Triumph...There tranies were bullet proff,they were tuff....Thats were I got the positive ground lesson...

RE: Stryker crsoobow?
 

triumph's were/are cool bikes, I had a chance to buy a norton cammando a couple years ago for a decent price but passed on it, not that I really regret it, I dont know whatI would have done with it anyway...

I have an old kawasaki three cylinder two stroke sitting in my garage, anyone remember those? :D

RE: Stryker crsoobow?
 

yep.Is it Blue by the way..all you hear was a screem and a trail of blue smoke as it went by,back in the mid/late 70's a friend of mine had one and it was FAST for itstime.....

Are you sure you didnt buy it from a guy named Brian:D.His was more around a 900cc...its been alot of yrs ago.

RE: Stryker crsoobow?
 

Motorcycles also a hobby of mine. Here is my Honda.

RE: Stryker crsoobow?
 

Nice ride...I have started to like the Hyabusa(spl)...they are a nice import bike...It not like half of my HD'sdont haveimport parts on them:D.

RE: Stryker crsoobow?
 

suzuki's hayabusa is a nice bike, a little on the big side but your never left wantingmore power or acceleration... ;)


I work on alot of streetbikes, atv's and snowmobiles out of my garage and run into alot of "deals" that are hard to turn down,I've learned to pass on most of them anymore and have actually thinned out the barn a little lately, I still own three sportbikes, two dirtbikes, a couple oddball misc. bikes, my pocketbike, and my kid's dirtbikes, but thats about it anymore...


I stuck with my R1 just because I like it more than any other sportbike I've owned, theres not much of a lack of power there either...

RE: Stryker crsoobow?
 

and this is what I do with it... :eek:

RE: Stryker crsoobow?
 

Still learning to post pics. Hope this one is larger. I thinned out my bike inventory last year, got rid of the HD and the Goldwing, just couldn't part with the custom Valkyrie though.

RE: Stryker crsoobow?
 

I guess thats why I like the Hyabusa is its alittle bigger,Iam used to riding big bikes :D.....speed isnt the problem with me,its the dirt.
I learnd my lesson long ago......My 1st dirt bike was a Yamaha MX250 back in 74....yellow with black decal's....
I just traded off my Polaris trailblazer atvfor a 2007570 artic panther 2 up..didnt ride the blazer cause I figured I would get hurt like allways...I still have my sportsman and ranger,my son has a 50cc preditor but need to get him a 90cc now so my younger son can have the 50.

RE: Stryker crsoobow?
 

Yep that works.....Nice....

RE: Stryker crsoobow?
 

I also noted that the Hayabusa is the same cc as my 80 FLT (1340)....But O so much faster.:D.

RE: Stryker crsoobow?
 

Ranger, I also grew up on a dirt bike in the mid 70's and learned many lesson's on them. In fact a couple of friends I rode with had the same dirt bike as you mentioned, the MX250. I always thought they were so cool looking with the yellow paint and the Yamaha decal they put on them at the time. They were really quick and sounded real good, just like the old Honda Elsinore's that were popular back then. Nice pics of the Harley's, really sharp! I also have always seemed to sway towards the larger bikes, but that Hyabusa is a bike that you have to really respect, that is a ton of power at your fingertips.

RE: Stryker crsoobow?
 

The only thing is that Ive been riding with floorboards and highway pegs for so long I dont know if I could get used to having my feet in a back postion......
Remember the old Indian dirt bikes,they had balls then there were the Hodakas that useally blew up right away if you didnt break them in right...


So How is Stryker doing these days really dont hear to much about them....
