Title: G.I. Joe Monster 796
Post by: Stormtrooper on April 09, 2013, 11:17:32 AM
Believe it or not there's a Monster 796 hiding under there.  I've been thinking of adding some MP7s to mine  [thumbsup]

Most of it is pretty "whatevs" in my book, but I do like that clipon design. I may have to look into doing something along those lines to get the angle I'm looking for.

I don't think that's a Monster 796, it's a Hyper 796... look at the exhaust underneath the rearset area

That was a hour and a half of my life I want back.  Most importantly I want back that part of my brain that stored that silly info.  I have a brain like a steel trap, problem is it only traps crap.  [bang]

Megaforce.. the original adv riders.  haha, if you painted those bikes in orange and black and slapped on some ktm decals... they'd probably sell.

I have to give the wheelie missiles a big  [thumbsup] that was cool. 

The GI Joe bike would definitely need it steering damper with those controls and fat front wheel!
