[scott600rr]

[fiftyproof]

yes metro ctuise is on for sure! ifpeople want they can park vehicles at my house right near 28th and 131 we will be up and down 28th all day sat. last year we had people who didn`t have stickers and they didn`t bother them. :thumbs :thumbs

[bikefrk]

Don't count on not getting hassled. I have been hearing more police than last year, if that is even possible.


If I even make it down, I will be riding a lawn chair. :(

[bikefrk]

My bike is not legal right now.

Taillight and headlights are all broken. My plan was to fix it all before the Cruise, but I can't now.

And I am not spending any money on the little bastard now either. I want a new big bike. :twisted:

damn bikefrk why r u such a negative nancy all the sudden? :don't

damn bikefrk why r u such a negative nancy all the sudden? :don't
no work and all play makes bikefrk a negative nancy jk :stock

I'm negative on the little bike becuase it is a drain on me now. Many years of abuse are catching up to it.

Plus I would rather ride my big bike places than the little bike now.


When all I had was the 50, I was fully into it. Most of us that have done the 50s for years are a little tired of it. I been chasing these things since early 2004.

Probably just burned out on it. :don't

Plus being hurt isn't helping things.

[fiftyproof]

u should at least stay neutral. u got alot of people into this craze!

[bikefrk]

No work and NO play is what I think you mean.


I live to far away from all you guys to have people just swing by and pick me up to do things. Just sit here all F'in day, watching the hummingbirds and the Olympics.


That doesn't get old ever. :roll:

[fiftyproof]

i bet a really good street ride would help u out . i say we do the same one we did when the law didn`t find us!

[bikefrk]

You are right, I had a lot of enthusiasm for it. Now the big bieks consume me and I don't have time to work on the little bike.



BTW, the websites are coming up for renewal and I am going to let them go. If anyone is interested in the domains, you can buy them soon. :?

http://www.westside50riders.net/

http://www.westside50riders.org

http://www.westside50riders.com <<<<<< this is the money one that you really want to have. Again, lots of ideas for it. No time. The WestSide Riders are OG in the 50 riding scene. A lot of people nationwide identify with the group. Where can you take it? Maybe it is time for the new blood to step up and push this again.


I would like to sit back and enjoy it some again.

[fiftyproof]

i never even knew there were sites. i clicked on all of them and got nowhere

[bikefrk]

You do realize that I'm hurt and can't ride, correct? I will be off any bike for a couple of months now. :?

[bikefrk]

i never even knew there were sites. i clicked on all of them and got nowhere

Yup, cause I don't know how to build a quality website. I basically bought the sites so no one else would snap them up.



Another reason I am sour on the whole thing is it was costing money. I spent over $500 last year on banners, website registering and travel to events that I barely got paid for, after promise of pay.


It will turn anyone off to it, really.

[fiftyproof]

i heard something about a toe but nothing else u must of really fcked that toe huh?

[fiftyproof]

hell i never got paid for riding i just like to ride.

[forkseal]

im also getting tired of my 50.big bikes r much funner.but i get into trouble alot easier on my 1000.50's started out as kind of a joke and they were funny and thats why they were fun .theres ppl who take it like they r as serious and extreme as big bike stunters.

[fiftyproof]

i`m just out to have fun! can`t afford a big bike or i would have both.

[fiftyproof]

shit might as well take ws50 off wmr there are no riders left! bikefrk was the poster boy for us without him there is no ws50. RIP....

Thats bullcrap. I view the guys that ride every Friday night at Team Alpine as the next generation of the group.


Plus, you never know when I will show up and split some wigs with my stunna skill set. :twisted: :laugh



And I viewed our shows at the local dealers as a way to get paid. We were out there busting our balls, while they were using the WestSide 50 Riders name in the radio ads for their open houses.

We were a draw and there is no reason we shouldn't get paid for it. Hell, we break levers and burn off tires doing the shows, why shouldn't we get compensated?


Do you have any idea how much stickers that everyone wants for free cost me?

Thanks to Kyle at Team Alpine for the last couple hundred I had to hand out. As much as you guys want to believe, I am not a big baller. I struggle to make my bills month to month just like the rest of you.

[bikefrk]

It is seriously fucked and I am lucky to still have it attached to my body right now. Keeping it elevated,iced and avoiding anything that could cause infection. :?

[forkseal]

i bought this second 50 because i though i missed my old one.but i guess what i really missed was the old great times we had like in 2003 at georges warehouse that was fun.guess that i need to except the fact that times ppl and circumstances change.wish i had a time machine.i wouldnt trade those memories for anything.haha i have a video of it still and bikefrks bike is completely stock

[fiftyproof]

so what did u do t it i didn`t see any forum on it or pics? i was refering to john`s toe.

[forkseal]

its in the westside board not the same one i have but same timeframe maybe even day

[fiftyproof]

i will still ride just don`t hear of any lot rides and when u go to bikenight there is not many people stuntin.




wanted : more stunt people, the more the better.


no offense intended in this topic but it is frustrating like bikefrk said it would be nice to get compensated for our time and trouble.

[bikefrk]

I have so many videos of those rides.

George's warehouse was so damn cool. I can't even think that we could duplicate those times again.

Drinking,riding,girlies........ :twisted: :twisted: Enough about that though.


Damn, that was great.

Riding in Detroit.

Riding in Dallas/Ft. Worth. <<<< One of the best trips I have ever taken.


Just hanging out at that warehouse, pushing each other to learn what we were seeing in videos from around the country. I am not getting rid of my fifty, I just need to rebuild it over the winter and start riding again.

[fiftyproof]

thats the spirit! now what happened to yo toe?

[bikefrk]

It sure would.


Hell, I just want to ride. :?

[bikefrk]

thats the spirit! now what happened to yo toe?


Dropped a log on it. Smashed the bone under my toenail into many peices. The bone is not fixable. When it shattered it blew the end of my toe out.

So, I have a laceration on the end of my toe, the doc sliced me open during surgery and cleaned it all out. He took out some bone fragments and sewed me up. It is going to heal however it heals. No pins,rods or plates used. :?

No toenail either.

This is before surgery.

This is after surgery.
