Only had 2 "Cruisers" in the past.... 1st was an '83 XJ 750 Maxim....was great in a straight line, but a handful in the twisties due to the screwy front end geometry. Seriously reliable though...rode it in 13F & snowing before...did surprisingly well because of the rearward weight distribution. Went on a coupla group rides w/ some Harley buddies & kept up with no problem. This beast would do a smokeshow from Hell...don't ask how I know. Then when it came time to sell it....some rat bastard nicked it! 2nd was this Kymco Venox 250...Taiwanese made but pretty sure motor was built by Honda....liquid cooled, 90 deg V-twin w/ Keihin carbs...low, pretty comfortable & economical- 62mpg regularly. Sketchy tires though...I came home from the upper Clackamas river the last time I rode it....went into a LH sweeper doing about 40 mph, the next thing I saw was some guy leaning over me telling me not to move & a LifeFlight helicopter was on it's way. Apparently the rear wheel stepped out & the caught...highsided me & I landed on my right shoulder & neck....damn near killed me. Still feeling the effects of that to this day. This pic was from that ride before I started back home.... A year later is when MRSA damn near killed me... absolutely blessed to still be here. My MetalFab mate that I've been drafting for...for 20 yrs...is Harley guy. At 1 point he had a '96 Buell S1 Lightning...that was my 1st ride on a Hardley power'd bike...140 hp w/ a V&H pipe, in a 53" wheelbase chassis...as short as my RD 400F. It was like riding a 2-Wheeled BigBlock Vette....handled well with great brakes. Later on, he built this chop w/ an 80" motor & a RevTech 6-speed gearbox. The only real parts that were Harley was the motor & the frame down tubes...He fabbed up the rest himself...even had it blue-tagged as a production vehicle. It rode pretty nice...especially with that gearbox...

13F again this morning...w/ a bit frozen fog...reminds me of a few times I slid around in similar condition on my Seca 550 back in the day. It cleared off nicely with plenty of blue sky...so I managed to get the Mullet out for a spin again. I checked out the Trail by the Rail to see if any more progress has been made on it....as they have received another grant towards the completion of it....but no joy yet, but it's always fun to blast down it on the eBike.... So since I had the camera with me, I got a pic of this straight old mid 60's GMC short-wide....I've had 2 of these in the past, but the short-wides are not too common. Blasted camera has some kind of muck on the lens that only shows up when the light is just right...

Like others have mentioned....don't wish him any ill....but his problem is quite obvious....

knowing @boboneleg taste in cars ...its probably his and he is trying to get our approval

Won't be long before it starts looking like this around here....

Cool looking house w/ some real character that's for sale a few blocks away near the train station...

On the Tourer side of this topic...I also did enjoy running in group rides with other bigger bikes with my '83 VF 750 Sabre. Helluva smooth running motor...it would spin to 10k rpms but at 6k it was just Electric smooth. I did my longest 2-wheel'd adventure on this beast....did 2500 miles in 98 hrs. down to Parker AZ & back...it never missed a beat. At 1 point during that ride, I held it at 120 mph for 20 mins. straight through the NV desert. Can't say enough good things about the Corbin seat either....

Another King Tide shot from Cape Disappointment OR coast...

I would like to try one of these....

Marcel you seen this shit... every one thinks your a twat

Sunset at Cannon Beach....

YZR-M1 from '02...

Not sure what the listed price is as I just noticed the sign in front stating For Sale by owner. I bought my place 5 yrs. ago for $102k...now you can't touch any place for less than $200k here in Elgin. A good friend of mine just got evicted from his tiny cracker box house in Oregon City....the Landlord sold it for $425k...Insane pricing in Portland area as well as the whole state.

looks like a dildo ..what cunt would drive round in that.

It Snowed Last night. 8-00 am : I made a Snowman. 8-10 - A Lady passed by and asked me why I didn't make a Snow woman. 8-15 so I made a Snow woman. 8-18 my female neighbour complained about the snow woman's voluptuous chest, saying it objectified snow women everywhere. 8-20 The gay couple living nearby moaned it could have been two snowmen instead. 8-23 I was asked why I hadn't just made a snow person 8-25 The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with. 8-28 I was being called a racist because the snow couple was white. 8-31 The Muslim gentleman across the road demanded the snow woman wear a Burqa. 8-35 The police arrive and say someone has been offended. 8-38 The female neighbour complained again, that the Broomstick on the snow woman needed to be removed because it depicted women in a domestic role. 8-40 The council equity officer arrives and threatened me with eviction. 8-45 TV crews from the BBC showed up, I was asked if there was a difference between a snowman and a snow woman! I replied " snowballs" and am now called a sexist. 8-50 I was on the news a a suspected terrorist, Racist, Homophobe sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather. 8-55 I was asked if I had any accomplices, my children were taken into care. 9-00 Far left protesters offended by everything March down my street demanding I be arrested. Moral. There is no moral to the story, it is what we have become.

So what I am reading here is that if you get a fake Harley they will try to kill you so get a real Harley and live happily ever after.

Looks like this is actually going ahead, could be a very interesting bike. https://overlandmag.com/features/ccm-reveal-600cc-project-x/

It’s too much bike for you.

Mt. Hood-- taken from Timberline lodge... I've been on that chairlift on the left. On a clear day, you can see Mt. Shasta down in CA...

Flyin' Fred Merkel....saw him race here in Portland on that beast....sounded like an airplane...a damn Fast airplane...

Tend to agree. That would make a great Fire road bike....& I also like the Street Moto version as well.

@Six30 blue?

pictures ?

So far 9 Sparrows.. 3 Pigeons... a police helicopter ..an air ambulance and 36 Boeing 777's have all been issued speeding tickets

BadAss trick RD 500....

A certain person has flounced and asked for all their content to be removed, five days of retirement induced a total functional meltdown, there was plenty of inane drivel that you lot didn't see being sent by pm to the mods and admin. By the way if any of you say disrespectful things about said person he will find you and look at you sternly.

Seriously, I think he was lucky to be allowed back on the first time. He clearly has issues and although I wouldn’t wish him any ill I just couldn’t be bothered with some of the bollocks he spouted. Bottom line in my view is that the forum is better off without him.

i have been wanting to ask how you are... after the loss of your little pal, felt a bit awkward to bring it up to be honest... any thoughts on getting another in the future ?

the twat will keep lookin on here... marcel.... your father is a hampster and your mother smells of Elderberries...

Neither of us took it that way, though. some weird things in Japan

Yes his Franglish would give him away, that and lustful pictures of his causines.

Suzuki was doing pretty shit so they hired him to train the next generation superbike riders.

That wouldn’t last @zzzak a week.

Brother just returned from Japan. Brought dog poop shaped lucky cookies ...

Dunno but it is quite refreshing to just talk about bikes and bike related stuff.

With no members talking about being unable to wank in the bathroom while his girlfriend is rejecting him in the bedroom, I don't know how this forum will survive.

Right !! who wants a name change as we haven't got a Moose Molester anymore .........

He'll be back , hopefully making more sense to all of us next time around .

Apparently his truck has a mobile network.

stable isn't even in his dictionary

Doesn't strike me as the most stable person, just through some of the rubbish he posts. Don't wish him ill, hopefully he has some people around him to give some perspective and help.

Years go by in minutes inside his brain when he’s home alone.

It’s just him and the plastic vagina now
