Pics of Sparky's Motorcycle Trip - last Sunday.

[Sparky Kronkite]

These are some of the twisties on the Deleware water gap - if you happen to crash and make it over the 3ft stone wall - the drop is about 150' - thru trees and crap - to the rapids.

This is a group grope/photo-op - at what is called "Hawks Nest" above the river.

And another photo-op at the BBQ later in the day - note Sparky on the phone to Shebabe - letting her know I'm still alive.

Had a great time - very, very sore yesterday and still today.

Looks like a beautiful and adventurous trip.

wow

Nice to see that you're the one guy whose Kaw is a different color...*g*

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Yeah, I kid them too....

cause the Black ones are faster'n the Green ones.

Very nice pics sparky

A crotch rocket? You surprise me. I had you pictured as one of those nasty, body odor enhanced, hawg riders. You know, the kind of hawg that the maker wishes you'd take their name off of because both of you are so disgustingly perverted?

Does your back hurt? Or was it a short trip?

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Please KM! My bike is not refered to as.....

a crotch rocket - or - what we refer to as Squids, because the basically all look the same because of the aerodynamic body work.

You'll notice that our bikes - the mighty ZRX both 1100's and 1200's pictured here - only have a little tiny (worthless) quarter fairing up top and not other body work - the motor is exposed.

These are refered to as - Naked Sport Bikes.

My motor is a torque tuned (at just about a flat 80 montorous ft/pds across a wide rpm range, 2500 up to 8500) version of what is in the ZX12 (which is more highendy with less toruque until you get up to 8K or above) - it makes about 125hp - which I will shortly increase via Muzzy full system exhaust and an ignition advancer - I should get another 10hp out of her with that.

This torque strong motor - probably the greastest torque beast ever devised thus far - allows rolling, no-clutch, 3rd gear wheelies at over 65mph. It also allows you to tromp just about any 600 Squid bike (they have to shift constantly, to keep themselves in their peak power) while working in one or two gears.

You'll also notice that the riding position "is not" all that bent over - it's more of a Euro Cafe' riding position.

Crotch rocket? I hate Donor Bikes.

And I hate Harley's even more - any biker who rides around with flags wavin' from flag polls on their machine - should just stay at home and wave the flag on the porch.

LOL

You have a sexy crotch rocket, Sparky.

A crotch rocket is a crotch rocket is a crotch rocket is a crotch rocket. If it looks like a crotch rocket but smells like female ass, it probably belongs to Sparky.

I do have to admit that it was very cool of you to stay in touch with the shebabe.

 

[Savage Kitten]

wow Sparkster

I love the pics! What beautiful scenery! I'd luv to ride that road.. I've never been in that part of the country b4. You know.. florida is great... but we don't have views like those here. Your bike looks totally kewl too!

Thanx 4 sharing!

 

[Tabby432]

Great Pics.

But where are the rest? Come on! We can never have too much Sparky.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Thank you young'un.

Oh yeah - but me.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

You see - typos really blow your timing.

That would have been

Bite me.

But I'll take yer ass any day.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

On these rides - pics are not.....

high priority sorry.

Hard riding is the deal.

My sore ass bears that out.

 

[JenJ]

great pics that is awesome scenary

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

That is the Deleware Water Gap....

Three states meet right where we are standing.....

PA, NJ and NY - Deleware is further down river - the Deleware river which is to the left and far down below that rock wall.

I wish the dude taking pics (I did not take any pics) took one over the edge. If he did - you'd see hundreds of folks rafting, canoeing and swimming.

It's a major rafting river.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

 

[RudeNastyAssBitch]

Nice Pics Sparky!

Woulda Loved Ta Bring My Little Red Helmet Along And Ridden On The Back Of One Of Them There Torpedos

But I'm Guessing That There Was A NO Passenger Rule. Ya GO Quicker That Way! lol

It's Been Too Long Since I Rode Last Wish I Could Get Some June Bug Blood In My Eyes

I Am A Terrific Passenger Though! Been Riding Since My Feet Couldn't Reach The Pegs. The Only Transportation Our 3 Person Family Ever Owned Was A Bike! Wellll, I Suppose There WAS The Omni When My Daddy Bust Himself The First Time.

 

[beckbabe]

That looks like it was fun sparky. I know even less about bikes than cars

 

[bluntforcemama]

I hope you didn't take the baby Sparkster with you! I like the land. Everything is so lush!

 

[OUTSIDER]

Nice pic's mate and I can relate to the speed thing, once had a chance to ride a friend's CBR600, it had gas flowed head, stage two dyna jet tune, Devil exhaust, Ohlin's shock's, a non-standard sprocket set, lightend body panel's and so on and so on.

It was fast, not in a top end kinda way but in a point and squirt way, the perfect London bike

 

[lilfrk]

Hey Spark...

Is that the Hawks Nest you rode through? I've been down the road in a car and on a bike. Awesome both times. Next I'm going to be one of the people floating by in a tube.

Nice Pics...Nice Bikes

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Yeah....

the Hawk's Nest.

 

[Purple Haze]

Cool photos. Were those 35mm film or digital?

All those bikes look the same, Spark.

You didn't like....join a club or something?

Are you saying I'll get the same good vibrations on your bike as I would on a Harley?
