Some of you really need to grow thicker skin and remember, with text, you may not always get the "tone" of someones response.
I apologize for not throwing in the little smiley face :eek to let you know it was said facetiously :ltr:. Grow up and realize not everything is an attack on any of your baby soft feelings. After the last thread some of you acted like children in, I would have thought maybe you would have figured it out.
Little background education for some of you, I lived in So. Cal years ago (after I rode my Suzuki GS550 from Virginia Beach, Va. to Los Angeles, up to Portland Oregon and back to San Diego, took about 7 or 8 days total) and rode that same cycle everyday to and from school (college), 2 and a half hours one way through some of the thickest, crappiest traffic in this country (LA). I am familiar with riding on gravel, black top, concrete, snow, ice, and just about any other environment you can imagine. I put more miles on a Suzuki GS 550 in one year, back in the 80's then some of you do in 5, but that's neither here nor there, now . I don't ride as much anymore because, I do not have the time. So to imply I know nothing about what any of you may have to deal with (as far as riding), is simply uneducated, immature and an "ASSUMPTION", you know what they say about that, don't you?.
Hows that for being a "dick", Dick?
Want a suggestion for rock chip problems? Fine.
Don't ride or drive ANYTHING. Stay home, hide in the basement or closet or whatever and don't go out side.
It's a BIG, SCARY, FRIGHTENING world out there. Wouldn't want anything to "hurt your feeelings" or scratch your bike. Otherwise, what Vinny suggested is about the best bet on the market for "protecting" painted surfaces but the truth is, rock chips are just a part of operating a motor vehicle.cheers
BTW, as I do occasionally, I include this disclaimer.... IT'S MY FUKIN OPINION OR THOUGHT, you don't like it, to bad, stick it I don't really care. You will NOT pull your group bullying bull$h!t on me.
Now, have a "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy day" :devil
