CRISPINS CRITTERS

[dieselram94]

When I was 16, I had saved enough money to buy a '64 Honda 305 Dream with a Scrambler front end.
The very FIRST motor vehicle I ever owned.

My cycle permit has never lapsed.

For the last 40 years.

Sure, I've had wrecks; in Kansas where ABATE Rules!
(Never my fault....And I guess that I lived...)

I've had Friends lose their life riding....

Earl Wilson and Scott Hornberger....
In Lawrence, Kansas.
Both on Harley's....

--------

I always ride safe, make sure my bike is mechanically sound and realize that there are tons of idiots on the road who are "bigger" than you in their SUV.
----------

Do any other Critters ride?

What you got in your "back bedroom," ready to take for a ride?



Stories?

Do Tell!

I used to "cut my teeth" ridin' dirt on a Friend's "mono-shock" Elsinore as a teen-ager.....

My Best,

Scott

I've known more than a few who have been killed or paralyzed on bikes, even one guy I knew lost his leg on a seadoo...

I love some vegetable sushi! My first bike was a Suzuki RM 125 I saved for over a year working at an auto body shop and paid cash for it! Let me think..... I think that was 1977-78 something like that, I'm getting old. It's a wonder I didn't get killed on her. Challenge me and I would do it. I use to get it up to speed and stand up on the seat and ride by the girls house I liked, who later became my girlfriend and even later my wife! Her mom use to tell her" Their goes that crazy boy again you know he's going to get killed on that motorcycle just get ready for his funeral" haha my biggest test with fate came against a dump truck. I was riding ( Virginia) deep in the mountains, came out of a turn, gassed her, one lane bridge ahead that was occupied by a dump truck.....uh oh....geared down, jumped the creek, hit the rocks on the other side, wobbled, got control, slammed on the brakes, thanked God, looked back and the truck driver was shaking his head........tore off and kept riding! Oh to be young and dumb again!!!!!
Scott looks like a nice find to me. You have the skills...... Ok you can be white.......and then there was my last ride on my bike.....saved for another date. I lost, totaled her

Seems like we are Brothers in yet another way!

I unknowingly rode a "Next Years" model Kawasaki KZ 1100 that was stolen from the dealership showroom floor. Had that B up to 130.....

I told the detective that I didn't know that it was stolen......
As it was being "recovered" from my garage....

Best,

Scott

Bikes? Nah I don't have one but I do have a four wheeler I picked up about a year ago. New motor in it and low miles. Came with a nice tilting trailer too! Price? Well you can bet I paid next to nothing for it! I just love getting deals like that!
Here's a pic of my son in the snow last winter on it...

Looks fun!

Had to make keys for a Honda 4 wheeler Yesterday.
Or was it Monday?
Ah! It was Monday.
Yesterday I made keys for a Honda 600 CBR.

{Or similar image....}

I like to ride anything that piques my fancy....

My Best,

Scott

Always "baby" a motor for the first so many miles after workin' on 'em. .....

That Yamaha in the Polaroid?

I hitch-hiked to Texarkana to see about a CDL job hauling oil. From there, north, back through Kansas to up farther north from there!
And having to "dead-head" home if you couldn't get a load heading south.....
On highway 71.

Gettin' there....
Carryin' my box and walkin'.
And playin'.

Hitchin' a ride...

My "Thumb in the Wind."

Sounds like a song title...
----------

While I was gone, that ....."woman,"............ AND !!!
Ahem...


My Wife, sold my bike for peanuts. With less than 20 miles on my rebuild....

When I got back, I heard that the guy who bought my bike blew the motor in a week bein'....
A dumb-a$$ and "hot doggin' it.
Really wasn't his fault, maybe.....
EX wife never mentioned the work I had just done.....

Divorce SOON followed.....

Damn!
I sure miss ...that bike!

Scott

[AU24K]

Hmmm...

Must have been a late 70's- early model 80's.....

Don't make me search through my arrest records, please.....

CBR 600 118 HP
0-60 3.0 seconds.
Top speed? 156 MPH.
Liquid cooled, fuel injected and ABS.
Wow.

 

[releventchair]

Still have my cycle endorsement.

Don't know about that wrecked hawg Scott.
New forks, fender,wheel and tire ,handle bars just to start. Rear tire may be flat spotted depending on the conditions of the bad event.
Engine may have been subjected to a variety of factors too when bike was whoops-ed, from red line revving till killed, to no oil due to position.
Lots to look over, frame,sway bar if equipped or what passes for suspension and it's method of mounting for anything out of spec..
I've found a crack in a frame a buddy did not know he had and his is a well cared for bike, unwrecked....

Guess I'm better at breaking them, but have had to maintain them in the past when the couple nearest dealers said "we're servicing newer(hinting modern) bikes".
Home thermostat wire is not really hazardous as dual point wires ..right? Sure worked good.

Wow.

Ya, brakes though are kinda moot at 156MPH...no matter how many at once are communicating.
Needs radar for raccoon/deer traffic.

Wow.

I made a key today......
A key that turned in the ignition and all other locks on the bike!

Savor briefly, you peon, Scott....
(do you REALLY wish to remember wrecks? And dreams after those wrecks??)

"Now, you have the key.
The key to remember the past and apply it to the future.
What "lock" does that key turn?
What is in the future?"

For me? You? America?



Yer Buddy,

Scotty


Shall we ride, my Friend?




Your lead, Brother!

What happened to us. Today I was helpless. It's odd to read reports across the vast forms of media. But it's different when it happens to you. When you are helpless........,today I was helpless.....Today, I wept long and hard......... What happened to us?

 

[Togreenfeet]

Have a great weekend...........

Thanks. I was wondering how long gardening season lasts up there. Long hard day. I can count on you and my friends just saying hello. It's a pick me up. I thank you sir!

 

[releventchair]

Had the song,"a little patience"by guns and roses stuck in my head for days.
Got to change it!
Being Saturday morning cartoons are a world away from what they used to be....
I'll just play one of those stick in your head brief schoolhouse rock vids they used to toss in. For the change in my head I hope, and for nostalgia.

Hang in there 2G.F. !
