UShip and Bikes

Post by John F. »

Thanks for the UShip advice. I used a shipper named Marty who was great and cheap. It couldn't have been a better experience. And, I got the bikes. I got these because I wanted something to play in the dirt with, and always wanted one. I bought them with a friend. Best part is that they both have lighting kits, were registered by the previous owner, and now have street tags in my name. They're not the best street bike though, but I'm enjoying them so far. They need to be sorted out a bit, but run well, sound great, and I just like them. I thought I'd post here because a few of you seem to like bikes, especially bikes from back in the day. They're both fun, but the 360 so far is more fun.

As has been said on the other thread, it's all about putting a smile on your face!...

I, for one, can see how these would do that...

The 360 was the first bike I ever considered buying. Second hand of course.
I was still in school and had found a neighbor selling one. The problem was that thing was way too loud and way too fast for a descent 17 year old like me, let alone that I would have to undergo serious explanatory sessions with my dad...
I dont remember if it was street legal, but this was not a problem for me at the time, as I didnt even have a drivers license...who cares !
I just remembered that it may have been called 363 or 366, not just plain 360, but I may be wrong.
Enjoy and be careful !

Looks like fun! Thump! Thump! Thump! Are the brakes just for show or do they actually function?

I'd take Mike's warning seriously -- as I recall, he has some experience doing things on two wheels that most likely void your life insurance policies.

Me and the 360 are getting along very well. It's been quite awhile, but I've done this stuff before. That said, I have a healthy respect for these things. Thanks for the kind words.

And tomorrow I'm getting on an Indian scout I rented and riding out to Desert Trip with a few friends. Life is good
