    Agreed - I did enjoy that though it was a few years ago now. I particularly enjoyed stuff like Escape from New York and The Fog. Also Swamp Thing...

    Creepshow was what we took gurls to to try and scare them, but squealed ourselves in very unmanly fashion. Heck facial hair was not more than a wisp back then.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    " some spare parts to make her even more good looking "

    I shudder to imagine what that looks like.

    I think I might have said, but I have a soft spot for those. A mate had one for a courier bike in the early 90s and I borrowed it when my CBX550 ran the crank.
    It was a std, it handled acceptably, it went ok for a 400 when you punished it. So it got punished all the time. I think it secretly liked it.

    It saved me from the bus, and my 550 felt pretty fit after.

    But about 3 times what it's worth? Nah, just another unattractive uninspiring *onda.

    I've got a fairly tidy one in the garage.

    I'll let it go for $1500

    Check out the rear guard on this chop. It has been listed for a long time, I think he has come down on price but that rear guard is seriously on the wrong machine. It looks like a T bucket guard. It looks nicely detailed tho…

    There's a saying: No one ever went broke underestimating people's Taste. Nowhere so true as in A'merca. Septics embrace ugly-tacky as "I've made it"

    Yes buddy. You sure have..

    I'm toying with the idea of buying a supermoto, for what I want it looks like the DRZ400SM will suit my needs so I have them on my watchlist, a cheap one is around $6500 to the nicest example starting at $10500. Then there is this 'E' model...

    The cams and BB kit will have cost a packet. He's just trying to recover all of it.

    But use caution. Its the WIDOWMAKER!!! Probably touching 40hp now, so you can see why it's called that.

    And Beware! It has the Number of the Beast marked on it. Scary stuff indeed.

    There's others with the big bore kit priced at the lower end of the market, one at $6500, SM's with the right forks and swingarm. Maybe the devil made him do it. Good luck to him.

    I've got a KX500, they used to call them the 'Widowmaker' .

    Never killed me but I have broken a few bones. They get along Ok. Never the bikes fault always my lack of judgement. Only takes a split second on any dirt bike I guess.
