Gone-Going


So when I was about 5 or 7 years old, my uncle had this mean motorcycle that was wicked mean. He was so excited to show everyone how it could go from 0-60 in roughly thirty seconds. He went up and down my aunty's street. Then, he asked if anyone wanted to hop on for a ride. So my cousin, Sheena hopped on with him and the rode around the street. I wanted to hop on too, however my dad didn't approve of motorcycles and risking his most prized posession, me. Unfortunately, I never got to go on. That's the memory that was brought up when Mr.K asked if anybody had ever been on a motorcycle. I know sad and pathetic. However, I did manage to get a picture on some make-shift motorcycle in the Fairfield Museum in Chicago this summer! I highly doubt that this could have gotten the type of acceleration that my uncle's bike got. Although, it's still awsesome. Another thing I noticed is that the motorcycle needs an upward force to hold it up in the posistion of a pop-a-wheely. The upward force is the little log/platform that the wheel is placed on.
The second bike is from the Dallas Airport. That picture was from my other trip druing the summer. I noticed it while walking around the airport, pretty mean right? If I remeber correctly the bike was from West Coast Choppers. This baby could light up I am sure. Probably getting some real nice acceleration and speed. I would guesstimate that West Coast Choppers probably suped it up to like 0-60 in 30 seconds. That would be my guess, just be cause it sounds tight. I wish we could supe up a motorcycle in class. I say rush'em!!!!

Everyone deserves a ride on a motorcycle (but keep it safe)-Gotta live life up! :)
