to the forum 2006DT Post up some pics of your new Ride

....But on a SLED? Yama BackFlip I wonder how much Yamaha paid this guy to pull off this stunt?

Old addage for this scenario..... "Ride like you're Invisible" ....meaning they don't see you anyways, so you need to ride like you're not there in the 1st place. Take it from a guy who's rode almost everyday, year-round for the past 20 years...... You've got to let the bloody cagers know you're there cuz they have waaaaaay too many distractions in their heated comfy cockpits, to notice anything with less than 4 wheels on it. & the more time you spend in the saddle, the more you'll develop almost a 6th sense of where these idiots MIGHT move to next Friendly tip: ALWAYS ride with your headlight in their mirrors whenever possible.....seems like the only plausible way to get their attention!

to the forum Steve That's a Sweet lookin' R1 you've got there

& Nothin' beats a bike for filtering through rush-hour traffic.... Cages aren't very condusive to that task

Clean little Bike there Tomo That Bazooka-size end can seems a bit overkill though.....especially on a 125

This guy is just not playin' with a full deck

Damn FingerPointer Pete! FYI...There's NO such thing as bad moonshine......if it's not fit for human consumption...feed it to the Bike! to the Forum Gno' Looking forward to seeing some Ride pics from the FrankenBeezer again

Nice progress so far on your RD there UrbanTiger FYI...'79 RD's are the Muts Nuts....the White ones are the fastest you know Here's mine ......

to the forum KaiBosh Nice FZR you've got there mate......like the paint scheme

to the forum DevonBoy You might be able to use the alloy end can off the Husky.....IF it'll match up to the diameter of whatever pipe you end up getting for the 4stroke lump. Sounds like a cool project .....love to see some piccies of it when you're finished.

Congrats Phil! Looks like she's off to a good start

& Your point is?......

& to think that I thought I was doing pretty good carrying 3 bags of groceries home on my Seca 400

Didn't even notice that there was a disc brake out back! Very Cool!

I've rescued a coupla XS's that were that bad before That's either gotta be one fast-growing tree.......or that poor Yam has been left there since the MFG. date

Nice Ride Alex! ......Don't expect any good comments from Pete though.......it's bit mucky for his tastes Just bought a pair of mudguards for mine How well does that disc brake work up front?

Bottom Line:......ALL Thumps have to be tended to with a spanner periocally......nature of the Beast Being an XT.....10 & 12mm spanners will tighten up most everything

Good News BlueStreak.....always good when it ends up being an inexpensive fix I used to do tire work for a bike shop & remember hearing that same thing about Avons in particular.

to the Forum Tomo Anyone contemplating getting an XT.........is alright in my book! .... I Love mine .......loads of fun

CASTROL 20w/50.......been running 13 different Yams on it in the last 20 years......Never had a prob

Tell me about it! .....just spent the last 5 months over in Bend where I saw it rain only twice while I was there .....& of course as soon as I move back to the valley.....the bottom falls out! Maybe have a look here?..... Dennis Kirk You can order a FREE metric cruiser catalog from 'em.....& they sell a variety of exhaust systems.....I bought a Kerker from 'em once with great results

Yeah....a regular Pizza-Face on that model

Not quite roadworthy yet Merv.......it seems to run well, but I'm waiting for caliper seal kits to show up soon as they need a rebuild......then just a new battery & re-up my registration....& I'll be re-aquanting my neighbors with the Ol' 2-Wheeled ChanSaw soon after & have No Fear.....as I've been dodging Tomahawk's & Arrows for almost 19 years now ..... Got a pretty good system going by now
