I Guess These Count as Mods
05/25/06 at 10:10:58

Speedo cable broke:

Header wrap looks good:

And my garage... cleaned:

Red bike = my room mate's 1997 Honda VFR 750. It's a V-4. Pretty nice bike. Very controllable, but it's got the power when you want it. The other black and red one is my other room mate's Aprillia RS 50. Single cylinder 2-stroke. He's got it bored out to 65 cc. More like a behive than a thumper. It's quick for him since he weighs about 120 lbs. Lotsa engine mods. Has to rebuild it every coupel of thousand miles. Oh, and the black one in the middle is my sissy bike, uh, V* 1100.

One nasty pothole that I found the day after I hardtailed it launched me half way up the gas tank.

With a garage, why must the thumper sleep outside? :'( He/She kinda looks like my dog chained to the tree, laying in the rain. So pitifull. You should let it come in and be part of the family. Just be sure to check it for fleas.

I agree! I figure I better ride a hardtail while I can... Stock shock mounts are still there, so I can thrwo on some progressives later in life...

Can't really feel the diamonds... practically steer the bike w/ my butt, though...

Savage is a rat, so it lives outside. Looks cool chained to the tree... doesn't play to nicely w/ the other bikes, either... My room mate'c chick was walking by the bike one day, going to the garage. Room mate says to her, "Don't get to close... It bites!"
