Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl. Post by: scoprire on August 30, 2009, 04:16:25 PM Good deal ! I saw it at the island today. Love the wing logo in place of a decal.

Given the recent heart/lung (engine/ECU) transplant and nose job (new mask/light) as well as a completely new wardrobe (paint) for your Monster -- it's still instantly recognizeable as your bike. Definitely post more pictures of it now that is done! Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl. Post by: pennyrobber on August 30, 2009, 05:56:51 PM Kick a$$. I have always admired her bike. Good to see others do too. [beer]

Soul conquers glamor again [thumbsup] Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl. Post by: 2001cromo on August 31, 2009, 05:03:19 AM Hey everyone,
Thanks for the good wishes. It's been a lot of fun at Indy this year! We're just packing up now for the long (13 hour) drive home. Michelle threw up a few pics of the bike >here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/industrialgrrrl/sets/72157622194840868/)<. It's not urban camo anymore, it's raw with clear powdercoat. Michelle spent a bunch of hours with an orbital sander polishing that tank! We brazed in sealed water bottle threads to make the wings bolt on and then shaped the wings a bunch to have them fit the lines of the monster tank. Here's a few from the above link (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2609/3873510136_588c36db71.jpg) (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3872071489_7ac3815d5f.jpg) (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2451/3872211117_fa195d509c.jpg) (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3532/3873003678_d2cd5d167f.jpg) There's a few pictures of Michelle actually receiving the award, but since she still had her camera in her pocket I have to wait a bit to get them from my family's camera. A LOT of people said they missed the urban camo... we've got enough extra tanks now so who knows. Kinda like what jacket am I gonna wear tonight... Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl.

I tried to bend mine over a pipe and it broke. :'( Also, are those Napolean bar ends and do they actually work as mirrors? I'm tired of not seeing the SUV behind me.

Kudos Michelle!!! [thumbsup] Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl. Post by: Grrrly on September 01, 2009, 05:28:23 AM We're finally back home. Thanks everyone for the kind words. [bow_down] The past weekend has been a blast, being picked to participate for the Showdown and winning one of the classes was just icing on the cake!!!
We put the "new" tank on the bike on Wednesday morning, I'll take some more photos of the bike, new tank, when I'm actually awake ;D Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl. Post by: MikeZ on September 01, 2009, 11:05:01 AM Great job and a beautiful bike! [thumbsup] [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl. Post by: Grrrly on September 03, 2009, 01:45:16 PM more pics from the weekend and the trip can be found on my blog. I'm NOT a fan of just posting links to blogs, and I normally would write a post but it's very long with a lot of photos.

can anyone tell use about those 8 spokes on his race bike? They could weight 100lbs each & I would still want em. Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl. Post by: DoubleEagle on September 03, 2009, 07:02:33 PM Way to go girl !
Nice work and great photos . Dolph :) Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl. Post by: duc996 on September 03, 2009, 08:14:39 PM Congrats [thumbsup] def should be on the boMb +1
Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl. Post by: redxblack on September 04, 2009, 07:11:37 AM nice blog, too. Sorry to hear about that dented chrome tank. That's pretty awful. I'd be curious to know how that turns out.

This was the replacement for the original which was knocked over and received a slight crease by a drunk chickie from my apartment building... and then subsequently, completely destroyed when it fell off our trailer after a trackday.. [bang] Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl. Post by: Uncle Mofo on September 04, 2009, 05:42:59 PM I was there [clap]
Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl. Post by: Markus on September 04, 2009, 06:19:39 PM Congratulations on the win, Michelle!
I saw your bike parked in the Ducati section at Indy last year. Loved the urban camo look, but the new tank finish trumps the old for sure. Great stuff. 8) [thumbsup] Title: Re: Congrats to Industrialgrrrl. Post by: motolocopat on September 05, 2009, 02:37:15 PM Congratulaitons
