What we have left...a XR50 for the littles, my 97 CR250 (I bought new), my 1988 250R (pimp'd), even shows the sled in the background MXZ700, and the trusty King Quad.

My two year old on his p-dub 50
My mint 91 CR500.....eats four strokes all day long and asks for more.
I also have an 88 CR250 that I'm in the process of restoring, and a 76 Harley, and an 83 Honda Nighthawk 650 that I don't have pictures of.

RE: Bikes...?
The rush you get from 2-wheels is a little bit different, though... ha!
Also, you get to lean and put your knee down when cornering.. ha!
Here's a pic from '03.. you can see that you can use the tire all the way up to the edge.. (and it wasn't like I was going that fast... was just doing a track day in a non-competitive environment.. in the middle run group..) But I'm sure pushing a lot harder compare to if I was riding on the street.. much safer to push at the track, like I said before..

RE: Bikes...?
Been out for a few weeks. Nice to see someone started a bikes trend[sm=thumbs_up.gif]
Here's a couple of after pics and one before. The Red & White looks nice at a distance but upon further inspection you see alot of over spray(looks like crap). I sanded the WHOLE thing down and started over. As I found a nice chunk of filler in the tank [:@]
The first bike I was going to buy (it was sittin there for months then finally got sold as I was driving there) was an 02' SV1000, then 04' SV650 (sold) then 02' R1 [sm=confused_smile.gif] good thing that was sold. Last in my budget range was the little red candy cane (02'600)
Given the condition of the bike *salvy* I want a whole new fairing kit and other parts here & there but all in all it's my daily driver
Kinda funny how me and LB had the same bikes
Future mods
1000cc headers*
47 tooth rear*
New Helmet still [:@]

RE: Bikes...?
Well you did say bicycles soooo...
It's an 07' Jamis Dakar XLT, nice little bike I built up with Downhill and Freeride components so it's a bit on the heavy side, but the only way it will break is if I crash it hard enough that I break too. I'm a big guy anyway, so the weight doesen't get to me much....this is an older picture, and since then i've bought a new seat and now ride with clipless pedals....really helps on the uphills, but just gotta get used to clipping out fast if your gunna crash.
I also used to have a little motorbike I built up from a schwinn stingray. Used this chinese 80cc 2-stroke motor kit and modded it a bit to fit the schwinn. did about 30mph on the top end. Ended up selling it though.
I also have a late 70's Yamaha Enduro 125cc trailbike up in michigan on my grandparents farm. It was a little fixer-upper my grandpa worked on for me when i was smaller. no pics of it though.

RE: Bikes...?
I also ride my pedal bike daily.
That Schwinn is SICK[X(] I've been thinking about buying a bike with that type style and finding a motor kit to have a pedal/motor bike.
Edit: Yeah if been checking out some more helmets. Its not that the one im currently using is all that bad but it is starting to fall apart. At this time more focus is starting to turn towards my front brakes>> research
