    I would have thunk Randy's question would have been about waterproofing, not an ex.

    Riding down the street entertaining the local kids would be amusing, being courageous enough to stop at a bikers road side cafe' for coffee or Pub/Bar for lunch would be when the Real fun would begin. :biggrin:

    Seems a bit of a random question, no and no. Are you 72 and living in 1959 ?

    Spike is one wild and crazy random guy.

    Pictured is Dave Aldana who was damn near banned from AMA racing because he was scaring someone with those leathers. My guess was he was scaring the shit ouf of HD's racing stable.

    A little blurb on Dave and his Norton here:

    Oscar: 2009-04

    I'm not 72 or living in 1959 either. Which proves nothing more than that the world did not begin motorcycle wise or any other wise the day any of us was born. Except maybe this guy Nolan..:)

    Now that's what I call hanging off. :cool:

    Mad sport flat tracking, my trusted VFR mechanic was an old flat tracker who ended his racing career after being flung into a fence busting up his knee.

    Better that than hitting the wall and getting run over. No brakes or rear suspension on those bikes until the early 60s. No shifting once in top. That pic IMO looks like a foot up slide. Probably not, due to the angle and more that the force just threw his left leg back. Dave still competes in vintage flattrack and does track prep.

    Pretty sure that was Dave's "Superman" leathers. Probably by Bates.. HD probably had a hell of a time with those too. Nobody except maybe norkleboy could have a hard on about Superman..;)

    Another great shot of "sideways" is a B&W of one of the fast guys of yesteryear Rex Beuchamp.

    Tedious at best. How about posting up some of those pics from your conquests at the Special Olympics? I know you don't have any of you racing.

    Sad that norlkeboy has the need so badly to use the challenged as a lever to foment his agenda. The overview from Wiki will demonstrate better the goals and achievements of this organization than any words of his choosing.

    Aligning myself with the fast guys of yesteryear could possibly be done pictorially with someone with better Photoshop skills than I. Or, I could bolt on a bunch of Ricky Racer shit , freebies stickers, decals and graphics on my 91, shut the garage door and recreate a paid encounter with some Filipina hooker with thumb , index finger and a shot of Mystery Marvel oil. Naa, that's for the nutters and fourteen year olds.

    BRB..Nolan is coming over so we can plot the downfall of norkeboy the magnificent.

    Badbilly, the blowhard hypocrite. With that batman bike in your gallery, you could really use that ST suit to complete the look.

    The only thing you've ever raced is your mouth. Poser.

    If I had the completely disposable income, I would have the "Shadow Trooper" black, the Batman full replica (with the "blades" on the forearms), the Ironman 2 in red, just for starters. I would wear them whenever I felt like messing around, or for real fun at bike night's in town. I'd get helmets painted to go with as well.

    What I'd really love is a full Superman, especially the black with red S, from after his death.

    I don't live in my mom's house, I have a good job and have contributed to society in many ways (including mine and my kids service to this country); but, I'm also not worried about what anyone else thinks, and because I was a huge comic book and Star Wars fan, I'd rock those suites whenever the tickle fancied me!

    Come on, quite being fake-macho and admit it, if they were cheap enough, or someone else bought it for you (like say for Christmas, hint, hint), you know you'd wear it and have fun doing it.

    If you're ego is so vulnerable, your machismo so false, or your self confidence is so low, you've got other, bigger issues, and should probably be riding a Hardly... :D

    Wonder If they going to have a booth at the Long Beach Cycle show this weekend. Maybe I should go down to see if anybody is sporting a suit.

    Oh after checking it out at least there not way over priced. You would pay about 700-900 for full suit anyways.

    Now were getting somewhere, I rated two posts this time! The troll poser with more rambling nonsense. I find it even more entertaining that you are now attempting to enlist assistance.

    What's the matter Nolan?, a seasoned internet troll such as yourself should easily be able to take on someone who, according to you, lives in their parents basement. What's next Badbilly, you gonna start paying people to be your internet buddies? All the fancy multiple syllabic words and polished diatribes can't change the sad fact of what you truly are, nothing. Those that can, do....those that can't, pretend to be somebody on the internet.
