speedfrk39 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I started all my bikes ( it sounded cool with all of them running at the same time ) I rode my quad up and down the street untill my neighbors called on me ?does that count ? DAMN we have the same neighbors!!!Cops came Sunday AM, They told me the neighbors are reporting me to the Home owners association this year because last summer we raised hell every morning with our bikes,and the cops can't do anything as long as it's after 9am, I say "TOO FU&%#$ BAD" the cop said "have a good day, and ride early it might rain." I continued to run all 4 bikes and even started the quad and dirtbikes LOL, f-ing HOA can KMA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I actually found a way to keep metal from touching my rear tires... I figured out a way to mount a high power earth magnet in front of the tire on my swing arm to catch debris before it ends up in my tire, and it blends in with the framework so you can't see it... now, to buy the magnet..... inexpensive too...That worked till he crossed that railroad track, which caused a sudden left turn, and he's somewhere in Kansas City now, heading West...

I lost a rear tire last year to a screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Had to help move scooters yesterday and it was a whopping 18 degrees. I figured riding a pink 50cc scooter I needed to have a "Choppers Till You Die" vest on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
