Boys Toys
 

A few months ago i bought a motorbike mainly for getting around a bit cheaper with petrol prices sky high, i always wanted one just never seemed to find time.
Anyway its now become my favorite toy (apart from the obvious one) :rolleyes: every time we get a decent day im burning rubber with my big chopper throbbing between my legs, actually its only a small bike but next year i plan to invest in a Harley or Virago cruiser, there such sexy looking bikes.
I just love getting out in the fresh air, tearing around.

So have you got a favorite boys toy?

Boys toys are for gurls too!
 

This is my toy

Does a blue 95 Corvette count? ;) even when gas was 4 bucks a gallen i still refused to get rid of it

Never said boys toys weren't for gurls Rachel;)
That's a sexy looking bike what is it exactly? looks like a touring bike mabey a Harley, do you get to do alot of touring on it?
Love to see some more pics of it.:)

Yep i think that counts as a boy toy jen.
How about some pics of you and your boy toy;) :innocent:

I'll see what i can do, At the moment the only photo of my vette has the lic plate showing and i don't want to show that so i need a new photo. Jennifer

after and way after. Too expensive to drive now.

It's an 02 Harley Road King.

Beautiful
 

:turnon::turnon::turnon::turnon:,Now that is a thing of beauty,WOW,sheer class with two wheels.I have a hard on just looking at it:D

thing of beauty
 

You must have gotten confused when you clicked quote. You obviously meant MY bike. lol wink wink

A Black Triumph Street Triple 675. Had loads of bikes.

the vincent black shadow and a ducati 900
the Ducati 900 is so finely engineered and balanced and torqued that you can do 90 mph in fifth through a 35-mph zone and get away with it. The bike is not just fast -- it is extremely quick and responsive, and it will do amazing things.... It is a little like riding the original Vincent Black Shadow, which would outrun an F-86 jet fighter on the takeoff runway, but at the end, the F-86 would go airborne and the Vincent would not, and there was no point in trying to turn it. WHAMO! The Sausage Creature strikes again.
There is a fundamental difference, however, between the old Vincents and the new breed of superbikes. If you rode the Black Shadow at top speed for any length of time, you would almost certainly die. That is why there are not many life members of the Vincent Black Shadow Society. The Vincent was like a bullet that went straight; the Ducati is like the magic bullet that went sideways and hit JFK and the Governor of Texas at the same time.

i don't realy know anything about motorbikes i just cut and pasted this together

Wow that's an Indian right, only ever seen one like that over over here in the uk.
That's looks a beast of a bike

OK Rachel, start drooling. My Indian cost $115 in the sixties, my brother had FIVE of them! It is definitely FEMALE, on a bright sunny day it will ride like Heaven, on a rainy day it will kick me over the handlebars.
I grew up with BSAs and Hondas, my friends had Triumphs and dirt bikes, the local bike shop had a Black Shadow in the Show Room. Gorgeous Bike.
My buddy now has an old MG that costs a fortune in upkeep and tuning, I wouldn't mind having a vette or a car with personality, but since the traffic where I live is a nightmare, I go PRACTICAL now. (sigh)

Indians
 

Hmmm Harley just had their 105th anniversery and Indian is how many now? Oh yeah they went out of business long time ago

indians
 

Must have ben those big fenders that did them in! lol No seriously if thats what you like ... I just never found them attractive

Indian motorcycles
 

Maybe if you let me ride it sweetie I'll change my opinion lol. I like the before pic without the front fender. Makes it meaner looking.

oops
 

:lol:Sorry Rachel,did'nt mean to offend you,the Harley is a beautiful bike,but don't see too many Indians in England.
So what is that power like between your legs:D

My girl toy

toys
 

Nice Vette Jen!

England
 

What do you see on the road in England? Here you see everything. Old and new. Lots of old cars too. As far as the other question... I've been told I must like big,black,hot throbbing things between my legs NOT!

Thanks, It's my baby :D Jennifer

I. Envy. You.

Corvettes and Mustangs are the only decent cars to come out of the USA!

OOHHH i love the new Mustangs with the 60s retro look :yes: Jennifer

Retro looks
 

Speaking of retro cars... I want one of those new Challengers! Has to be red or black dont like the orange ewww One of you nice guys should buy me one

My toy is 74 Sportster XLCH. It's currently in pieces. I stripped it down several years ago because it needed extensive work. It had to be repainted, all the gaskets and seals needed replacing, the motor needed an overhaul, the spokes had to be rechromed, relaced and tightened, plus several other minor repairs. So far all I've done is install a carb kit, fix the primary drive, and have it repainted. I'm pretty well at a dead end for a while. I need a garage where I can keep it out of the weather so that I can pull the motor and transmission and overhaul them. After that I've got to pull the forks so that I can replace the boots and seals, replace the tires, pull, clean and relace the spokes, redo the brakes and lines, rewire it completely, and several other small things. I have no idea when I'll be finished although it would be nice to get it back on the road.


If I had the money there are some other toys I would like to get such as:

A sled - since I live in a climate where we get snow for 4 to 5 months I might as well enjoy it. I've been thinking about a one-up Yamaha with enough power to give me whiplash from a standing start.

A quad - actually two of them. I want a sporty one with a chain drive that will go like snot and big workhorse with a shaft drive. Naturally I'll want the accessories that go with my workhorse such as a blade, a snowblower, fender bags, and I'm sure there are a few other things that I would like.

A boat - an 18' Glastron with a stern drive is about right. The lakes around here are big and it's really nice to have a big boat to go out on them.

A fifth wheel camper - I like to be comfortable now when I go camping.

Of course I'll need a big truck to pull my camper and boat. Dodge Ram comes to mind or perhaps a Toyota. Regardless of which truck I get it'll have to be a diesel.


Reality is I'll be lucky to get my bike back together anytime soon and unless I suddenly come into a lot of money I won't be getting any other toys.

And do you need a bedwarmer for that camper?:rolleyes::censored:

Every man does!

i got a turbo charched 2000 honda accord

Hey ila
http://books.google.com/books?id=TO-...sult#PPA141,M1

The 750 flat track racer has the same bottom end as a Sportster, except it has improvements like bearings instead of bushings, etc. If you want a QUICK bike, it might be fun to look into it.

well.....
 

:D,A lot of the older bikers go for harley's or Triumphs,nicely customised,but then you get your weekend racer types who zoom around on the newer style bikes.As for me,i hav'nt touched a bike for 23 yrs,ever since a nice gentleman in a big merc sideswiped me,causing me to slide for 50 yrds on my skin between oncoming cars,nice of him i thought:D

Mustangs
 

:D,I fell in love with mustangs when i was working in Palm springs in 1987,there was a guy who was staying at the Hilton,he had a beautiful red convertable,i shoy my load.And there is a guy who is staying at the hotel i am working in now,he has a gorgeous yellow and black baby,so sleek and powerful,again i shot my load:D

Thanks for the link jim. I'm torn between keeping everything completely authentic or using newer innovations/technology to improve the ride and performance. At least if I use bearings instead of bushings it won't be visually obvious.

In my DREAMS I have a '99 Nissan Skyline GT-R... That's in my dreams of course...

This would be my humble toy... :cool:

I love most old bikes, but BMW's are my favorite.
Current toy is a BMW R-100/7.
Toy I have my eye on is this R-100 RT Tourer.
Excellent bikes, well made, easy to work on yourself (on those rare occasions)
and runners boy. Ride across Texas without a hickup or even a sore butt.
Good in the slop too...

My project toy is this old pick 'em up!!
Great to take your friends down to the swimming hole or river for a float!

:D Love those old bikes! That Indian is a beaut! (Nice photo too)

Jen, I'm with you! lol I love corvettes too, specially the model '67 and the Z06

Hey Jen, when I get my Tesla do you want to try 0 to 60? :D
Randolph

Oh i love that Vette but it's a 68 or 69 not a 67 which was the previous body stlye . :yes: Jennifer

You better get it fast as i'm affaid fast cars may soon be a thing of the past, I hear Chevy is dropping the Corvette in there restructing :eek: So Tesla's may soon be history also :( Jennifer

My boy toys
 

My M44 Mosin-Nagant and M1 Carbine :P

Is GM really gonna do that? ohh that's sad... I really wanted to see the rebirth of the Camaro :(

Another boy toy

ATI HD4870, Anyone who is into computers, knows why lol

Hey TheAngryPostman, where did you get that mossin from? it's a great WWII weapon

Got it at a local gunstore. It only cost $79.00! I should have kept rummaging through the store though, because they had a Mosin-Nagant sniper with the PU scope, scope mounts and turned down bolt for $150.00. I missed out on that sniper one because I was in a rush. :(

Very nice! Looks like a Gran Sport. :respect:

Nice bike! :respect:

Hi there.

You can always photoshop it away...

Win comes with paint, it IS very rudumentary, but it WILL do the job.

My Toy
 

Yes Vette lovers come from all walks of life, Sadly this weekend my Vette will go in to storage for the winter and not reappear till next may


:frown: Jerseygirl Jen

no offense but the c4 corvette is possibly the ugliest of the corvettes. hopefully by now u have upgraded to another generation. btw i have a 1980 l-82 corvette black wit t-tops.

How can you not love the C4s they rock and there is no way i'll get rid of my 95, if i ever buy another vette it'll be a C3 between 69 to 77 the 68s have way to many glichs and 78 to 82 has the ugly bubble back window just my humble opion but any vette if worth having in your garage


:yes: Jerseygirl Jen

Hang on to your Gran Sport!
 

Jerseygirl Jen:

Your "C4" Gran Sport is an awesome car and by far the best of the C4's. It is already a collectible. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! :) :respect:

And to all 'Vette owners--whatever kind you have, it's ALL good! And don't forget to wave! :cool:

Andy

Actually i didn't buy it because it was a GS i brought because i loved the colors and i loved the white stripe and how it looked, When i brought it it was on the used lot as someone traded it in on a new 02 Corvette and i've had it ever since and i just love it and will never sell it

Gee, Jen, if you put you vette up on blocks already aren't you worried that there will be a whole bunch of bored Jersey cops? They won't have a hot girl in a hot car to pull over for the next several months. :D

what a bummer:(

Good let someone else help pay the NEW JERSEY budgett short fall


:lol: Jerseygirl Jen

True but here in NJ the leaves are starting to turn and autum is in the air and the temp is droping so it's time to put the Vette up till spring, Now if i lived in SO CAL like it says you do then i'd be able to drive the Vette year round but sorry your states exhust laws are way to strict for me and i'd have to deturn my Vette


:frown: Jerseygirl Jen

Yeah, Cali blows. Anything that can be considered "fun" is regulated. Can't wait to get out of here.

Looks like we found something we can agree on,My boyfriend had a chance to tranfer to the branch out there in SO CAL and we came real close to moving out there but i checked out a lot of things and we decided to stay here, Sorry but your states car laws suck big time as does it's fee's


:frown: Jerseygirl Jen

Thankyou for the link.

Snow is not really a problem here when driving trucks. Most people, around here, that have a two wheel drive truck put sandbags and patio stones on each side of the wheel well. It works quite well for providing traction. We also don't get that much snow accumulation here. It just comes early and stays around a long time.

I won't be getting a big truck any time soon. My main interest lies in working on anything mechanical, from small chainsaws up to the biggest piece of equipment I can get hold of. I will admit though that the electronics systems on modern vehicles are beyond my capabilities.

Well the only boys toys i have is a 50 inch plasma TV and Home Theater
sound System and my trusty Subaru Forester.

Oh yeah my trusty model 19 357 magnum it looks just like the photo
i do have a licence to carry by the way.

can it be that as well?

Nice! When I get a pistol, I'm gonna aim for a 1911 or an M9.

Here's my toy that I bought last month. It's a Roush Mustang. The interior is great too. It feels like you're sitting in a cockpit. And the acceleration can definitely be measured in terms of Gs.

beautiful car - roush in my opinion are the best pony's ever built course im more of a z28 fan myself so what do i know.

still a beautiful machine

it's gone
 

Just traded my vette yeap it's long gone, i replaced it with a 71 Cuda conv with a 383 6pack and it green with white int and auto trans, The photo below is not a photo of my car as i need to take a photo which i will later but the photo will give you an idea of what my car looks like and a clue to those who don't know classic cars
:yes: Jerseygirl Jen

Nice choice, Jen. There's something about a Cuda that no other car can match. You may correct me if I'm wrong, but I think most Cudas were hardtops and convertibles were a rarity. Are you going to repaint it or leave it green? I can see you'll be turning heads next summer when you're cruising along with the top down.

I have no idea if one is more common then the other i made the trade because i like the car and i know the owner as he's a custmer at the bank i work at and he always asked how my vette was and last week he said he'd trade cars even up and yesterday i gave him a call and made the trade, As for the green paint job it was painted like two years ago so for now it stays green but the stupid 8track has to go

:yes: Jerseygirl Jen

Has to go? You mean you don't want to listen to some Kenny Rogers on 8-track while you're cruising down the highway?;):lol::p

It looks like you have found another car that you'll enjoy driving, and that is nice. You obviously miss your old car, and getting another that you enjoy will help ease the pain a little.:)

I don't want to hold em or fold em or listin to em on CD let alone on 8track :no:
And this car like my old vette has a few thing in common one they look great two they have big engines and lots of ponies under the hood and last but not least i always wanted a conv so that ment the vette would have to go as i can't have two cars that are for spring and summer only
:yes: Jerseygirl Jen

Jen, I must admit that the hold 'em and fold 'em comment made me laugh!:D

It was worthy of some positive Reputation for you, and it finally looks like I've spread enough around to be able to give you some more! Thanks for the laugh!:cool::)

And I am looking forward to seeing a picture of you tooting around the countryside in your new car with the top down! Well, perhaps tooting around isn't what I'm looking for...I know! ROARING down the highway with some AC/DC blasting from the speakers! Yeah...good stuff.:respect::cool::)

This call screams out for the BEACH BOYS, We'll have fun fun till daddy takes the Cuda away

:yes: Jerseygirl Jen

If I hear a Beach Boys song playing I'll check to see if it's a cuda driving down the road. If so, I'll wave hello.;)

Nice car Jen! :respect: :drool:

Called in sick today so i could get insurence on it then i went to the DMV to pay all the BS fees and boy were they pissed because there was no sales tax involved but anyway sfter all the fun there i got to take my new car out for a spin and no i didn't drop the top but it still rode nice and that damn 8track has to go as do the speakers sounds like the car only has two speakers yuck what were they thinking?
:eek: Jerseygirl Jen

They were thinking that any more than 2 speakers of Kenny Roger goodness would be considered torture.;):lol:

Well it could be worse it could be Glen Cambell or John Denver


:eek: Jerseygirl Jen

That would just be cruel and unusual punishment, Jennifer!:eek::lol:

Well most of the time i play FLEETWOOD MAC/BRUCE SPRINGSTEN/ TOM PETTY/JOURNEY/THE CARS/WAN HALEN DAVID LEE ROTH VH/IRON MAIDEN/KISS
:yes:Jerseygirl Jen

Some of that music is quite kick-ass! Wanna get married?;):D:cool::respect:

I will be next June


:yes: Jerseygirl Jen

Congratulations!:hug:

What day will you be getting married?:)

Will you be placing any pictures on the forum of your wonderful day?:)

Thanks and the date is sat june 19 and i'm sure no one wants to see me in a wedding dress


:yes: Jerseygirl Jen

Why wouldn't they? You would make a lovely bride. I wouldn't BS about something like that.:)

If you don't feel comfortable posting them in the general forum, you could always post them in a PM to whoever you trusted here.:)

And that is 3 days before my birthday!:cool:

I think most would want to see photos of me wearing what i'll be wearing on the honeymoon
:yes: Jerseygirl Jen

You got rid of your Vette? :( Are you gonna keep your trans am?

That may be true, but I consider you a friend so I want to see you in regular every-day(well, I guess a wedding isn't an every-day occurence, but you know what I mean;)) pictures.:)

Gee thanks


:blush: Jerseygirl Jen

Yeah the Vette got traded and the TRANS-AM is in the shop getting a new engine


:yes: Jerseygirl Jen

So, I heard you like cars eh... lol

Hey I wanna see pictures of that Trans-Am once it gets on your hands ok? it sounds pretty nice tbh.

Speaking of boys toys, I was asked to build a $6k computer, for gaming and video editing. I really don't know how the guy got the money, but, I hope I can build a very nice computer with that cash lol

deadly stuff
 

I just got a crossbow. It's freakin awesome! Way faster then my old compound bow. Pics soon to follow.

I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures. Have you been getting lots of practice with it?

Be careful, Rachel. Those things can go off before you're ready to shoot.

I am not sure if this is the same cat or not, but I remember reading about how a scumwad deliberately shot an arrow(or crossbow bolt) into a cat and left it in the cat. Some kind person saw the poor cat and brought it to the Vet. Believe it or not, the cat made a full recovery! That being said, I would love to kick the "person" who hurt that cat so maliciously in the nuts with my steel-toed boot.:censored:

And don't forget to set the crows on said scumwad. They know how to tear apart garbage.

That would be too quick of a punishment.:no:

I think we can all share ass-kicking duties at the same time. Our legs may get tired, after all.

Walther p38, but as an airisoft gun

crossbows
 

Naw it wont "go off". It has an automatically engaging safety when you cock it. Your greatest danger of injury with a crossbow is improper placement of the hand and fingers on the foregrip. If any parts of you are above the flight rail they will be amputated. And no gun ever just goes off anyway. You have to act upon it in some way. Either careless handling that might jar it or having your finger on the trigger when it shouldnt be. Back to my bow. Actually it's more like a string rifle lol. Handles more like a firearm then a bow. My son and I could consistantly hit a 2 inch bull at 30 yards. Havent shot it further then that yet. Multi reticle scope has crosshairs to 60 yards.
