anyone know how to get those crazy grips off?

 

[Lavagasm]

Those grips are a nice fit to that bike. I would leave em on if it were mine.

 

[scrumblero]

agreed, but the stem is toast and it will prolly get parted out so I need to get at least ONE off... :roll:

If those are the rubber ones with the plastic chrome piece(part closest to the stem) you can just pull that off then stick a flathead screw driver in there and squirt some degreaser and wiggle em' off.its about the only way I have found to get them off without trashing them.Hope it helps,good luck.

When you succumb to the radiation, can I have your bike? I will call it 3 Mile Murray.

Cool stuff.
Speaking of being prepared..The house next store was just sold. I got the tour from the agent selling it. Heck I lived next to it my whole life and never realized there was a cold war era bomb shelter in the basement. Bunks, batteries and civil defense supplies from the '50s and lockers full of crackers and lorna doon cookies from the Eisenhower era. It was like a time capsule.

 

[scrumblero]

you should buy it and move next door! :shock:

I'd feel alot better living over that thing... :roll:
