Phoenix Gold Phorum

Heresy!!
A thing on TWO wheels on the forum!!!!!
This may cause me trouble, but our family car only has a decent headunit, and four boston 6x9 speakers...
So nothing exiting worth to post there!
But when the sun shines [yes, occasionally it does here], I like to take a ride without any soundsystem, other than the exhaust giving a heavy twin-engine sound, and the wind through my [still existing few] hair.
So curse me if you want, but as much as I 've enjoyed builing big s.p.l-systems in the past, just as much fun it was to alter my once-dull sv650 into this superbike.
Just for those members who enjoy motorbikes as well.

shit son, thats a nice bike....they scare the piss out of me though.

sweet.

absolutely cool...

Naked Bike !!!!!!!!!

Here's my money pit.

1989 VFR400 NC30 with GSXR750k5 front end, aftermarket Japanese bodywork, race exhaust, rearsets, etc, etc......

Where's a pic of you riding it, nico?

Done any work to it since I last saw it Nico?

I really need to get a ride on it next time I'm there

Paul- The VFR400 has got to be my favorite bike. I loved them when I was a kid, and I continue to love them to this day.

Nico's naked bike is also definitely way up there on my hotness charts.

Here's one of my toys at Phillip Island.

Photo of my bike in pit lane....




And one of me at Turn 4 at Phillip Island.




Enjoy!!

Oh, and feel free to critique my riding style [/img]

Which model is that Roland? My best friend here has a 929RR... scares the everliving piss out of me to be on the back of that.

Nice bike there Paul; Quite something special to say the least!
Very powerfull-looking frontfork on that bike..
I guess the "etc., etc., " says it all....
I have no pics of me, riding my "naked"; the shutter-speed of my camera just isn't fast enough to catch me on film hahahaha!!!!!
Nehhh... truth is, the days that I was doing roundabouts and nice long curves sliding on the sides of my boots, and everything else, with friends lying in the grass taking pics, is over.
Now I'm just an old man, enjoying the view besides the road
And no; I haven't done any work on it lately, due to lack of time...
I was bussy buying amps!
Have bought some [yes...again..],and now have to sell some as well; will this desease ever stop...
I'll try to find some pics of my cbr900rr superbike one of these days, that bike was like a wild horse to ride, after I changed the rear sprocket for a bigger one..
I drove wheelies till 4-th gear, keeping it in the air just by the throttle.
Those were the days, hehe....
I also like the racing-blade on the circuit, that was way out of my league in my days!

nice bike, I have an 02

I have let it sit for way too long. Going to sea has that effect. I think I am going to let it go this spring after I get it running again.

I have my dad's harley which I will not let go for sentimental reasons.

This picture was taken on my way to put the bike into storage and then off to the air port so I didn't have any gear. Hence the squid outfit.

Riding a motorbike in loafers?

no socks and loafers....rofl

Actually, boat shoes. Get it right.

Nico, ik heb jou motor net gezien, hier op straat. Het was vandaag een stuk van -5 graden, en die lul rijdt nog steeds zonder pak aan. Nou het was mooi om die originale (ook Blauwe) motor te zien, en dan hier op jou brommertje te gaan kijken. Heel wat mooier, die van jou!

i believe they are Sperry Topsides to be exact. just to clarify for ahsmo.

and letting it go huh? I might need to look into taking it off your hands... give me something with a little better gas mileage than the burban. lol

unless I can convince my parents to get my the srt-4 or the GLI

Leuk hé Tom, ik heb er zelf ook steeds weer plezier van.
Gaan we nog eens een stukje rijden?
Gaat niet zo hard als een fireblade, dus minder angst-zweet !
Groeten, ook aan je schattige Wendy!

p.s; sorry guys, just explaining [in Dutch] to Tom that I did a anti-falling-over-course, because I drive too slow.

The carburetor needs to be taken apart and cleaned which is the suck(I hope I never own a carburated engine ever again). One of my spark plugs is fouled...so one of them is easy to get to but the other is a bitch to get to. The dumbass who had it before me didn't renew the coating in the tank so it is all rusted out. The lines to the carb are all clogged. Yuck. Oh well.

If you are really interested, I am going to try to get it running next week after thanksgiving day...

I did that course when I was 15 on a big dirt bike. Pretty difficult to keep the bike up-right in those cones.

I saw a guy fail that course and then take off to the dealership to get his GSXR1300(Hyabusa)

Als ik weer in Nederland ben doen we dat, zeker. Ik ben met Rix op zijn R1200 ook gereden... hij ging rustig vanaf 3000 toeren, dus ik dacht er niks van... en toen kwam die KOPPEL... GODVERDOMME. Die ding trekt nog erger dan die Fireblade... tenminste daar heb jij niet zoveel draaimoment. En ik zat achterop rechtop te zitten.... GODVERRRRRRRRRRVASTHOUDEEEEEN. Ik had tranen in mijn ogen van die snelheid joh.

Nou ik denk Wendy's moeder wil ons meeneemen naar Europa volgende Mei ongeveer, dus we zullen zien als we elkaar weer kunnen ontmoeten

Ik hoop je/ jullie dan weer te zien; je bent weer hééééél erg WELKOM HIER!!!!
