Your vocabulary is a TRAGIC fail.
Hanged is what happened to Guy Fawkes.
Hung is what happened to that hood. It's also a pretty good show on HBO.

Racist? Come on now. Have you watched the news? There's plenty of white folk who "dun learned bad english," too. My comment was devoid of racial implications - just dishing it out to whoever is serving it. (I know, you were kidding )

But, if you can't stand the heat, don't walk over and critique the guy building the fire.

I see you enjoy the bro-sports.

I've been itching to pick up a hard tail for quite some time, but finding a decent one that fits my current budget has been difficult. That and none of my friends are interested, let alone willing, to go riding.

Guessed? You guys are selling something for more than $2000 and yet have no proper information about it??

I see the reasons why members on these forums are bashing on you guys.

Thanks Lucid for verifying the real weight of the OEM hood.

So Jlevi lied about the OEM weight. I wonder if they are lying about the weight of the vorsteiner hood as well.

So can we say this is an epic failure?

BRR Racing recently put a vorsteiner hood on their 135 and noticed oil temperatures dropped an average of 20 degrees after extended track runs. If the oil is cooling down that much, just IMAGINE how much the air temperature is cooling down under the hood.
BRRacing = Fail, what do they know?
