El capitan

i found a gallery of pics when i googled myself and didn't see a single bike.... damn!

haha, i grew up in negley. what the hell? small f'in world.

whatever man, buy it. you know you wanna go ride.

if not we need to make it happen. i see all these other people going to c-n-c's and it looks like fun.

a friend of a friend in college bought a hawk for $600. that bike got me interested in motorcycles. I definitely have a sentimental spot for them

and I see your "slow as shit," and raise you (maybe subtract, actually) 150cc.

I live near Ridge and Pearl.

we should designate a standard meeting spot in Parma for those of us who are so close. I may have missed the memo on the typical West side group ride starting location though. It could already exist.

The Tradesman is as good of a place as any (although my neck of the woods provides access to 480, and the parkway. Tpoppa lives near there as well)

i can see the tradesman from my house. haha... i want to find some roads to cruise on because quite frankly i'm outta gear on the freeway. it'll go 80 no problem but its pulling some revs.

Welcome fellow west sider. (WESSSSIIIEEEEDD!!!) That thang be sexy! Always loved the Hawks.

well i always wanted an RC51, wanna trade? haha, j/k i have always had a thing for honda twins.... it was more of a "which one" for me. i saw a hawk gt in 95ish, and though it was uber cool. i would have been happy with a hawk/superhawk/RC didn't really matter. i know they are light years apart but i love em all.

the hawk is pretty slow, which at 33 i'm fine with. i do however wish it had a bigger tank. 2.9 gallons goes quick.

That thing is teh sex! Hawt!

No...really, very nice bike. Your sure it's an 88?

thanks, i'm quite fond of it myself.

yeah its an 88, least thats what the title states...

howdy

whats up from the west side of cleveland..

welcome

ah yes not too far at all. We hit the tradesman over there every so often

yeah, i used to go there right when it opened.

another pic from the rear. disregard the temp plate, my new tags haven't arrived yet...

Welcome

nice bike

thanks!

so long as I'm in town I should be out Sunday and possibly Saturday if it doesn't rain.

Where in Parma are you? I'm usually over a couple streets from the mall area

i'm near the big gold dome church on state.

That's a great looking Hawk! Good find!

Is that an F2/3 front end?

f2 wheel on stock legs with a poorly fitting carbon f3 fender. like i said i have a vfr rear wheel, i just need to stop riding it and take the rear spindle off and have it machined.

i have always liked these bikes, and basically had to have it. its slow as shit, but its fun to ride.

hi. how much different is that from stock?

a tad, nothing crazy though. cbr front wheel and some suspension work. tbr lefty exhaust unipod filter. typical hawk stuff.

Uhh ohh, Another Parmanian.... there goes the neighborhood

the "neighborhood" was far gone before i got here lol.

Vermont? Damn lol. Did you see it on craigslist or something?

i checked the forums,craigslist, and fleabay. found the nicest one and bought it

Welcome! I'm riding in Parma all the time to head over to my dads and some friends who ride as well. I pretty much am down to ride whenever my schedule allows so just let me know. There is a ton of NEO's too that ride a lot as well

good deal! im planning on going out this weekend.

I've only seen a few of those. Where did you pick it up?

vermont.... spent almost as much getting there and back as i did for the bike.

That's a sweet looking bike. Welcome.

Wow. That bike looks GREAT. Welcome to the site.

thanks! hard to believe its 22 years old!

Hey all my name is mike, looking forward to riding with you guys. None of my friends ride so hopefully i can hook up with some of you.

current ride is an 88 honda hawk gt. i got rid of the elephant ear mirrors already, and have a vfr rear wheel waiting to go on shortly.
