for "1 sec" I missed this bike.
« on: February 28, 2014, 07:31:58 AM »
then i came to my senses about this friggin' Yamaha. But i seen old pics of it and for 1 and on;y 1 sec I missed it.

I use these drive-in ramps (buy the ones rated for heavy bikes).  They take took the pressure of every bike I've owned being loaded into them that I've hauled to date including driving a 'busa and ZX14 in.



The pics had me reminiscing



That was quite a trip to the dragon/cheroholla/foothills parkway, but i got out of it with a warning  :beerchug:



But good times indeed.





Then back in Tampa







At the track 2-up (Road Atlanta)



Day I got it, and my friend who did the paperwork













camping!

thank you sir, those pics caused me a  "fleeting thought" that I miss this bike.  I really don't though, good times ahead with so many others  ;D

Is there absolutely any way to make the C14 as powerful a tail-magnet as the R1?  :P

Tie some 100 dollar bills to a string and ride around Daytona for about 2 minutes during Bike Week..

Is that a Black Widow Ramp?  If so, what length was/is it?
