you have a motorcycle?

Anyone have a motorcycle they would like to post a picture of. Here is What I ride, usually pretty fast with spurts up to 155/160. I love it. It is the only motorcycle that had a functioning turbo that actually worked. When it kicked in you better be holding on. It is a Yamaha.

 

He would just be wanting to out run papa, and he might just do it some day.

 

Back in '82-'83 I was an AFM roadracer. I raced at Willow Springs and Riverside Raceway (now closed) in California. Won a couple, lost a couple. I ran open modified production class 1000cc Kawasaki (Eddie Lawson replica)

I have grown to appreaciate Harley Davidsons now. I worked at a Harley shop many years ago.

I rebuilt this bike with Baisley 93" top end (racing valves, etc) started off with branch heads - ported and polished, S&S forged pistons, andrews cam - S&S "B" carb and 2" straight drag pipes - bike was good for near 100 hp - great torque off the bottom end (low rpm) - no real need to fan the clutch for launch, just twist the wrist.

It's been sitting in my garage (in pieces) for 4 years after it was returned by police. It was stolen right out of my garage and found in someone's house a year later.

My pride and joy ~

I've ridden off-road for years and would consider myself a traitor going full street. Never quite got away from the aggressive and agile layout provided by a street legal moto-crosser. A few years back there was a company out of Europe that made a small run of 950v-twins in this style weighing approx. 270lbs, delivering 100+ ponies....NO wheelspin.....All GO!
I'd estimate 0-60.......low to mid-two's.

When you live in the Garden State.......It's survive or die!

S-U-P-E-R-M-O-T-A-R-D-!

 

No, but maybe i'll go visit these guys and see if they can set me up with one,

As long as you have about three buckets full of money they will probably fix you up.

I wish for an OCC chopper!

Willow springs can be quite windy at times. There was one race day where the wind was blowing us all over the track - it was fun! My favorite corner is, I think, turn 5? - a right hand decreasing radius at the crest of the hill turning into a sharp left to the (bumpy) back straight.

I also used to dirtbike around Victorville. I had an 1981 CR450R Honda

 

like this ronjor??

I "88" I partcipated in a twenty four hour endurance race at WS on the Yamaha team, I must say we kicked tail royally that weekend. Those were fun times.

 

I had a 1993 Yamaha XV750 Virago for years - till I got ran over on it

Used the money from the wreck to pay for most of my Master's Degree so I haven't another bike - yet

 

Key word
[MOVE] Yet[/MOVE]

 

Yup - that's the important one there

 

Found a pic of my old bike online! It was a limited production. I think they only made 750 of them. Mine was frame number 6. hehe, "open modified" means almost anything goes.

- I would have loved that. I was a guy who rode to the track, raced, and rode home on my bike (San Gabriel valley)

 

These two wheel wonders are a heck of a lot of fun

 

Fun for experienced riders. But I caution new riders. Especially not to be afraid of the front brake - it will save your life. The rear brake can lead to death for newbies.

I gave a guy CPR after he crashed into the curb around a fast left hand sweeper. He hit his lower jaw on a no parking sign and bent it to the ground. He had no lower lip and his neck was broken. When ambulance showed up I yelled, "here! take over" blood was squirting all over my hands from his mouth (what was left of it) He made it to the hospital where he died.

 

I had one of these in 1965, in it's day it was hard to catch. I used to blow the paint off of triumph 650 Bonnevilles

 

My seca turbo yamaha braking was rated 73% front wheel 27% rear. There was no way to stop with the rear only.

 

A couple of Moons ago I had a 2nd hand 56' BSA Road Rocket (650 CC). I bought it before I had ever ridden on a bike. I received about 5 mins of instruction, then off I went. The learning curve was fast and furious. Had it for a couple of years and enjoyed every minute. I don't know who had more bruises when I gave it up, me or the bike. I will say that the skills and anticipation I developed during that time still serves me well today. I just went to my desk to retreive a Brochure for the 1958 BSA's. The 650 CC Super Rocket retailed for $1062.00. Aaah, the good ole days.

Motor on, big ed

 

the old beasers were a good bike back when, put a few miles on one.
