Well, I've done a lot of riding, but I've never had a license. My brother and I put over 2000 miles on a 100cc Kawasaki going loops around our 3 acre yard. How's that for hardcore riding. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I don’t have any pics on hand, maybe I can try later. They are literally BURIED in the garage and barn. My Dad is a horrible packrat. I don’t even know if I can get to them. The one in the barn, I think it’s a Kawasaki, it’s a dirt bike. My Dad painted it OD green. Then we have a yellow 70’s or so one, I don’t remember who makes it. It’s never been rode by us. He bought it off a farmer who had it sitting in his barn for like 15 years and the engine is locked up, but he got it for under $100. It’s been sitting outside in the weather for years and it going to [censored]. Then in the garage we have the 100cc one I mentioned. Dad got it at a church mission sale for $100 or so. We later found out it was valuable as that exact model is parts interchangeable with a certain model Harley. Then my brother has a 1200cc 80’s Kawasaki that’s a precursor to the Ninja.

Fellas - cmon!!! PICTURES!!!!!!!!! I dont care if they arent "nice"! I love ALL motorcycles!

THANKS for the props on the bike though.. I have around $11,000 in it. Aftermarket additions, frame sliders, new wheels, new handle bars, some titatnium swing arm spools, inverted forks, and some increased horsepower. I also traded in my Ninja 250R for this baby. I had $3,774.00 in the 250R. Paid an additional $7,500.00 for the ZX6R. So, I have a bad habit with my bike, all Yard Dogs and Rats aside...

I love my bike. It is a 02 Honda 919 which I have to pick up at the shop because the steering head was loose from all the stoppies.

Because it is winter 8 months a year I wanted a quad so I could ride a bike all year round and get out in the bush more as well.

I feel bikes especially from certain manufacturers have personalities. My Honda and Honda's in general are conservative and very reliable. I wanted something I could flog and not have to worry about. The 919 makes only 110 HP but it does it low in the rev range so it feels more powerful than it is. My friends on their 600's can get away from me when they have room to wring er out but off the line and especially in traffic I can stay ahead. The upright sitting position is a big help in traffic as I can see what's going on a lot better.

For my quad I wanted something really aggressive with a totally different feel from the 919. I picked a beautiful Kawi KFX450

For some reason(probably those horrible flashing ads) my putfile account won't post pics,.

My Kawi and every Kawi has a very different personality than Honda. They generally have stonkin engines great parts and rough edges. My quad is like a Ferrari with the aluminium frame EFI,renthals but it does get a bit squirrly on fireroads and could use higher bars. Still my 450 is just as fast as my friends 660 Raptor if I wring it out a bit. It is also very very slick with reverse and killer looks.

Horn Dog has a very nice Harley as well.

Sorry about the pics ,hopefully they will show up or I will open a photo account somewhere else.

How about we race in the middle of a muddy field ,I will bring my Kawi <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I raced a 636 Kawi and had him for a second then he went by me on his back tire like I was standing still. That was the first year with the 636(fantastic idea the extra 36CC's) and stock. so I would really have no chance against a modded 07.
Where my bike rules is getting from point A to point B through city streets.
You would be surprised how much of an advantage the dirt bike style sitting position is. It sucks on the highway ,you can't really go faster than 110MPH for any distance and anything over 80mph gets uncomfortable after a while. Honda sure gets a lot out of the low end parts. My bike has very simple cheap suspension and brakes that work incredibly well.

I would love a high revving 600. I like how the kawi is more street oriented and they have a separate 600RR with a more track focus. Black is definitly the colour.
My car and truck are both black but I got a deal on my 919 and the only Black KFX450's were special edition and sold out.

My KFX450 is a lot like the quad version of a 600 repli racer. It is going to be raced both in very modified form by the kawi team and in closer to stock form by thousands of ams. It has a very very high reving engine that needs to be revved to get power out of it but can be a little sluggish at lower revs. The suspension is incredible but a little stiff at low speeds.

That's what I wanted a balls out no compromise race quad.

You guys will love the lock I use on my bikes. It looks like a giant pair of hand cuffs and is the toughest lock I have ever seen.
This pic came out really well and makes the rather big drive chain look tiny next to the similar styled masterlock.
