Think I found another set.....

I could pm those who said they would pay something my paypal address, then once I get $65 (I'd pay the shipping) I'll buy them. Looks like we have 5 committed so far for $10, anyone else willing to go in on this?

PM and paypal sent.
Have a nice time with your daughters Brian, We'll worry about your bike. Do you need tools?

Happy Holidays!

We got enough! Thanks everyone! Just gotta figure out where Brian wants them shipped now.

I just want to say that all of the abuse I get from my woman for spending too much time on this forum has been made null and void by this generous support for our comrade. This is the best. Merry Christmas to all of you.

IC. My favorite story about your in-laws was the one about you buying cigarettes for them. It's a sad story but a good barometric reading on their ilk.
I believe that this bee-hive of support from the forum could turn vengeful if daddy-in-law-dearest decided to mess with your bike. You meet the nicest people on a Honda but we are still all bikers. In "his" immortal words: 'I pity the fool!"

Well guys, i just sent another $12.00. Sorry I was late, but maybe you'll need it to help cover shipping to Brian. We are sure these are the right one's right? Enjoy Brian, get that thing ready for the relay in the spring! Merry Christmas guy's! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Looks like it to me, this is from his fork swap thread. Notice that he used two different rotors to begin with, a matched set should do just fine as long as they're not warped.

Quote from: Industrial Cafe on April 10, 2010, 03:37:08 PM

OK, here's what you do when you don't have a dime to spare.

First I measured the thickness of the rotors at 1 inch increments.
I started to grind them down with a die grinder and a 36grit roloc disc
Then my bit broke. I rode it around and after I broke my bit and it's better, but not fixed.

here's what's on the bench-
Just so you know, the rotors are different. One is thinner with 10 bars.
The other is thicker with 8 bars.
probably one hayabusa and one gsxr600. (who cares they're the same size) I'll end up getting replacements some day, but I want to try this experiment.

the rotors have been remeasured and marked
rotor A- (0.160) has a very thin spot, at least .010'' thinner than the rest of the rotor.

rotor B- (.179) has 2 minor thick spots that I still need to work out.

Alan F. · « **Reply #58 on:** December 26, 2010, 06:15:24 AM »

I just looked at the rotors from the auction, they have 8 bars.

Hell yeah, glad we could help out a buddy! IC, keep your head up and ride the piss out of that bike! I am so glad I was able to help someone who helped me so much in my build process, even though your over a thousand miles away! Merry Christmas, brother.

vanillagorilla · « **Reply #60 on:** December 27, 2010, 06:28:21 PM »

Any news?

BlindJoe · « **Reply #61 on:** December 27, 2010, 08:40:56 PM »

Nope, still waiting to hear from Brian.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #62 on:** December 29, 2010, 04:24:32 PM »

hey everybody, I've been so busy at work, i haven't been online.
This is great! thanks to all the members who chipped in to help. Marla will be taking me to work sooner than I thought now.
I looked at the auction, and they are the right ones.

bill440cars- the quote marks in your name make it impossible to reply to your PM's.

Interesting you mention that story cupcake-
my in-law family is not the best.
I have tons of ridiculous stories of their shenanigans.
like the one about the breaking and entering/burglary while waiting for my kid at the bus stop. yeah...
I'm happier to be away from all the manipulation and control that the family provided.

I'm not much for words right now, i'm real tired.
but really, thanks everybody.
Ima go to bed early tonight...

merry x-mas brother

BlindJoe · « **Reply #64 on:** December 29, 2010, 05:19:15 PM »

Awesome! I just contacted the seller and told him where to send the rotors. Hopefully they work out and Marla will be back on the road where she belongs. Keep us posted!

Many thanks to everyone who made this happen!!

vanillagorilla · « **Reply #65 on:** December 29, 2010, 05:44:07 PM »

Anybody got the link to the cigarette story? I am intrigued.

Glad we could help, Brian. Hope they go on easy and we can get you off that bicycle!

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #66 on:** December 29, 2010, 11:28:31 PM »

Good #$%* guys,if i was in the States i would have bought Brian something just for putting up with those arseholes. Head up Brian, you got plenty of good people looking out for you buddy....

I love this place....Well done people..

Mick

Alan F. · « **Reply #67 on:** January 03, 2011, 06:18:55 PM »

So IC should be getting Marla's new rotors sometime this week eh?

BlindJoe · « **Reply #68 on:** January 03, 2011, 10:02:47 PM »

Weeeelllll, unfortunately no

. I messaged the seller as soon as I bought them, not to send them to my address but wait until I gave him Brians, but I guess he had sent them before he saw it. He also said it was a violation of paypal policy to ship to an address not linked with to the buyer, so I guess he couldn't have done it anyways $:-\$

. They should be here tmrw and ill get them shipped by Wednesday.

Alan F. · « **Reply #69 on:** January 04, 2011, 06:13:29 AM »

I wondered if that would be an issue. At least if they're trash or poorly packed it won't be Brians problem this way.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #70 on:** January 04, 2011, 05:15:49 PM »

I got excited and started pulling the bike apart today in preparation.

Damfino · « **Reply #71 on:** January 04, 2011, 05:19:07 PM »

Did your pee-pee get hard?

Maybe that's something that's come up in the last bit. Because I bought something off of ebay once, a couple or so years ago and had it sent straight to another address, with no problem. But rules might have changed since then, I don't now. $:-\$

Spikey, I sent a little more than asked for and buddy, you can just put claim to half of what I sent and call it a Christmas present from me to you. If that's okay with you.
