The CZickness XXI...Finally of legal age

[MindfulMan]

CM, can you go in and delete my post about the Yamaha mobike?

Just axe it? Take it away?

Three lashes with a wet noodle for you !

You know that I'm a Yamaha man, don't you, Deacon ? I thought that I showed you a pic of my last bike .... the FZ-1 with a 1000 cc Genesis engine. Zero to 60 in 2.8 seconds !!! I saw 150 mph on it a couple of times !
Had to sell that ride when my spine went bonkers in 2013. Doc said that even a low-speed crash could put me in a wheelchair forever. Even my love of bikes wan't going to overcome that depressing thought ! But up until then, I'd owned one motorcycle or another for my entire life.

When Kathy and I were married, I owned this Honda CBX ..... a six-cylinder, and the fastest bike of it's day. Oh man, I loved that one. My wife's car (at the time) was the blue Mustang in the background.

OK I fixed it.

YAY..!!

I had a Honda 6. It was seriously modified (go figure) and would blow through the clutch in short order. No one made a clutch that would hold it.

MM, yes, you showed me the pic of the FZ1 - but not this scoot.

I had the pleasure of riding a friends 6 cylinder CBX and it was a flippin' hoot...smoooooooth like Marshmallow Bull.

A terrific naked and waay ahead of its time.!!

Sorry, I only have eyes for one Phantom in particular.

It's here when you're ready for it to come home.

Nice ride Bruce! All of my bikes have been off-road, though I've ridden a few rides on the blacktop.

 

[Benp]

Well my range trip got postponed to maybe next week.

 

[hANNAbONE]

Ben we need to do the do at the range again SOOOOON.!!

 

[gmcttr]

I wanted to go out for a walk the other day when the wind was up but finally decided against it. I've been hit by small stuff a few times doing that.

I found this this stuck in the middle of the trail today and figured I made a good call...

It's about 20' long. Here is my foot against it for size reference...

I couldn't get it to rock loose so I cut it off flush to the ground.

Yes indeed! That was fun! Maybe Steve will be able to join this time. Bruce?
I'll take a little more time from work this time

Haha ! ..... I'm surprised that it didn't shear the spokes off the rim !!!

Yeah, the sound of the the beast tripped my trigger !

I spent some time off-road myself. It's all good on two wheels !

Yes indeed! That was fun! Maybe Steve will be able to join this time. Bruce?

I'm up for it soon, but Steve and I might just be tied up in a rifle-build project later this week !

Kz900. Never should have survived that bike or most that followed until I went to Harley.

Not mine but same color combo. ‘76

Like you said, good call...

imagine if you will......that 6 cylinder tone through a custom built header. Cams/carb work/big Zap coils. It was a throttle wheelie best. Tore up a few chins with it.

One of those put me in the hospital for a spell. On crutches for a spell. It was seriously modded. Go figure.

Oh man ! Just stock, it sounded like some kind of jet aircraft at idle ! I wish that you had a sound bite from the old days !

It seems like most of us have been infatuated by dangerous activities !
