Tough on chrome & the knees though.

Also had a 72 H2-750 two stroke kaw.
Damn thing only had an On / Off switch for a powerband though.
Bassani pipes, a set of smoothbore Mikuni's, disc's all around but a stock seat & tank.
It was literally 3 badass chainsaw motors mated to a single case, the friend I finally sold it to lost his right arm on her.

Bitch!

Looked very similar to this one only it was brown & the pipes didn't have the suppressor looking expansion chambers on the back.

Holy shit, that thing looks nuts.
I gave up the bikes for a long time, then when the kids were old enough I got them bikes, the leap suspension took was mind boggling.
Kids these days don't know the struggles of the 70s n 80s

Its literally like floating on air now.
I remember my landing hard back in the day like jamb your back hard.

Plus the power is so smooth.

Im not bitter. Lol

Whoop de dos! A lot of endos doing just that. You see guys heading over the handlebars.

My only bike wreck I broadsides a car that ran a stop sign. Doing 70 when she rolled it across the road and the speedo said 55 at the junkyard. Hit my head on the windshield post and everything went into slow motion. Including rolling up the hood and in the windshield .

She was in a bathrobe at 5 PM for whatever reason and had kids in the car. She freaked, hit the brakes and out I went. Hit the pavement on my back sliding headfirst across the road.

The big Catholic cathedral near the hospital they took me to rang the frigging bells every 15 minutes to indicate time. Westminster pattern. All fucking night the sonsofbitches . In traction. It really didn't hurt really bad until about 2am .

It wasn’t quite my first. But I had a nice 1971 cb750k. Best all around bike I ever owned. Street, dirt, gravel and even trails were possible on it.

It was about as fast as a 1986 mustang gt 5.0 we determined after extensive testing.

That's hilarious. I've had tons of 5.0s. I have a 91 hatch and a 90 coupe now. They are both very straight and rollers. One has the engine in it and the other does not. I bought a 98 Mach with super low miles. It sits in the shop at the ranch and rarely ever gets driven. Occasionally I'll take it out and hit a crowd or two....lol..... one day I'll get em all going. First I'm going to drop a an LS in my 85 Z though. I've got the subframe that bolts in to except the LS. I've just gotta get a computer and some odds and ends. I even have a built T56 ready to go for it. Kinda waiting until I blow up the 3000 turbo that's in it now. Ive got the boost cranked and she just keeps taking it. Lots of cool cars and that doesn't include the old schools I have. My plan is to just go ahead and turbo the the LS when I put it in my Z. It's an extremely clean car inside and out, original paint,interior etc etc. But before I can think about building the Z or coyote swapping the coupe. I absolutely have to paint my 62 ford F-100. I've had it prepped and ready for paint for a few years now. Big block ford freshly built with nice heads a lumpy cam and a 4 speed behind it. It's a torque monster and literally geared for trouble. Hopefully my boys hurry up and grow up so I can spend my money on foolish things besides diapers, huge electric bills, toys and food.

cant wait until they can push a mower. That's Guna be so beautiful.

Damn dude,
I remember the 5.0s
My buddy had one with the manual tranny it was a scary ride.

My grandpa owned a body shop so we always had tons of project cars all the time.

I have so far resisted the urge to turn my property into a car graveyard, well
My wife won't let me is what I mean.

Someday I want to build something
Im into the old pre 70 cougars
So that's probably going to happen sooner or later.

Were building a shop next year finally

I keep most all the cars in the big shop at the ranch. Momma won't let me turn the driveway back into Indas customs. She doesn't ever complain about anything. However. I know not to fuck with her parking spot or treats in the fridge. I do find myself stealing the boys snacks from time to time. Sucks because I can't blame it on lil Inda. He knows better than to lie and he wouldn't take without asking. Il primp my younger boy a bit better to take advantage of school snacks. Not that I have to. Have you seen the size of my youngest boy.....lol
