HmmMmm let's see! I think I can dig up some more vintage

....bike pix!!

Let's start out with a wheelie on the IT175 !!



ok, then here we have the 80 YZ250 loaded up behind the Pinto. No one better make fun of my bellbottoms.



... ok, getting into the 90s .... this was a.... 94 I think it was?? KDX but a GREAT bike! it was probaby one of the best dirtbikes I've ever owned!!



.... ok, back to 1983 again ... another YZ action shot!





ok, this was so stupid, but my buddy and I were taking turns trying to get a nice out of shape action shot on the dirt bikes. I had no idea of what I was doing .... and too scared to try anything too dangerous .....



Ok, ALWAYS check your nuts and bolts before you go riding. Locktite is your friend!



.... here is my current ride >>>



.... and never EVER ride drunk!!!



.... I tried the quad thing for a season and didn't like it at all NO sir!!



Here is a Suzuki that I had out in California .... it was ok, but not as cool as my original >



.... and here is the original >



... now THIS piece of crap was a Moto beta with a Hodaka 90 motor that kept blowing up every other week!



.... yet another Suzuki 185 ..... I really liked those bikes for some reason



THIS was a sweet bike!!! A 76 Suzuki TS250!! Mint!!! 600 miles for $600 at a yard sale (1980)





....ok, one last Yamaha IT175 shot ...

If that's not an "Oh sh*t" moment I don't know what is.

I've only heard of such things happening on a M/C. That has to really suck. I'd die just watching the wheel disappear below me.

However I did lose the front wheel on my Sting-Ray during a wheelie. I think I still have the scars on my noggin.

I'm going to have bad dreams tonight.

I don't know if your girlfriend could be considered cute or not, but she sure is flat chested!!!!!!!!

On the other hand, she could be STAKED ! Everything being relative.

If you can ride the left side, right handed with one hand in the pocket, it beats my combo right-hand/left-hand shift/brake paradox.

Girl friend?


No, that's David Cassidy waiting for his turn to ride

If that really is David Cassidy and not your girlfriend, you better have a picture of Susan Dey next to your bike somewhere...

I think that it is improper use of the English language to use the word crap and Hodaka in the same sentence... Just sayin... Hodaka left quite a mark on the motorcycle world during its time.

Can you say Road Toad?



was one of the first enduros I sat my ass on.

Yes, I think you can. Or you can say Wombat, Combat Wombat, Super Combat, Thunderdog and of course Super Rat. Here is a picture of my Super Rat that I have been restoring for the last 2 months. Started it up for the first time on Friday and it took me immediately back to 1974. Magic! A 100cc bike that will give my WRR a serious run for the money in a drag race.
(And how cool is it to have a picture of a Super Rat and Susan Dey in the same thread?)

Niiiice! Parts are a bitch to find for that little hot rod rodent.

Well yeah, she was there, but missed the picture because she ran back to the bus to get me a fresh bottle of Klotz!

Did you know that her little brother really didn't play the drums! ! ! ..... it was a sound track if you can believe that!

Well, yeah, but the piston was pretty worn out on mine and I didn't know enough to bore that sucker out!
