Thanks guys, what I love most about this site is how everyone here cares so much about each other that they offer safety tips like those above, just to further the health and well being of their peers. (Or, in my case, their betters)

I only saw one other rider in the fog this morning, a Harley rider that I know from work, but he couldn't keep up with the blue rocket, I bet he was wishing he was riding a CB550 so he could blow my bike into the weeds! ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Did he have his tyre chains on?  That's probably why he couldn't keep up.

No Larry, I work in Canberra during the week, so my "ball and chain" is in Melbourne. I only see her on the weekends, which still makes my girlfriends in Canberra incredibly jealous..... ;D

Some of us would never stoop so low as to ride on Black Ice;
we ride on solid Blue Ice, which is much thicker and absorbs high-siding flying motorcyclists,
manhandling studded tired 2 wheel contraptions, ..... whom
lose traction by slowing down on the corners too much.
Some of us survived to brag about our exploits.
And we have the scars from multiple knee surgeries to impress the ladies around the racetrack
whom always had a nice cup of hot chocolate ready (for the winners only).
The losers got to eat free ice and snow.

Poofs ride the motorcycle I just picked up yesterday. A honda express 150, a roaring true man's machine, for sure.
Some dude asked to buy it as I was loading it onto my trailer.
Told him off, as he wasn't man enough to handle this monster.

I'm seriously thinking about buying this Sporty.  I mean $1500, I have nothing else to spend money on.

Plus, it's from the GREAT AMF era and bobbed, my personal favorite!

The price isn't too bad Steve but be prepared to wrench way more than you are used to. These things shake theirselves apart like nobody's business. Lot's of threadlock and nylock nuts will be needed! It has the shifter on the left also. Wait till you see the linkage set up for that!
Just occurred to me this is the BS thread. Are you being serious or BS-eee? ;D

I never owned one Terry but one of my buds had one back in the 80's and sold it to another Bud. The first guy put waaaay too much money into it but it was a good looker...........lot's of chrome and nice paint. It spent a lot of time in the shop. My other bud got it from him for $2500 (cheap compared to what the first guy had into it). Well my 2nd bud was a good rider and all but didn't (and still don't!) know a spark plug from a throttle cable. I was always working on it for him and believe you me........it was like a rock tumbler. The last straw was after a ride we took in the Santa Cruz mountains. He was riding the Sporty and me on my old Z bike along with a couple of other bikes. I saw him pull off in my mirror so we circled back around and found him there staring at a smoke show on the bike. His battery box had decided to disengage itself from it's mounts and shorted out. Found missing bolts along with a couple that were sheared off. I don't recall for sure but I think that was the last ride he took on that bike!

Yeah it's such a shame that only professional people can afford Harley's in the US, and the poor people have to settle for cheap Jap bikes, really says something about the class wars between the "haves" and "have nots". Just so sad that an American can't afford an American bike..... ;D

OK!.....even better!! That leaves me $200 I can put towards a 68 Camaro that was just implanted with a freshly rebuilt 427. My neighbor said I could have first dibs on it for $350. My neighbor on the other side said they would cover the other $150 out of appreciation for me being a cheerful neighbor!!

What a coincidence, my neighbor may be giving me a 1972 Z28 just because I make the best Margaritas on the block!  They come over and I get his wife loaded on tequila!

Stev-o just PM'ed me and said I could have all of his Kawi's and spare parts for $1700 so he could buy a Sporty he saw on CL!! 8)

Fred - that is total BS!  The price is $1500....
OK!.....even better!! That leaves me $200 I can put towards a 68 Camaro that was just implanted with a freshly rebuilt 427. My neighbor said I could have first dibs on it for $350. My neighbor on the other side said they would cover the other $150 out of appreciation for me being a cheerful neighbor!!

What a coincidence, my neighbor may be giving me a 1972 Z28 just because I make the best Margaritas on the block!  They come over and I get his wife loaded on tequila!
That's awesome Steve! I was gonna have you ship the Kawis to me but mebbe I'll just come out there to Texas and party up with you & the neighbors and pick the bikes up myself!! ;D
