Truth be told, I'd trade Black Betty for a Ripsaw in a heart beat though !

Different generation I guess.
Amen bro, been a daily rider in Florida myself for 10 years + , the old people, and the vacationers if not an epidemic in themselves, added to texting teens, and adults, it's to my own amazement i have not been killed yet. fucking people need to pay attention.650R. In sixth gear I was unstoppable. I maxed it out at about 160 or 170. That's about as fast as it'll go. It was something I looked forward to every day. Getting off from work. Getting on the highway and opening it up. But I didnt want to end up a statistic. It's amazing what you see when you ride because you're forced to pay attention. There are entirely too many people who are distracted when driving. It's epidemic. Worse than drinking and driving.
Admittedly was my Dads not mine but he barely ever used the thing so allowed me more time to play lol

Shared hanger at an airfield mate, some cool bits in there tho, 3/4scale P51 Mustang, Ultralight Fokker EindekkerE111 (under 450Kg MAUW), Boeing Stearman, 2seat Gyrocopter, few more ultralights like my dads, Rans RV8 etcHow cool was that??? Damn looks like he had a few in the garage too?
I dont think I would ever drive anywhere again with access to one of these...
We had a guy here locally who (was not in his right mind set to start with) end up crashing his in a field nearby after hitting a powerline
That was my first bike!! '82 "Midnight Maxim". I miss it, and I still have a soft spot for black chrome. But GAWD the brakes sucked. cnView attachment 2723460
Bought it off ebay for cheap, got it running then found out the frame was bent and sold it lol. I had fun working on it except taking the air cleaner off and onI bought some K&N's just so I wouldn't have to deal with it.
I found an Indian head nickle in the fairing.
Open wheel clay sprints are awesome, I used to race a super modified...til' the weekend mechanic crew quit.I use to spend hours at the tracks taking pics.. those days ended when I almost got hit by one.. scary ass shit to be in the midst of these guys.. love the crashes at 24 sec till about 31 secs 2 different classes ran this day (sorry about the music it was a demo we used for selling prints)
(funny story on how we got access to do these races.. we just called and asked.. and they were stoked that we offered to do it)
from 2002-2003
