Hell-there ain't nothing wrong of having a little fun when mowing the lawn. Takes a great imagination to soup up something like this. Only thing missing are the road pegs, "trumpet" pipes, wind deflector and the tassled grips (lol). Bet this gets many a lookers when this is being used to mow the golf course with.

I've been there and done that... stunting and riding like I stole it, but somewhere over the course of the last several years, I grew out of that stage. I'm too old to be laid up in the hospital and road rash just doesn't look that good in the mirror.. if you survive to see it. Hell, motorcycles are deadly enough as it is with super stupid and blind cagers all around.. [Mad]

Well, I just got thrown out of that stage right into a brick wall. My 600 was stolen from my house this weekend. Noone saw anything, probably chopped and in 1000 pieces. I won't get another one, as fast as they got it from my house they could easily get it anywhere I go inside for more than a minute. The thing that gets me is that I was home when they did it. I just hope they come back and try to get my truck, cuz I will be ready for them, locked loaded and ready for a barbecue.

Be sure you blow his nuts off first like Ving Rhames did Zed in Pulp Fiction.

I agree Chris! But Todd, Stop being such a pussy! I would start blowing away at their kneecaps and slowly work my way up!

ANY low-life POS that would steal/take ANYTHING from me would feel my full rath! I worked HARD for all that I have, AND I only give to people/charities that I want to!

Yeah but sometimes shock can set in quickly with pain or aderenaline so you might as well nail the bastards where its going to hurt the worst first.

Chris,

I feel your pain brother.. 'Tha Roach' was stolen from outside my apt years ago. Luckily, they only got it across the road before the ditched it. It had the key switch broken and, other than that, it was fine.

My roommate had to replace teh front rotors on his Gixxer... And the Wal Mart across the street sold a hammer and some other tools late that night to a pair of dudes, but they didn't have the tape running on the register they checked out on... Couldn't determine who it was...

We think we know who did it.. but we'll never really know the truth. All I can say.. if I ever 'find' someone trying to snatch my shit.. they're catchin lead before I call the police..

POS theives are F'n scumbags. My hope is that ANYONE who steals a bike gets hit by a fucking train on their way down the road.

Well, the summer is coming to a fast end all I can say is damn it was fun. this last monday I took the bike to a track day I signed up for ran by Track Addix. The course was Mid America Motorplex just outside of Omaha, NE. The school was informative and I learned a lot, including a few tricks to get me out of tight situations, as well as cornering tecniques, and how to find the line through the track. and by the end of the day, I was only the second slowest guy out there [Smile]

I cant wait to go again.

Summer was not so kind to some of my riding buddies. 1 guy got killed being stupid, several others were seriously injured, and a bunch more trashed their bikes. I myself had two minor run ins with stationary objects(corners with gravel), nothing serious, but enough to keep me busy with the bike over the winter [uhoh]

I'm still waiting for track pics, but the bike track ready is here.
