MBS flaring up

[rob.lafady]

I haven't even finished my wing yet and I'm already thinking about the next bike build. I found a salvage yard with a bunch of NOS Quicksilver fairings, then I found an '83 Kawasaki 454 LTD and thought, that'd be a pretty cool ride, then throw on some bagman bags or Vetter bags and it'd be complete. One little thing....oh yeah, MONEY!!! lol [emoji6]

Yeah, there's always that.

That is why I like being 6'3" and 270+

I don't bother looking at anything smaller than an 850 anymore and that drastically cuts down on the number of MBS candidates!

 

[Larry Fine]

I can relate! I'm also 6'3", and used to weigh around 375 for way too many years. Now, I'm well below 250, and have stayed here for the past 4 or 5 years.

Between that weight loss, and my '96 Nighthawk 750 weighing almost exactly 100 pounds less than my old '82 Nighthawk 750, it seems like I'm on a bike with twice the power.

My more of a daily driver is my 1100. I also have a Suzuki DR650. It has some poop, but I miss the 850 and over power. Hence forth mods to the 650 to make faster and funner.

Larry, I'm feeling that pain right now, I'm 5'10" and I'm currently weighing in at around 311, but I am on my way down! I would love to just be able to stay around 250ish, we'll see where I end up! My mom told me the other day she had a dream that the guy that bought my dads old XS11 drove it up the driveway, got off, handed her the keys and title and just walked away, I told her we'll just call that a prophetic dream! lol
