-zenn Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I want a motorcycle... Planning on getting my permit in the near future. Also explains why I build a lot of hoverbikes. Why don't we have them yet!? Quote
Big Cam Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Ohh, aren't you mean! Too bad that I don't have original photos from a digital camera. I bought my first one in 2004 and the accident I had was in 2003 (with this bike). I REALLY miss riding... I like the bike, and the pphotoshop job looks professional, really. I'm telling you man, riding misses you too! Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 I'm telling you man, riding misses you too! Yeah Zorbas, get back on and then at the 2012 event we will have an EB ride out! Quote
Zorbas Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I like the bike, and the pphotoshop job looks professional, really. Thanks Big Cam. Perhaps I should consider working as a cement mixer operator since the result looks good. I'm telling you man, riding misses you too! I think I have to do something about that. Yeah Zorbas, get back on and then at the 2012 event we will have an EB ride out! How beautiful that sounds CGH! Riding across Europe for an EB event...Fantastic! Quote
Big Cam Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks Big Cam. Perhaps I should consider working as a cement mixer operator since the result looks good. I think I have to do something about that. I think you'd be promoted to Foreman right away. It's like riding a bike, you never forget. Quote
Zorbas Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I think you'd be promoted to Foreman right away. It's like riding a bike, you never forget. I guess I took the "Building is fun" LEGO statement too seriously. Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 60 degrees here today, no clue what that is in Celsius as I'm too lazy to go convert it. Snow is melted...very tempted. Then I think about all the crap that would get kicked up and salt residue on the road. So, I just started her up today for five minutes and thought of all you. Quote
Big Cam Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I'm getting excited to take my bike out of the back of the garage as well. We just had a week of 40 degree weather so some of our snow melted but there is still plenty to go around. What sucks gere is even after the snow is gone, it takes a good month for all the roads to be cleared of salt and sand. Quote

This is the only time a actually want rain btw. Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 I'm riding tomorrow,, and I will think of you guys for a second! Quote
Siegfried Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Well I haven't stopped riding so my odometer is almost at 4000 now! Here's me in standard riding gear. I also apologize for the terrible photoshopping on the rider but since she's one of my ex-girlfriends I think that it was the right thing to do. This photo was taken in 2002. I must confess that I didn't notice the edit until you mentioned it! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Is that a sledgehammer strapped at the back? Part of your 'standard riding gear' Sieg? Quote
Big Cam Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Springtime bump. I hope to get my bike out of the back of my garage before May. I'm still kind of waiting for the street cleaners to come pick up all the sand that they throw down every winter. I swear I'll get pic's up this year. New ones anyway. Quote
MetroiD Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Isn't she a beauty? (The motorcycle that is, not the cemented girl. ) Whoa, so you really are a member of the Greek mafia; cementing ex-girlfriends and all... Although come to think of it, I must totally agree with peterab - ex's are just better off left under (at least) 10 layers of cement. As to my bike exploits - I've been waiting for news on what could be a "big opening" for me for the last 2 months. I was kinda hoping it'd happen by mid-March so I could properly celebrate the official start of the season (last weekend of March around here), but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Still keeping my fingers crossed though... In any case, it's a good thing I still haven't got a bike since it's proving to be a pretty weird year in terms of weather. There were two weeks of perfect spring weather at the end of March, but since then it's been strong winds non-stop - and yesterday it even snowed. Quote

I hear you, we are supposed to get snow on Saturday, which is weird since we just had a week of 60 degree weather, Fahrenheit that is, sorry, I'm in the states. Keep your fingers crossed, and good luck. Quote
L-space Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 First official roadside photo of the season: On the road by L-space, on Flickr And another sunny weekend coming up.... Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) My first/ current bike. 2000 Suzuki GSX-R600. Bought it at an auction with 13,000 miles, late 2007, replaced battery and got to figuring how to ride. Previous owner painted it and it just so happened to be the same color as my mountain bike. 15,xxx mi, no repairs or wrecks and wantinng a bigger bike. Or at least newer ... someday. Nothing like being on 2 wheels. If only this freakin rain would quit! Edited April 30, 2011 by Leg Godt Gud Quote
MetroiD Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I think you can now log on to flickr using various accounts - give it a shot. If that fails, there's always photobucket... Your SRAD looks great, what would you like to switch to, 750cc or 1000cc? @L-Space: Got the Fat Bob out, eh? What a beauty! Quote
L-space Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 BTW can someone clue me in on a site to upload a replacement photo so I can deeplink it here. I'm sure Brickshelf wouldn't like this and I don't have yahoo!... so Flickr may be out of the question? Flickr is the easiest sollution I guess. It works for me! @L-Space: Got the Fat Bob out, eh? What a beauty! Thanks. Took it to work today. The weather is to good to spend it sitting in a train and bus. Quote

Your SRAD looks great, what would you like to switch to, 750cc or 1000cc? Thanks, I'd like a 1000 but, a 750 would be less expensive. Dream bike = Hayabusa Flickr is the easiest sollution I guess. It works for me! Thanks for the reference! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Figured Flickr out so here are my bikes. Unfortunately I just sold my 2000 GSX-R600 yesterday So here are the last shots next to my 2002 Specialized Enduro Quote
L-space Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 That looks like a mighty fine bike. Great colour too, looks almost metallic? Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Great colour too, looks almost metallic? Almost, to be honest I can only assume it's candy. This is how the bike looked when I bought it. Quote
Siegfried Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Unfortunately I just sold my 2000 GSX-R600 yesterday Reluctant sale? Care to explain or should I mind my own business? Quote
MetroiD Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Well, congrats on selling it - enjoy the Specialized for the time being But seriously, I hope you find a great Busa to replace that soon. If that's your kettle of fish, I'd also recommend having a look at the new ZZR 1400 (bit expensive though) and/or Honda's Blackbird - it might be old, but it's still a mighty fine bike. Quote
