Author Topic: Drug out the Polonda (Read 7569 times)

Well guys the new sight has inspired me to dig my R out for the first time in nearly two years. Life's been crazy with purchasing a new house, moving, etc. My two boys started racing MX this year also which has really consumed my riding time, not to mention they play baseball too. But thanks to this site I decided enough was enough and dragged her out. She's dirty and neglected so I'll be giving her the once over. Started by pulling the carb late last night for a good cleaning and hope to fire her up today.

You should ride that over to all of your new neighbors houses and introduce yourself :highly_amused:

I'm breaking them in slowly. Started with a mini chopper, then my boys MX bikes, and started my Gsxr1000 drag bike a couple times. Not sure they really know what they're in for. So far they all seem ok....but I know what they are really thinking.

Yes it is. Now it's time to put a little effort into her.

That is one of the reasons I like the neighborhood I am in. Seems that every 4-5 houses there is someone that rides something.

I have got to say that is beautiful neighborhood you live in.

I like it. Really let them know that you mean business.

yes and looks to me like you have plenty of room in the side yard for an up hill drag strip!

How in the world do you keep that front end down with those paddles and that swingarm? I think black rims would look great on there too. Post some more pics of that beast.

I've never had it on a Dyno but of I had to guess based off othe bikes I've raced it's around the 80hp mark. Really came alive when I switched from the stock ignition to a MSD.

I've been tempted! Shut down would be in the woods though.
