I could just dry store the super at Glenn's and get Richard to launch it on Saturday mornings for me
That way I can ride the bike up every weekend at over 50mpg.

What is that car in the background? Is that an old Lotus? |

I used to have a subscription to Kit Car magazine when I was a kid. I always liked the little Lotus kits. Always hated the Ferrari and Lambo kits on the Fieros though. All of them looked so out of proportion. |

Nice Nice Ride there. Did you replace the frame with a stock one? Cool tail section, hope there's a gel seat in the plan. I'm picking up my new ride next week, traded in my Duc on a modern version of your bike.... a Honda VFR800ABS. I may be getting older, doesn't mean I can't enjoy it! |

Thanks Tomcat... Both frames are stock... Rickman frames are a little rich for my taste... I just wanna cruise around at this point anyways. I dreamt about ducs all my life... If I ever hit the digits I'll have a 900ss and a Mh900e in my garage. VFRs are truly an amazing bike. I was a service manager at a Honda dealer for a few years and racked up a few Km's on them... Unfortunately working in the business sucked the passion out of me until about now.. lol. Kev... The car is my friends... Its actually a kit that came out of Parry sound of all places... A couple of brothers made sports cars there in the 80's. It's a driver for sure.. I keep trying to talk him into redoing it frame off... He can't grasp the job yet though. You can't even wrap your head around how small it is.. You truly would not ever need a reverse gear in that car...... |

Know what you mean about having the "passion sucked out" of a thing you enjoy. My attention span for a bike varies but 3 years seems to be the norm. The Ducati was great fun, a bitch to insure though. Edit... It's insurance companies that want to suck the passion out of having fun lately. Was going to get a Hypermotard 1100s till I got "the quote", ouch! Over double pervious rate. The VFR is one of those "always wanted one of those" bikes with a sane insurance premium. Think it'll be fun and keep the passion alive, nothing wrong with 100+Hp either. Keep the pics coming. |

Insurance has always been the devil of the motorcycle industry. I'm hoping that the old Honda is still the bargain it was the last time I had it on the road though. The last bike I had on the street was a 919... It was like a mx bike for the street... it almost cost me my license... lol. The name of the kit kev is a fejer... It just hit me... HAHA. |
