MrHixxx 0 #102 October 7, 2009 Here's my track bike. Ducati 848, Ohlins, Akropovic, Nemesis, lots of goodies, very fun to ride. If Ducati had models of the 848, this would be between an S and an R. The only thing cheap on it is the plastic. I have a base model 1098 for the street too. I've always been on Superbikes. Riden cruisers a bit, just don't enjoy them like performance bikes. I'd rather go fast and take chances than puff up my arms and putt down the road. Choppers are cool and all, probably more fun to build than ride. I'd still rather drop money on performance parts than chrome. However, I gawk at anything with 2 wheels or boobs... Got lap from Monday on FB: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1219127887478 keep it on 2, Hixxxdeath,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly...I am actually a Certified Honda Mechanic, I worked at a Honda dealer for 3 years, until the owner asked me to quit riding my Harley to work, then I walked! It was a great learning experience though! After that I managed a Motorcycle Salvage yard...most fun job I ever had, even better than when I ran my own shop!

gonzalesna 0 #111 October 8, 2009 I used to have an '02 sporty custom... lot of mods made. Was plannin' on puttin' a rake kit and fat tire kit on it, but got in a wreck and totaled her out. Before and afters below... Now I ride one a them thar rice rockets. Got it for $900. Speakin' of which... anyone near Mt. Fuji want a bike for real cheap? I need a quick sell!

AggieDave 6 #112 October 8, 2009 You're in luck, now! You don't have to buy a lame kit, you can simply get a nice frame and build the custom bike that you wanted to bolt together.
