No snaps of my old bike, a little (Suzuki 350) rice burner. But damn, it was fun - 2-stroke, hauled out like little else.

Gave it up when I got cut off by some brainless female, and I found myself off the bike, taking my helmet off walking back to her car with every intent to use my helmet to smash the crap out of her windshield. I had a wee anger management problem in those days.

And my ATV was a working ranch ATV, had an old milk crate tied to the front for hauling fence gear. Arctic Cat 300 - very good hard worker, ended up towing a 10-blade disc through the tree rows, trailers of hay, and other things. The 3-way tow hitch is barely visible behind the sprayer hoses. Left it with the ranch.  :(

Enjoy the sleds.

My first car was a 1969 Toyota Corona MK II. I bought it in 1985 and rebuilt the motor. When I was done with it, it had 11:1 compression and it would only run right on 93 octane gas. The funny thing about it was I tagged in high school as having the "James Bond mobile" ala "You Only Live Twice". But my love affair with this car ended in 1986 when a drunk driver hit it while it was parked (legally) in front of my house.....But life went on.....

I got to get digital picks of some of my past rides.
I still got my favorite killer out back, a Chevy S-10 with a built small block 327 from a 'vette in it.....talk about haulin' ass .......wooohoooo.....

 ;D

You and I have to trade thoughts!  Back in the mid 70's I had a Series 1 Chevy LUV and a 65 Chev Biscane (I know I spelled it wrong) ... Wouldn't you know that that 262 (small block precurser to the 283) fit in that LUV.  That kept improving until the final version was a stroked 400 small block (just over 370 ci), cross ram with dual quadra jets, and a highly modified Turbo 400. 

That truck went by the wayside on April night (early morning) in 1977, on the California/Arizona border when I pushed it a little too hard.  Just after the large bang the shifter boot melted and flames came into the cab.  I hit the desert sand along side the interstate and bailed as it went POOF!

I'm not saying that is was the quickest thing on Phoenix's Central Avenue, but I never came across someone that could beat me the winter I was there.  And, with the quick change rearends I couldl really fly across the dessert in the middle of the night when I went home.

I wish. Like I've said before, a 2 and 3 year old take up most of my time these days, it's hard to escape like that.
