Actually you're right on GenPac, that is the woman's ride. I still love it though when you drop the top in the summer and run over curbs with no hesitation.

One more pic. The monitors in my den I'm using to talk **** on.


I'll drop everything, I'm just trying to make some sort of point, but now I forgot what it was.

I just want to get to know some other cool people with Z's, help if I can and get some constructive criticism when needed. I don't know it all, but I think I know a little something. I'm the best SEO (search engine optimization) in the midwest for what that's worth on here.

Someone earlier was calling BS bc they didn't believe I would upgrade to a Z after a civic and then be able to think about buying cf rims. Well I hope some of these pictures make a few of the naysayers understand a bit. I work 24/7 and the only thing that will stop me from buying whatever I want will be finding the time to make the purchase, not my cashflow. I can post any pics you need to understand. Check the Whois info on my websites/companies, you'll see it's me. Check my network on LinkedIn.com. I'm no joke.

Here's my 2005 Buell XB12Scg, with carbon fiber and LIGHT WEIGHT WHEELS.

You see, Buell and Harley Davidson know how important light weight wheels are because they are unsprung weight and a rotating mass so they figured out how to mount the disc for the brakes to the outside of the front rim so that they could hollow out the center. Because of this, the Buell xb series has the lightest front wheel of ANY production sport bike. It's great for acceleration, wheelies and increased braking power because of the increased surface area of the front brake. Great for nose dives.


This is a pic before the CF additions...


Notice how I love my grey pocket tees, cheap and they come by the bag. They also double as a rag, tourniquet, wick to blow up some one's car by placing it in the gas tank and you'll never be called a sell-out by wearing one.

Take one more look, remember, neither of us are 21 anymore. Be gentle.

Oh wait, this is the picture share thread? I thought this was the lightweight wheels thread. I should go back to the picture share thread and discuss wheel weights. Carry on.

OP, if you sell everything you posted pictures of (including your wife's ***, though that may be a hard sell), you might just be able to afford the JGTC Z you want.
