Let's see your bike - Page 6

This is last week on the way to work. New Fieldsheer gear, look in "Equipment" for a write up. Just heading to work, not much adventure there, but next week heading to Laguna Seca for the races and I'm taking the looooong route. No slab for me.

Gspinckney and Chop - Regarding the VTR.... I put 42,000 miles on one a few years ago. Excellent bike. I'm a big guy(225lbs), so the stock fork springs had to go and eventually I put a Fox shock on it with ride hieght adjustment. Also, added Erion Cans and I Dynojet kit. Fun bike! If you can't wheelie one of these, you will never wheelie anything. Traded it in on a RC51, what a mistake, that damn bike tried to kill me, shoulda stayed with the VTR, a much better street bike.

That's the infamous Popemobile.

Ssshhh!!!! fuck, Ari, shut up! you'll wake up the "bike picture posting monster"

I remember that guy that complained about Killen posting too many pics of his bike... imagine what happened right next?

That's right: a fucking flood, man!

You must be the only regular that has not seen the popemobile before.

SFIS out!

here's 100 more pictures of my bike:

Just kidding.

The Aeroflow is big and somewhat RT like...but it does a great job...1,000 buffet free miles last week.

I've seen some shots before, but not up close and I've NEVER noticed that big ass windscreen. Must be compensating for size somewhere else.....

You know they're lieing (sp?) when they say that size doesn't matter.....guess it works both ways:eek:

Just kidding, Killen !

Killen · 07-02-2002, 12:38 PM

Size does matter.....that's why my wife married me.

I wasn't thinking of using a VTR to replace the GS, but I was considering it as a bike that would be fun to ride for half the price.

Looks like I'm heading off topic--time to take a pic of the bike.

Ah so. I misunderstood. as a stablemate...go for it, the VTR rocks.

GString · 07-02-2002, 01:11 PM

Well, I won't be able to take of anymore tome until Sept - no Choopa for me, I guess.

I bet she slept well wrapped up in that going down the road

I have her thinking minimal stuff
