The Groundhog has spoken. Early spring is on the way! Of course, as I write this the temperature outside is 12. Tomorrows high is only going to be 8. If that overgrown rat is wrong I am taking up groundhog hunting.
Last year at Deals Gap I had the pleasure of meeting Bob Brown from EmpireGP. He is a really great guy who just loves motorcycles. He does plastic welding and can work wonders with busted up fairings. I knew he was my kind of guy when he told me his company motto: “Ride hard, take chances. We need the work.” He was riding a bike he had wrecked a few weeks earlier and I have to say he did a pretty good job putting it back together. His pricing is very reasonable so if you have some damaged bodywork get in touch with him before you spend the big money replacing it. Chances are he will be able to save you a lot of money.
Bob had a video camera mounted on the bike when he wrecked, and he just finished editing it. You can see the wreck and the process of repairing the damage and repainting, as well as the final result. It is pretty interesting and you can see it by clicking here. While filming themselves on Deals Gap last spring they caught a guy crashing on film. That video can be seen by clicking here. Finally, there is a video of a crash and the repair and repainting of another motorcycle here.
Since I was adding these videos I went ahead and updated the videos page on the website so it looks a little prettier now. I have also updated the links page. Check the links page often, there are a lot of really great sites there. In fact, this would be a great time to click the links for free maps so you have some nice new maps when spring finally comes around.
