Thanks Tsimi. Actually though, there's many parts that need to be buffed out better, but I was using battery powered drills and they just don't spin fast enough. Although I think if I spend more time on it, it'll look better. One of these days I'll get it outside to take pictures of it before the damn sun sets.

Damn, that looks really good Ryan!
I was using white toothpaste and a little bit of Zymol wax as my "compound" and then following up with carnuba. It came out looking really good on the bigger, flatter spots, but I need to spend more time around the areas that have seams and creases. I was also thinking that maybe I used my pads in the wrong order. I was using the softer spongy one with my compound and the the more dense, harder sponge for the wax.
Everyone else that's been close to it says that it looks perfect, but I did the work and see the imperfections and so it kinda drives me nuts lol.

Not really. The cold weather really bothers my foot so I haven't touched it. Hell, that top end I got from you is still in the trunk of my car unopened and I really have no intentions of doing anything with it until the weather warms up, or my foot stops bothering me. So, yeah, I'm a wimp. |

06 Aprilia RSV 1000R for 3200. Yep, I'll go sign the papers on Monday or Tuesday. Now I have to figure out a place to store it.

That sounds dirt cheap! An RSV is a real manly bike, especially that 2 cylinder sound!

I can't ride it right now because if it leaned I wouldn't be able to hold it up. Hopefully by Spring time.
And for anyone reading this that wants a bike to ride, it's not as difficult as you might think. I told my bank that I could only afford 100 dollars a month and I got a 3 year loan at 96 dollars a month. And I have crap (low 700's) credit because of a bankruptcy. Oh, and zero dollars down.
