Was out at the track (Buttonwillow Raceway) yesterday going through some gas and using up my tires... good times.

Since it was Veterans day, I did my bike up in classic WWII P40 Flying Tiger nose art in tribute...

Next time you go, check up on some Spitfire paint jobs. It would fit more with the British bike, that I want more than sex right now. Something about Triumphs...

Nice pictures though, very nice. Now I want shots of you stunting like the mad wack gs outa New York homes. Four wheel wheelies jooo! This is what we do with our welfare!

SHOEI helmet, Alipine Stars boots and leathers....sweet! At least you don't skimp out on the gear. I currently have Thor boots, but I am looking to get some A stars in the near future. Everyone has their own taste, but the teeth and eyes are not mine. Never the less, a badass bike. :thumbsup:

Oh, and that it wear on the tires, not melting. Riding them very hard can cause them to start to peel.

You look kind of gay in that outfit man. I don't know if I would be posting pictures of that on the internet.

Is it just the angle of the shot, or is the Gixxer really that much bigger than your bike?

The Gixxer is a pretty wide bike, most of the I-4 Bikes are a lot wider at the front than mine. Since mine is a Inline 3 cylinder it's got a very narrow chassis and a over all narrow profile.

From bar tip to bar tip it's only 27 inches.

So do this mean you put the Z project on hold?

I spent Thanksgiving Week out in the desert, and I'd always wanted to build a Off-Road truck... a week in the dirt sealed the deal for me.


Plus... who doesn't like playing in the dirt? http://smiliesftw.com/x/tr0n.gif (http://smiliesftw.com)

Off-Roading is a lot of fun as I have found out in recent years. I find it to be a more relaxing alternative to car racing.

Well then, lol. Pretty big turnaround from the Z, lol.

True, but have I ever said I liked just one type of racing?

I consider myself an enthusiast of all things motorsport. Even tractor pulls are cool in my book.

That is very commendable. That's why watching Monster Truck Jams doesn't seem so petulant to me. I like all forms of motor sports (even though I was a ricer for awhile :lol:)

So what are you going to build? Import or Domestic? Stripped and rebuilt with the works or just semi-done up off-road stuff on a street truck? I know you wouldn't think of touching your new green truck...

Rail job set up with a 2JZ-GTE. Do it.

Or a Beetle.

Do it. Just do it.

Nope. You haven't.

I make no bones about it that I like drag racing the best. I dont care much for dirt track racing or just any kind of round track racing.

Off roading is fun though. I've not been much, but I have been a couple times. I enjoyed it, but not enough to want to swap the Nova and give up drag racing for it.

Not now, I've put too many miles on her since we first thought of the idea.

I can't abuse her, she needs to last me. Sorry Bobby.

It's ok :crying:

I'm happy you got a motorcycle, as it's more or less alot cheaper way of having speed. I'm really considering getting a CBR600F4i.

I dunno if I wanna get rid of the MR2 anymore. It's already been hit 4 times, but I still love it (Gets really good gas mileage). If I had the money i'd drop in a 2.0 liter honda motor in it.

Anyhoot, we should do another meet again :D
