Neither booze, drugs nor woman will help you forget.
Maybe some woman and a Morewood would though. :)
I got a sponsorship from morewood, so I'm riding their frames now. I did just buy an azonic DS-1 for 45 bucks on ebay, I'm gonna strip it and tig weld some gussets on it and make it a SS/park rippa.

There will always be a special place in my heart for the Imperial though.

Thanks! :D

Make sure you have a white base for fluo colors and do thin layers at a time.
When I started spraying my rims more and more it became less and less fluorescent and closer to being just a bright yellow.
In indoor lighting they look plain yellow actually, out in the sun they turn fluorescent. It's odd...

did you paint those yourself? if so, nice work.

I laid down a nice thick coat of white primer first. I really thought they would pop. I'm willing to bet that you're right about the heaviness of the layers though, I have a tendency to lacquer spray paint on and then I get drips. Maybe I'll try again this winter.

Yep did em myself.
In retrospect, the only thing i would done diff is lightly sand the existing white powdercoat/clearcoat on the rims. I was just scared to do it cause the Spank/Spike decals are under the clearcoat and wanted to save em. As for spraying till i drips, that's actually the recommended method. I went super light and about 10" from the rims, but it does make the texture more grainy...
Also make sure you let your parts cure for about 3 weeks before fiddling with them. THAT was the hardest part =D




Matt, just saw a red Imp come on ebay yesturdey ;)

This is a thread about people that have Imp's and love them and people that had them and miss them and wish they had never sold them. :(

When will we learn

Thanks,
haha haven't been to Diablo in ages.

It's BRUTAL fun on a HT :D You just gotta learn to get completely loose on the bike and more or less let it go where ever it wants. When u feel you're heading towards something undesirable (tree, cliff, etc) you lean the to the opposite side and hope the bike understands what you're trying to tell it.

He's probably out looking for a used Imperial ;)

Speaking of.
Is it weird I've been having compulsive urges to get a regular Imperial and build her up as a sibling to my SL? It'd be like riding twins. 4 top tubes!!!!
