smoke Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I am sad to say...we used to take the 350 engines and stuff them in a stretched out Honda 110 3 wheeler frame (I grew up next to the dunes). Quote Link to comment

smoke Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 They are not that bad....of course, this is coming from a guy who drives a VW based Manx dune buggy all over the place, so take that with a little salt. Quote Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Something about them are kinda cool, its like a poor mans range rover. I'm sure some kids in Japan are already working on a new genre of Samurai mods, possibly a transformer 1 Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 That's the full meal deal there, including the uptight 80s chic. Quote Link to comment

RatVonDude Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Somebody should grab it. I just dumped soo much cash into all my crap last month, maybe I should a chilled out and scored this. Its funny how the pricing trends work in America vs. England. In Europe rare Japenese stuff from the 70's is gonna get big bucks, over here people sleep on it. Everybody in Cali wants a 1969 Triumph Bonneville and god forbid it better not be an oil in frame, over there the mid 70's tridents are way more collectible. None the less, this really is a killer, fast bike that somebody is practically giving away. Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 What's in and what's out changes from month to month. Soon, I feel that older Japanese bikes will have prices over the moon. What's considered cool and what's not changes all the time. I am old enough to remember when Harley riders hated on Japanese bikes and the guys who rode Japanese bikes just liked motorcycles in general and did not care. Now, that has pretty much flipped, guys who are die hard foreign bike riders hate Harleys. It's a bit of a whatfuckinever category to me. I always rode a bike to high school, some pile of parts I managed to make stay together. Believe me, my dirtbaggery was impressing no one back then. 1 Quote Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I got my BSA 441 victor only because to me it looked like the coolest, simple chunk of shit I have ever seen. After riding it for years I've come across other riders that refer to it as a " nazi bike " "victim" " the worst bike b.s.a ever made". You gotta be kinda a dick to split hairs or drive a wedge between something soo obscure as vintage bikes or even Datsuns. It's really a mantality for the ultimate douche bag. I can see old Harley bikers hating on foriegn stuff only because it's part of their history. Today I'm just stoked to see a VW bug on the freeway Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Kind of a funny thing really, in my life, I have met so very few (what I would call a biker) that have anything even remotely bad to say about other bikes. Probably just the kind of people I hang out with I suppose. Anyone who has had a Harley apart that was built in the last 25 years also knows that a lot of the parts are Japanese. I'm not sure why it is that anyone would care what someone else rides. I will say this one thing I have noticed over the last 10 or 15 years, many guys with the Japanese version of a Harley (cruiser v-twin) seem to be under the impression that they are in a competition with me. Like, if they see me, they HAVE to pass (then slow down to slower than I was going), or at a stop light, they are in a drag race. Then, if I pull over and stop somewhere, follow me into gloat about how bad they beat me in the imaginary race they had. Quote Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Weird, I talked to this guy who had a newer Ferrari, he said that owning this car wasn't really fun anymore cuz he was always pestered by some idiot that wanted to race. Lame. I'm like 6'4", all my life I've been challenged by stubby fuckers that wanted to fight, especially in bars. It's draining I always liked the saying "you wouldn't be worried about what others thought of you............. if you know how little they did " 2 Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 My Mother used to say that too. It's probably not your height, I get that too and I'm not tall. Booze equals asshole most of the time. It's a good thing I can't fight, they leave me alone when they figure out what a pussy I am. B) 1 Quote Link to comment

housew Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 the redlight race thing really pisses me off. We have a 2 lane merge into one section right near my house, and probably 3 times a week someone will line up next to me and start reving and lurching. I don't drive anything particularly boring (IE a highschool kid in a civic or a lifted silverado would want to race just about anything i drive) and it does get SUPER old. Its hard not to bite too when you know you can spank em. Quote Link to comment
