Yes, it's real. It's made for HD cycles. I saw it used on American Chopper. They were building a custom bike for the Nat. Guard. I saw that thing and started thinking about a rotary backfire going through that thing.

My wife actually kicked herself in the stomach once jumping on a trampoline. She had to tear every major ligament in her knee, dislocate the knee cap, and crush the meniscus to do it tho. Sounds like a good punishment for putting one of those on an 8.

Does the exhaust only come out one pipe at a time? If so, it is a true gatling gun. Wonder what they use to power it? Perhaps an electric motor?

No mention of it in the Mod area. He got a warning for use of inappropriate language back in November. I think many of us could have gotten a warning for that. We just never got caught.

Chet got drunk and started a stupid thread. He insulted a few people. Read through it and it didn't seem too bad to me, but I work with lots of folks who are very similar to him so I guess I might be desensitized. He'll be back in 3 day, hopefully with some apologies??? 18yo+Jack+posting on the forum=stupid stuff said. Who'da thunk it.

I read his thread and have said much worse without even a warning. Seems like it kinda depends on who sees the post first. Since it was in the lounge it was most likely Rob, who is a great guy! /sarcasm

Ok...so I just bought the OEM sirius SAT unit used from another rx8club member - has anyone installed this? I'm trying to decide whether to have the dealer install it or try it myself...not sure how confident I am in this - anyone interested in an install?

Just curious what some of you are using for brake pads - I won't be tracking or auto crossing - just need new daily driver pads that are a good value/performance choice - thoughts?
