If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Great, I've got one right down the street. How do you like the bike, and whats up with the blue exhaust? Does that puppy run hot or what?
 
LOVE the bike!!!
It pull like a high speed train shot out of a cannon. :cool:

The bike was in pieces when I bought it (Traded my running 850 for it.)

Filmed the last ride on it to his house before he ever saw it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax2eSHSqCIs
and the rest of the way to his house: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vFWhT9wKWU (I had never been on that road before)
At about 7 and a half minutes in, I pull into his driveway. (Left the camera on. Whoops)

It hadn't ran in over 6 years and the carbs were messed up.
The pipes looked like that when I got it...

She doesn't run hot.
Raised the jet needle .50 mm from stock and increased the main jet by 2 sizes. ;)

Currently snowing and is supposed to continue for several more days.
Probably not going to be getting much riding in.
As it is currently 35 degrees out, it is not sticking yet but, with overnight lows in the upper teens, good chance of ICE. :eek:

So, anyway, what's the next tag? Just in case. ;)

Daniel
 
Cop shop or jail house. Definately not snow. We have hot snow down here. It was coming down all day yesterday. Don't worry about it I'm sure there are others that will step up. Hint, hint.;)
 
No riding for me today. Just plowed Sunday's snow yesterday, that storm that is hitting 7081GS is coming here tonight, 9-14" expected by 6pm tomorrow. :mad:
 
Another warm and toasty day out. WAY TOO MUCH SAND on the roads from the snow!!! :mad:
It was practically DANGEROUS on the roads with ALL of that SAND! :eek:
Windy as heck but, I did see another real biker on a twin round headlight sport bike. ;)

The unhappy place to be...

Next tag is a Feed Store or Farm Supply type joint...

Get out and RIDE those bikes!

Daniel
 
Good job, the weathers too nice down here, to not be able to play. We need more year round players. I know they're out there.
 
Looks like I will be out for a bit while I wait for my stage 1 jet kit to show up from Z1 enterprises. I'm supposed to get my new progressive rears today as well. AZR is gonna give me a hand with the Carbs (I don't have that kind of talent just yet:o). Can't wait to see how she runs when I'm done. Good timing too as the weather is not that great for the next few days.
 
If no one else likes to ride their bikes (Ed, Joe, Frank, Chuck, etc.), or just don't want to play except on thekeyboard, I guess that I will just have to make the 40 mile round trip to the nearest VW dealer.
After I get some paint on the parts for the '80 1100EX clone project. The paint can be drying while I am having some great times! ;) :D

Well, I ended up riding past the VW Dealer and had some some fun instead!
50 miles later, I headed back north towards home.
On the way back through town, I found them.
They are kind of hidden on the main drag south of town.

Next tag... TOY STORE!!!!
It cannot be a Suzuki, Honda or Kawasaki Dealer.
If it is one of them, they also must sell a FUN brand as well.

Here is the Triumph/MV Augusta Dealer...

With some really nice TOYS inside. ;)

F4RR... ($29,000.00 out the door. :eek: )

Riding position on the F4RR leaves a bunch to be desired though.
Pegs and seat, would have to be back several inches for me to be comfortable.:(
If you are under 5'10" and have short legs, it could be ideal for you as long as you are not fat.

That looks nice but very uncomfortable. This might be a tough tag to get unless I ride up to Daytona. I going to have to google this one.

Daniel, just in case I ever become a stalker I did not look directly at your face.

You are still safe.

You're welcome. :)

You would have to get in line behind the weirdo's that infest the OT section in the political threads.
Those wacko's never seem to get out anyway. They only ride their keyboards and look something like this:
