e-flores Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Just stoopid i guess.Even an air care flight didn't phase me.. I was like Ooh finally get a ride in a Chopper.hahaha. i flipped a car once and three months later, aka 5 days after i got my license back from my suspension, i got pulled over and ticketed for a 68 in a 35, another 3 month suspension some people just dont ever learn. i havent had a ticket in five years though, how i dont know. i have wiggled my way out of two good ones since.i couldnt ever do that to my bike though i enjoy her all to much. i have slowly been learning on how to push her in and out of the corners and drop a knee here and there. but im not gunna push it that much until i become super confident in my ridding skils. i dont think i could ever drop her and walk away sayign oh well. now to the point of this thread. my first bike....my lovely 06 600rr. i am in love and its going to always be that way, i dont think i will ever get rid of her. now i am saving up for a 1000rr i have thought about replacing the 600 for the 1000 but 1. the 600 still has enough power for me. i just want the 1000rr for the cosmetics. and 2. i could never replace the 600rr.

vectorvictor Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Well, First ride on a powered bike was a kawi or a yamaha 80 dirt bike... Stalled it the first time and the second time went straight through the gears to the limit and was hooked. Yea it was only 55 or so but i got a taste.First bike that I bought was a 75 cb550 that was trashed and beaten and was the only honda i had seen leaking oil but it was fun and then too slow within 3 minutes. That bike is stripped to the frame and is being welded and soon will be going back together as a bare bones street legal cafe bike.Second bike is the 93 VT1100 that some of you have seen and is my avatar.0 to 80 its a blast in a straight line and thats good enough for me right now but if anybody wants to trade a Ducati for it let me know...yea that means you yota!!! Bike of choice would be a streetfighter and turbocharged cbr 600rr, but I would poke an eye out and that would be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisoh Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Did you get to enjoy the scenery or were you bleeding too badly?Wasn't bleeding (don't think even internally luckily) but all I could see was the dang roof.I remeber saying to meyself looking at the roof "First ride and I can't even see out the window :mad:"Though I was shocked how fast we got to the Hospital... 5 minutes for a 35 minute drive..I remember all the nurses in the ER acting stunned.When they got the call a Motorcycle accident was coming in they started getting towels, sheets ready.... When I showed up still dressed in my Ballistic Mesh jacket and dress slacks they were thanking me up one side and down the other for having gear.

T-bone time.. First one I hit a mini van and the bike never pivoted so i ramed my hip into the tank then continued over just landing on the other side of the car. 3rd was a Malibu I think and bike pivoted and I was launched about 30-40 ft from impact, and lost conciousness on this one.

Fonzie Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Cool idea for a thread Justin!! That Monza with your Buell looks kick azz!!I see several Yamaha Seca's & Maxims on here as first timers. Mine was an '82 Yamaha Vision 550. Bought it from a former co-worker for $500. Water cooled, shaft drive, monoshock, monochromatic fender, V-twin for that nice rumble....She was definitely ahead of her time. Yamaha only sold her here for 2 years. Put a lot of work/electrical parts into her. Sold her in '05 for $750.....not running again (though she just had been a month earlier). Only got to put about 2,000 miles on her over that time 'cause there was almost always something wrong with 'er....beginning about 3 weeks after I bought her. I was wrenchin' on her more than ridin' her, and that got aggravating VERY quickly....That's why I bought a Honda this time! I've put 5x that mileage on the 'Bird in the same timeframe. Left a bad taste in my mouth for Yami'sHere's a pic of Grandpa on the outgoing, & me on the new girl .......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Cool idea for a thread Justin!! That Monza with your Buell looks kick azz!!Thanks bro. I'll be sure to pass the compliments along to my dad. Both those toys are his, he just lets me "pilot" them every once in awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Diggin the olive drab.I painted it that color cause the headlights reminded me of an old Willys Jeep. I was going to add a white start on each side but i got rid of it before i could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) thread revival monday...first bike... 5hp tecumseh minibike, huge mud tires, got the beast when I was 7. wasn't tall enough to reach the pegs, let alone the ground.I put a cement block in the yard, and learned how to stop with the peg directly above the block...LOL2nd bike, 1980 kawasaki 550 ltd, traded the mud dog to dad for the kawi, no title, but I was 12, and didn't care.third/fourth bikes late 70's cb750's first one at 17, second one at 19, the fourth had no fairing...third was inherited from dad, and wrecked, then rebuilt, but never was the same. the fourth has a crap charging system and doesn't run too great..those are my learners...(note: these are approximate representatives, not pictures of the actual bikes, same year/model, but not the specific ones that I owned) Edited April 20, 2009 by magley64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOW Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I know, that's why the signature picture is "Pork Fried Rice" I like rice. Rice is good. What I was getting at is Harley likes to think they're all American Made. And they look down on us Rice Runners. The VROD is rice too, they just won't admit it.They won't admit it because it was co-designed w/Porsche (Italy) Personally, I would rather have a slower bike that can actually corner decently and still hit 130+, and can actually stop you before you wreck!,than a bike that can't corner worth a damn or stop..Uhm, the VROD isn't really a Harley... it was designed and engineered by Porsche. FYI. That's why its water-cooled. Harley wanted air-cooled, Porsche said no fucking way.Real reason it's water cooled is because Willie G was trying to stay ahead of the EPA. At the time the Revolution engine was being developed, it was believed that the EPA was planning a ban on air cooled engines over 250cc by the year 2010. That's why Willie G turned to Porsche (again) to help w/development of the VROD. Make no mistake, I am NOT a Harley guy, I just happen to have a VROD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Green Valley Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 '79 Kawasaki KZ750LTD. I bought it for $200.00. Engine and rear wheel on frame, the rest was in a box. Had the carburetor professionally cleaned and put the rest together myself with the help of the Rice Paddy & JC Whitney.Here it is, with me and my then two year old daughter.
