I had an idea when I was out of it one night, but I can't remember, I know it was something to do with guns

I would be riding today if I was home. Crazy mild weather up in Canadaland.

 

[Matty]

Bought another heap of shit for $100. 1990 Kawasaki Ninja. 98 horsepower, quarter mile in the low 11's.

Ima turn it into something like this.

 

[roguejuror]

Why so cheap? What's wrong with it?

 

[Matty]

All the plastics are cracked and hanging on for dear life, and every wear item needs to be replaced - tires ($300), brake pads ($120), clutch ($150), chain and sprockets ($200), some oil seals ($30), cables ($60 total) etc. The wiring also needs to be redone ($100). The guy just didn't want to put any more money in it. He was going to junk it until I offered him $100 to deliver it to my storage unit.



Going to cost $1500-$2000 to turn it into a nice custom thing. Not bad at all.

This is my baby.

 

[roguejuror]

[Matty]

Ripped off all the plastics today:

The plan is for it to look a little bit more like this:

[roguejuror]

Matty what are you going to do with 2 bikes?

 

[Matty]

#brambrambraaaaam

Second bike is coming along. Installed a one-piece handlebar the other day. Needed to custom-order longer clutch and throttle cables for it, just got them today. Made by some Mexicans in San Carlos, CA.

 

[reno cool]

a focking dog? I didn't expect that. I told you there's too many dogs.

I like the guy says: no fucking way.

I expected we die by running head 1st into a semi, not a chihuahua
