I know it's been the ROTM for almost three weeks now, but I think this ROTM deserves some enhanced recognition. Pits is a constant contributor to lively discussions on the forum. If that weren't enough, she obviously fricking loves her bike. It's pretty rare to find a member of the fairer gender that is so into this stuff.

Congrats on your bike Pits. It looks sharp.

I'll tell you what, I think it's the rim stripes that really set that bike off. I'm starting to consider them for myself.

When I was shopping for a bike I saw a yamaha R6 in all black with a red rim stipe. I about crapped, I thought that bike looked awesome. But unfortunately it was made by yamaha so i didn't buy it. I'm wondering how i could get a similar look on mine.

Thanks for the link. I think I've heard that somebody makes these in 4 pieces for each wheel so that they're easier to put on. I'm looking for them.

congrats PitsV, not very often does the F4i mop the floor with the RR's but it all comes down to how much time u spend on your bike that makes it all worth it. Very nice bike, and hopefully we will see more F4i's in the running next time.

Thanks all...I do love my bike and I've had it since June and have already about 3K miles on it...

Kiggy check out Rev's page for what the rim tape looks like on a RR.

Me too! Got mine in early June of 2005. I bought from a guy who owned it for 2 mos and put 600 mi on it. I've put almost 3000 on it since. I had to drive from Columbus to Pittsburgh to get it though, and found it on Ebay of all places. I ultimately didn't buy it through the auction, but wouldn't have found it if it not for Ebay.

Anyway, I looked at Rev's rim stripes too. The pictures are a little deceiving, what color are his stripes? Are the red, they almost look reflective. Where'd you get them from? Do they come in different in widths?

I sound like a little kid with all these questions.... by the way, why is the sky blue?

His are red and they are all reflective. I know he bought mine on tapeworks (more expensive) and his were on some other site. I'm telling him to tell you...LOL...I don't know about the widths...wait for his response...

kiggy the rim tape i got for the RR is from here: http://ridesafer.com/store/category/5wm0/Reflective_Accessories.html

compared to tapeworks.com application is a lot more easier...y...well the one i got for my girl has a clear coat peel you take off while trying to apply it around the rim at the same time..mine it doesn't..the quality is good too..pits was harder to put on..ask her yourself she did it...

Thanks for the info Rev and Pits. I'm probably not into the reflective so much, and it seems like the tapeworks brand is a thick stripe, maybe 1/2" or so? I'm liking the pin stripe effect, so I'm trying to find on that's 1/4-3/8".

By the way, Pits seems to know her sh!t when it comes to bikes, and she's doing all these mods herself. Next you're going to tell us that Pits' idea of a perfect evening is to sit home, drink beer, and watch SportsCenter of the Speed Channel. She doesn't happen to have any sisters or cousins in the Columbus, Ohio area does she?
