Re: Lawnmower Motorcycle

Great a vertical shaft V twin. Certainly looks like a backyard project. Good luck on getting a buyer at $9000.

Re: Slightly obscure motorcycle crash scenarios to keep in m

I always try to quarter off the vehicle in front of me and keep my distance. If he driver behind screws up I might get knocked down but I won't be sandwiched between him and the car in front of me.

Re: I did it! I cut my muffler off and added a new one.

Wow, you have only put 75 miles on your bike since May 8th? Do you have another bike that you are putting all the miles on? Oh I forgot that you are a New Yorker :roll:

Re: I did it! I cut my muffler off and added a new one.
