carver's new ride!

[EJK]

I thought you were a nice person until i found out you would highlight everything i say and call me stupid on the forums.

If you are messing with R6_Kid, then you are messing with the wrong guy.

He made skidmark run.


If you know who skidmark is...

[Blackshear]

Anyway... What mods are you going to do to it, carver? I'm assuming they make some aftermarket pipe for it and jet it to match, and from there port it if you wanted to be serious? I think you should make a MFSC full factory version.

I'm with this guy here. Not to say you should throw a small lump of gold at it, but does a sleeper scooter not appeal to everyone else here?

[wbks]

I heard skidmark cried at a KB party, so I don't think making him run is any great achievement...

[EJK]

I think that was R6_Kid too

EJ is the man. And a sleeper scooter would kick ass. I suprised a few guys at school with my old vespa back in teh day, only good up to 70kmh but it got there pretty quick!

[wbks]

Oh damn whats going on there... Anyway - A full on sleeper scooter that can put down low 11 sec 400m times would be awesome. Anyone else think he should put a widowmaker engine into it? Seriously, If I get around to doing some more TIG this year, and come into a bit of cash... I'm going to make a sleeper scooter haha.

Surely you're not thinking a TL thou?
That's far too ott. Imagine the handling at 250k's

there was a vid somewhere of vespa frame with a GPZ900 motor mounted where your feet would normally go, was chain driven to the back wheel which was on a custom swingarm. Mental doesnt start to do it justice.

No, a kawasaki 750 two stroke tripple renowned for having killed MANY of its test riders, and aparantly 3/4 of them brought into NZ were totaled in the first few years they were on the road. I think with some suspension changes and good tires they could do high 10 second runs? Fast for a bike made in the 70's...

[Ixion]

Not quite. The Widowmaker was the 500cc Kawasaki Mach III triple two stroke. They did indeed kill a lot of riders. I owned one, it tried to kill me every time I took it out, used to hear it in the gargre at night rattling its pistons as it dreamed up new homocidal tricks.

Fast as a randy tom cat with a red hot poker up its arse , but lethal. I decided that I preferred living and sold it. Found the remains in a wreckers a year later - didn't kill the guy I sold it to, killed the next one.

The 750 cc version , which came later (and had extras, like brakes) was actually much easier and safer to ride. There were reports that some people even successfully got the 750 to go round corners without throwing the rider off, which you had no chance of on the 500.

"

I was laughing untill "didn't kill the guy I sold it to, killed the next one." which actually sounds pretty mencacing... Does it make me stupid to say their record makes me want to get one later this year when I get my full? Guess so... I remember you mentioned that a while ago but I'd forgoten a bit obviously. A little randy for a scooter then...

Ah, the original widowmaker.
I'd rather the TL over that, thanks. Idle splutter idle splu-NNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[R6_kid:Me]

Gotta say the Kwaka triples sounded pretty hot down and Wanganui!

[wbks]

Poor carver's going to wake up to find we've highjacked his thread 2 pages for e-brawling youngbiker and talking about homicidal (or possibly ranking into genocidal) kamikaze Japanese... No, not mitzi, it's Kawasaki this time

How many S3 350s are around now. I had one brand new for three weeks when i first started wok and sold it before it killed me.Very hard to go around corners when the power band kicks in and there is only the rear wheel on the ground.
