    How do you know when you've become an Old Fart?

    That’s about right. My wife is 43 still owes around $30,000. She calls it her “life bill”

    What have you done to your XS today?

    I like that XS1100!!! I have one too and it might be my all time fave. I got it because it also was too fast for the owner. I find it exhilarating!!!

    XS Build - A Father and Son Project

    I haven’t used a front brake in a long time. Ever since I went down in a small dusty patch of gravel making a right turn. Luckily it was my roommates bike and I didn’t spill the gallon of milk I was carrying. Remember your old huffy days. Just slam on that rear brake and get side ways. See how...

    Might be a little crazy!:D It’s just a tank and a couple of fenders. I’d reserve the “guns” for larger objects like cars and boats. The metal flake sometimes requires two coats to get it even. Keep in mind If your shooting automotive paint with a gun you have to mix and measure and not to...
