Blast from the past
« on: October 26, 2010, 04:32:02 PM »
Came across some old pics that are on my computer and thought I'd share... 

this has got to be 2006 - me with my '02 F4i and nOOky with his ZRex.  Good times, good times!! 

Those who have actually NEVER tried riding the track could learn a thing or 10 about being a better streetrider; because let's be honest; none of us (Greg) are as great as we think we are. LMAO!

and one from 2008 with nOOky's girlfriend Diane.  Overlooking the Mississippi near LaCresent.

If you have some to share, please do so!

You guys look like you're in a band. :)
These people have taught me more about riding than any day spent on a track: Larry B, Tony K, Vince J, Mr. Wonderful, V2Neal, Marty F, Kevin B, Devon W, Ehrich, Mike A, John L, Arnell, Kirk, Ray C

Track days are like climbing the rock wall at REI.
Perhaps I need to stop taking the high road.

LOL at the house.  The only thing that was missing from that scene was the banjo music.  After reviewing all these pictures one thing is clear...

I should buy a treadmill.  ;D

Yikes, sorry my pictures are so big. How do I add them as thumb attachments and not embedded?

Since this thread is titled, Blast from the past. I will go way back, in the way back time machine.

Please excuse the quality as there were no digital cameras back then, so these are pictures of pictures.

The sisters, 1985 Kawasaki Ninja 600's (the first true 600cc sportbike) Metzeler ME33 Comp K tires on the street bike and Michelin Hi Sports on the racebike.
The rental unit, one of my "used up" old 600 racebikes, painted in that flashy pink and white paint scheme, well it matched my Z custom leathers at the time.

Circa...1986 or 1987 or 1988?

 Here was my idea of winter storage, all three bikes were on display on the showfloor. This would have been winter of 1989.
1989 ZX1000 Ninja, 1989 ZX-7 and 1985 Ninja 600 ( I always had a good relationship with Ninja 600's.)
The Ninja 600 even has a mannequin with full leathers and helmet and boots in a full race tuck, of course the neck is broken....lol


oh and notice some of the inventory, boysen reeds, dial a jet and points/condensor kits....lol boy does that date the bikes of the era

 The 256,000+ mile 1988 Kawasaki Ninja 600. Kept that bike for 19 years, and saw plenty of other bikes come and go during that time. It served me well, and traveled to and through, I think 40 states in those miles.

The bike when originally painted in 1993, well the green was glow in the dark paint, the windshield also almost glowed in the dark, flourescent green, even had flourescent green spiral wrap over the SS brake lines.....by 2000 or 2001 the green no longer would glow in the dark, however it still attracked alot of attention and questions, by then it was mostly....WHY?
