Reg71 rides a new bike !

I wouldn't call it the "dark side',........ but i met our favorite superhero at the lake this weekend for some beer drinkin', campin' and to try out one of my Wetbikes.

As you might expect, homeboy:reg: did exceptional :thumbsup:

Some of you might remember them from the "good'ole days" '70's-'80s' and if you've ever gotten the chance to ride one, you know they are a bit of a challenge.

:reg: took off from the dock like pro, and rode very well. I brought the helmet cam and got some footage after only about 30 mins of riding.

I had a great time, thanks for giving it a go Reg !

What the hell is a "wetbike" Tori?

 

That looks like a blast. Much less pain if you wipe out.

 

Here's some promotional pics from 1978 to give you a better look at one.









I have 5 of them, including a brand new one that sits in the dining room on display along with a bunch of vintage Wetbike paraphanalia.

 

oh man, this stirs up some memories! I haven't seen these since I watched the Police Academy series....makes me want one again! Look like loads of fun!

 

I've never even seen one before. Thanks for the pics and description.

I wonder why they weren't more popular?

If I am ever out in Cali; I hope you don't mind if I try one of yours Tori!

Vintage Mini Cooper, Wetbikes, long legged blond girlfriend, & VFR's, what else are you holding out on us?

 

Well,.........i could tell you what i did friday nite,.......but it wasn't legal, so i'll leave it to your imagination......:biggrin:

OH YOU SUCK !

Remember, i did all that for you. LOL

Where's the vid Terri took ?

 

did it involve a bucket of soapy frogs and a wet suit with the bottom cut out?

 

This Wet Bike looks like a great activity for SLO IV!! I know, you don't want a bunch of drunk bastages messing up your toys! I don't blame you Tori.

Hey what ever happened to the footage you shot on 229 after Randy departed?

 

I've got it at home. safe and sound. I'll put someting together with it soon.

 

Just make sure you speed up my footage so I look really fast! :thumb: No one will ever know! aw crap (open forum)...

 

Jaes bond movie the wet bikes are used as well
