I think I'm as excited as my son. But, maybe it's the trip to the mountains that's got me going. I'm buying a 2001 Blast for my son (who just got his license & motorcycle endorsement) from Brian. I've ordered a Corbin seat for it & have an appointment to have some Motolight's installed during bike week. Then, after he gets a bit of experience, we'll see what Wes & Pammy can do with it  Hey Brian, I'm looking forward to riding in the mountains with you for a few days. I'm glad to help you stay in the top ten! Thanks.} | ||

M2cyclone00 Congrats on the new addition to the family! I was just wondering how old your son was and how much experience he has on 2 wheels? | ||

I teach the equivalent to the MSF Course here on the island and back in October I had my 12 yr old daughter riding our blast around the closed training compound we use. I am proud to say she was a natural. Good Luck to your Son in a safe riding career. | ||

What mods have already been done to it? Is it still carrying the stock exhaust? 2002 and later stock Blasts have a 170 main - when I bought the second 2001 I asked if they would jet it to new spec and they did at no charge. I would see if it could be done for you - unless your main riding altitude will be above 3500. GT - JBOTDS! EZ  | ||

dave we'll see ya next saturday and then I'll show ya some old moonshine trails that got paved. EZ yeah bumped up the jets put on the pro series air cleaner and pro series pipe for now. and like he said from there on when its back down in florida it will sooner or later get the cycleramma treatment | ||

Cool! Sounds like a great ride! Cycleramma is known for their awesome work! Someone is a very lucky young man! I should have known the bike would be handled properly in your hands Brian - my bad! It is a Blast though, just covering the Stepchild of a Stepchild's ass sort of thing - lol - Got Thump?! Just Blasting on the Dark side! EZ  | ||

The Blast was a great beginner's bike for my son. Before he took the course we would ride it together in the Colorado mountains to a school parking lot to practice. Should have seen me (6'5) and son (6'0) on the Blast going down Colorado highways. Had such a good experience with the Blast, it is what led to me buying a Cyclone. | ||

HARDLUCKXB, My son is 16. He took the motorcycle safety course on a Ninja 250 last spring. He's ridden a friend's Blast around her neighborhood a couple of times & did very well. This bike will be used to train at least two others (his younger sister & at least one of my friends) as well as my son. A couple of people at work have expressed interest in learning to ride. It may be a regular training work horse! Hey Ez, Thanks for looking out for us. I appreciate it. And Brian is, of course, taking good care of us. | ||

My Blast has now taught three people to ride...they are the PERFECT first bike - straight out of the box. Playing around with them just makes them even more fun. The little thumper may not get ridden as much now that there's a XB9R parked in the garage, but every now and then I still take it out instead. Bryan |
