graveltrapp Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 This was my last ped on the sad day I was selling them off. This one had a Minirelli V1 with a Polini 70 kit pipe and 14 Dellorto carb. Good for about 50mph. I put a lot of time into this bike making it a ratty cafe inspired bike. Stripped it down to the frame and repacked all bearings, rewired the entire bike, new tires and tubes. The other is a Sachs Foxy, another cool bike but not as desirable as the Cimatti was. Do miss having a two wheel option. Prior to these I had a 1984 Yamaha RZ350, my dream bike, it was even the Kenny Roberts yellow and black. It had the only pair of Micron GP pipes I have ever seen on one. Both pipes exited on the same side. Pretty trick and scarey fast. Love the 2strokes. I still have my thumper WR400 woods beast Quote Link to comment
DaBlist Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I ride a KTM 520EXC. It's not the nimblest bike in the woods but if you don't make it to the top it's not the bikes fault. I'm on the far left. Pic is from the Desert 100 in central WA. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 That is a beast of a bike. And true about the grunt of these big thumpers, as long as you can hang on not much will stop them. I did the poker run out there two years ago. I did the loop three times for a total of almost 75 miles. I had just got the bike two weeks before and blew out my forks on the gnarly whoops and was just about crippled the next day. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Any good riding in North Bend? Looking for some closer in rides, My truck gets like 12 mpg, cannot afford any long trips right now. Snow levels? Quote Link to comment
Riverside_Aaron Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I am working on 2 wheels for the road, but currently have a 2006 Honda 450x, super fun bike. And this is sort of considered a motorcycle, my 1984 Honda atc200x. 1 Quote Link to comment
its_karl Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 started in pieces, probably paid too much ($300) Quote Link to comment
its_karl Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 This is the current xs650 hardtail bobber, nothing premade as far as hardtail kits are concerned. I've bought scrapmetal, and a scrap bike, and used thrown out parts... The last picture may be a little hard to tell what's going on, but basically is a "reverse solo-sprung floating seat". I'll post more pics as I can... The fender is unique as far as I know, haven't been able to spot anything like it. It too is a first for me, so we'll soon see the end result on it as well. There lurks a 76 FXE (my bike) in the background, i'm cutting my teeth on this one and honing my skills before I build "my bike". The bobber is mine too, but eventually will go down the road.

Syncro Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 you paid quite a bit to much for that xs, but whatever, I sold one for about $400 the other day that was basically just a rolling frame with title, so I can't really judge. Quote Link to comment
its_karl Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 if I sell it for 3500 finished I won't whine too much.... I did fire it up today. =) here's my other motorcycle/quad Quote Link to comment

DeviousPsycho620 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 My first bike ever. 1999 VFR800fi Before: After: Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 generally not a good idea to start with a honda vfour, they're incredibly fast and powerful and not for the beginner but I'm diggin the bike. I still needa get some shots of my Suzuki madura Vfour's and put them up here. My brother has a v65 magna and a vmax that could compete with that vfr. I'd say my madura could compete with it but thats not competing, thats just a slaughter. Quote Link to comment
Kyle84 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Here's me and my dad's "bikes" lol. I want to share too. (suzuki is mine) :blush: Quote Link to comment

I'd say my madura could compete with it but thats not competing, thats just a slaughter. I've been riding it for 2 years now. As a starter, i agree... Not for everyone. But i watched my buddy buy a ninja 250 and a month later he was bored. So i just bought big and learned. Still ride it all summer long. Haven't maxed it out yet. But close. :) Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 If you ever consider getting rid of vfr sell it to me, I've been looking for a newer honda to turn into a 700sc replica, already have all the body panels, just need an actual bike. Quote Link to comment
DeviousPsycho620 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I doubt i ever will. But if i do... She'll be yours. Quote Link to comment

its_karl Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 what's left? tires and the seat? It looks sweet, I bet it's fun to ride. Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Tires are actually pretty new, and I just got a new seat in the mail today. My next item is some nice mirrors. It's a blast to ride for sure. It's soo smoothe on the road and gets up to speed pretty nice Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 My girlfriend found this picture deep within the world of Facebook. Another shot of my ct90 I think a Honda cub series bike should be required on everyone's 'before they die' bike list. Trail 90's and 110's will go ANYWHERE 1 Quote Link to comment
