Thank you for the new desk top image!!!

Ok, i was going to keep this from you guys so no one stole my idea's for my "F" bike but i just had to show it.....



Ain't she pretty......Right click and "view image" for a larger view....

Gsxr wheels and swingarm?

Its the only pic i could find but from what i see we have a Moto guzzi front fairing, later model Gsxr wheels, possibly a GSXR modded swing arm {750}, CB1100r aluminium tank, showa shocks and possibly forks, flatslide FCR carbs, brembo brakes and more. She's a beauty....

Which 750 would you buy.. Well go figure, the 69 cb750 is way ahead of the other newer bikes..

dont get me wrong i love our bikes here but this article is biased on cc's the kawls had an answer of  the 900cc not to long after the K1 and i dont even know about the other big two.. just an observation though... i do believe the KO is the best of the them but i beleive the article is setting up a straw man

[Zaipai]

You could be right thegabrielj, I looked at all of them and tried to be honest with my self and I still choose the CB. Mostly I think because I am getting up there in age and the CB is a nice smooth ride and easy on up keep. Even the style is some what timeless. I have been watching the stats to see where it goes.

Owned both bikes and i can honestly say that i have been able to make my honda's handle lots better than the early Kawasaki's. I had a couple of mates that hated my old K2, it had an 836 kit and 29mm Mikuni's on it and it ate the old Kwaka's, especially in the twisties...

[Zaipai]

Yeah, I think Honda really got it right with those bikes. Most of the Honda's today seem to lake the soul the old CB's had. Well that is my thought anyway...

They redesigned, improved.. but SUCKED THE SOUL out of HONDAs in late 76...

i apologize for the quality of the pictures, i'm still trying to figure out my camera.  plus shooting under fluorescent lighting can be a REAL pain sometimes to ge the color right!!!  here's some from the Dallas Motorcycle Show yesterday:  

This is me and my amazing girlfriend in a Ural.  yes, Ural had a spot there and some REALLY cool bikes!  most expensive one was only 15K!!  NOT too shabby!!

this was the best looking bike at the show...  oh wait, what bike?  i was distracted by the best looking girl!!!  she was SUCH a good sport!!


Another selection of AWESOME bikes, lots of them were restored to better than new shape!!  these are truly drool worthy!!!
















Ok, now some of these customs were just completely over the top, but just incredible engineering went into them...  i probably dragged the gf around these 10 or so bikes for an hour snapping pictures and examining the attention to details...  if only y'all could have seen them up close, i wish i could have 1/10 of the talent of ONE of these guys!!!






This one blew me away, one of my top two favorites at the show!






And this was my other favorite!





along with this one!!   i love a well done girder springer!!  







pretty sure this is a TL1000 motor in here





CB 1000R!!!  Honda America rep informed me this will make its way to the states soon.  replaces the 919 and comes with ABS standard.  AWESOME bike!!  

These were at the ton up booth, i don't know if the CB belongs to anyone here, but i'm pretty sure it's got a Benjie tank and seat combo as well as one of his oil tanks, looks pretty decent if you ask me.  nice little touches here and there i noticed.  






Gotta love some italian sex on wheels!!


hey Rob, you getting any ideas???  i hope sooo!!!  


VERY sexy here!!


i thought i liked the all black 848

until i saw the white with red framed 848!!!

ohhhh desmodromic valves....  how you will forever allude me!



new daivel, VERY different approach for modern Ducati...

VERY large top...

FAT ass!!!  notice the fold away passenger pegs?  VERY cool!!



anyone want to do some VERY fast all terrain riding across the desert???


Some VERY custom paint on some very tricked out bikes.  not my style, but some of the touches to detail are incredible!  i figured Ron would LOVE the metal flake on the mexican bike!!


















this is the allstate bike.  mostly boring, but the carb setup was VERY trick along with the pipes being somewhat cool!




this is a ROLL UP ramp.  the wide one will support 1000 lbs without support rods, 1500 lbs with.  weighs 55 of less lbs all together and comes with a trailer hitch mount that it bolts to and allows you to just roll it down and up when traveling.  GREAT product!!  


Of course Fairless was there with some of his hippie crap!



Jason Britton was there.  not the best show, but still very impressive!



Random other race bikes and customs:

[the technological J]

holy crap is that a joke? theres no was im clicking all those... isnt there any way to image them?
 dude you need to put [/img] infront and in back of each link.. please!

[wannabridin]

dammit!!  google's images have always worked when i tried to embed them before, guess i have to fix it...

doesnt seem like the [/img] is working...  i've tried all others ways i can find with no results, this way i did it has always worked before!!

[Flying J]

Works fine for me. You just have to go through your post, highlight each picture link and then hit the "picture" button next to the youtube button. and youll get this.

[wannabridin]

thanks for the help!!!  i had TOTALLY forgotten that button was there!  enjoy!

[strynboen]

 cb 550

[Grnrngr]

dude you need to put [/img] infront and in back of each link.. please!

Actually...you need [img]  (without the slash) in front, and (bracket) /img (bracket) at the back..that's code for  start image...stop image, same with quotes...no slash to start, slash to end..[/quote]..makes it look like this....

enough about coding...back to the gallery please..and thanks for the pics!!!

If the paint they use for those strips is anything like what we have here in the States I'd be more than a little uncomfortable taking a corner at speed.  The paint they use here in the States is slick when it's dry and darn slick when it's wet!

I was thinking the EXACT same thing!
