My wife said the same thing. And, to get Maul put on the plate. I want to, but have a feeling eventually there will be a conversation about what my bike is named after, and someone saying, "Cool character! Too bad the movie sucked!" And then I end up in jail for whooping persons ass (again). Still tinkering with a few ideas though.

I saw that actually. Of course, no Starkiller Base Fathead yet.

Lol. Thats definitely a possibility, but I think if you go with anything SW related you'll probably get from some people "I loved SW, but the prequels sucked" , "none of them are as good as empire" and "The Force Awakens sucked". Probably going with something Vader related is the best way to avoid multiple life sentences LMAO!

 

[terp_fan99]

I like the helmet with those stickers on it. It's simple, but badass looking. Of course if you're going to customize it into a Darth Maul helmet with spikes that would be badass.

Where on the bike will those spikes go?

LMAO! I guess I shouldn't think about that so much and just do it! I've decided to go with 1138 on the plate and "STARKILLER" stickers (reflective type) where it currently says Suzuki. There's a guy who does custom reflective rim tape that looks like frikkin' Tron when lit up, so will have him customize my sticker in Star Wars font. You can see the rim tape here: http://www.customtaylor33.com/gallery/ . May still do the Poe helmet design, but not in a rush.

So far, the spikes will replace the bolts around the windscreen. I have extra coming to replace the fairing bolts along with the same spikes for bar ends and frame sliders:

Bar ends:

Frame sliders:

Yeah, my wife said the same thing. I'm really leaning towards the Poe helmet design simply because it is badass! Like I said though, no rush on that just playing around with ideas. Really going to focus on the bike itself though (besides painting stuff). Supposed to be a good few days coming up around here, so hope to get out and do some riding. Did my 1st gear test going 0-60, and did it in 3.1 seconds and still no aftermarket performance parts added. Hoping to do my 1/4 mile time test this week.

 

[terp_fan99]

Riding? It's 14 degrees and we're getting pounded with snow right now! Ha, you couldn't even think about getting on a bike between November-March around here.

Is it expensive to customize a helmet? I mean could you get two different ones done if you can't decide? You need an extra in case someone wants to ride on the back anyhow right.

I say definitely do whatever you want to do the most, and don't worry about the haters. I'm sure the helmet and bike going to look freaking sweet !

That tape looks so freaking awesome! I really wanna see pics once you get that on.

Whoo! Thats fast! Do you have a drag strip around you?

I just got pounded with snow too! It was sleeting out early yesterday and then was followed by snow. So I've got snow thats basically frozen thats laying on top of about an inch thick sheet of ice. Not cool .

That's the worst when it warms up just enough to melt a little then it freezes overnight so you're driving on pure ice! Then add a layer of snow on top of that and good luck, ha. What kind of vehicle do you have? I have a front wheel drive Camry, it's not fun in the snow.

I've got a front wheel drive Acura RSX. Its not fun in the snow either lol. Somehow they managed to plow the streets really well this time, even with all the ice, but trying to shovel/snow blow this **** was not easy this time.

Yeah, I gotta get an extra one. Mostly for my youngest daughter. The other 2 girls aren't interested. No, it isn't expensive. The bike on the other hand can be depending on what I get on there. Standalone symbols aren't pricey, but the more detail, obviously, the more pricey.

I'd ride in 14 degree weather as long as it's dry out. It was 29 not too long ago and dry as a bone, so took the bike out. These bikes love the cold. The intake just sucks that cold air in and performance is so much better. We don't get a ton of snow like you guys. If it hasn't snowed here by now, it won't at all this cold season. We do get a few days of rain, but it's usually followed up by a couple days of sunshing, and subfreezing temps. Like I said though, as long as the roads are dry.

No, but there is a track not too far. There's an industrial area we go to with a long smoothly paved road. Perfect for what we do.

Will do!

I have a red Toyota Yaris and a black one too. I'm cheap when it comes to buying cars (not motorcycles ). Besides, they run forever with zero issues. Snow driving can be a pain, but if we do get enough snow where I can't drive, most places are shutting down anyway.

Haven't you guys been getting hit with some pretty terrible rain storms lately?

I'm with you on cars, I'm going to drive my Toyota until it's dead. I've had no issues with it in 12 years so far.

Oh yeah, whenever its cold all performance vehicles always love the cold air, it doesn't matter if they've got 2 wheels or 4.

Good to hear you've at least got a spot where you can open her up .

I'm with both of you guys on cars. I've had my Acura for 9 years and I don't plan to get rid of it anytime soon. These Japanese cars just don't break.

Yup! Same here. Just passed 120k on my red Yaris (2008) and 30k on the black one (2011). No issues for me either, and even if there were, it's cheap as hell to fix these things, LOL!

Yeah, we've had some flooding and stuff down in the valley area (I'm up on the hill thankfully) but the rain usually only last a few days, and when it clears up it is usually sunny and dry for a day or 2. Like today, was sunny all day with just a couple clouds in the sky. Sadly, I couldn't get on the bike until about 1pm, and I also had to hit the gym. Had to decide on which to do, so ended up squidding to the gym on the bike just to get a rid in before it got dark at 4:30.

No doubt!

I've got all of I-5 too, LOL! Like when I go to Olympia it should only take about 30 mins, but I like to get off the freeway and get back on to work the gears. Last time I went it took me an hour and a half.

So true! My red Yaris has some upgrades (intake, full exhaust) and when it is cold or rainy out, it just hauls!

Well I guess you are lucky you still get to ride this time of year. If I had a bike I wouldn't be able to ride it from this point forward until probably mid to late April. Sometimes we get lucky and get one random 70 degree day in the middle of March.

I totally understand wanting to get back on the freeway to work the gears. On ramps are one of my favorite things. Once out it Milwaukee there's an on ramp that has a stop light that I always love to take off on, and once when I took off, I merged onto the interstate and I was right at the top of second gear and I looked and was merging right next to a cop. Luckily the top of second gear on my car is right about what the speed limit was and all I had to do was let off the gas for a split sec. That was a close call . I've gotten lots of speeding tickets in my life, but I've never been pulled over on the interstate in all my years *knock on wood* lol.

 

[Pacman9270]

Whatsup Starkiller. Hope all has been well. It is cool to still be able to view your collection. Mine has grown 3-fold since I last reached out. More Avengers than anything else. Now looking at the TFA 1/6 lineup. What's the next statue you have your eyes on?

LOL! Hope you didn't jinx yourself! LMAO! I've been pulled over a bunch but have never got a ticket in the 28 years I've been driving. Thankfully, my wife does alot of volunteer work for the city, so she knows alot of people in law enforcement, not to mention all the ones I know from the gym. If that doesn't work, I'm a pretty smooth talker, LOL!

Definitely lucky! I know alot of people in your area store their bikes for the winter. Like I said though, as long as it is dry out, I don't care how cold it is. Even if I'm freezing my balls off, just being able to ride is totally worth it!

Hey pac! Yeah man, all has been well. Not too much added to the collection thanks to Sideshows slow as crap pace, LOL! You been throwing up pics on the other site? Would love to see what the collection, and HT room looks like now. The HT TFA lineup is just awesome! It's been challenging for me to stick to my guns and just wait for PF's. I take it you saw the movie? The next statue would have been the new SS Boba Fett PF, but I decided to get the XM one instead. That's if they ever release it! May still end up getting the SS Boba though only if I can get a good deal from one of my dealers.

Any new HT upgrades lately?

 

[STARKILLER 1138]

Also, not sure how many of you play CODAW, but played a little Exo Zombies tonight and had a major accomplishment! Well, at least for me!

It definitely helps if you have someone that knows people in law enforcement, but I used to do a lot of stupid **** when I was younger, so it probably wouldn't have helped lol.

Huge congratulations! Although I have never played this game and I have no idea what you did here. LMAO!!!

 

[SithLord84]

Well here it is:

Still no preorder date anywhere in sight, but at least this looks like an actual product. I guess that means they are making progress?

LOL! Thanks man. I had to record it because if I had told anyone, especially my friends, they wouldn't have believed me. Most COD games have a Zombie mode where you fight, well, Zombies! LOL! In Advanced Warfare's Zombie maps, there are also easter eggs where you have to complete a bunch of tasks in order to unlock the easter egg and get the trophy (or achievement - XBOX) for it. One part of the easter egg on the map I was on (Infection) is luck based, so you gotta keep at it until you get that one task done. This was the first time for me that everything fell into place so fast. Most of the time, I'd be unlocking the easter egg about round 18-25, but this was the first time I had gotten it at round 9. And, TBH, I'm not sure how many other people have done the same thing, but for me it's a huge accomplishement, LOL!

Yeah, we are freinds with our chief of police, and I know one of his officers from the gym. Good guys.

I saw that right before I went to bed last night, and left a nasty comment on Sideshow. Woke up this morning thinking I shouldn't have done it, but what's done is done, and at the moment I couldn't help feel like

Wow! Sounds like you got pretty lucky then! Good thing you've got it online now so nobody can doubt the awesomeness that you pulled off .

LOL! It couldn't have been that bad. I mean they've put SW PF fans on the bottom of their list of importance. It sucks because they've had the license for so long and a lot of the purchasers of their SW stuff are a big part of the reason they are in business today. So whatever you said must have been at least a little warranted with how much they've shafted SW PF collectors. Still waiting on Lando, Qui-Gon, Mace and McGregor Kenobi . By the time they put those out, I'll more than likely have quit collecting altogether.

Well, I let my frustration get to me. Not saying they didn't deserve it. Yeah, I also feel like SW PF collectors have been given the shaft. Make more characters! Worried about too many sitting on the shelf? Make it more limited! They are trying to do what MR did. Anticipate how many to make for maximum profit, and then it kinda bites'em in the ass because they sit on so many for so long. You keep making a product that sells out in minutes, you'll keep collectors salivating for the next release. Now, we are barely getting anything and collectors are moving on.

Exactly why I did the vid. So when someone said, "Yeah! Right!" I had proof!
