Yup. Definitely need some rims....

Until this show, I wasn't aware that I needed any rims on my ride. Now I have a compelling urge to go out and buy some really, really expensive ones...

..and started thinking about her ass...

Then I forgot about my ass...

My ass hadn't recovered from seeing the Triump and I saw this...

Heard some wench cooing my name, turned and saw this... Not now baby, I gots pictures to be taking.

Cool Triumph at some guy's polishing compound booth... My ass hurts just looking at that seat.

Such a cheeky young lass...

Saw a couple of really fast scooters outside...

Toyota had a bike - looks like a Honda engine to me, but still looked cool with all of the Toyota shit on it. Coolest part was the stand though...

Roland Sands rolled out the same tired old shit he's been blaggin' off at shows for the past 5 years. Okay, we;ve seen them all, get some new shit! Okay, I never saw her before...

On the Show and we immediately see booth bimbo's all over the place. She wanted me, I could tell... Thanks for fuckin' up my shot, ya freakin' whale!

But we pretty decent suites, so it was hard to argue...

The bright desert sun reveals the ugliness of Vegas the next day...

Debated about postign any of this as it's not 100% bike related, bt there was a lot of bike stuff there as well. So here goes.... My bud Clint and I headed to Vegas last week to attend the SEMA Vehicle show - a trade show for those in the vehicle business. Clint owns a repair and customizing business and I customize bikes by pitching them down the road, so we fit right in. Arrived in Vegas after dark and went to our rooms... Cool views at night out our window. I think I can pee off of the balcony and hit the pool below if there's not much of a crosswind...

You might laugh, but guess where the wife and I went for dinner tonight and what I was drinking? Hoegaarden FTW!

Saw some cool ones at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas last weeek... Weird looking scooter that is a great platfrom for doing custom crap. Wonder if I could get race compound tires for it?????

I have a Honda Ruckus on my wish list - would love to have one.

Sheeit, lost count. They were only like $700 brand new. I raced them '74-'77, so I probably had about 7 of them. And then switched to Suzuki RM250's and RM370's. Bought two Suzuki's per year for about 4 years. By 10th grade I was 6'1" and weighed about 185 lbs, so 125's were just too small for me. They only had like 13 bhp at the time. Had to move up to the big bikes after that.

My fave has to be my 1973 Honda CR125 Elsinore. I was the first kid at the local tracks to have one and it really gathered a lot of attention. Fast as shit, reliable (for those days anyway) and was ready to race right outta the crate. Back then, you bought a bike and then spent a month trying to sort out all of the issues they had. Jap bikes were slow, handled like tractors but were cheap. Bultaco's were faster than stink, but boke daily and were a bitch to get parts for. Husky's and Maico's were the hot set up, but ya had to be rich to afford one. The Elsinore changed all that. It was the day that the Jap's took over motocross from the Euro's.

Nope - they ain't 'zactly forks. It's a paralever suspension. One of BMW's best features - no dive under hard braking and loads of adjustment and travel.

The first two pics in Post #43 are from Lake Tahoe, Cali. Snowy road is on the way up to Crater Lake, Oregon. The others are from Bumfuck, NorCal

That's pretty much it.
