Car: '78 Ford, '74 Yamaha, '74 Honda Rep Power: 24 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | You should see the list for my car . I'm pretty broke at the moment, so the car just might get neglected for a while. If I start buying parts next week I'll make a thread for it. I know an excellent place for old Yamaha parts, the only problem is that it's 230 miles away. And really all the hard parts on my bike, except the headlight, are in great shape. It's just all this little stuff. I think eBay and my local Yamaha dealer should be able to cover most of it. |

Car: Too many Rep Power: 30 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | You should just upgrade to the 78+ monoshock XT, there all over craigslist , I'm personally thinking of just ripping the engine and interior out of my Rabbit (the best parts it has) and just buying a bike. I mean i love cars, but i feel the need to change crap up a bit, and so long as i have a engine/trans and interior for the rabbit i can just keep my eyes open for that prestine rust free rolling chassi that i've been waiting for.Anybody know if there is anybody who sells the protective elements in full safety gear, so that for example you could take your favorite jacket and some nicer pants (still hardy material) and add padding and such? I love protection, but i think most biker jackets look retarded, i'd rather just have a heavy, but good looking jacket that just happens to be super protective because i sowed it into the damn thing myself.

There's quite a few of them on eBay. However, most "normal" clothing is NOT as strong or protective as bike gear. Jeans will get blazed through in a second if you slide on the pavement; likewise denim jackets. Even leather jackets not intended for bike use will get burned through quickly in a slide. Ask me how I know. ![]() In addition, most non-riding clothing is not cut properly to be used on a bike. It bunches and stretches in places that become uncomfortable or can be unsafe. There are *many* vendors of motorcycle gear out there. You are not limited to looking like "Harley scum" or a Power Ranger. If you so desire, there's someone making the A-26 Bomber Jacket in bike-weight leather, cut for a rider, and you can get matching overpants - or even specially reinforced jeans that won't burn through quite so easily. Likewise, there are many more options in gear than what you probably have seen. Heck, you can even get modern versions of German WW2 motorcycle dispatch rider gear. So you're not really all that limited. And, in order to NOT get shot by my fellow bikers, I will follow the rule about "always post pictures of attractive women in motorcycle gear when discussing gear at any length" and add this: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Having problems seeing what could *possibly* be dorky about the above imaged gear....
