No more wrecks, okay?

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Eph 4:29 (NIV)

Quote:
Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

That's actually my plan.

I'm going to flat black the whole thing this week, ride it for a bit like that then my friend is going to do a carbon fiber wrap over that.

Re: Back on two wheels again!

Is there some sort of computer program that takes into account the curves of the panels? Or is the wrap flexible enough that it doesn't matter and easily accommodates the curves? I've been tossing around an animal wrap for years.

Curious.

I really have no idea. I have a friend who owns a business that does this. I just tell him my idea and he'll make it happen.

I do believe that the wrap is flexible and it really doesn't matter. I think it kind of shrinks to fit everything perfectly. Check out his site if you get a chance - lots of REALLY nice cars on there that he has done (Ferraris, Lamborgini's etc).
