Talking *Pic* and Storyz

Hey dudes, it is finally summer and I will FINALLY be able to reunite with my bike and do some mad riding .

Last summer I beat the piss out of my bike, almost breaking off the entire tail and the engine stopped working properly. I wasted about a month of the summer fixing the bike and getting it back to working condition. I wish I had a before and after picture to see the mad amount of work I put into it but I only have an after. I fixed the following

-unclogged the carb
-replaced the gas on/off valve
-fiberglassed/sanded the broken tail
-repainted the entire bike
-Made a custom durable chain guard that actually blocks the entire chain instead of that flimsy stock tinfoil crap

Here is a picture:



Unfortunatly as soon as I fixed it I brought it to college as transportation and recieved a $100 fine for driving on the sidewalk and got my REAL DRIVER'S LICENSE SUSPENDED for 30 days for driving a motorvehicle without insurance. That was quite harsh IMO. But now it is summer and I am back home reunited with the little beast that I put so much hard work into.

I ALSO Just bought the following (can be seen in my avatar)
-HJC cl-sp helmet
-Motogp TT Leather Jacket
-Tecknic Gloves

So I don't have to worry about harming my body like last summer. Well, that is my story, i'm just psyched and had to visit the forum to see what was up.

well thats the thing these bikes are for racing, or putting around in a dissignated area. not a cheap form of transportation to school...

Easy dude. Before bringing it to college I was strictly only an abondoned parking lot rider. When I moved to college I left my two riding buddies behind and left the cag at home. But when I got to college there were two small groups of dudes riding around on pb's so I brought mine up and started riding it hoping to meet some people to race with. Unfortunatly I met a cop instead.

And I'm from minnesota. Well, this summer I'll be in sioux falls sd, but during the school year I am in duluth mn. I have yet to figure out a way to meet new riders so any tips would be great .
