Posted 8 months ago None. Have always liked them because they're fast and have engines ( duh ). But I've always gravitated to cars a little more. I have never had enough money to have both. Unleash Your Mustang Side! |

| Posted 5 months ago Before I married Mrs. Pumpkin and had the little gourd, I was riding a 1991 BMW R100R Classic airhead: 980cc's of Teutonic two-wheeled engineering; black w/ white pin stripes, inside laced spoke wheels, retro /5 valve covers... I dual plugged it, milled the heads for higher compression, polished the exhaust ports, upgraded the ignition, front brake and suspension, replaced the crummy stock Valeo starter with a freshly rebuilt Bosch unit, stripped off all of the emission control non-sense... It was a great bike... not terribly powerful (maybe 70 hp with all the mods), but it had a whole lot of personality and looked cool in a funky low-tech way what with the jugs and Bing carbs hanging out to the sides, and that paralever swing arm in back... I always thought of it as kind of a German Harley Davidson... I used to ride it to Death Valley in the Spring to go camping before it got hot. I don't have it anymore, but to this day I have fond memories and a deep love for European twins... one day I will be back on two wheels... Maybe next time I will see if I can get a Guzzi... or maybe another airhead boxer... Just after high school I had a red 1978 Honda CB400TII, aka "Hawk 2". Nothing special but I had a lot of stupid fun on it. Almost killed myself a couple of times... like I said, stupid. My boss never down-sizes, right-sizes, outsources or has lay-offs, and He's always hiring. I work for Jesus! Prepare your resume! |

| Posted 5 months ago When I was younger I had this bad-a tricycle, it was red and white with...well, and take it for a spin....it still turns heads, only know with looks of horror and derision. lol...just kidding It's probably cliche, but if one was purchased, it would probably be a Harley, or this bad boy Tomahawk in which I would probably end up splattered all ove the road........ |
