This is the bike that hooked me on the Customs

 New out of the crate in '84.  I came back a week later and they had a windshield on it.  It was perfect but I never could afford it.

Yeah, I couldn't keep Mom off it.
That's my bro on the 450.

An awesome fun ride!
The first CB1000 will be getting turned into a hot rod.  I'll post here once I get it started. Pipes.jpg (82094 bytes)
I'm going to make up some pipes that look like this! Drag pipes sort of but with some baffling.
My 1983 CB1100F. I picked it up on 8-5-06 and sold it about 9-07.  It needed some work but was actually in pretty good condition. 1100F-2.jpeg (127469 bytes) 1100F-1.jpeg (111724 bytes) 1100F016.jpg (86567 bytes) This is what it looked like when I was done.  It went to a really good home and has been re-worked.  I'm sure it looks totally awesome now.
My Latest addition!
I was looking for a mechanically sound project and this one is perfect!
S3010032.JPG (64197 bytes) I picket this up on 11-1.  I needs lots of cleaning (like all these older bikes always do!), a new seat, some seals here and there but over all it really is in great condition with only 19,800 miles on it..
  Here's some of our '05 Dirt Bike fun!  
Troy and me doing some wheelies

Troy 1   Me 1
Troy 2   Me 2

We'll get better!  This was Troy's first year on the YZ250 and my 2nd ride on the CRF450R.

 

Thanks to my brother Irv we both have great bikes to ride now.

These are videos so it may take a little bit to load them.
Troy and me jumping together.  I'm on the Red Honda he is on the Blue/White Yamaha.
Jump 1
Jump 2
It's a HUGE rush jumping this close together.  We fly about 70' in distance, get about 5' high above the table top, and are going 40+ mph. We don't know how fast or high off the second one but it feels really high! (Yep, that's me almost crashing!)
