Love it...please bring to Moab so I can purloin it.
:cool:
Jo
Thanks, Joe! I would love to ride around Red Rock country with it!!
Bart
PS - you can't perloin it....I had to look that up btw...
:drool2:
Awesome... reminds me of how much I want a bike. :yesgray:
You know, I never wanted a bike until I saw these in Japan in 2010. After that, I was bent on building one. What's more, is that I absolutely LOVE riding. Too much in fact...Quote:

Jo
Yup, longer swing are, and all the crap is cleaned away, so it makes it look longer as well. If you click my link above you can see the whole build.
Bart
That looks freaking awesome.
Makes me want to build a bike even more now. I have been thinking about building one for awhile now.
Cool..
...and I read it all...at least I thought I did !!Quote:

In a bygone era I rode TS 125's and TS 250's...

Jo
Thanks!Quote:

...on a learners permit.
No lessons, no prior experience..just buy it...ride it :eek:
Along comes the RD 250...BOOM......250cc's doing what 500cc's used to do!!!
Quick as a flash...learners were restricted to 125 cc.... :p
Jo
Too cool, I've got a '73 Honda CL350 Cafe, a '74 Yamaha RD350 Cafe, an '83 Kawasaki CSR250 Cafe and an '01 Harley Dyna Super...betcha can't guess where my first love lies when it comes to bikes?
Yeah, there was an article a few months back in Vintage Motorcycle about the 1975 RD350. It basically said that bike, when it came out, could blow away anything on the street up to an 800cc. Since reading that article, I have wanted one of those too. Plus, 1975 is pretty much the coolest year in history. :)Quote:

Man, I wish. I have a 3 car garage. So right now, wife's car, Impulse and Trooper are inside. VX and RS are outside. :(Quote:

Yeah man! Its actually a really great bike for smaller folks and its a great starter bike. That was the only deterring factor for me, is how small it is, but I'm about 205 and it pulls me well enough and my body size fits on it nicely, very comfortable. It's not a highway bike, but it would be great around town.Quote:

Bart
Awesome! They are such fun bikes. Before I tore mine down, I took it out on some trails here. I had 2nd thoughts about streeting it out, trust me. Now I just need another trail bike. ;)
Bart
Turns out that the TW is too heavy for Cece to muscle in the dirt & sand, so we will be looking at getting her a smaller lighter trail toy.
LOL Dub...
...my BIG mistake was telling you I was going to swipe 'em.Quote:

Cool bike Bart....taken it off any sweet jumps? :)
I can't believe CeCe isn't buying MY VX.
awesome bike kinda reminds me of my klr650 that i gave to my brother a few years ago - that thing was awesome i wouldnt mind having another - i had street /dirt tires on it and could take that thing anywhere and it always got a lot of looks - if you say yours is a little small for you the klr should be a perfect fit and very dependable
Great build!
I decided I want to look into a starter bike for my new communte. All country back roads for now and in good weather a small bike would be great.
Bart, when I saw the pics of the "outfits" I realized the real reason why you wanted a bike so bad! Haha! Admit it! :)
