WHAT I USED TO RIDE WAS


this. 91 FXRS-SP. I called this bike "Toecutter".
88 cu, Screaming Head, E-Carb, EV-52 (13mm lift High-cam)




invisible licence plate and hi-mounted Thunderheader.
















This was the time when I broke swing arm.
Joytoy and I were waiting for Masa of FOUR coming pick the bike up.



This picture was on the way home from Mt. Fuji where me and Fuki-san and Cisco went.
Cisco told me "hey, many teeth flew away from your drive belt!"
2 weeks later, Fuki-san sent me a chain and sprokett.
I loved this bike a lot. lots of memories. good or bad.
A young guy saying to me the other day,
"I have never seen you riding on FXR. But I hear lots of legendary stories from many people!"

Broken swingarm ? ? How, and where on swingarm was the break? Seems like you ride hard, fast. My goal every ride is to achieve 100 MPH/161 KPH. Most times, I succeed.

after the signal turn blue,
I gave full-throttle, start wheel spinning, and suddenly, no tension on the chain. at first I broke tranny, but I broke the end of swing arm. It was very hot day.
I guess ground temp is over 40 degrees centigrade.

Wow - I never heard of such a thing happening (on the street, anyhow). "Harder, faster - more More MORE!!" Thanks for responding, sir.
