I saw that at the Portland Swap Meet a year or two before Covid. From some angles it works, not so much from others.

when i was a kid, my dad's brother put a yamaha 650 special engine in the back of his honda odyssey. i would stand on the rear of the frame and he would do mile long wheelies with sparks shootin' out everywhere.
not the mini van odyssey, the atv odyssey, like this

We rode the crap out of those Odysseys.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

The 250 Odysseys like that one weren't really much. When they came out with the 350 Odyssey that thing rocked. A couple years later they had the Pilot which was a liquid cooled 400. I never got to drive one of those but was told they were over the top insane type of excitement. I know my brother rolled one at a Honda Fun Days event in the early 90s. Things like that are probably why Honda quit hosting such events. Lmao

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

We'd roll those Odyssey 250s every time we ran them. I thought that was the idea :lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Yep...my little brother had one, saw him roll it end over end many times. It's a good thing they had those wrist straps to the steering wheel to keep you from putting your arm out.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Yes they much safer than one of these.

a few I didnt take ...

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

1st pic: I'm a biker. Those are stupid. I'm seeing a lot of that with the next generations who seems to have an M.O, anything but how they did it before. There's a reason for that

2nd: Safety first. WW1 helmet. I've seen a few of these. Wouldn't the motor burn up w/o water, or did they have air-cooled outboards?

3rd: Just plain wild!


Not so Grumpy now :cool:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Mmm I could drive it

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

heLL ya!
uber cool :metal:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

That's awesome. Back in the day I used to see a Triumph TR7 mounted on a 4wd lifted Jeep frame.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I saved that picture ages ago. I wonder where it is now. Can anyone make out the state on the route number? Our state hiway routes are marked with signs just like that.

You guys go ahead and plow your snow in that cool '57. My plow days are over. I'm going out to play

ps: Hard to believe I got no comments on Bill Jenkins with Jungle Pam

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Bill Jenkins was in that picture? I'll have to take another look!

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

It's Bill but he ain't so grumpy! :lol:

For those who prefer having heat and some company along for the ride

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

NB I just need to air up the tires

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Much more idiocy like that and we'll all be made to get a towing license. An added reg but might not be a bad idea. They could revoke this guy's and make the roads safer.

There's short on You Tube where an SUV that size is hauling a lifted Square body K20 Suburban loaded ass-heavy. He got the tail wagging bad enough for the trailer to scooch the SUV sideways to stop it. Lucky. Didn't roll anything and the 'Burb rear tire on one side jumps off the trailer but otherwise stayed on. The person tied it down well body his loading not so much

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Nah I’ve had it loaded heavier before it’ll be fine

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

With the changes we made on the rail we expect to knock a good 5 minutes off the ET

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

There's more than one way to get that lowered ricer look.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Saw this on a C10 posting someone forwarded. Just thought the door advertising "Market and slaughter" was a blast from the past. Maybe a member here???

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Better check these chains before something bad happens.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

ya,what could go wrong??

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Maybe the owner of the trailer won't notice when he drops it off after he's through borrowing it. ;):lol:

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I must say, that guy is pretty smart to use the trailer to drag that log down the road to keep it from rolling around all over the place.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

:lol: Using the tires and wheels as chocks to keep it from sliding sideways is a nice touch.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

...

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I thought he cranked them to tight and folded up the trailer .

Bet when he was done he stood back and said “That’s not going anywhere “

Lee Marvin ...a day or two ago!

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

And "colorized by Pulsating Paula". Hmm.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

Miss the speed shops. We had several cool ones in the greater Seattle area.

I dont remember the year, but possibly early 80's? Several of us went to the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals in Sacramento and we went to Tognottis, man that place was enormous! Put all of our places to shame lol.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

that got me to wondering, too. It's a black & white. Maybe she added in all the grey :lol:
I miss all the independent speed and Harley shops. That used to be something to do, stop in just to browse, chat, and maybe even buy something. And when you did buy something, it was from a guy you had gotten to know, knew your vehicle, and knew the direction you were taking it. Then there was always that thing called good advise

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
 

I still go to East Coast Speed it’s a local speed shop I believe started in the early 60s .
