Street Missiles and More

This is a necessary project. I need to be able to work on bikes all year. This property recently came up for sale, and a plan was formulated. Instead of upgrading my shed, an offer was made. I will explain in detail as we go along. I plan to share as much about the planning and building process as I can. I have to hire a surveyor to give us exact dimensions and make 2 lots into 1. After that, we start talking to contractors and working through the permitting process. It's a leap for the channel, but we all have to deal with normal life, right?

This started back in November and has gotten worse. The video will freeze after several minutes, but it continues to record audio. This time, the video after dark was recording fine, then went to garbage for some time, then froze. If you have an answer, please let me know. I plan to try new memory cards and look for a replacement.

Finally got some nice weather so I had to get out and enjoy it. Wheel spin wheelie felt really good. Unfortunately, my GoPro decided to take a shit on me, AGAIN! Next time, we'll hit the twisties first. Maybe I can actually get decent footage out of this paperweight on my face. Nice footage of an SUV in a ditch!

Sorry to hear about the accident. I hope I got what few details I shared right. I haven't made a video in days. It's been too chilly for me to ride. The R1 takes priority this winter, so this bike will go into hibernation until spring.

I did land 1 jump on the front wheel, and the result was a very low score. Stick your landings! Shredding some back roads on the Purple People Eater in shorts and a T shirt? Yes, very much so. YouTube doesn't like the things I do in this video, so it's worth watching!

I bought this bike because I rode 1 in Italy in 1996, and I wanted 1 then. It had a new top end, and was built to race. I upgraded tires, wheel bearings and seals, chain and sprockets, and brakes. Street missile is only way to describe this bike. 100+ wheelies, 150 pulls, and JUMPS!

Tell me that guy is not legit a Leprechaun. My neighbor bought a gaming PC in a crate. They sent the wrong power cord. Best Buy didn't have one, like at all. I texted my dad, jumped aboard the Hooligan, and had 1 gaming PC up and running in under 30 minutes.

They call this style sport touring. This 2005 Z750S packs a mildly detuned leftover 750 Ninja engine. Wide, considerably flat handlebars caused me to treat this like a fat dirt bike. Fond memories of what the Hooligan was, and why I am modifying the FZ1 the way I am. To bore you with numbers, this model allegedly made 110hp factory with a wet weight around 470lbs. Stripped down with the Leo Vince slip-on it's down to 445.

The bike isn't reacting as it should. I need to thoroughly clean and adjust the carburetors. I'll jet them as well while I have them apart. Wheel bearings, braided brake lines, an R1 master cylinder, chain, sprockets, grips, bars, and levers are all in the works. We'll deal with her looks later. Pretty ain't fast!

Judge for yourself. No music except the raucous song of a built Honda inline 4. Enjoy!

Let's be honest, YouTube won't let creators do certain things. I am Stripprclip, whether it be here, YouTube, Insta or X. Check your low speed balance, especially if you are a new rider! Your ability to balance with brake and friction zone are skills you should always practice.

The bracket is pretty tweaked. I tried to put enough heat in it to bend, but a propane torch isn't enough. I need to take it to my friend's shop to fix it. I console myself with a ride through town on the Purple People Eater.

I am going to run motocross bars. Do I dare rock the grips and levers, or would that just be tacky? Regardless, the brat got some minor adjustments, and I can't wait to see how much it helps.

Got the rear shock adjustment done. Time to shake her down. Easy wheelies are the goal. Done and done. Lots of work yet to do.

Temps in the low 40s on Halloween. I was not prepared to run the brat down the road for more than a couple minutes. I hate the cold. I was taking it a little easy on cold tires, but she does what she wants. Bogging when I snatch it in low rpm I am assuming is dirty primaries. I made a slight adjustment on the pilot screws after I put the R1 can on it. Still running rich at idle, but no major issues. No vibration or wobble in the front end, brakes are good, and the lights work. This 1 is going to be a lot of hunting the right parts for the build I want.

I don't preach safety or gear, but....Your tires are the only part of your motorcycle that is supposed to touch the road. Tire pressure is important! Check it! Your life depends on it.

I traded the hooligan 750 for a 2002 Yamaha FZ1 that has had an abusive relationship in her past. Rumor has it, she put him in a wheelchair. We're going to find out just what the Brat is capable of.
