Z50 is in the dead center of the picture, the wheel is sticking out between the trashcan and what looks like a desk. YZ is up and to the right a little bit. The number plate gives it away.


And yes, I can find Waldo. :mrgreen:

 

[R13]

Good eye :lol:

Now you see why I can't really work on it. :rolf:

I swear neither of my parents should have access to trucks because their hoarding asses constantly pile shit in my fucking way only for it to sit down there for a year+ until I get bored and destroy it just to watch them get pissed or until they agree to get rid of the shit because they don't need it.

 

[94RS]

As long as they don't have a box full of old Butterfinger wrappers, I think you'll be alright :lol:

 

[R13]

Don't know if you saw the chainsaw sitting on the z50, but there's a table behind it that weighs about 250lbs and it's missing a leg. It's been down there for 3 years now and I said a few weeks ago I'm using that f***ing chainsaw on that table and carrying it out of there in pieces ... they never said no. :lol:

If I clean that up this time they're not piling it full, I'll burn the shit in the front yard the day they bring it in :rolf:

 

[R13]

I would actually like to clear all that out, paint the walls, get some better lighting and improve the atmosphere a little. My garage is actually pretty f***ing huge but it's crammed full to the point stuff is piled up the walls to the ceiling.

Both of the mustangs fit in there end-to-end with about ~2ft on each end and 1ft in between. so that's about 35ft deep and it's wider that it is deep so if I had it cleaned out and redone I could have a pretty sweet place to work on bikes and s*** while I'm stuck in this hellhole. :lol:

Those black dots are support poles btw, and the black box is the heat unit, just put there to show the layout as accurately as possible.

But well... you see what kind of shape it's in now, fucking disaster. :lol:

Then stop talking about it and fucking do it :mrgreen:


Back to bikes... EBR finally fixed a huge problem they had the first time around. The price.

If you make something that has Ducati 1199 performance, you don't list it at the same fucking price as what you're targeting... The new MSRP is less than the 899, which is what they should have done to begin with.

 

[R13]

...Still too much :rolf:

Then stop talking about it and fucking do it :mrgreen:

Aight, soon as the truck's back in action.

 

[94RS]

...Still too much :rolf:

Isn't that what used R1's are going for? :lol:

Apparently they're getting updates next year, so hopefully that stupid fucking LED thing is gone.

 

[R13]

That's about 2k more than a high priced R1, not including fees and all that shit. :lol:

Maybe they'll pull their heads out of their asses and realize how ugly and cheap the RX looks soon, then I'll be more interested. :lol:

 

[94RS]

Since EBR's are just an evolution of 1125's, I'm wondering if the subframe/tail of the 1125 would bolt up to the 1190 :what:

It would at least improve something...

 

[R13]

Probably :lol:

Subframes are easy to modify if you have access to quality aluminum welding

I'd actually be okay with an 1190sx with the 1125 tail and a lightning headlight. :lol:

 

[94RS]

This sounds pretty close to what you're looking for....

It's an old 1125CR (different radiator pods than the R) with the Lightning headlights.

 

[R13]

Minus those god awful fucking scoops :lol:

 

[94RS]

Of course, better looking scoops were all discontinued years ago :lol:

 

[R13]

Figures :lol:
