Hi All,

I've just joined OF and thought I would introduce myself. I generally frequent the Omega forum on watchuseek and have done since 2009. Still I've found this one now too and there can never be too much Omega in my life!! I've owned several over the last few years and right now I have a model which will need no introduction!

I look forward to becoming a contributing member in the coming months and years.

 

welcome! [emoji2]

 

Welcome - lovely POLMLE

 

Welcome !

 

Hi, welcome to the forum.

 

I assume it's no coincidence that it's sitting on a book titled "The Mid-Life Crisis" ...?
Welcome!

 

Big welcome!!! Nice Ladybird book

 

Welcome welcome.

 

Welcome

 

More than welcome!!

 

Yep, I've got a few mid life crisis pieces too.....

 

back when I was young enough to have a "midlife crisis" I bought a Kawasaki Ninja and had that lettered across the tail.

 

Welcome!

 

Nice. Had a zx11 for a while. Think I got 160 out of it. Next was a Hayabusa . Converted it to nitromethane . Some great stories there. Now I have a Harley, like every other aging hipster.

 

welcome home

 

Oops, instead of hijacking your thread I should have said Hello and Welcome!

I too found Omega Forums after a long while on Watchuseek. Its like a hidden oasis. Bask in the glow of its bounty.

 

A 1300 on nitrous.... you're lucky to still be around.

I was always a two stroke twin nut.... loved that smell of half fried Castrol!

 

I know what you mean. My wife caught me behind an old Roadrunner a few days ago in a parking lot, smelling the unfiltered exhaust. Mmmmm, memories of my youth.

BTW, it was nitromethane, not nitrous...similar but different. Nitromethane is a liquid fuel power adder. Back when I was drag racing (great stories there too), I saw alot of damage from nitrous. A fuel company that made nitromethane for offshore powerboating, used to give me fuel for free in exchange for dyno data...they didn't have anyone using it for motorcyles except me. Fun Fun Fun. 225hp on a modest mix, 250hp on a spirited mix, and that's unblown. Just fuel and some other basic mods to accomodate. 205mph top speed by GPS. I learned a fun fact from that...tires melt at that speed. One of the reasons for the 186mph limit on most bikes. Tire technology couldn't keep up with horsepower. Had strips of rubber goo hanging off the fenders. Kept things to about 180 after that.

Been through 8 1/2 lives I think so I take it easy now. Although that Harley I mentioned? I put a blower on it.

 

yer a sick puppy.....

then again, I may have done some silly things in the past....

built a few of these.
I always love bikes that you can throw a basketball through...

that nice light look of an engine on wheels.

 

Welcome! Nice watch!
