Wrecked my friends 250R today...

Lets see....Twist throttles are for people who aren't coordinated enough to use their thumb for anything else but sticking it up their...Oh, Sorry :shock:
In my opinion, and this is just my opinion, twist throttles are for whoever feels comfortable with them...I prefer them to be on my dirt bike...I dont have a problem there..Body english is different on a trike and there I like the thumb throttle....
My $0.02

I agree completely that on a trike it's just different and prefer the thumb. Especially if I'm going to be doing any hill climbing. Any of you twisters wanna thumb wrestle? Haha

man, all you guys not likin twist throttles???? what is up with that?? thats all i can stand to ride with, using a thumb throttle makes me feel like im driving a retard pussy machine...in the words of the great jb (lmao) "thumb throttles are for the weak and inexperienced"

lol i agree

make sure if you weld it to run a big bead over it with a TIG welder, then grind it down. or else it wont look flat. also use low amperage or the heat will cause the metal to warp.

cant use the TIG yet (beginning metals) only the electric arc welder(the one with the lame little rods that always find a way to sieze to your metal) ...but ill just run a big ol' godzilla weld over it and grind it down and paint it

[TRI-Zbrian]

id be carefull with that type of welding you are better off using a mig other wise you might just melt a whole in it stick welding is usualy used for thick metal

[J.D.]

Remember what the other dude said, USE LOW AmPS or you'll warp it. Also, let it air cool, don't go dunk it in water.

[jeffo208]

ahh yes the stick/arc welders. I will be dificult to weld such thin metal with it, but its possible, just dont burn holes throught it. lol (turn the amperage down,lol)

[TeCaTe_MaN]

yea, i know i was experimentating (muahahahha) with the arc...i was making it cut pieces of metal in half, there are little welding rods that are meant for welding small stuff like that, ill just use one of them...i cant use the mig either....(begining metals is so lame)

[TeCaTe_MaN]

heh...2 posts were posted during the completion of this last post by me :o

Hahah, in my welding class ,we get to do everything. Stick, Mig, Tig, OxyAcetylene hahahah!

[jeffo208]

Oh man you cant use MIG either, that sux. In my opinion its the fastest, best method of welding. lol. Tell us how it works out :-D

[jeffo208]

Oh ya, i remember my welding class, the instructor stressed that stick welding is the most used and most important. That was BS where i work we use MIG, TIG, and plasma cutting. We also have a oxyacytalene torch we use for heating and cutting. Stick is just obsolete in todays world. But hey it works!

[trikerider2oo7]

Not tryin to be mean or anything but if I were you I would just but a new one or go get one from a junkyard so you fudge up anything else.

[jeffo208]

ya thats the easy way, lol. but hey were do it your selfers!
