me and a friend were drunk and wanted to spin fire poi but we didnt have any contain to put fuel in to soak the wicks so i told my friend to just cup his hands and that it would be fine so i dumped the white gas all over his hands while holding the wicks. i spun off the excess fuel and handed him the lighter since i couldnt light them myself while holding the poi.

i dont think i need to continute the story any further but just in case i do he ended up catching on fire and got second degree burns on his hands and arms. i felt terrible lol.

I had an SR500 for a time- it had virtually the same motor as the TT500 and XT500. It was really hard to kickstart.

I learned a trick. You are supposed to slowly rotate the crank and line the mark up in the sight glass or it would break a leg.

I wouldn't line it up. I would just pull in the compression release and kick start it and let go about 3/4 of the way through the kick.

Yeah I knew about the mark, but it was still very hard to kick over. No compression release on the SR. My '75 DT400 had an automatic compression release that worked great

That carpet came out of an old beauty shop- I thought it looked kinda psychedelic :mrgreen:
Right out of high school myself and 2 friends rented an old circa 1900 beater house( discount rent to fix it up). One friends dad owned a nice restaurant and was remodeling it. We got the old red/purple carpet. By the time we were done the living and dining rooms looked like a French
brothel with gold trim and chandeliers

I wish I would've kept the tt500. It was a good bike. Dangerous but good.
Used to have a 72? it 400 bored 80 over huge back sprocket. It was for setuo desert racing.
That thing about tore ny leg off and broke my foot. It was a push start situation all the way.

The seam rattled out of the tank and it caught fire.

I have had more modern bikes but that thing was a legit death machine

I cant say I share that theory other than more exercise is always good

Nothing, and I mean nothing, not cannabis, not pills, nothing has ever centered my soul and recharged my batteries like a good long ride all by myself...even given the horrible past event my family is working through.
Same here, pounding shit into the pavement over the miles really helps and if nothing else you sleep better.

We were throwing empty aerosol cans in a 55 gallon drum with a fire built in it just to hear them explode.

This was back when the good stuff was used to pressurize cans. My friend threw a full can of wd40 at the barrel and it fell out on the ground next to it. I have no idea why but he grabbed a little hatchet and went to hit the can. I went to grab him before it happened. I made it up to him about the time he makes contact. I turned away and dropped to the ground.

Poor guy. It burnt his eyebrows and most his hair off.

Fun with fire! Lol.


When I was around 12, I watched a kid jamb a small screwdriver into a camping propane bottle so it was spewing, put it into a55 gal drum ands proceeded to throw lit matches at it from about 5 ft away. I was over the crest of the hill waiting for him to go boom, but it just lit and made a huge flame. Was actually pretty cool, but I wouldn't do it.


We we're having a bonfire on the beach. I found a full can of spray paint in my car, ran up, threw it in the fire and just yelled RUN! Everyone but one person ran and we just saw him get engulfed in flames, then a 20ft halo of ambers around the fire. Not a scratch or burn on him, just some singed hairs. People from a mile down the beach, RAN up the beach to make sure everyone was ok, by the time they got there we were drinking and partying again.
