Mtjm2, You have 15 total post's here. Been a member since April, 2011. You don't want to "sh*t where you eat". You just may need help from one of these fine "Old Schoolers" one day. BTW... "cabinitmaker" is 2 words. Peace unto you my Brother. (Message edited by onebadx1 on June 02, 2011) | ||

Does anyone know what he's talking about? I simply commented on a "feature" of that forum that Brother posted a link to. I may not like others styles, but I will always appreciate good workmanship. Thanks Jramsey. I've owned that bike since it was brand new. "Cheep" like the sound a baby bird makes? Or cheap like inexpensive? Whats a tractor rider? | ||

Oh! So a tractor rider is one of those great people responsible for planting, growing, harvesting and bringing to market all sorts of food conveniently packaged so I can feed my family. I guess if someone thinks "tractor rider" is a bad thing they should grow all their own food, or take the easy road and just stop eating. Thanks for grouping me in with the tractor riders mtjm2, but I don't feel as though I've really earned the honor. | ||

wow to this thread. Not the subject, just peoples closeminded-ness about bikes | ||
| Ratbuell |
So I'm trying to figure out from the thumbs in the transmission gear ad...did the bike catch fire? Go down? It is a shame about the S1...but mine's worth that much more now   | ||
| Rodent |
It kinda looks like it went down in some mud AND caught fire. Question: what is the finned tank with the yellow cap on the left side of the motor? And why wouldn't they hose off some of the mud before taking the pics? | ||
| Onebadx1 |
Jramsey, I saw "tractor rider" and thought of this! Yeah baby!   | ||
| Harleyms |
Rodent, I actually saw the ebay auction for that finned tank, they had it listed as a OEM oil tank...funny part was it had Polaris cast into the side of the tank lol so I'm guessing the "builder" installed it in place of the original "ugly ass oil tank" as he called it.... | ||

It's a shame that when these type of things happen the people, some how, manage to find a pretty nice machine to start with. |
