and now the lardmobile (2001 roadie)

Re:What bikes have you owned? 5 Years, 2 Months ago  
Besides that mini bike I repeatedly crashed as a kid????

A 1980 Yamaha XS 850 Special that I ran up to 52k miles w/o any problems (besides regular maintenance stuff). A very unique sound. The exact same bike as an XS 1100 Special minus one cylinder. Duel exhaust with a 2 to 1 and a 1 to 1 ... drilled out of course.



A 2001 YamaHawg Road Kill Midnight Star. After that 850 Special, I knew I couldn't go wrong with this bike.

the `lardmobile&acute; title is a term of endearment for the biggest, heaviest bike i&acute;ve ever owned.

it&acute;s the first bike i&acute;ve had since `79 that i&acute;ve had no thoughts whatso ever about trading in for another machine.

this one&acute;s a keeper!
