Thread: What kind of Motorcycle do you own.

Vmax is powerful, rode with our demented mechanic on it. He was keeping up with us 200+ going to Kabin Buri, hurling the thing into the bends, two up. Not my idea of fun.

Have you tried pushing a bike at speed with your leg out? It's hard work , takes a lot of concentration.

I didn't think bikes could produce that much power, especially from such a lo-tech engine.

I would leave you smelling me rubber

I once sniffed a used condom from my old flat-mates bin to see what she smelled like.

And what did she smell like

Mines the S........ and it's red. Liking the blue though!

mm mmm mm, rigger i gotta say that is looking mighty sweet, nothing like a stroker at the flick of the wrist, i turn my my old girl on and all she does is sit there and bag out, much to the digust of me mates who have more horses, maybe 4' risers withe 12 apes, not too much, wihtout haveing to reach too far, a bit of control ,but fuck it when all your doing is rideing a monster your not really chaseing handleing just pure grunt turning it on and haveing fun.. good on ya mate

forgot to add my old paint job was silver flames over black, when i was thinking about it every one said it sounded fucked,, last laugh on them and i got the trophies on the cupboard to prove it you don,t have to please any other cnut but yourself!!

Thanks Ned as it been a battle to get this far but will be worth it when done, To put risers on I have to change the upper triple tree as its the standard buell type. I tried a set of I guess you would call them half apes and with the low seat postion felt pretty good, next test ride is monday with the new bars.
As for paint everyone is telling me dont paint it black with yellow flames and they even have me worried now but because I am such a stubben prick I am sticking to my guns

Have you got any pictures ?

^ Nope

Just how I pictured it in my head after NEdwalk's description.

Basically black with silver flames, with a purple pinstripe around the outside of the flames.

BDs Cycles Custom Motorcycle Paint Work

Here you go

Found this as well - not sure exactly what it's about though

Custom Painted Fish - Flamed - Fire - Hot Rod - Taxidermy - Fish Replicas - Mounts- Flamed Fish

there was no purple in it just darker shades of grey/silver on the tails of the flames, looked ferkin magic, till i crashed it and broke it and me and the insurence co took her away and gave me money

Yes good idea
The shadow battery has just died again, I think it was about a year old and I havent ridden it much in the last 12 months. I had my ducati set up with a external plug in Australia and left it pluged in while I was at work, worked well

The optimate 3 is very popular and reliable also.....linky

I thought this was funny

I was just having my morning dump and found CTEK smart chargers in Ride Thailand mag. For sales call 076352069

^ excellent. The charger that is. Not the dump,

I wonder ow much are they in Thailand? I can get them on ebay for $70 out of Canada with free shipping (not sure if it's free to Thailand but says international...) Assume it's canadian $. Probably easier to have them sent in.

Luckily the KTM one is only B400, same as waves, can just get a new one evertime!

Why even bother getting a new one. just kickstart the bladdy thing!

^ What??!! Are you mad? My mate has to kick his Honda and if he stalls on a hill, by the time he starts it he is too knackered to ride up it. Me, I just hit the electric boot and cruise by him while he is stuck kickin' and cursin'.
