Damn, damn, damn. I'm going to check my tires this weekend, I wish i would have seen this info sooner. I never saw any email about the spikes causing damage, or maybe i didn't read it and just deleted it. One day i noticed that the spikes were bolted down and didn't give it much thought apart from ...

I took the car over to discount tire. I had between 1-2 bad cuts and probably 5-10 smaller cuts in each tire. Surprisingly my drivers side was worse than my passenger side for some reason. Anyway, I took the pictures. I'm not really concerned about it.. like sckego said, the majority of the smaller ...

Sweet, so now when my tires need change I can just drive across the spikes a few times and get LM to buy me some new rubber for the Viper. HA! I just went out there with a coworker and found the same exact damage on my car tires. Same looking gash as the motorcycle tires. I'm going to take pictures...

get in touch with me at work and I will get you that information

I actually just received an email with all the information from facilities. They also told me they'd be sending out an aero-wide message tomorrow about the situation.

Thanks though

Interesting.. any idea who he spoke to?

I received an email the other day showing some damage that someone had received from the tire spikes installed at the exit of the main gate. I forwarded the email to a motorcycle friend of mine and upon checking his tires, he found the same damage on his front and rear tires. When I checked my tires...

Lots of my pictures came out over-exposed or under-exposed because of me trying ...

I saw Kegan at Cars and Coffee over the weekend and got some pictures of your bikes that I thought I'd share. I also happened to catch you guys leaving. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2704/4064685210_e0590fa642_o.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2510/4064691860_7fc208ab86_o.jpg http://farm3.static...

Vehicle inspection: SB 589 requires that a vehicle equipment safety compliance label be placed on a windshield, side or rear window stating that the window tinting complies with the appropriate provisions of the Transportation Code. Failing to place the required label on the vehicle could lead to a...

I posted about this last month. I'll be heading out there this month so I'll let you know how it is.

BTW I have the drive from our last cruise.. it starts at TMS and goes to Wichita Falls. Lots of nice twisties. I'll get it copied over and send it to you.. it'd be a lot of fun on bikes.

Last ride he got rear-ended. I'm not exactly sure of the specifics, but it was a new guy that I guess was out of his element. They all had to slam on the brakes and the new guy didn't stop in time. It wasn't bad from what I saw in the pictures. I'll be getting a copy of the route the day of the ride...

I'll go to this.. anyone else want to ride over?

Who: All What: Cars and Coffee GTG When: June 27th - 6:30am - 10:00am Where: Classic BMW (northwest corner of the parking lot) 6800 Dallas Parkway Plano, TX 75024 I'm going to take the car there.. I didn't go to the last one, so I'm not sure if any bikes show up. If there are some this month, maybe...

It was good seeing everyone.. sorry we couldn't stay longer.

I can help you guys set up if you'd like too. Should I show up around 11 for that?

I can show up for a few hours, but I can't bring the bike. A good friend is here visiting that weekend. I can stop by with the Vette (I read it was a car/bike thing) though if you want. I might be able to get some other Corvette people too. .. or I could have him drive the vette and I could bring my...

This was a couple weeks ago actually. I was able to pull it out and I haven't lost any air since. It was the size of a nail, so nothing major. I've been riding but I'm still kinda worried about it. Would you guys just get a new tire or continue to ride it out? I haven't noticed any air lost, so it d...

So I did this over the weekend.. this was yesterday: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3563/3451609788_8bc2f582a2_o.jpg Today I smoothed out all the hard edges so it's a nice curve. Came out pretty neat.. With the weather nice again, I've been running the bike some more. Hopefully I'll get to see you g...

I agree that you should respect the other person, but the other person should never hold you back. My girl knows that I've always been into motorcycles and cars, so while she knew I could get a more reasonable car, she was fully supportive of me buying the vette. She's also supportive of the whole b...

where is the "i'm a independent person and don't need permission from anyone to do anything because I make the decisions on how I live me life" option? That's what I'd do. A relationship is meant to compliment, not complicate. If she's not letting you be who you are, remind that it's your...

Hey DZ...does your friend have any expierence with riding at all? I bought my 03 650S used for about 3500 with 3800m on the ODO and heres the kicker...I got it on EBAY!!! I would suggest he definitly start with a ride that is used and actually has a little road rash. That way he will be more focuse...

Ya I'm going to try and push him in the SV650S direction.

As for the squid portion, I'm making sure he has all the gear before he rides

Heh, thanks for all the info. I have a thing against used bikes. I definitely understand the whole 'dropping a used bike' thing, but new riders don't know much about bikes and you're relying on the previous owner having taken care of it. I do agree that it sucks a lot more dropping a new bike obviou...

A good friend of mine from up north recently transferred down here through Lockheed. He's always wanted to ride, so we're slowly convincing his wife that bikes are ok. I've already got him going to a MSF course in the next couple weeks. We've been going to different dealerships looking at bikes as w...
