I cannot tell you how much fun can be had on a 73 Honda 250 Elsinore.

I installed a Radial Head and Expansion Chamber.

Bought it for 275 cash walking by a garage sale in about..??? 82 hardley out of the box, dude never road it.

I drove that bitch to the fukkin stars of heaven.

Sold it for 300 bucks one year later and the dude took it across the street and blew second gear out right in front of me I gave him 50 bucks back, we pulled some doob and all was cool.

He rode twisted mot-cross on the side, turned this bike into a real competition blaster.

Dude that brings back some memories! I had an MR50 before graduating to the Elsinore! Those were DAMN good times! Jumping the ditch ... going so fast sometimes we'd endover into the palmettos ... LOL! But we never went into the ditch!

I have always wanted a bike, I am thinking of getting one this year.

**Douglas T.** · 01-13-2008, 09:43 PM

Nothing but off road for me. Too busy on the streets here for that anymore.

One of my worst memories about old MX bikes is about an RM370.

I think that one is a '76. The one in my story was a '78, and didn't belong to me...plus, it was bored to a 450, and was pretty beat up. So I wanted to cuntpete in this "junior" hare scramble @ our local track, but didn't have the necessary cubic centimeters to make it happen. It was 175cc and above. All the other kids were using their dad's, brother's, or whoever's piece of shit PT, or Elsinore. My older brother suggested that I borrow his friends' RM 370. The dude agreed, and said not to worry about crashing it, 'cause he had three other ones. Those old 370s' still maintain legendary powerband status. After noticing my feet wouldn't reach the ground, my brother asked if it would be ok if they balanced me @ the start/finish line. All I really had the chance to do was run it around the parking lot before the time trial. It was noticably faster than my YZ80, and the clutch was really soft.

Anyway, about 1/2 a mile in, I dumped the clutch coming out of this tight trail, and wound up careening through a stand of small pines. You know, the whole "spin cycle" sensation. Eventually, I got my act together, and pushed the bike over to a grown pine tree so I could lean against it to kick the fucker off. Right after I got it running, I noticed alot of blood on the tank...that's when I noticed the huge gash in my arm. Needless to say, I just took the shortest way back to the start/finish line. I remember one of the checkpoint dudes yelling at me. When I got back to ground zero, this old bastard that nobody liked came running over and said I was disqualified. I was crying and shit. The dude that loaned me the bike came over and said something like, "look!! he painted the tank!!!"

25 stitches.

Good times.

Just like my monoshock joke the world is a vampire and the booze addled brain will attempt to comply.

no more trick ?' ions
no points for details added.

I have ridden several choppers never owned one stripped several street bikes down to the frame painted them and I understand some complex duties such as swing arm bushing.more later;;;;;

Lets call the red bike exibit A I find that the chopper is a bike with a certain degree of Rake and Stretch more later....

Lets call the blue bike exibit B {{aspirin must kick in or i'm gonna drink more fukkit! beer thirty....annnnnd i'm back..... whoh!}}

Bike "B" seems to me to be somewhat descriptive of what I am going to say it is more of what I call a stretch bike than a chopper.

The california lowrider style chopper and this is a style of motorcycle I do NOT like.

Not a low rider not a chopper like a ball busting crotch rocket and whatever I say some preffer it I don't.

Bike "A" is what I would want if I was so inclined.

It's all good don't get me wrong if I wanted the seat on the ground I would by it for my BITCH!

I don't want my balls crushed up in my belly for a 1000 miles or even 2.

If I did I would by a Ninja.Digg-It!

Any comments welcome.

If you have never ridden buy a little honda 450, some bike to learn on I cannot tell you how many big Harleys I have picked up for people when they fall over at a streetlight.

I hate to say girls and I mean if you don't have big strong legs a big bike can be a drag.

I have picked bikes up for dudes too;;more later...

I know quite a few ladies who ride and there is no stigma for me .

Just your first experience may be best served on something lighter than the biggest road bike.

Bitch in my last statement was a silly thing and not meant to do anything more than grab a giggle.

I hope I can be forgiven.

**thome** · 01-14-2008, 01:36 AM

I got pulled over once because my ape hangers were too tall on my 73 Suzuki;;;more later

I had no idea till then that they have laws against long armed highschool kids trying to look sexy ;;;more later

Just another story about Bobo sticking it to the ,white man hippie punk kids;;more later..

**Nitro Express** · 01-15-2008, 04:11 AM

When I get grey pubic hair I'm getting a Honda Goldwing and a trailer to pull behind it.

I ride a 93 electraglide but I'm not one of those guys who thinks they
are better than someone else because they don't ride a Harley.
It just fits my riding style better .
My best friend had a GSXR 1000 and when we would take rides his
preference was hauling ass as fast as he could and I would enjoy the scenery.
The only time we rode together was at night or on the freeway.
After he crashed a couple times I tryed to talk him into slowing down
and enjoying the ride.
He didn't listen .
He had a big funeral early this year .

I got one for slow and one for fast ,but they are both fast.

A mile long wheelie is off the books for this old man.

Maybe on a track with some real good crash gear .

I am still crazy.... just that the repair bills sukk these days on me and the bikes.

I looked up a set of air cleaners for my jap bike 800$.... just the filters and housing.New jets would be next .....WTF.

**thome** · 02-26-2008, 10:09 PM

Last time I stripped my jap bike down to nothing ... over a year ago

I had everything off the frame except the engine but I lossened an tightened those bolts too.Checked Valve clearances etc.. no need to crack the cylinders.

Painted all the frame knicks took the pipes apart steel wooled the crome painted the swing arm and oiled and pretty much gave this thing a complete overhaul better........ I would say than any shop would do as a matter of fact most dealerships won't work on a bike even one with thier name if it is older than ten years old.

But they will usually reffer you to a local cat who will do work factory sanctified and better FYI.To the buyers of older bikes I've had this baby for 15 years can't part with it.

So I pull the petcok off and cleaned and replace the(2) inner fuel filters inside the tank put it all back together.

I had the carbs down to 24 parts per carb I did the whole shaBANG!

I go to start it runs like a monster sex machine street blaster 10 minuets then NOTHING wont start for sh!T!!!!

Days go by friend comes over blaa blaaa blaaa.

Pulling the carbs on this bike is the hardest part because of the air cleaner a real BITCH!

So I pull it and the main jets are full of SH!T laquered up dried gasoline seems i didnt replace the old fuel lines after a month of work.

Flexing them and moving them cracked up all the old dried material inside the lines.

1.50$ Item fukked myself again ......just a FYI..... Dammit...... for the

world.

Motor on Muthas!

If my friend would have adapted your philosphy he would probably still be around .
He had a race bike that he would take to the track but he had to push his luck on the street.
His wife was following him when he met his demise but I didn't want
to ask her the specifics.
The guy was living on borrowed time , anyway .
About twenty years ago he woke up feeling like he had his ass whooped the night before , opened his garage and found his old
beamer totaled.
Never did remember what happened but from the looks of the bike
he was lucky to be alive.
