That 03 Gixzer is Schwweeet!!

Thanks! Glad you appreciate it....

Yoshimura cams, trick valve springs w/ti retainers/keepers, variable sprockets, Yoshimura 0.45mm gasket - 12.75:1 compression, titanium full race system w/carbon fiber pipe, powercommander, kevlar brake lines, gaffer sintered metal pads, secondary butterflies removed, Arata racing adjustable rear-sets, misc. cf parts sprinkled, etc, etc.... pretty quick. Dyno'd at 173hp once on a pretty optimistic dyno... seat of the pants tells ya, not TOO far off, perhaps. 3rd gear throttle only power wheelies.... WHAHOOOOOO!!!!


(Good thing I live in Ohio w/nice road surface and strait-a-ways to play... )

(NOTE: the list for the "Old School" '86 is 5 times as long.... SCARY!!!)



This shot is of an IDENTICAL bike to my GAMMA project.... If you like TWO STROKES.... then this is TRULY motorcycle bliss..... completion timing --> May '07 CAN'T WAIT!!! (It'll be a half-liter 4 cylinder 2-cycle weighing in at about 320lb WET putting about 120-130bhp to road.... do the math on power to weight sometime!!! heh, heh, heh.... )

PS: The Gamma is a 1986 motorcycle!!! I've wanted this bike since the same year, when I graduated high-school.... it took me TEN years to locate and obtain mine.... and now, another TEN to complete (ALMOST) the project..... For you MX'ers out there, just imagine FOUR RM125's turning the SAME rear wheel in a "Cafe-style" bike.... VIOLA! GAMMA time!

Snapped the moon a few weeks ago... thought it turned out pretty good...

Shot on Sept. 8th, 2006 in my backyard with Nikon D50 w/Nikkor AF180mmED 2.8 on 2x adapter (equivalent to 540mm in digital focal length...) for 1/6th second underexposed for 2 stops (to bring out the texture) at f8 on a Bogen Panhead tripod.

My boys helped by NOT touching anything....

I just found this shot of my little '87 Yamaha YSR-50. I stuffed a YZ-80 motor that has a mild port, and a Calamari racing pipe from JDM, large carb, sprocket/chain conversion, front suspension, braided front line & Ferrodo pads... etc... I had to attach the radiator with Nylon ties, and used a garden hose for the plumbing.... (until I got some proper coolant hose...) I actually threw this thing together on a whim one weekend, with misc. stuff around the garage and basement. (Plus the motor I picked up that afternoon...) Because of the rearranged gear-shift linkage, it was "REVERSE SHIFT" pattern, 1-up, 4-down... It would throttle wheelie in 2nd, and go about 80mph... you pass people and you're barely visible out their side windows!!! They ALWAYS freak out! HA!

A buddy took it for a ride, couln't believe how fun it was.... went out and began to really thrash on it, then made a fatal down-shift from top of 3rd BACK to 2nd when he forgot it was reversed....

I'm still waiting to rebuild the motor next spring... I've got over 2700 in this from start.... but I'll probably sell it at Mid-Ohio Superbike race weekend for 12-15hundred this summer....

Thought I'd add this shot of my OLD '84 Supra... (Sorry, it's small!) That car had 227k miles on it when I sold it... still ran great! (180-200k in the photo...) Also added my HID shots.... (I know, I still need a "spread" against a wall...)
