Ya co worker is a moron, plain and simple *L*

Hence me telling him he can go to the hospital and I'll have the chic on the back on my bike. It's one thing when you're doing that kind of stuff as an exhibition and everything is roped off, medical personnel on stand by that kind of thing. Quite another to do it in a parking lot with other people's vehicles or worse, going down the road.

Doing a "wheelie" on a bike,or a burnout in a car has nothing to do with power!If you know how to drive a bike or a car,either is very easy!It's also very stupid unless done for a reason.Yrs ago,at the Drag Strip,I lost a race by
2/100 of a second!I must have burned the tire,too much,when I shifted my Bike.At the strip,you only burn your rear tire,to make it stickier(word?),so that
it will get better traction.
Aqua-Just do what I used to do-Bring the Bike home & when your wife says to take it back to the owner,tell her it is with the owner.I never bought a used Bike that I couldn't make money on.The last one,I bought in a coworkers
barn.It was apart.He bought it new,when in the service.He was a helicopter
pilot.It was a 70 Triumph!(Yrs ago)Some 70's had soft rings & Triumph would
pay for a 10thousands overbore,new pistons,rings,etc.I paid him $25 or $50
rebuilt it,painted it,rechromed some parts & sold it for $1800. Irish :irish:

...wheelies?....burnouts?....even when I was a kid, it was me buying the tires..

I think I could lift the front wheel in a wheelie but I sort of believed it was handy should I want to turn...little things like that kept the front wheel on the ground...

...I still cruise on my '79 Goldwing after thirty years of touring this great country of ours...I wonder, if I tried, could I get a wheelie off of her....well....I don't wonder too much, I still buy the tires and I still don't see the need to waste rubber and the ability to make that sudden turn still keeps that wheel firmly in contact with the road...and a smile and an ounce of charm is all I need to coax a female to share a ride with me...=)

...as for the chick who craves to be on the back of a rocket bike...go with God my adventurous child...=/...<smile>

I saw Lord Snow talking about riding to the PAGAN next year and was wondering what kind of bike he rode and then, is there a thread for that here.

A little search revealed this thread.

I have an 02 Honda VTX 1800C. I like the lines and the look better than most bikes. Love it.

That's actually the bike I was looking for last year. Only I wanted the new years model. Turns out they don't make them anymore. I started out on a 1995 Honda Shadow VT1100c, but at the end of last season bought a brand new (it was left over) 2008 Victory Vegas 8 Ball. 100ci engine, blacked out motor, most of it black chromed, black paint with factory limited silver flames with red pinstripes. Absolutely gorgeous bike. I already have over 2200 miles on it. Considering I got it in August last year and it rained every day for a month solid I'm not doing to bad. I've got a bit of work to do on it though. I want rear pegs and seat, possibly hard bags, I want to move the license plate bracket......I've posted pics somewhere around here...
