Finished out a very long work week, starting to remember why I enjoyed being a independent contractor for nearly 3 years.
What did you accomplish today?

My first bike was a 65 CB 450, thank god someone put a later model tank on it. The chrome and black original looked like shit.

It used torsion arms instead of valve springs, really ahead of it's time. Dual overhead cams also.

Ahh my first
an ‘82 Yamaha Midnight Maxim 650.
Since then I’ve had a thing for black chrome. I want a Big Twin with jugs and heads done out in black chrome.

I am in!! So glad you reminded me I bought the fixins, plus I got english muffins so I could do open face sandwiches with tomatoes, bacon and melted cheese.
Do you guys put a slice of tomato on a grilled cheese sandwich? My ex's dad taught me that and it's pretty good. What a character this guy is!
9 pm and so far its been icy pops only
I need bacon !

I got home from school one day and there was a new red, 69' Mustang Mach1, 428, sitting in the driveway that he got for my mom, I was going nuts over it & dad says "like the color?", I got you one too, opens the garage & there's my T70. Pretty good day.
Later on @16yrs old I did 140mph in it on a bread run to 711, even better day.

We'd get those guys in the ER. It was like a game to get the endotracheal tube in before they swelled to the point you had to trach them. I always felt they took off points for the trach. My trick was to use a size 6 to 6.5 ET tube, LOL the guys always grabbed the 8.0.Back maybe '96...I was bushwhacking with a few buddies on our motocross bikes. The guy in front of me must have hit a hive in the leaves or something......I went through this swarm of bees. Those things got into everywhere! I jumped off my bike mid ride and started tearing my gear off on the run. Gloves, helmet, chest protector......right down to my undies........couldn't count how many stings I had.......it sucked'91 RM 125 that thing was a screamer.
So anyway, the time I went into the ER for something similar to that the ER doctor (who knew me and my proclivities) said, wait till she passes out and we'll trach her ROFLMAO!! I fooled him and the epinephrine turned me around so he missed a chance to shove something down my throat AND the trach, neener neener
So you're saying your stepdad didn't like you

I had the older version, a CB-350, with drum brakes front & rear. I rebuilt it, including custom paint, and it went to Florida with me in the back of my '66 Chevy van, which was also a trippy vehicle!
It's scary looking back that we drove this shit on the interstate at high rates of speed, and many are still here to talk about it

I worked at a Days Inn and one of my jobs was to change the price on the gas pumps. One of them had a drip, so I use to keep a can under that drip, and that kept my bike in fuel... and got me back &U forth to work...Plus I had Days Inn everything in my apartment.

What did your mom say he did for a living? I'm guessing a bush pilot.

My dad came home with a white Triumph TR6 for my mom in 76:
Then in 1982 she got herself a black 911 SC Cabrio. I got to pick it up from the dealer when she was out of town and drive it down a long new street with nothing else built yet. I was in third going 90 and it just wanted to keep pulling. It was a five speed. Loved that car.

Still have this one:
