Surely Jersey is just as cold, if not more so.
However, I'll admit to sometimes going through moto withdrawal so much that I'll suit up in a thousand layers of everything warm in the closet, and go for a blat until either my soul is assuaged or I blackout from hypothermia, whichever comes first.

02-13-2012, 01:17 AMGardo, that was an interesting blog post you just put up. I found myself nodding in agreement quite a bit. In the last year I have become a full-fledged small displacement convert.
Like anyone else who has been a petrolhead long enough, I once lusted after unholy amounts of horsepower and chassis-twisting torque. Hot rods, Jeeps, and motos, all modded to set my hair on fire at Mach 1 with just the slightest tap of the go pedal or the slightest goose of the throttle.
After years in that game I found myself fundamentally unsatisfied--not with the machines themselves, but with something in myself. After much introspection I realized that I had become an addict to chasing more: more power, more bragging rights. It had become a race for nothing but ego, an endless race for higher dyno numbers. Literally, I was only satisfied when my machines made more power than some other guy's machines.
I was no longer having fun--all my toys were shallow, ersatz penis enlargers. I was no longer having fun.
I did a complete about-face. I made a conscious decision to go back to what was fun. I gave up all the hot rods and 4x4s, and ran back to the arms of my first love: motorcycles, and nothing else. Furthermore, I made another conscious decision to go back to what I had originally found fun about motorcycles so many years ago: simple and lightweight. Riding simply for the sake of riding.
All of my toys now actually please me because I no longer care about being a pretentious asshat; you know, one of those jerks you see at the stoplight drag races. I now only ride ultra lightweight, small displacement single cylinder motorcycles. My greatest concession to complexity is (sometimes) electronic fuel injection. I will never go back.
I am happier than ever.

Dude thats awesome, I know the feeling. there is at some point a fever for more power that has an unquenchable thirst. for me the Heist is back to basics. I still modded it to get the most out but this was more to get her to run the way I like to run, more long distance at a steady pace these days.
Thanks for sharingGardo northern NJ/NYC

02-16-2012, 03:36 AMhi every one. I have been riding a small honda for the past few years (cb125, 1978) and this past year i was considering making it into a bobber, that was until i read the Maine state laws concerning rigid framed bikes, and realized that there was no way in hell it would pass inspection. I had the bobber bug in my brain and soon found 'tha heist'. I was skeptical due to it being a china bike, and from reading horror stories about the dongfang bobber. this site has been a great help in getting me to pull the trigger. picked up my bike (SHA heist) this weekend. flipped the bars ala the 60's cafe seen, fixed a suzuki k15 "hillbilly" tank and lowered the taillight to give it a smoother line. not done yet, but i hope you all like it so far. more at SHA blog
