The Rats are Multiplying

[jhiggins]

Yesterday a friend of mine calls me up at work and says, :Hey, Higgy I got a present for ya, c'mon over." So I did. Here it is in the back of my truck:

Here it is in all it's glory. A 1981 Honda CB650. No seat or mufflers, but I can't bitch about the price - free.

Here's the other rat, my '81 GS850 Suzuki:

I cut down the seat pan to begin making a solo saddle out of it. Here's a pic of Mrs. H, holding a chipboard mockup of the pannier bags I'm gonna weld up to put on this. I think I'm going for a survial/cruiser-style look for this rat. Parts to get it running are otw to the house as I write this.

What the eff is this! ONLY Coors light in the shop fridge! Only a half-eaten jar of IG's relish in there to keep those silver bullets company. We'll have to remedy this most directly!

Road Trip!

I'm partial to Molson Ice these days...

One on the way back...

Ahh! Back home, safe and sound.

Nemo says, "Hey Dad! Put that beer down and kick this ball for me!"

That should make a nice "Road Warriors" bike. BTW -- that one picture looks like you had the cashier take it. Higgy, did you make the cashier take your picture?

 

[J. Neilson]

Dude, we gotta put a lock on your shop door!!!

I second the Molson Ice!

Yeah the cashier's name is Jen. A real hottie. She used to work for me when I was managing a warehouse a few years ago. She was only 19 then... that puts her at about 24 or so now. Anyway, yeah you'll notice the pic of me was kind of fuzzy. The camera was acting weird. I took her picture, but it came out really bad. No idea why.

LOL! No kidding! Look at this pic. Three atvs, two bikes and all the other stuff. Getting hard to move around in there, and this was taken before I gat that Honda last night!

You buy me a plane ticket and the beer, and I'll help putting all those toys in the repair shop to help you clear some space.

Get some dirtbike tires and hi-rise shocks for the 650 honda. Put a bigger rear sprocket and to heck with mufflers.

Not a bad idea, Mark! Hey you are playing around with an old bike also, huh?

Have you seen this site: http://www.motorrad.cx/

Yep , an old 67 CB450 Black Bomber. Picked up a couple of carbs off ebay a while back. It has been so hot I just lost interest in it for a bit. I'm going to try to get it running good by Spring.

That has a lot of possibilities Jeff. Hmmmm, somewhere I have the plans for a really nice 12 GA semi that will fire from the ignition coil. Just the thing for inconsiderate drivers!

Just need a 12V selinoid and wire it to the horn.Make a bracket to hold it to the trigger. Might as well put on a little pressurized bottle with a little castor oil in it with a line going into the exhast pipe for a smoke screen.

Boy all my plans for Y2K sure went to $hit.

Hey!!! I see my HT'g relish above the skunk piss beer. Bring one of those rats with you to the HI and we can charge $1.00 a hit with a sledgehammer and we can put the proceeds in NECKA's kiddy.

Don't laugh, I'm actually thinking of making a kydex boot for a (legal-length) sawed-off pistol-grip Mossberg 500.

Everybody does that....now when you make one for your bicycle like mine, then you are really tough. I've considered riding my bikes to small town and taking them over for the weekend! :footinmou

Definitely some possibilities with that bike.

But more important than that or the beer is to go back and get us a good pic of jen.

She's really sweet. If I do, she'll think something is funny. If my wife finds out I'm snapping shots of her, SHE'LL think somethings NOT funny! Hmmm... its a farkin PARADOX!

Hey George... you'll be proud of me. I bought some hot salsa made with habanero. It was supposed to be hot. I had to mix some of YOURS in it to spice it up!

Snag a pic of Carmen Electra's backside off Net. Snap a pic of the "empty" counter at the store. Superimpose. Post. Drive forumites nuts with envy! Satisfies your concerns....
