Thanks for the comments! The bike is a 1989 Sportster that I bought brand new in 1989. It started out as an 883 but I punched it out to 1203cc with Thunderstorm heads, Buell pistons, Screaming Eagle cams, coil and performance ignition. I put a high flow air cleaner kit and a Dyna-jet kit on the carb too. I just recently did the street tracker make over. Pretty much replaced, painted, or powdercoated everything. I like the look alot! :)

Its a kick in the ass to ride too, it went from 43 hp to 82 hp and 71 lbs of torque after the mods. Twisting the throttle on this Sporty is a blast!

Later, Tim in Hawaii (chieftd)

No pics but I have a 2002 Camry XLE and a 1993 Chevy S-10 with 30,000 miles on it. My kids say I'm growing an antique.

Ford escape hybrid and jamis mountain bike, will try to get pics this weekend if it ever stops raining!!

Mailman, nice cub! I've got the 48" and it's a joy to ride. Sucks to have to ride it myself though; I need a kid just to keep the grass cut!

S2000 Driver · 21 July 2007, 02:48 PM

Drive it only about 5 - 6 times-a-year -- when the weather is perfect and I have the time!

Thanks man.

I enjoy it. As a matter of fact I just used it tonight. It's peace and quiet for 45 min every week.

Mine's an '05. First year for the deck wash and reverse cut on it, which are very cool to have.

Does yours?

'05 as well. I work at Lowes, so I got a little discount. Yup, got the deck wash and revcut. Kinda hate that little button though, but it's all good!

I sure as hell wish it only took 45 minutes on my yard. More like 1.5 hours.

A bitch on the allergies down here in da dirty south.

I wanted the 48 because of the extra blade, but it wouldn't fit in my shed. The doors aren't wide enough.

That just means I have to make a few more passes when I mow.

My BIL just bought a Z Force 50. He mows three acres in about 50 min

Cant post a picture but have a retired Ford Crown Victoria police Interceptor and a Ford Explorer.

I drive the Interceptor and the wife the Explorer.

Had it repainted and got new wheels a few other upgrades, to make it look like a more sporty car.

Wouldn't give it up till it drops. Drives better than much more expensive cars I've had.

That my friend is a R34 complete with a RB26 TT motor. Rated at 280ps in Japan I can assure you that after driving one it feels more like 350hp at the wheels!!!! The AWD system doesnt hinder any fun either, its sophisticated enough to let the tail hang out enough so that you can have some fun, but will save things when the slide gets too hairy!

I wish we got them here in Canada, all we got was the G35 coupe (AKA V35 350GT Skyline) there was no GTR avail for that generation. However the next generation GTR will be avail and I cant wait to see and try it out. However, the price estimate of 80K+ Cdn is scary for that car!

Hi Roger,

Tough to tell from the photo, but are you demonstrating a certain French technique?

You can legally import and register the R32 in Canada now (which some say is the most fun of the 32, 33, 34 lineup). It would be pretty nice to build a ~600hp one of those.

Nice R34. Wish they had been more readily available in the states.

I'm also fond of Nissans. I had this one for 6 years - what a blast!

also a video of me driving it at Irwindale Speedway a couple years ago:

Love the skyline, we can't get them here. That thing could give my 911 a whooping.
