It's a stupid thing from GiP. The dunson dude is funny but he's trying to be serious which makes it even more funny.

I'm just saying he's not poor. He's a multi-millionaire. He works for Victory because he'll work for anyone. And that's cool with me, short of rediduals it's how he makes his living. And he's very wealthy.

Here's a wiki list of some of the companies he works for: Ermey is an official spokesman for Glock firearms, Tru-Spec apparel, Tupperware, Victory Motorcycles, Hoover, SOG Specialty Knives, and the Young Marines, and has also appeared in commercials for Coors Light, Dick's Sporting Goods, GEICO and pistachio nuts. He can also be seen giving a service announcement for Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas, demanding that viewers be quiet during the film.

Anyways, here's a pic.



I had no idea he endorsed Glock. Now I want to buy one even more because R. Lee Ermey does own.

Is this a good first bike?
Does anyone have a link to the vid of the parking tax protests in Britain a few years ago? Searched all over but can't seem to find it anywhere and pretty sure it was posted here. It had a guy eating a sandwich in the middle of an intersection on his bike and a lot of British drivers yelling at everyone. Everyone in NJ is complaining about the EZpass price increasing 50% so I thought it be nice to show people what real "Americans" would do.

Best I can find are these but they're not that exact vid (they're still awesome though):

I love all of those things (except Coors, and I currently have Progressive).

I'm really sad that GL didn't start out as a ratty bike. They took a perfectly good first year and ruined it.

I'm kind of in the same boat with that. Want to make a rat bike that looks like its been through hell? Thats fine, start with a bike thats been through hell, it will be less work for you.

Pristine originals should stay that way in my mind, they're a finite resource.

I agree. I still like the bike though. There's actually a lot of work that went into the bike, especially the tank. But yeah, it would've been nice to use a not pristine bike.

I find that one a little puzzling.. Is it a motorcycle or a bicycle? Because if it's a motorcycle the dude was riding like an idiot.

And what was the whole thing? The guy in the car passed him and threatened to kill him? All very confusing without knowing the vehicle.

I remember an antique car show where a guy rode what looked like a 30s-50s Harley to it, and at the end of the day he was kicking it to head home and I was standing near him taking pictures of all the fancy cars that were leaving. He had to kick it for like 5 minutes straight, and most of the time it wasn't even sputtering like it wanted to go. Then I put my camera away on my 50s BMW and started it with 2 kicks and rode off :smug:

We still need a :smug: for BMW.


That's why my Harley is electric start.

My 35 year old Yamaha enduro however, starts first kick, nearly every time.

well depends on what they're made of... if they're brass I suppose they'll be alright but for carb BODIES, he's hosed.
You really shouldn't submerge carb bodies in cleaner like that anyway.
Depending on the carb, you're going to wind up with air/vacuum leaks if you do.

Because you'll most likely forget about irremovable or irreplaceable things like the felt rings around the choke dowels (like those in Keihin carbs). Or if you have more modern carbs, any little plastic pieces will get fuckered as well.
