One of the reasons I dont poast much anymore...

[Sasquatch]

Bravo. Get out and enjoy life. I love my bike too.

[DEADBYDAWN]

People are doing crazy things to get next to you because they wanna give a thumbs up for the tonedildo! Not the backwards tricycle.

Fucking beat me to it!

I'm too nervy to ride a bike, but those you can drive with a regular car licence in Norway.
I wouldn't mind one of them. A buddy is a salesman for Bombardier in Norway, so I've seen them up close. Perfect for cruising the countryside. But I'm also old

I thought I was going to find some sort of rant when I clicked on this. That makes this thread WINNING.

[hairydangler]

not man enough for an actual motorcycle, eh?

Been there did that.

[Davidian]

Happy for you dangler. Enjoy the new ride!

I agree with you. Thing looks pretty damn cool for not being a motorbike.

And since I have no desire of "winning the intarwebz", congrats on the trike HD, and enjoy it!

Actually, I believe he's not man enough for an actual snowmobile, by the looks of the damn contraption.

This is my ride....

[facefirst]

This is my ride....

I ride a '79 Honda CB650 cafe racer, though someone is buying it shortly. Also in the process of turning a '71 Honda CL175 into a '60 style track bike complete with fairing. My other bike is a '75 Honda CB200. I have a thing for the old small bore Hondas. Will probably pick up a CB350 this spring to start rebuilding.

[The Anomaly]

I like it, but I'm old, so . . .

Those things are freaking expensive no?

I'm sure it beats the 17mpg I get with my Pathfinder, commuting to work everyday

[GAS KING]

NICE!

I really like the older bikes.

Had a Yamaha SECA for a while.

[Devin]

Sweet, I'd love to have one of those can-ams

Very cool.

Yeah, I like older bikes because anyone mechanically inclined can work on them. I've never messed with a motor before and for my CL175 I tore it down and split the cases to replace a sheared off kickstart shaft. The shop manual is super detailed, so it's a matter of following directions really. I'm in the process of cleaning off 40 years of dirt and grease so I can paint the motor. The person I bought it from didn't take care of the bike at all. Surprisingly the transmission is in awesome shape, which is a relief. Hopefully in the next week or so I'll have this thing painted and put back together. It's a fun project.

[gainfreak]

Cool!!

Here's my ride!!

They also make Ski-Doo and Lynx You being from Alaska (or used to live there..?) might have something to do with the connection you made.

You'll have to start a thread, and post some pictures.

That's pretty much what I did too. They're pretty simple machines (compared to our computer cars). I probably swore a lot more than you tho.

Yup. Owned a Ski-Doo. It's wasn't a high CC model, but it was one of the lower powered versions (though full-sized) specifically so that at 11-12ish years of age, I/we/you could yank the front end around, or turn it over if it tipped, etc.

I need to take some pics. I'm always bad about that.

Here's my inspiration for the build.

Snowmachine, Brendan, it's called a snowmachine. Your inner-Alaskan is dying.


For all the dudes that love vintage bikes, I'm currently restoring a '70 Triumph Bonneville with my dad. Will post before/after pics when we finish.

[BrendanO]

It's been 16 years. I reckon I'm allowed.
