Yeah, it's my '58 twin. Just thought more people would get a chance to enjoy this video here. :)
And those Shinko 705s are are nice, huh?

I gotta say ...... that bike is in a pretty good state of tune! Sounds a lot like my Atlas! Brilliant! ;)

Thanks Scooter Bob! You can't really tell from the video, but my neighbors on the 2nd floor who ride heard me making racket so they came out on the balcony and were cheering me on. The older guy tells me after the video "I thought to myself 'that crazy sum bitch is not riding his bike is he?' Then I come outside and you're out here doing donuts. That's awesome!"

It's official, Scottie "crazy" J. 8) 8) 8).

That video was very nice indeed.
I, too, live in the Denver area...Parker.
If only I had the courage and skill to do doughnuts in my 2012 RE sidecar (and my Harley)...maybe when my RE Continental GT arrives...not.
Your bike sounds similar (but different) to my highly modified 1997 Harley...hopefully we will have a chance to meet.
Anyways...great video and I will soon show that to my friends.

This just got me in the Christmas Spirit!

That looks like fun!

Nice! Man, the Blackhawk has a nice growl to it!

-4.0° F you said?
Brr. I tought 20 was cold.
Merry Christmas indeed. Make that twice.
All thumbs up ;D ;D

I don't know if you guys noticed but you should look at my face when I pull back in the garage. Also really liking the sound of running open pipes. Sounds extra nasty. And yes it was a blast! I'll see what it looks like when I get home tonight, maybe I can get my son to video me acting a fool.
enfielddan - I'm actually in Aurora right next door to you. We should get together sometime. :)

You're right about a little PBR, that can was almost empty. LOL

Scottie, getting together would be great but not in this freezing weather.
I sent you a PM with my contact information, and also an inquiry if you can do some paint work and other work since your personal picture had something to do with a Total Custom Paint Shop.
Yes, I would certainly like to see a video of you doing doughnuts in the snow.
-
Man, that takes me back to my snow days in Wyoming with my BSA Spitfire Scrambler! What fun! The merriest of Christmases, dude!

That bike sounds great and looks good too. Enjoy!

I ENJOYED YOUR ARTISTIC CHRISTMAS VIDEO. It was music to my ears, candy for my eyes. As a Yuletide Greeting & sharing of a blessing in common, I'm enclosing a picture of my 750 Enfield Interceptor. Long gone, but never forgotten.
BEST OF CHRISTMASES TO YOU TO. Craig

Who Wants Some More Snow Action?!?!?!

You just need some studded tires and a heated suit! Saw people do that in Iceland. They weren't crazy though, just drank a lot. ;D Not implying anything by that, you seem like a little kid with a new bicycle that can't wait for spring. 8)
-
So much fun lol
I hope the tank is okay after that little slip, because I kind of dented mine at a speed of 0 last year, which was eventually fixed though.
Merry Xmas!
-
@Craig,
That was a beautiful Interceptor you had.
-
Yes Craig, beautiful Interceptor you had.
And the gas tank is fine lol. It was just so cold that 60 seconds into riding my whole body was like "Dude! What the hell are you doing?!" It's a lot of work keeping that big of a torque horse on 2 wheels on ice!

You know ....... I'd do that sh!t on a clapped out YZ Yamaha ..... It takes a REAL man to do it on a NICE bike! Hahahaha! Pretty cool, though ......
-
...It takes a REAL man to do it on a NICE bike! Hahahaha!
How true! I'd be too afraid of dropping it. Hell, I would drop it. Thumbs up Scottie!
-
If I still had my YZ125 if be ripping around wide open 2nd and 3rd gear! But it also weighed 200# less.

First Gear makes a cold weather riding suit for under $200 that gets great reviews. I've read of several people who say that jeans and a t-shirt are all you need under it in sub-freezing weather and you stay plenty toasty and dry. I tried one on once and started sweating in the shop as soon as I zipped it up. You still need to find a way to keep your hands and feet warm and dry but this suit is really nice and really cheap for cold weather.

As for me, I hate to say it but I'm off the bike for a while. It got unseasonably cold really quickly here in the Pacific Northwest, came out of nowhere. With temps in the mid 20s at night it's cold enough that I don't even want to go clean up the garage at night. Brrrrr! But if things go as usual there will be those lovely, 40 degree sunny weekend days every few weeks and I'll sneak out for a little ride here and there. But not today, snow and icy streets on the way to work. Ick!

My old Beezer got dropped a lot. The worst damage it ever got was a bent clutch lever. The second day I road it in the snow, the club was out playing in one of our favorite spots with some trails and a good hill climb . I had bought the bike the day before and had to ride it home in the snow which was adventurous, but I made it with the rubber side down. The next day, leaving the house, which was on a half mile, hill climbing, motocross track of a road, I slid own coming around around a corner and took out our neighbor's log rail fence! Then I want on down to the ride. I ended up falling off thirteen times that day slipping and sliding around in the snow and mud! The last get off was in front of our house going home! My mom said she had never seen so much blue air in one spot before!
It was a great day!

Hilarious, bro! ;D
Got a bud in Aurora with a Versyx and he's done for the season.

Hey! Sometimes you have to create your own fun! :D
I've seen a few of the Kawi Versys (that is what meant right?) around town here. They look like a pretty capable bike, but I don't know much about them.

Oops on the typo. I'm normally a stickler for that. :-[
Yeah, it's his first bike (used), but he got a good deal and so far has had to put very little into it$$$-wise. Likes the handling and natch the MPG.
-
Very cool. My '72 Honda CB175 sees year-round use here in northern Michigan. I don't ride long distances in the icy weather - the wind chill at 60 MPH is crazy, but the looks I get when I pull up to a little diner on a motorbike in the middle of winter are priceless.

Nice remix; I'm all fired up now for the redux ;D
Great moment is when the exhaust smoke is lit up in the light of the head lamp: wow... 8)

I can vouch for the first gear suit. it's what kept me on two wheels for the last 3 years when temps are low. supposed to be mid 20's tomorrow morning, wonder what the wind chill is at 65mph?
-
I have actually looked at that suit before, I do like it, I just never got around to buying one. Maybe I'll pick one up in the Spring after they go on clearance at Performance Cycle.
Scottie

i got it for $159 at cycle gear.

I shared your video on Facebook. Got some "Likes"!

Here's another video playing in the snow. Still trying to figure out the correct position for mounting the helmet cam.

And why do I to hear:
clipclop "brave sir robin" clipclop (coconut clacking)
;D
-
LMAO They're funny! ;D
It's a cheap camera and the waterproof case apparently echos badly when pushing the buttons and stuff. Still a pretty descent camera for what I paid it and I can make GoPro mounts work with it. I've taken a bunch of dash mounted videos drifting around parking lots the last few snow falls that came out all right, but it's definitely not a GoPro for sure.
