you guys should get a room

This is the second time you post the same exact message. Last time when I was having a debate with endodoc.

Argumentation in internet forum is normal, and I am willing to participate as long as it help me grow my knowledge or when it is a matter of principal or honor.

Of your last 15 posts, 4 of your posts are "sarcastic" directed to me, however, somehow, you still like to read my thread or posts.
why is that? is this somekind of a love/hate relationship?

Whatever it is, as I said above, I am here for my enjoyment (FIRST). Because, I don't see any value or benefit (for me) from reading your posts so I put you on ignore too.

edit: and if you decided to response to this post of mine, before you do that, you need to remind your self to book a single (not double) room for yourself since I won't be there hahaha

There is no black plastic as it has all been replaced with carbon so it makes no sense when you look at the bike. It’s a random bit of black plastic. Looks much better colour coded. You should be able to get it painted cheaply. By the way did I mention my wife has huge tits, I own a lambo and I have an apartment on the Thames

We still need proof on the huge tits....

Good news, the EARL'S Professional Flaring Tool Kit Part# 001ERL finally arrived,

UPS just delivered them around 8:30PM and again the UPS delivery person is driving his own personal sedan as a reminder that this is a tough period for American !

Earls 001ERL Earls Professional Flaring Tool - 37°, 45°, and DIN Flares w/ Bench Mounting Flange
They cost $494.95, so pretty heavy investment, but hopefully they will last for my live time amateur application

Here is the picture:

The bad news is, I still need to wait for one more tool (The Tube Straightening Tools) to arrived from EARL'S so... I still cannot start my rigid cooper hardline replacement project...
well, hopefully the Samco hose arrived from Demon-Tweek UK by next week, at least I already have the UPS tracking number for it
Oh... and the Motocorse steering stem cover finally ship today and hopefully I can start anodizing those suspension brackets/links and many more next week...

hmmm... but what am I going to do (for my bike) this weekend then ???

 

[endodoc]

Hmmmm, rigid copper hardline. Since you already have the plumbing, I guess you could install a kitchen sink. You’ve done just about everything else. Other than that? I don’t know, drill out the tires to reduce rotational weight? Maybe Raul will come through with the ....s, who knows.

I’m calling bluff on the ....s

Yea, it’s not looking likely. I think Howard damaged the poor guy and now we all suffer. No ....s. Way to go Howard.

 

[DucatiKev]

Yeah yeah u guys drooling over the ....ies, what happens when she turns out to be a “they”

Will the hard brake line be insulated from heat?

Lol. I want to build a boat from a pair of silicone tits and titanium put it in my lounge and then let people admire my engineering skills. I want to use a 3D printer to make a cutting edge anchor system that will never be used and the seats from a metal I made back in 1982 when Valentino Rossi used to be my tea and coffee maker in the office. I have lots of friends, my wife is also a good cook and I have been to outer space 3 times. By the way I cannot share any info due to liability. Your boat could sink so I do not recommend you sail it. Look at it at home and sit on it. Shout out “aye aye captain” and “Scotty I need more power”. I am the best, I am the best.

am the egg man
They are the egg men
I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob

I still have 6 things (high expenditure) that I really want to change on my bike... (this is outside the never ending ProTi upgrade)...
the first 4 things are for sure... one is about $1k more or less, the other one is a $1.5k gamble (guessing game) that I hope I will win, otherwise, I will be disappointed but that's ok, just need to modified it a bit and still 75% win...
then $700 for some fancy bracket and finally another $1.5k to be an amateur paint correction/ceramic coating guy...

the last 2 things... well, one things I have to buy any way but the model depend on the other things, this 2 last things will cost between $2.5k minimum to maybe $15k maximum... however, most likely I will just go with the $2.5k option...
I mean the $15k one is a "high maintenance" type... so not sure if I want to have a high initial cost then still have to live with a "high maintenance type", plus it will need some custom modifications and/or even replacement of some parts that I already bought... I have done complete measurement few weeks ago... and it's doable and it will look the part... but for $15k... hmmm, will see... no, I shouldn't...

actually, there is a 7th thing... if someday Ducati and Akrapovic issue an official under-seat exhaust ala 1299 FE or ala 916 with an official Ducati factory tune...(not interested in aftermarket tune) now that is a must...

Yeah yeah u guys drooling over the ....ies, what happens when she turns out to be a “they”

Yes, DucatiKev, the hard brake line (on some area) will be insulated from the heat with official Goodridge heat insulator, it should arrive with the Samco next week (hopefully).
However some area of it will be exposed because I will mirror polished those cooper hard line

 

[Raul1976]

I want to melt condoms cook them in a pot and make a seat. It will be the lightest seat in the world. It will however never be used. I will admire it when I come down the stairs probably at night when I get a drink of lemonade. Wow I’m the best!

 

[DucatiKev]

sadly, we will not be seeing a custom Ti V4 under tail exhaust by BMW :/

 

[Raul1976]

Have I told everyone about the time I came up with the IPHONE idea but Steve Jobs came into my lounge and stole it. That was back in 1932. I’m a big owl with pink eyes! You are all crazy!!!!! I used to own a Ducati Dealership! Here is a picture of me! I’m the best! I know you did not ask but I felt compelled to tell you all as I want to help you!! You neeeeeeed my help!!! Please be me friends!!!!!!

I was initially thinking of buying the SC Project WSBK Full exhaust system
WSBK Full exhaust system
then replace the 2 end muffler with the Akrapovic muffler from the 1299FE, you know so it look as an Akrapovic,...
but it just doesn't feel right... having a Frankenstein system like that... not proper, and what about the tuning... because I want my dashboard to show "Racing EVO" that I believe can only came from official Ducati/Akrapovic Up-Map...
so small things like that stop me from doing the above... plus, I really hate if after I spent money for this Frankenstein system, only to see Ducati/Akrapovic finally offer their official under-seat system....
I mean Akrapovic did have the prototype for the last year Barni's bike... they just have to produce it...
I even try to lobby the Akrapovic US market manager a few months ago

oh, and the carbon heat shield with the SC project logo for the rear manifold just look... cheap... picture below... I don't like it:

 

[DucatiKev]

We should petition Akra for a full under tail system.

but you do already have a nice exhaust on your bike. I do quite like the under belly exhaust, maybe it’s nostalgia but to me, that’s a feature that makes Duc look special to me

 

[Raul1976]

I spent 5000000000 on bolts. Did I mention that! I am so good!!!please admire me and be my friends!

I have a T shirt with a “1”on it and helmet and boots made of Gold and Titanium. I will sit on my bike with all my gear on. I used to ride but it’s too dangerous so I will do this instead. By the way Karl Fogarty has put out a restraining order on me as I kept sneaking into his garden. Don’t worry he is my friend but loves me too much! I will build this bike for him! I will follow him! He will learn to love me! I will make him love me!

They're “hot”

 

[Nadsy]

are these the ones called “GP exhausts”? If so, why do they all have the mesh at the end?
