I thought the guy whacking the gator with a fishing pole was pretty funny, but then when he got into the hornets, oh damn that is some classic shit right there!

Dig that 4, 5gal lift..... Now that was high tech...

We won't be posting any pictures of the tree engine hoist nor some of the blocking used during transmission changes.

I do dig the white and gold on that chop, never pulled that one off myself, but have always been impressed by those who did.

1982, me (19) and a buddy on my FJ 1100, the thing was a monster.

Yamaha was a really underrated bike in the 70's. That 650xs in my first picture held it's own around town and took me from Chicago to Phoenix and back one summer. It was my first Frankenchopper.

Back in the 60's I had a Yamy 250cc Big Bear Scrambler....
Dang thing was a rocket to me....

(No freakin wonder they choose it for the Batcycle)



Built from a Yamaha Catalina 250, the Batcycle features a side car with a portable go-cart resting on it for Batman's invisible aide, Robin. As Batman slows down or stops the Batcycle, Robin is propelled off of the side car and becomes mobile in his own right in the go-cart. The entire Batcycle and side car are handsomely customized in black and white colors with a batshield molded into the fairing and fender guard. Not only is the Batcycle a hugely modified Yamaha Catalina 250, but Robin's cart, which is an integral part of the Batcycle rig, is powered by a 55cc, electric start, Yamaha three speed engine.

^^^^^^ LOL come on Jesse you can do better than that...^^^^^^^^^ I know you have some pics of your stuff from back then??? I just dug out some of my old pics... When I get them on my computer I'll post them...........

Ok.... Alright ....



Helped a Bud open a shop in my home town... That's me on the right...

We was going to call it "Climax Cycles" for something hot between your legs ..!!!
(But Gary's Ol Lady wasn't digging that name..)

Ended up calling it "Express Cycles"

At that point in the timeline I had my Pan and a few Sporties....



My Sister and her new Ride ... Think that Sportie was a 72 XLH
