I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
I just finished a book that all you guys should read, if you haven't already - it's called Leanings by Peter Egan, a columnist for Cycle World. It's a compilation of stories he's written over the years. Amazing writer, great stories, and some wonderful bikes. After finishing it, all I wanted to do was get a classic bike and hightail it off on a road trip adventure.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
Im thinking about building it in AZ so I can go fenderless. Its a 750 engine so Im hoping that it can turn some seriously larger tires with a nice thick white wall.
If I ever get photo shop I might whip something up.
Cheers

I've had that book for a couple of years now but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I've always enjoyed reading his columns.

Same thing happened to me. I had to buy a sealed battery for a suzuki DRZ 400 and they wanted 175 and 150 in town at two different places. I bought one on ebay for 55 shipped

Re: Motorcycle Thread
Hey, nice bobber. I like the new and improved rake on the front end ..looks like it's doing about ninety-six miles per hour sitting there. I was wondering what happened to the seat from my brother's Sting Ray that went missing back in the sixties. Bike looks slick. I like to see out-of-the-Harley-box thinking.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
Passed my parking lot/skills test this morning!
I still have to take the road test so for now I basically still have a learner's permit but the supervision and speed restrictions are lifted. So now I can ride by myself just no passenger and no riding at night. At least I'm legal for riding to work now. I can't get the time off work for the road test until May 21 (they only book roadtests on Wednesdays  )

Re: Motorcycle Thread
Man, Two weeks ago was a sad day in my world. I sold my Choprocket. It started life as a Yamaha Maxim 650. This bike rode so smooth lots of power and just wild looking. I wish I had known you guys have MoJo cause I have a balance disorder that caused me not to ride any more. at least not the Choprocket. No front brake, long rake. Any hoo Here she is.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
Nice scoot Mike! Lack of balance is just one of our many disorders around here!! Sorry you had to let the bike go. It looks like a handful with that fork.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
some parts of that video kind of freaked me out bill. it's kind of like a man-on-man-on-man-on-bike gangbang. and not in a good way. 
the rest of it is cool.
