Yeah, I want that jacket for my bike! LOL!

That would be perfect! Now you gotta get a Poe Dameron helmet somehow.

There are actually quite a few 3/4 helmets that could be painted to look like it. I'm tellin' ya man, the costume designers totally had motorcycle helmets in mind when creating buckets for TFA.

I think you're right. The Rogue One helmets too.

It's an untapped market I tell ya! FWIW, they are doing it with frikkin' Marvel though:

That Iron Man one is awesome though! I just wanna buy that and wear it even though I don't have a bike LOL.

Just wear it in your car, LOL! I've actually done that a couple times when I dropped the bike off for service at the dealer.

I did a google search on Star Wars motorcycle helmets, and I saw that someone at Rebelscum made a Poe helmet already.

Whoa! That looks pretty cool for a custom job.

Me and the kid out yesterday on a ride:

Awesome! Good to see you are sharing the enjoyment of the bike .

Oh, and I'm sure by the time you read this you will have already seen it, but here it is anyways:

LOL! I did see that actually. Frikkin' geeked out all over the place afterwards too.

Yeah, she's hooked on riding now. Told her I would look into getting her a Grom for around here.

The guy did exactly what I would have done to a helmet. He even used the same manufacturer. If he were to sell that helmet, I'd buy it.

Also, made a couple vids today. One kind of reviewing my new windscreen, and another of a little photoshoot. Nothing major, but still fun:





Almost forgot, here is the Vader jacket:

First off, I'm loving the jacket! I think that will get even more attention from people being worn on a bike, other than if someone was just walking around with it on.

The windscreen looks really cool. How much have you spent on mods so far?

Let's see:

Exhaust $241
Windscreen $90
Spike Bolts $30

And, I have some of that highly reflective rim tape coming which was about $40. So, haven't spent alot really. That'll come though when I get the cat deleted, a new Toce exhaust put on, and get it dyno tuned.

Yeah, I've been wearing it on and off the bike, and have got recognized a few times, LOL.

Thats not too bad so far. How much is the Toce going to cost? I wish I was more familiar with bikes so we could have better conversations LOL!

It's all good man. If it makes you feel better, I did finally decide to name the bike Maul per your recommendation. Everyone seems to like it. Just need to order the plates now. The Toce exhaust is $785. Not sure what the labor will be to install it since it means cutting off the catalytic converter, but the Dyno Tune will be about $200-$300 and getting the ECU Flash will be another $100. The good thing is the bike will perform at its peak after that which makes me very excited because it performs so well now. Anyway, here is a link to the exhaust if interested.

Yes! My persistence has prevailed .

That exhaust looks really nice. I'm sure it will sound great too, especially with the cat removed .

It definitely has a unique sound. Kinda like the Suzuki GSXR's do. You just know when you hear it. Sounds like an angry dying goose, LOL!

Yeah, I just kept thinking about it and thinking about it, and decided that would be the way to go.

"OMG Is that a dying bird I hear?"

"No don't worry, that's just Lou going by" LOL.


I just read the Kylo PF has been pushed back to March/April PO at the earliest. Apparently LFL didn't approve the way something was on the piece. Its supposed to be on display at the end of March during WonderCon.

F'ing knew it! LMAO! It was probably due to SS being cheap on materials, and LFL finally said, "No!" You can't charge our fans these insane prices and give'em crap tailoring and materials." LOL! Any idea what the issue was?

HAHA! It's kinda hard to explain. One guy actually made a video on it. I'll try to find it. I did hear back from the Dyno guy, and he quoted me a price of $449 for a tune and ECU flash. He was very enthusiastic, told me exactly what they will do to the ECU, and said the difference will by dynamic. Will probably get it done by April/ May since I have to ride for a couple hours to the place to get it done, and weather right now is too unpredictable.

I love hearing how enthusiastic the guy was. That tells me he's really into bikes and knows what he's talking about. I hope the performance upgrade from the tune will be insane.

LOL. I would love for it to have been LFL putting their foot down on SS's corner cutting. I'm not sure what it was, but I'm hoping if the piece had an awkward pose or huge ass base, LFL was like "he never looked like that in the movie, fix it!" LOL. I have a feeling whatever this issue was might end up delaying this even further though. I also heard the Sandy PF should be up for order in the end of March. Still no word on Jango, or that new Maul that was teased last year.

A friend of mine said that someone from SS said Jango is still coming. I guess the proto is done? I can't remember. Happy to hear about Sandy still coming. But, TBH, that one is the lowest on my list especially now that my hobby budget is being spread thinner. Still not sure about getting the new SS Boba, but will definitely get Vader and Kylo. Still kinda seems like things are slim from SS as far as their non- 1/6th stuff. I wonder if the new Maul will be based off how he looks in Rebels.

Yeah, he laid it all out of exactly what the mods will do, and how I can video everything to put up on my channel, and that was without telling him I had one, LOL!

LOL.

Man, I can't believe its taking this long to see Jango. That must be so low on their priority list that they just don't care. And I hate to say this but their SW PFs just don't sell as well as their comic license PFs. Looking at how low Cody's ES is there clearly isn't that much demand for a minor SW character, and since they've done most of the main characters already (at least from the OT, we know they just don't care that much about the PT, I still want my Qui-Gon PF dammit lol) I guess they are just putting almost all priority into comic stuff instead of SW PFs. Thats why it would be a perfect time for XM to get a world wide distribution license for SW .

As far as Boba goes I'd just stick with the first one. The ROTJ outfit is the better of the two anyways .

I have a feeling the Maul will be from Rebels but by the time he's up for order they will probably have another TV show out altogether LOL.
