No kidding. I've never seen one with blue wheels...black but not blue. Where they off of the blue and white 92?

No, I took them off and had them powdercoated to match the shade of blue in the stripes.

I always wanted the seat cowl. You polish the frame yourself? Mine was done when I bought it.

The only two times I went to any bike night I had a problem with my Honda wanting to fall over.

First time I wanted to move it out a bit, parked between Moira's 998 and Kathy's Daytona. I didn't have much experience moving that bike standing next to it. I was on the left between mine and Moira's bike when it acted like it wanted to go over and I could feel myself putting pressure on the 998 I got it back up, and then nearly had an anxiety attack about it. I still cringe when I think about almost tipping over mine and Moira's bike.

Second time at bike night, I pulled in and Moira greets me, so I look up at her and don't notice the patch of grass my front wheel just entered, and down I went. I hurt my knee, but the bike was fine, thank god.

I don't go to bike night anymore.

I was on my 1993 F2 the night the Red Wings won a cup I was so happy I did a burn out in the Grass as we were leaving I started to let off the front brake and roll it out and some one walked out in front of me. I grabed the front brake and down I went on the wet grass. I was on the ground for about a second blinker was pushed through the bodywork.

On the way home I could hear my friends laughing on the freeway. We stoped for gas and one said somethng funny about the DIRTDOG on the F2. And from that day forth I was known as DIRTDOG its been well over 10 years and still they call me DIRTDOG.

One of my Friends thats a Suzuki rep now still giggles as he says it. I'm pretty sure he was the funny guy at the gas station.

I screwed up a victory wheelie on the cool down lap in front of a decent number of people. I just shrugged at them and they cheered.
