So I'm bored today and I was sorting out my picture library and found these.









I sold the YZ 450 to buy the 550, it was my only brand new bike, it had white bros pipe, vortex ignition, a CP hi comp piston, a Doug Henry replica plastic kit, I replaced the rod at 120 hours, I did all the work myself it was much fun.

Then I rode a berg.... the rest is history. I really miss the 550 :( I only had enough time with her to re jet the carb and check the valves once.

I miss all my old scooters, wish I could keep them all.

Anybody else got any pics of old bikse they wish they still had ?

Those pics make me think of my old 550, great bikes! Havent taken the time to learn how to post pics yet though. I still see my old girl getting around as i sold it to my brother inlaw who passed it on to his neighbour. Every time i see it i wish i still had it! That being said, i wouldn't swap it back for my 570!
 
True that akshun, besides Ive dropped too much cash on mine now. I remember my first blat on the 570. Good times.

I made an account with photobucket, I just upload the pix to it and it automatically makes a link specifically for forum boards, then its simple as copy and paste.
 
I only have a few digital pics of a couple of my lost 2 wheel friends. :-( Will post more bikes if I can track down there pictures.

ahhh I see you too are a fan of horsepower ! That YZ 490 looks like a wild machine ! I had a 2001 Cr 500, but I went the other way, I had a 15 oz Steahly flywheel weight, FMF gnarly pipe and Carbontech torque reeds, just fat creamy torque bottom to mid, just like my 570/610

 
The 490 was cool and nostalgic dinosaur. It got plenty of attention while out riding.

Very nice 01 CR5!

Steahly is based in the town I live in. I will be riding with him in the next couple of weeks.
