sendero Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Beave, I couldn't make this **** up if I tried. It is a VERY small world. A few minutes ago I got a call from a ridin' buddy who said "Sendero! Get out of the life sucking chair and git yer *** over here, ya gotta see this bike!" (I'm not working today cuz I'm part mexican.) "Si Senior, I'm on it. I'll be right there." I jumped in the Polaris Ranger and melted it over to where the bike was. There was my buddy who called in the sighting, and there it was... the PERFECT Beave bike. Based on a KX 500, this thing was ready for section clearing. No livin' thing is getting anywhere near this bike, or in a section, unless the rider allows it. I couldn't believe my eyes. EVERYTHING on it was cammo, even the tires. It had an M-249 SAW on a Dobsonian turret mounted to the handlebars, an M-4gery (AR-15 for those that don't know) with telescopic sight and silencer hangin' off the side, a LAW rocket launcher on a rack on the front fender, a radio set with satellite up-link and infared targeting capability hangin' off the side, and a mil-spec helmet and goggles resting on the rear fender. It even had Guillie stuff hangin' all over it. It was all done in six color "Shwartzkoff" desert cammo. The guy who owned it was there loadin' some stuff in the truck. I just had to ask "Dude! Is this a movie bike?" "Yup." He then proceeded to tell us all about it. It's been in this movie that movie, we got 12 of 'em, Arnold wants one, etc. etc. etc. After listening to all that, and tellin' him how impressive his work is, I just had to ask "Do you know Lane Leavitt?" "Oh yea, I know him." Then he proceeded to tell us all about you and the things you do. It was all very positive. You are very well respected in the industry. Right on, Beave! After we were done talkin', I managed to snap a photo of the bike with my cell phone camera, but I have no friggin' idea how to get the photo on this board, nor do I wanna spend the time learning how. Here is your mission, Beave, should you choose to accept it... Get ahold of your buddy, Gary Robert, and somehow post a photo or a link to a photo, of the bike for all us TC Heads to see. This bike is YOU baby! Get on it! Sendero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mich lin Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Sendero, sounds like just the tool we need! We meet a ton of people working, it's kinda like trials you meet so many wonderful people but I've been banged on the head so many times, "hey I do stunts!". I simply can't place everyone! It was very nice of him to say some kind things. Hope he has some great success with his toys. That's what so cool about the movie business, we work with cool toys and meet some very interesting people. Debbie just finished a job where she drove the Enzo Ferrari # 199 out of 200 in the world and the Ford GT getting to spin and slide both these cars all over the place. Daniel was lucky enough to ride along with her on a test drive in a driving rainstorm at the former El Toro Marine base airfield. So there was a ton of room to let the Enzo rip. At about 120mph and in a driving rainstorm they hit a puddle of water and the spun the Enzo about 3 or 4 times until it stopped. Thank God there was plenty of room! How many people get to take somebody's else's Enzo and drive it as fast as they can? Ya got to love it! Yes Hollywood has it's perks! Hollywood with all its bad points, does have some very creative people! It's also one of the USA's biggest exports to the world and is the engine of the Southern Califorian economy. If Hollywood fails or is outsourced, chances are that the whole US economy will go into recession. Sorry for being so long winded! It part of being passionate about machines and the industry I work in. lets see that picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sendero Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'm back! I made the same old mistake I always do... I tried to load software that would allow me to move the photo from my phone to my PC. As usual, the Way Back Machine (my PC) started smokin' and clankin' and ultimately imploded. It took Peabody and Sherman (our local computer geeks) all this time to fix it. So the photo will remain on my phone until I can get some teenager to get it to here. Peabody and Sherman wouldn't touch the project. They're smart computer geeks. Sorry 'bout that. I'll keep tryin' Beave. Ya gotta see this.

mich lin Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 One pal of mine builds a bike called the Boss Hog! It's an alloy Corvette V-8 powered motorcycle. He's built a military version with fake guns, a presidental version with the airforce 1 layout and a few other custom versions. Now that's one BIG bike, with a load of torque and horse power.
