I seen this video a few weeks ago. I was blown away. I would have been scared that the cop was trying to get me to speed and then hit his lights.

$50-$80 a wheel.
Plus paint and it varies if it's candy or reg paint.
The most costly is removing the tires and havin them put back on 70-90 for both tires each times #yikes.
It was 135 total for the rims to be powder coated. then my boy has a machine to mount them on so he let's me use it.
I suggest doin it when u need new tires.

Depends on your area too. Some cities, they charge you like $600-$800 for both.
I look forward to seeing those rims on the bike. I love the orange rims on my Repsol.

^^^^^
Is right
I suggest finding a powder coating spot ( Craig's list or known shops) n bring in ur wheels. It's cheaper if u do it ur self vs goin thru a shop if u want to save money.

you could also plasti-dip for like $20-$30, not nearly as good or durable (but holds better than you'd think) as pc'ing but not as expensive & easily can change colors, just make sure NOT to use wool sheets:
cool officer though i definitely thought the it was a trap...
says he inititally resigned but was reinstated: http://m.wsfa.com/#!/newsDetail/23970489
as long as the tank has fuel and as long as a rider can bare, which will be different depending on the motorcycle, rider, & the route taken....

really, it depends on the rider. Personally, farthest I've done on my DR-Z was 100 miles at a time. I have a friend who's prospecting for the HA and they make 300 mile days fairly easy, granted their bikes are huge.

I did about 160 miles before. Only stopped for gas. You gotta learn to work the back pegs

Got my first bike last night. 1987 honda rebel 450. Friend sold it to me for $700. Figured it'll be a good first bike. Even if I drop it, I won't be feeling too bad.
Passed the msf a month ago but did no riding at all. Tried to take it out for a spin yesterday and felt like a fish out the water. Wasn't even comfortable enough going around the block. Just rode it down my block in first gear and had to roll it back. Smh.
