I have enough bike to keep my Wife pissed off...

My Mojo is from ~'93 I think. First one in Ivy Green which ended up being the color chosen for the Hakalugi cross bike. They were going to water based primer at the same time and had to repaint my bike, but the paint you see now is the factory re-spray.

Next is an '87 Haro Team Sport

Then the chrome one is an '86 Master I call the Ruster. That's my rider, when I get around to it.

Finally, a NOS '86 Master in white, which was what I rode back in 86-87 time frame.

Long live Neon!

Wow...the master is EXACTLY what I had/rode. The master in chrome was rare....even MORE rare w/Group one cranks, dominator seat, even the forks with the flip downs. Mine also had the Gyro rotor, peregrine 48's with bare feet tires. I bought it all with my paper route. It was the best thing I've ever purchase/owned...ever. Great memories. It was stolen. Almost 2 years to the date I bought it. Worst day ever as a kid.

Nice. I haven't ridden in years. I miss my mid-90s steel Bontrager Privateer. I think it's still in my Mom's garage.

My wife and son are the bikers of the family.
I am allergic to the two-wheeled things, although steel things with 8 to 12 piston are a different story...

Well, mine are four (Land-Rover turbo diesel) and six (BMW S52B32) so on top of the bikes, I guess her rage is justified.

I have on order a 1990 Land Rover Defender 200tdi 110 fully restored and US Spec by Arkonik, so branching to 4 - at least on delivery. There are wicked engine things you can do to the Defender 110...
