What's your view look like today?

Probably more excited than I should be.. But I'm Uber stoked about this pump. Man is it light! Now my driveline is maxed out, no more mods left to do on my ski!

Long way from home. Up at a hilltop cemetery overlooking Montpellier Vermont.

Is there a low altitude parachute which would deploy with an explosive like a back country snow skiers avalanche air bag?

 

[Sparkplug]

Yeah. A brs. Ballistic recovery chute. I have 2. Dont use them. They weigh alot. And altho they don't add to part 103 weight allotment. They are basically useless on a quicksilver. You can't fly a quicksilver hard enough to break it. It has too much induced drag to break itself. And it stalls at 18 mph and can land in 20 ft. So while most see a lawn chair that is going to fall out of the sky. Those with actual experience. Know it's quite safe.

Much safer than freestyle jet ski riding. Ocean jet ski riding. Or street motorcycle riding. By far. Over 10000 quicksilver kits were sold with 0 structural failures that weren't attributed to operator error. Each wing can hold 2500 pounds. The only plane that sold more in kit form, was vans


Fun fact. The fastest my plane can go. Is 72 mph. Pointed 5 degrees past straight down as the dihedral and incidence allows.

A fat cat! I grew up moving cows with a fleet of Yamaha Big Wheels.

Kart races at my airport. They said at the end I can drive my ultralight around the track for a video

Uh, ok then..

F that!
Do they come with a brand new Bronco? How short of a wheelbase would you need to not scrape the bumper or chassis on those transitions!!!!

Iv'e seen this picture before. Curious - where was this taken? SMH.

Don’t know the original source but here’s a couple more angles I found posted in random places.

Are These Steep Driveway Photos Real?

The pictures were often referred to as being "older than the internet."

Not as bad as that guy, but here is my neighbors driveway that doesn't seem too fun to drive up (with my new whip in the street to show off too of course):

Seen the NSR gone today... let it rip one last time. One of the very few truly perfect days Washington has to offer throughout the year. Sad to see it go.

 

[SUPERJET-113]

Oh man Sturat, such a beautiful bike and piece of 2 stroke screamer history! Sorry you have to part with it, sincerely.
Is that a 250 or 500?

 

[Quinc]

Time to upgrade to the cbr 250! =)

its a 250. It's my second one. Needed money, bout the only thing I had to my name I can part with. I'll have something else going next year. Super fun bike, on par with a carbed 600 4-stroke of the same era but only weighing about 260lbs, roughly the same as CR/KX250. I'll miss it for sure. Not bad for an 87 huh


Spent a few hours steaming all the nooks and crannies, polishing up what I could. Wax and ceramic coat. It turned heads everywhere... funny too because the young guys know it's old but don't understand much else. The older riders know it's a two stroke but can't quite put their finger on what it is. When I'm in a better position with money I will actually be importing these on a regular basis.
