here's my current ride i got last year with 1200 miles super cheap,,,1994 dr350 suzi,,,flat slide carb,,520 chain conversion with altered sprockets to change the final drive ratio,,custom midpipe with dg silencer,,new seat upholstery,euro tail lite,led turn sigs with digital flasher,,,1.5" billet riser blocks with taper bar conversion,,ect,ect,ect pretty long list even for a very mild build,,,runs fantastic,,,real good fun,,,if you need to see more Luke pm me and i'll send you all you can stand,,,i don't want to clog up a scooter board with other than scooter related material,,,as you can tell i'm not brand or size specific,,as long as it's got two wheels and i don't have to pedal i'm good,,,,don't even mind a good bicycle as long as there's no giant hills around

oh by the way i'm 58 and yes i'm 12 from the neck up,,,can't leave the machines stock,,even my zx1200r,,got the full house treatment ,,,,,that one was dangerous ,,easy 170-180hp at the wheel,,nasty business,,,funny enough i can't wait to get into the et4,,it's gonna be great,,i must be getting old

[cyborg]

must have scared everyone off,,,,,was it something i said?

Not me, I love a good ground ripper. There's nothing like the feeling of handlebars pulling on your arms when you drop the clutch.

no no no cyborg, i like all the pics you posted,sorry for the late response...

but i must say those are top of the line motorcycles,i mean they're not cheap....good thing you didn't get a chinese scooter or silverwing, otherwise you'll be traumatized from head to foot.

so do you modify motorcycles from engines, to frames etc? i'm very impressed, and you said one of you build went to Russia? is it for exhibit or sale? i'm impressed with your work honestly.

Luke the s4 ducati went there,,,the silver one in the pic i posted,,,i've owned a bunch,,worked on literally 100 probably more,,,i know it sounds like alot but it's not really,,,figure 5-6 a year , not too crazy of a schedule,,as far as being hi dollar,,most of them i get cheap,,,like the dr350 i got for $1000 and the et4 i just picked up which prompted me to join this forum that was a bargain as well,,i just have tons of tools and like to work on stuff,,,yes i build some from the engine on up but i try to get low mile neglected but garaged whatever,so i don't have to do the crazy cosmetic refinish,,,as far as the one that went to russia i hope the guy knows how to ride cause that thing was crazy stupid fast

[cyborg]

I think i'm having the most fun i've had in years with the dr350 ,,cheap fun fast great on gas,,,it's a win all around,,,when i get the et4 done i'm gonna do a stella 4t,,,i would like to get an actual vespa 2 stroke but soon in california 2 smokes will be illegal so i'll go with a used modern stella,,,,i missed one about 6 weeks ago on CL for 1500 but it was gone when i called,,,i like the fact that i can get great mileage and still be fun,,the ducati engined beasts i had got crappy mpg and i got tired of sh'tt'ng my pants about my bikes,,if one of them just fell over it costs a grand to repair it,,,and thats me doing it,,the red cagiva grand canyon in the pic i posted has two gas tanks at 2 grand a piece unpainted ,,so i say so long high zoot bikes and get back to what was fun when i started to ride,,,i may even get one of the sym retro 150s ,,,very cool and cheap,,,just plain fun,,,oh and did i mention cheap?

Well i finally get to bring the vespa home,,,been stupid busy at my shop and hadn't had a moment to even look at the thing except start it and let it run for a minute or two,,so she comes home tomorrow and i get to tear it down and give it the once over twice,,,,,hopefully nothing major wrong ,,probably carb clean ,hoses,and a few other odds and ends,,,let us pray

[cyborg]

and now to source a supercharger,,,,,,i'm gettin warm and fuzzy already

[LUKE]
