Lets See Your Other Toys!

[Poseidon]

Just thought I would post some pics of my first Can Am. It was a 2013 Can Am XMR 1000 with a 4" lift, turner axles, 32" Silver Back tires with 2.5" lugs, QSC primary and STM secondary clutches running an OEM Maverick belt, Muzzy true dual exhaust and an VFJ fuel controller. 18" + of ground clearance! It was a beast! I did the build on it myself. I just sold it last fall. Hadn't had time to ride it for quite a while so I let it go. Still miss it tho!

A fellow Buick fan! I had a 75 LeSabre as my first car. When I was in the Navy, I picked up a 68 Skylark. Loved that car!

Thanks!

Yeah, I chatted with Ostacruiser and a couple of guys he rides with on the forums when I was planning my XMR build. It would be a blast to ride up in their area sometime!

I can't leave out my wife! After all, she is the reason I'm on this site and why we have a Spyder. This is her on her 2013 Grizzly. She is an Alabama girl and grew up riding dirt bikes and ATV's. Best of all, buying ATV's was her idea! :thumbup:

That boat is AWESOME!!! How fast was it?

The morning run at Lake Castaic was around 11.17ET and a tick over 110. Not really that fast. Much Much faster when the previous owner had it. He actually raced it. That night was my 21st B-day bash. Greg Shoemaker built and set up 5 if i remember correctly. This was #3 with #1 and #4 at the bottom of some lake and i think firebird raceway. Wish i kept timeslips and more photos. See below.

My Sanger Flat bottom was a 115mph boat but that was river duty and brown shorts were mandatory to run it. I had a friend run it cause it was way to light and i didn't have enough huevos. A mild 468 BBC was all she needed.

All of our family pictures, outings etc. up until i was about 30yo would fill a quarter of a shoebox. So many memories lost with no pictures or videos and my aging brain. I vowed when technology was good enough that i would take pictures and videos of everything. I started about 12 years ago and have 10TB of both. When i pass nobody will every say they can't remember this or that with me involved. My friends and family got upset at first until i made a yearly montage video and the rest is history. I can only say that NOBODY knows if they or a loved one will be here tomorrow or 100 years from now so i believe vids and pics are our best way to remember them. Now that my Spyder is back in action i have a new vid and audio set up that i hope will be fun to watch. Ryding Sunday and will be testing the set up so stay tuned.

Jeep are fun too! I had a Wrangler for a while. I'll have to look for some pics of it. I agree with you on the pics and vids. I like doing videos, but editing is sooo time consuming! You will definitely have to post up your video of sunday's ride. My wife and I are headed out for a ride tomorrow. It will be her first ride on the new spyder... legally anyway. :D She just completed the 3 wheel MSF course yesterday and got her M3 endorsement on her license at DMV today. I have a feeling we will be riding on Sunday too if she has any say in it! Twist my arm... Hahaha!

Well, I will not even try to get into past toys, I will just post the 3 that I have now. The spyder actually gets more miles each year then the others combined. The mustang is my wife's and my vacation vehicle now that the kids are grown. And the truck is, just because every man needs a truck.152726152724152725

I've always wanted a Vmax! Those are some good prices on 9s! I'm surprised you didn't pic one up.

It's called a speeder, or a railroad motorcar. They were used by the railroads to move men and equipment to inspect and repair the tracks all over North America. They replaced the handcar.....

152819

and because they are gas powered were considerably faster, thus called speeders. They ran the rails from the early 1900 till about mid 1980's when they were replaced by pick-ups called Hi-rails that you see now.

[Poseidon]

Do you have to have your own railroad to drive it on?

[bcer960]

Do you have to have your own railroad to drive it on?

No, but there are about 500 runs a year all around The states and canada. Like a spyder rally, we get together as a group and rent the tracks. Definitely see places and scenery most don't.

Its actually the first Chevrolet I have owned in nearly 30 yrs. Long line of performance Fords in the mean time. But when I parted with my Ford GT, there really was nothing of interest in the Ford coral. Looked at a number of options. Tesla, Audi and Porsche. Vette was my wife's idea. One test drive won me over. Really like the car. I am watching developement of the 2020 mid engine vette closely and would be in the market about that time.....could happen if I keep working.
