GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

...and YES, my sparco seats are still not installed due to sparco not being as great we all thought, but yea. I just got my NEW BABY today!!!!! tell me what you think (look who's lurking in the background )Now i can finally just "cruise" in the vibe.

nice bike man.

That is awesome!!Do you know how much aftermarket stuff is out there for the R6! I've seen some AMAZING R5's out there with chrome, carbon fiber everything, nitrous, L.E.D.'s, touch screen monitors. There's no limit to what you can do with one of these.Nice choice!!

looks good, but um, unless it's on fire, i'm guessing that's not an "outside" temperature thermometer.

jwalcik, what are talking about? It's always around 150 degree fahreinheit in north carolina, global warming . yea, thats the motors temp, it likes to operate from 145-221 degrees, or something like that.I was driving it around a lot yesterday on the backroads around my house, and WOW. This thing is HELLA FAST. I dont know how anyone could underestimate the power these things have . On one shift, i accidentally gave it more gas than what i wanted, cruising at like 25-27MPH, and all of a sudden i Blasted up to 65MPH in like 1.5sec . Also, 6th gear pulls are very very nice when im trying to relax I highly recommend a motorcycle to anyone that wants to go fast. But make sure to do your research and wear proper safety equipment. Im signed up for the MSF course in Nov. *arming self with knowledge*

GO YAMAHA!! Sweet bike, although I'd rather have a Warrior! But that is sharp looking!

Im signed up for the MSF course in Nov. *arming self with knowledge*you'll be amazed at how much you learn during the MSF class. i just started riding a few months ago myself. in addition to the course, after you've had a few weeks to practice what you've learned, david hough's books (start with proficient motorcycling) are an excellent resource to continue your learning.

hey jwalcik, thanks for the book recommendation. I think i will actually purchase it. From reading some of the reviews of the book, it seems like its worth the 20-ish dollars... and well, you recommended it, too. You seem like a trustworthy guy....

heh, thanks. it was actually recommended to me by my MSF instructor. i'm about 1/2 way through it myself, and it's definitely good stuff.

Beautiful bike! I've wanted a bike since I was like 5 still can't afford one I was planning on saving and getting a Monster or a Speed Four this upcoming May but I don't think I'll be able to lol.

Build up your credit and go out and buy one. I skipped school on friday to go purchase mine. Ducati's are MIGHTY expensive.... My new baby will be paid off in two years, though . Like i stated before, if you want a fast vehicle, look no further than sport bikes (just dont be stupid with them ). -they are fairly cheap-most can run a high 10- low 11 with a OK driver in the quarter mile-You can take them to REAL racetracks and go FAST FAST FAST (safely)-my friend has a 400 HP Evo, and i can keep up with him pretty easy(just a little food for thought)

awesome bike! I've thought about getting a small one (to learn on & just for runnning around town). It'll probly be a while (if ever) til I can afford one lol, I think your vibe is jealous

I think I have good credit now. Two cars, the mortgage and a few credit cards are under my name and I pay them all exactly on time. I just don't think I'd be able ot pay for it and insurance along with my other cars. And I can't let my mom find out so I would be storing it at my dad's.

Yea, i love my bike to the MAX. My girlfriend just ordered me a HID kit for my bike today.........i love her. (10000K McColloch Kit) i dont know if i told you genvibers, but my mom was recently in a car accident, and i just now uploaded the pics....She is making an Awesome recovery from one fractured shoulder, one broke shoulder, collapsed lung, fractured pelvis, fractured ribs, 1 inch wide X 4 inch long gash along the left side of her face from scalp to next to eye.She stood up for the first time today. The ***** that hit her head-on had a BAC of .21......................at 4:00pm. She suffered no injuries

p.s. that pile of metal used to be a G35. Infiniti/Nissan is the greatest car maker in the world now.

thats horrible to hear about the accident but good that shes recovering. other than the infiniti symbol on the rims i had no idea what the car was from the pics. even the one rim got ripped apart. do you know an estimate of what speeds they were going?does your mom know about the bike?

estimated speeds were around 55MPH (posted speed limit). Head-on, drunk driver merged into my mom on a two lane road.And NO, my mom does not know about my bike yet. She doesnt need that kind of stress in her current condition. She will not know about it, until she is 100,000,000 times better. Then she can yell and scream at me with little to no pain. Once she sees my bike riding habits, she will most likely be calmed down somewhat, but a parent just cant help but worry about their babies

DAYUM!!! sorry to hear that man.... sucks its a DRUNK too. i hope to god she recovers as best as she can. that car looks like a soda can through a shredder!Glad she made it out after a hit like that.best wishes!Off Topic: have you gotten the seats done yet on the vibe?

Wow...Ithoguht that was a Taurus at first. I love G35s btw My mom would kick me out if I she knew I was getting a bike. You think your mom would be that pissed?

to merzbow~Yea, my mom wont be that pissed. She will just be very worried like my pops was when i told him, maybe "alittle" more worried . I guess its somewhat similar to the feeling they had when i first started driving and stuff, you know what i mean? If your mom really loves you, she wouldnt ever throw you out of her house because of a bike. Its a motorcycle, not a murder/drug addiction to Mrizzle~I just talked with my suppliers after school today, and Sparco is being really gay about getting my stuff to me promptly. My other seat is said to be here in like "...a few weeks" (direct qoute from the sparco distributor as told to me by my friend at the shop here). Also, some of the parts for the mounting of the seat were not made correctly. I called sparco and talked with them, emailed them pics of the part, and they said it was wrong, ERGO they tell me that it is not a genuine Sparco part. So, i call up Brad from Neverenoughauto (ordered all the bracketry and mounts from him) and tell him the situation, and email him pics. I just emailed him the pics today, so he's going to talk with his distributor, because I PAID FOR "SPARCO" parts, so i figure, i should get what i paid for, right? (This is not aiming any negativity towards brad at Neverenoughauto.com, i actually recommend getting all your vibe/matrix parts through him, good good deals, and good customer care )that was long

LOL... yeah i almost needed a break!!! Sucks bout the seats though... too much money to not have everything done already! man... good luck with the seats. love the bike man

yea, mrizzle you aint kidding about the high dollars spent, and nothing to show for it...................(except for 1 seat and a bunch of bracket stuff sitting in the bonus room) thanks again, i love this bike more and more each day. Just went for a night drive under a full moon........felt great
