There was another guy there on a really tatty looking old Carb Engine 900 Sprint, I didnt take a picture as it was so rough looking. But when he started it up to go, whooa, I then noticed he had reverse mega cones on it, did it sound sweet or what

Funny how times change though, when the LC first came out it was definately a younger persons hooning tool. Also at the Cafe yesterday but didnt get a pic was a guy called Lawrence, who I believe is in his 80's, he was riding his brand Anniversary XSR900, already seen by some as a modern successor to the LC, pretty bike.
When I was about 10 or 11 all my mates who had big brothers, who were say 19 or 20, either wanted that yamaha or had one. Definatively the hooning tool of the early 80's I'd guess. Only a few made it through alive though...
My mate Andy survived parking one in the back door of an Austin 1100 with no more than bruising and broken arm back in 1982. Young lady driver was ok if a little shaken. Don't think she'd ever pull out without looking again....
And yes, he "hooned" around a lot on it. We were all a bit daft in those days.
Came across this the other day, didn't manage to speak to the owner. Still a work in progress but different and nice.

He could turn it into one of these maybe, the kits designed for 3 pots, but the guy reckons it will probably do a 4 pot too.
