DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Yes!!!

 

Got a 650 that will be up for sale soon.

 

shiet i cant handle more power yet, laid her down pretty good last ride, on new suspension so i havent quite adjusted and was going a bit too fast for my skill level

 

I've got an XR600R that likes to keep me humble when I think I'm Scott Summers. Really hoping it does snow this winter, I LOVE snow riding. Your first bike?

 

E-start?

 

my first dirtbike since i was 8, I have over 100k miles on various street bikes though.

had a couple fz6, couple zx6r, R6, sv650, built a yamaha vtwin bobber, and a monster 796

 

Yup and street legal.

 

my klr 650!!!

 

My last street ride July 2018 with @Geremy and @Egnaro , hung up my street gear and sold the duc to @lordetaco

 

I’ve always loved those bikes. How was the torque? Why did you give it up?

 

Dirt is way more fun, especially with the way people drive here.

 

the monster was an absolute beast i loved that thing, held onto it the longest to make sure i was done riding

I used to ride everywhere, esp during katrina when gas prices were through the roof, in my last years of riding commuting between ft worth and dallas i witnessed a lot of accidents and distracted drivers. I always imagined what would have happened if it was me instead. In the winter id ride through below freezing weather and would have on a lot of gear along with a loaded back pack, i always wondered what would happen if i was hit and tossed into the trinity.

after a couple years of wondering I gave up riding, call i a win i got in so many miles without laying it down or ending up in jail/hospital

 

Yeah, I gave up after 8500 miles. I got hit by an old man turning right from the inside across me. I was only doing 20-25 mph when he hit me, so I basically just rolled of into the grass. A couple scrapes and bruises was all. It never felt the same after that. I rebuilt the bike, and only put about 100 miles on it after that. Every time I rode it I kept thinking about getting seriously hurt or killed and my kids having to deal with that.

Before.


After.

 

project cars are safer, they sit in the driveway most of the time

 

Yup...

 

Good Morning Fellas

 

Unless you use harbor freight jack stands.

 

no concerns there, I dont crawl under my own project car, im too lazy for all that

its my car, someone elses project

 

Pulled the trigger on the JBA UCAs this morning. Oof.
