Default Newest Member just bought a 1973 Camaro

Picked up a 1973 Camaro. From what I know it was originally an LT trim with a 350. The first owner drove it around and eventually blew up the engine. They put in a 454 beast, added a roll cage, and did some extra tuning for drag racing (the extent of which in still investigating). The second owner got it and did some body work changing the paint from the original blue to the silver gray, two black stripes. The work was done by MAACO and they didn't do a very good job but from a few feet away it looks incredible. I'm the third owner and already have a long list of things I want to do to it. I'm also a motorcycle rider and loved being involved in those forums so I thought I'd find one for my new baby.

Very nice,love me some big block,had a '69 with a 427 years ago.
What kind of bike/s do you have? I've ridden since I was 10 years old starting with a spanking new Bonanza minibike way back in 1966.
56 years later I have 3 Harleys a vintage '74 Sportster an '89 FXR Super Glide and a 2019 Electra Glide for touring.
Bought the Electra new ,wife and I love seeing the country and it's my 3rd Electra Glide touring bike,last was a 2000 also bought new that year and sold in 2020 with 200,000 miles on it. I love all kinds of bikes and did a lot of dirt riding when I was a bit younger,too old for a sportbike especially being 6' 230 lbs with a bad back and knees but I like go fast stuff.

You need better tires if you're racing. What type of brake pad do you have?

Mostly sportbikes. I'm getting to the point that racing isn't for me anymore so I sold my CBR1000RR but I kept my SV650S to get around town on. I've had a few others asking the way but normally kept to the suzuki sport bikes.

I haven't even taken a look yet at the brakes yet. They are on my list. The previous owner threw in the slicks for the drag strip but I'm likely not going to use them.
