freeflyguy 0 #51 February 6, 2004 Ah hell, i love em all, Still have an '84 RZ 350. Yahhoo!!! it'll stand on it's hind tail in a heartbeat, loud, spastic, smelly and a bit obnoxious. It is responsible for all the scars on my knees, and that time period in my life when all my jeans had holes in the knees. The pic is last year at the AMA Superbike at Elk Heart lake. Borrowed Big Honda twin that has no qualms about 70 mph wheelies. We even got 20 minutes of track time. It was a blast. ---------------------------- bzzzz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winsor 236 #52 February 6, 2004 QuoteMy rice burner. I had to get rid of my last rice rocket. It was too hard to keep it down to reasonable Mach numbers, and it was not so much a question of if as when and how bad. I've had two fully-tricked Grand Prix RZ Yamahas; my 350 got 18 miles per gallon and the 500 was downright evil. It was fun blowing the doors off literbikes on something so much smaller. Of course, there IS a law against such machines. These days I blast around on an outlaw shovelhead. It's still amusing, and people are afraid to cut me off (particularly when I'm in full Darth Vader apparel). Blue skies, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissMae 0 #53 February 6, 2004 I wish we would have had more girls riding when I rode. There were only 3 of us out of a group of about 20 guys take the time to appreciate the people around you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflyguy 0 #55 February 6, 2004 Quotetwo fully-tricked Grand Prix RZ Yamahas ahh, you understand then. Nothing better than than when the powerband kicks in and sends you to the moon. Fun fun, I was playing with a V-Max last year. I was pissing him off because he couldn't get away from me. I could have driven around him in the corners, but I would just come up beside him, and get my drive going for the straight away. I love that "WTF?, It is only a 350!?" look you get from guys like that. ---------------------------- bzzzz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were 2 other girl bikers in Columbus but they sucked so we never let them ride with us. All in all, on a Friday night, 50 of us would over take the freeways and tear it up!

sdgregory 0 #59 February 6, 2004 Get yourself the Bike Builders Handbook that EasyRiders comes out with every year. How I started was by buying onesy towsy parts as I could afford them and once I had a bike worth rebuilding I started fitting the parts on. You can get rolling chassis and then buy your custom bars, seat etc. that you want. Then save up for the engine and trany. Takes a while adn you end up with a butload of parts sitting around for a while but if you start with the chassi you can add stuff. Then just drop in the motor, get it running and Woohoo! Of course you need a storage unit since you are in College. I assume dorms? If not then you prolly got plenty of room in the living room. That is where I work on mine. Wife hates it.

KawiZX900 0 #69 February 9, 2004 what's left of my instrument panel from my Kawasaki ZX 900 is currently being used as my ashtray while smoking in front of my Mac think tank. Back when it was functional I had pegged it right over 160mph on the 5 S for a good long wee morning stetch....... I asolutely have to get another and get it up to Willow Springs and Laguna Seca for track dayz. Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.
