The Kingston, New York area. (1.5 half north of NYC)
If you wanted to see the riding trail area that we ride at... It's pretty cool to see in the satellite 3d mode. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sh...c86f26066ebf30 Last edited by Fame28; 04-11-2016 at 04:40 PM. |

None to worry. Both my X wives made that decision for me! ;-)

My Hawk, shortly after I got it:
Haven't ridden on a single trail yet, just been riding around the neighborhood or hauling it out to one of the off-road parks to ride. Also stripped it down to the bare essentials and tried a hare scramble on it: Now I'm sort of refurbishing it, hopefully I'll get it plated soon via the VT method and I'll be able to ride around town and do some trails this summer: |

Here is a picture of my hawk. However, currently she is not being used, due to the tires being swapped with ninja ones.
A list of modifications that have been already applied or are in the process of doing so: - 13th front sprocket, 38th rear ninja sprocket. - 520 blue chain. - ninja rims/tires (I also repainted them black). - Trail tech vapor kit (The stock gps cluster is not the best). - Mikuni Carburetor (115 main/30 Slow). - She is also currently plated and registered . - Vinyl wrapping the plastic parts white (I already ordered the vinyl). - Front fender cutting (It does not fit with the ninja rims style otherwise). I was thinking on installing white led strips in the engine bay area and under both fenders. Videos of the supermoto tires swap project will be posted later on (Youtube upload). |

I'm looking forward to seeing the end result of the ninja project, that's going to be a cool bike.

Yes, those photos were taken in my local area of Idaho. The winters are cold and long, but the land is beautiful.

that's what keeps me away, I don't have the natural insulation for cold weather.

Put it to you this way, I wore my Carhartt jacket more when i lived in North Central Florida in the winter than i do here in the Rockies. Spud will attest @ 35* with bright sun and no wind out here you can go out in a T-Shirt and not be cold. I typically wear a light sweatshirt and vest all winter. The secret??? NO HUMIDITY!!! 45* in Florida or North Carolina for that matter, (was in Wilmington at Christmas) is M I S E R A B L E!!!!!!!

I forgot about the Marshin brand. They looked nice back in the day, and then they were gone. I don't recall anyone here on Chinariders having one, which might be why I forgot about them.

I was riding in the Joyce kilmer national forest area today. .....until my chain jumped the sprocket, ground off one of the rivets on the chain and broke. Good news was it was an easy fix
