Detour! Detour!!
No longer have my dirtbike (YZ426F) But have an '88 Tecate 4 for the sand!:metal:

My "junk".........:) no pics of my '69 'burban on my 'puter.....but I will soon, once I start swappin' in the big block! Also have a VW Baja project...not much to look at right now....progress is slooooooooowwwww too many irons in the fire!:lol:

The Charger was my first car....it's been through ALOT.....original R/T, 440, AT, AC, PS, PB, PW, yada, yada....I swapped in a 4 speed a few years ago....alot of fun, esp with 4.10s....:thumbs: has some rust in the 1/4s, but I can't bring myself to take it apart to fix it, 'cause I'll end up going through the WHOLE car...I can't afford to do it RIGHT at the moment.....plus it's too fun as it is!!!

NICE CHARGER!! VERY NICE!!:metal:


So your a quad guy now huh?? Why'd ya give up the 2 wheeler?

Here's my bike:

2001 Honda XR 400. I've converted it to dualsport (that's a whole thread in itself)

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

THANKS!

I always liked XRs.....grew up on one.
As for getting rid of my bike....I wanted a bike for the sand that my wife could putt on too....plus I had a few BIG crashes at the MX track at SIR....broken wrist, ripped the end of a finger off, etc.....but now she really can't ride the quad much (MS), so building her the VW(although that may change to a 4Runner here soon);)
I'd like to get another 426, it ruled in the sand and was a very nice, reliable bike....
I do need another dirtbike.......

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

Yeah I can understand the "can't afford to get hurt anymore" scenario as well as double duty toys. I converted my bike to more dualsport capability so I can do more longer easier trips with my dad. I can ride the rough stuff but my body won't take it as well anymore. Takes me all week to recover.:(

YZ 426 is a MONSTER on the sand. Have a few friends with those and a few with the new YZ450's & CRF450's. I don't need that much power anymore. I'm just happy to be able to get out and ride at all!

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

Hahaha! Yeah.....I should stay away from the track these days.....
But the sand.....that's different, tricky on a bike, but once ya get the hang of it, it's a BLAST! Lay the bike over like a crotch rocket and do 5th gear wheelies for days...........and crashing doesn't hurt (as bad...hahaha)


64 pickup---->hotrods----->dirtbikes.......makes sense to me!:b69:
Maybe this needs moved to OT discussion....he he he........

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

Where do you go riding?? Moses? Florence?

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

The only place I've been so far is Sand Lake a few times ....cause of how close it is....I wanna hit up Winchester Bay, Coos Bay, and Florence....it's hard coming up with the time and $$$$ to go.....especially with cars to build!!!!

My wife at Sand Lake in her sandrail....(traded it for a tubbed out, caged '67 Camaro:sexy: )...

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

I feel your pain!! Time? What's that?

Yeah the sand is fun.. A long time ago, way back when I belonged to a jeep club. We used to go all over the place. A few guys had rails. One guy had one with a Mazda rx7 engine that was badazz!! Could do wheelies for miles!! Everything that requires gas is $$$ anymore. My Crew cab has the 454 and thing gulps a gallon every 10 miles. Makes it tought to tow a trailer or go very far with a load of bikes.

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

If your dont wanna get hurt riding a dirt bike you should buy a jet ski lol but I can say i have come away with a bruised calf and a sore neck but thats it I really need to put a triple carb set up on mine :) it wouldn't be to hard to make but first would have to come up with 3 identical carbs that could be interesting btw I'm a machinist so i could cnc some manifolds up for it next year what carbs do you guys like?

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

I have quite a few jobs for you if you are interested...buhaha. Involves my 83 dirtnapper. :D

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

Huh??

I think i'd rather take my chances on my dirtbike in the woods. People are idiots on the water with the JetSkis and rideons. I would rather not be plowed over by a 10yr old kid on a 1000cc 700lb boat!!

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

my supermoto wheels off my cr500.. It would look cool as hell with them. Plus it's fun!!!:metal:

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

This is what it looks like on the bike..

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

sorry. when I got the email on my phone I had about 6 beers (real Dark beers :alc::barn: )in me and wasn't quite thinking straight.

Yeah those would look absolutely sweet on my bike but shipping that stuff to me would be kind of prohibitive.$$$:crazy: THOSE ARE NICE!!! I do want a second set of wheels for riding on the streets. How much modfication do you have to do to the brakes to get those to work??? Are those Talons??

Funny thing.. My bike has been modded quite a bit since that last shot. I now have:
Acerbis Cyclops headlight
Cycra handguards
XRs Only rack
Endurance computer
Fatbars abd risers
And all my street legal gear on there now. I have put some $$ into it.:alc: :barn:

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

Hey Eastside....I saw that truck last year at Goodguys in Puyallup.....that truck RULES!
Great detail, built well and some cool parts to boot!!!

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

I just love that Charger. Thanks for posting the pic.

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

I've seen both of those cars many times. I've run down the freeway with him a couple times going to shows.

Ever seen this car before>>> He lives down the road from me. Names Rolf-

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

YES!!! Never met Rolf....but have looked over (admired) his coupe a few times.....one of the NICEST A's in Wa......

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

Mornin Josh....

He was at my "meeting" 2 weeks ago.. He's such a kewl guy.. Easy goin. Neat guy to know for sure... So did you get your photos done yet??

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

Funny you should respond this morning..

A guy I work with here that I never even woulda thought even changed his own oil has a Model A pickup he might be sellin??? I asked him what kind of money and he said cheap :rolleyes: We'll see how we go....

Re: I want this so bad but?
 

Ya that is Talon hubs. If you look at the pic with just the wheels you will see a bracket at the bottom of the pic, that go's in place of your bracket. That is how you get the brakes to fit and it will stop fast!! That is what you need.. $750.00 for it all.

Re: I want this so bad but?
