smoke Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Those frames are so close to the old TT500 that Yamaha almost had to take some from it when designing. I have two or three of the 70s TT frames laying about still. Lots of parts for those really. Quote Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yamaha tt 500 is a jap carbon copy of the b50, both are classic thumpers. The thing is with a 600cc barrel I don't thing is easy on the gearbox which never changed from the b40 a 350cc bsa. Even triumph twins the 500 is more reliable than the 650 Bonneville.

Last month, my FXR broke a throttle cable. When I was along side the road rigging it up to limp home, no less than 20 super bad-ass, leather clad village people on American bikes went flying right on past me. The one guy who stopped and asked if I needed help was riding an old beat to shit KZ 1000. Fuckin Brotherhood my ass. I mean, I would have told them to get the fuck away from me anyway...but it's the POINT! Quote Link to comment

HaHa, I know I don't even like it when people stop to help but I do it all the time because my old man taught me manners. I guess the Harley brotherhood is long gone. The roads I ride are filled with those exstreme bicyclists who never really share the road and never have anything nice to say, they are like a bad mix of granola and water sports. Ya you don't use any fossil fuels, but the companies you invest in sure as fuck do, if there was a nuclear war the only thing that would survive are those carbon cleats and spandex thigh huggers. There is like a weird hierarchy to some of them when they ride in packs and order microbrews at the bar, totally " I"M BETTER THAN YOU" 1 Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Out where I live, it's a long, curvy, narrow road with a rock cliff on one side, and a 30 foot drop to the river on the other, it's filled will speeding log trucks and drunk hillbillies weaving about. I think it might fall under the category of irony that guys ride bicycles up and down this road to stay healthy. 2 Quote Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Oh shit, Say no more, at least they have an excuse to be wound up. Loggers in semis fundamentally own any road. I'm just hoping one day I'll see a wizard walking home to break up the scene. 1 Quote Link to comment
