Took it for a spin around the neighborhood and first impression...terrifying! :crackup: Felt like I was 6' in the air,sittin' on a bicycle with a 2x4 for a seat and a peppy motor...could be considered a deathtrap. :crackup:Definitely a learning curve and will take some getting used to,I feel way safer on the Busa doing a 180 mph down the freeway than on this damned thing('course I was in house slippers,pajama bottoms,sleeveless T-shirt and no helmet,bet I was a sight :crackup:). :uploaded_shooting:

Bud you are safer at 180 on the Busa,... than on that thing........do you not know yet that we old farts hurt more when we get fucked up and take 3 times longer to heal, and sometime don't heal at all....as long as you don't get hurt right away, after a few hours riding in the dirt beating the snot out of yourself, that beast will probably get parked.....if your not sure of what I'm saying, go hammer it over a few jumps then tell me how you feel the next morning

We had a new RM85 at the dealership years ago. Nobody thought much of it, and every single guy I worked with and one I didn't wrecked that bike!

 I sold it and it came back a week later running too rich. Customer mixed it too heavy with oil. I deluded it with some fresh gas and took it out for a ride around the lot .

 Yep you guessed it, I wrecked it! Flipped it over backwards! Ground stones into my ass! I had to be in a wedding that afternoon. So I stood up there in front of church with tiny pebbles in my ass cheeks!

 Those damn things are so vicious because it's easy to get away from ya. They seem so small and safe and they fool ya. They can throw you off like a dog throws off a tick!
 
 Anyway they  are fun as hell just be careful buddy!

 :crackup:

Went up to Chaparral Motorsports in San Bernardino this morning and dropped $800 on boots,helmet,pants,goggles,oil and filters,etc.(that place is humongous,about the size of a Walmart but all bikes and gear,etc.).Just ordered a class III hitch and bike rack for the Jeep so I can haul it around(first stop is Race Tech for new springs,fork seals,and the suspension set up for my fat ass :lol:).Damned hot out here this week,85 degrees today.

And I got to say in all honesty O would not mind taking one out for a rip, but I don't cause I know its going to hurt after,.............got a bud at work that got one of those super motards, (dirt bike with street tires) that's cool but right now it would just be another toy to spend money on that I ain't got, .............at least I got the beast ready for summer, new plugs, tires, wheel bearings, rebuilt the calipers, new brakes, was going to take it up the interstate where the LEOs set up one of those auto speed checker wagons but it's a old one and only has two digits,(99 mph) so I didn't bother, no matter since I got that new fuel system right its been running great, feels better than when it got on the dyno, don't know when I'd get to a dyno now as the guy who's stuff I used retired, he was older than us, and sold his equipment, .................you just make sure you keep the shiny side UP....... :D
