savagethumper Ex Member	Concept Savage/ S40 01/16/05 at 17:48:09 This is what I would love to see my Savage look like. Hey, all I need to do is cant the engine back, cut the forks, redo the side plates, the back fender, handlebars, pedals, brake, gas tank, etc..etc.. This took a while in the photoshop program.

In case ya'll are wondering, I dropped the tank a little, cut the back fender, cut the handlebars, tipped the engine back so it would be level, tipped the chrome side plate back, levelled the backrest/fender support, cut the backrest off, shrunk the taillight, moved the pedals in the crotch rocket position, put more frame in the lower front of the motor, and lowered the front quite a bit. I tink that's all I did, I was bored... Tongue

I like what you've done, except for the background. That looks [glow=blue,2,300]*COLD* [/glow]. Would this be a good time to mention that I was riding yesterday in just a t-shirt in 80 degree genuine California Sunshine.

the 20 days of rain finally stopped as i saw on the channel 4 news.. i still watch l.a. news it's like i now live in the really really far away suburbs. with all that rain the roads should be pretty well cleaned, along with the storm drains.

i once did "comunity service" at the beach front between manhattan and playdel rey (sp) for a speeding ticket i got on my last thumper. it had just rained was awfull. all the stuff drained out to the sea then was brought back in on the tide. we even found a car off the bike path, the boss wouldn't let us touch it called it in. had a womans body in the trunk. so from then on i just payed my tickets, no more community service for me. Shocked

but then who would by a brand spanking new motorcyle
and chop the sh Shocked

it out of it. well me of course. i march to my own drumbeat, and let the others follow. only problem is i get so far out ahead of the curve that people lose sight of me, then they think they be the original thinkers. by that time i've moved on to the next big thing
and what other bike out there would someone do the things we do to them. not many..

Hi Sluggo,
I think we can work that out, as I would like to check that 650 you got. Grin

Mine is a 1990, chain drive 400cc Japanese market Savage. 8)
I think Suzuki only made them for the domestic market but quite a few of them ended up in here in the mid-1990's when it was still legal to import used bikes into Chile (not anymore!!! Shocked

and now we are getting all kinds of Chinese junk with engines designed in the mid 70's !!!! ??? )
We got all kinds of models in that period (European, American, Japanese models ranging from 50 cc to 1200+ cc).
So, when are exchanging rides, eh? Summer is hot and the 1994 vintage is just making it into the stores Wink
