Well hell, what made him sell that?

**03 ORANGE SHEE** · 01-21-2008, 07:45 PM

this is his shop where all your bling parts are made. the one pic is his old tri-z that burned in a garage fire, as well as those cylinders.

Hey, is he making those Z clutch baskets some folks put money down on last year?

Well, I'm glad it went to another member. I'm sad that Ronnie had to let it go.... You can see that even as he's selling it he's tinkering with something on the bars there. I hope he has something even bigger and badder for us!!

Enjoy your INSECT!!!!!

EDIT - whats up with the melted heads?? I hope he didn't have a fire in the past......

I can't believe he sold it. I CALL DIBS IF YOU SELL IT!!!!! lol!

**03 ORANGE SHEE** · 01-21-2008, 07:58 PM

this is a 86 6 speed in the crate. it has 5000 miles on it, and has never been started?!?!?! been all over the us, now its here in va. we will nick-name it the "c" motor.named after craig,(mwke) ronnie started to built it over three years ago,craig parted his tri-z, ronnie bought the motor from craig, then me. i am going to place it in the black z i have, and try it out
a few bling kits for the z and 250r, sounds lile this might been the last of them. marvin shaw coil over, oem shock, 250r thumber, a few goodies
the bolts on the shirt are 110 stainless spares for the bolt tires that went with the bike

**03 ORANGE SHEE** · 01-21-2008, 08:05 PM

you would never think to EVER see it sit in the snow...with its TWIN brother!!!
taller haulers and bolt tires, the red thingy is the stand that keeps the rear tires from touching the ground and making flat spots, he made a black one like for the other z in the pic.great for lubing the chain too!!

i have not started or even rode it yet, nor sat on it since buying!!
