My neighbors gave me a motorcycle!

OK, so it doesn't run....

These are the folks whose son bought my second GS500 out from under me. (I wasn't in a hurry to sell, but he was in hurry to buy!) Now that richard is in Russia for a couple years, his older brother bought the bike for cheap transportation.

I put in a good number of hours with each son, teaching them to ride, helping them work on the bike ... so when their mom saw this object in a gift shop recently, she "thought of me".

Isn't that nice?

That thing is schweet! Looks kinda pricy...

3imo · June 29, 2006, 12:52:07 PM

I didn't know UTAH's manholes looked like quarters. how cool is that.

TadMC · June 29, 2006, 01:15:22 PM

Man thats A HUGE quarter!!!

Looks awesome. You should probably try and upgrade the tires, though.

Unnamed · June 29, 2006, 08:12:03 PM

I'd be more worried about the throttle, it doesn't seem to be connected to the engine.

Alphamazing · June 29, 2006, 08:59:34 PM

The detail on that is awesome! I'm really impressed.

pandy · June 29, 2006, 09:47:06 PM

That's adorable!!!

The little chain looks better than mine right now....

TadMC · June 29, 2006, 09:48:03 PM

Good God, could you imagine if your chain was the same size ration on the GS

Phaedrus · June 29, 2006, 09:48:24 PM

You just watch, that will end up being worth a few thousand $

makenzie71 · June 29, 2006, 09:48:56 PM

clever use of bearings. pretty pimp.

Alphamazing · June 29, 2006, 10:26:32 PM

Is it just me, or does it look like you can adjust the chain tension slightly?

Kerry · June 29, 2006, 10:30:22 PM

I noticed that too, but I haven't checked it out.

The rear wheel rolls, but the chain does tend to get stuck on one of the sheet metal pieces. If I'm able to tighten the chain a bit it should work better.

That is awesome Kerry. It isn't often that you have neighbors of that caliber, they sound like good people.

Well after you adjust the chain,
