets for a Beemer? I know you have one, did your brother get one as well? Didn't he have an RC51?

Great question Judy! He was scared sh@tless after he did CSS with me and saw the advantage I might have on the Beamer so he bought a 2012 a few weeks after the school. He's added an exhaust and Ohlins so he assures me I'm toast in 2013 (I have the 2011 unmodded). We shall see! Happy almost Friday! :cheers:

I'm glad to see your revisionist history continues (a common affliction to the youngest sibling). . .
I believe the exact situation was:
you: "well you may be four seconds faster on the same bike, at the same track, set up the same way, on the same day, learning the same techniques, timed by an objective third party. . .but in two weeks at NJMP, I'm going to be faster than you because you'll be back on the RC-51 and I'll get you in the straights"
me (in my head): "I'll still be faster than you on the RC-51 but I'll be PISSED if I bin it trying to prove it. . .hmmmmm, if ever there was great excuse to buy a new motorcycle. . ."
me (out loud) "well then, I may just have to bring a gun to a gun fight. . .you know, just to keep it fair"
Judy, in all seriousness, the real reason I picked it up has nothing to do with speed (that vid going around of the 250 ninja rider spanking the liter bikes at Laguna Seca is a perfect example). . .I had the opportunity to question Keith Code and a couple of his coaches directly about the difference they saw with the switch from zx-6's to the S1000's - he said there was a 40% reduction in crashes from the switch (the coaches anecdotally also confirmed) and we saw two go down that were put right back in the rotation for the next session . . .the bike I rode had 17000 all track miles (in less than a year) and they said that the bikes have been incredibly reliable with only basic maintenance. . .at the end of the day, my brother and I's goals are always the same. . .have fun, be safe, get just a little bit smoother. . .we get to spend all day together doing something we love. . .and our parents even have begun to support it because they know we use their house as our base camp so they get to see us (actually, it's really - they get to see the grandkids). It may have a lot of HP but what sold me was the fact that it may help increase my chances of going home safe (nothing's guaranteed but I'll take all the help I can get
. D-SWENS - SICK SICK SICK!!!!!!!! you truly are an artist brother!!!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM IN PERSON!!!!!!!
