Oh hey rope kid you should have said something about coming over here, we could've met up or something. I had some Indian tourists take pics of me on my 10R at that very same junction where you snapped the lane splitters. Yeah i was lane-splitting too. I get my bike mags from a book dealer right upstairs from the little bike shop with all the dirtbikes parked outside. Small world.

I am considerably dumber for having read the YouTube comments. They just may be more painful than the video.

I don't think I've ever had a pizza, or any other food for that matter, delivered to me by car in Japan. Here is the local Domino's fleet: Custom Honda Zoomers baby! Also a poor shot of a bike parked in Domino's' lot:

Doesn't that cause the pizza toppings to slide down to the bottom of the pizza? I mean, yeah, it's Dominoes with rubber cheese but still. Weird.

raffie posted:More crazy Japanese gymkhana action. Impressive. When the rider on the red bike loses it about halfway through the clip - was he on his front brake a little heavily? Can't quite make out what his right hand is doing, but it looks like he locked the front wheel and tucked it. Am I seeing things correctly?

I really liked the DRZ guys in that video. One of the ones later was doing some ~4-5 foot diameter turns like it was nothing. I also liked their sound under acceleration. They are at least a billion times better at riding than I will ever be.

Jazzzzz posted:Impressive. Yes you're right, he came in a little too hot/braking too late and grabbed too much of the front brake. The thing about gymkhana is that you have to be on the front brakes to get the bike turned in that tight, you'll notice alot of the riders are running with shorty levers and have their index fingers over the front brake all the time.

More gymkhana. They start off explaining some of the bikes then show some participants on minibikes towards the end. Last shot is of one of the judges starting off the course wheelying on a really funky scooter. I actually saw a guy on that same bizarre machine on the road a few weeks ago... he smiled at me as I grinned at him walking by. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp-2oR-oZ7U&mode=related&search=

Ride report: 02-22-07 I have been watching the weather for the past month just waiting for a nice 70 degree day. Earlier this week was nice as well but my work week is normally busiest at the first of the week, so I stalled out for today. Woke up, drank coffee, took a shower, and rolled out. Pretty good flow of traffic, except for a merge right before 161st on I-44, that backed it up a bit. After that, smooth sailing, until scenic 412 that is. Scenic 412.  The gateway to the twisties really. You'll probably use this road if you're going to AR or MO. Nice couple of turns before Locust Grove, then head up through Sallisaw to Spavinaw for some even better curves. Through "new road" to Jay, then on a long ride, probably up through 20 into MO to ride highway 90. Today there was a slight hickup in my smooth sailing. It's called wide load.  Some huge railway system stuff or something. Took up most of both lanes and no traffic could go through.  Oh and bonus, while we were waiting another wide load rolled up. Good thing they didn't meet in the middle, as I doubt either one of these guys would have been able to back up.  HERE SHE COMES BOYS!!! No rush though, still took like 5 minutes for it to even get to us.  How many axles does that thing need????? Also it backed up traffic something fierce. OK, onward an upward through Locust grove and Sallisaw to Spavinaw. Roads right now in Spav are pretty clean. Lots of road kill out and about though, so definitely watch for that, as well as lots of tree damage, but most of that is off on the sides. Fun times.  It wouldn't be an Oklahoma road sign if it didn't have bullet holes. This is the famed Spavinaw horseshoe. A long right that is decreasing radius. Watch for it if you're cruising through Spav and take this one kinda slow.  The Pit Stop. Now closed but used to be a nice little place to stop off for a break. I still want to find out if it's for sale and open it up again. I didn't get any shots of new road, not really anything on it but turns and chicken farms. Cruised through new road to Jay, decided to get some eats. I am normally of the mind to find someplace local and different. I missed out and went the wrong way. Finally after not seeing anything that looked good, I turned around and had a quick bite at Mcdonalds. Doh, rolled out and went up to get on highway 127 and just a half mile away there was a little bbq shack. I missed out. Went to go check out highway 127. FYI it's trashed.  Yay for twisties!!  WHOO HOOO, even tighter twisties, but in the middle of these twisties...  Whoa, something in the MIDDLE of the road. No fun.  Oh, a big pile of hay and poo poo in the road, this is always fun to exit a corner into.  Mind your entry speed. Oh and watch for rocks! At the end of 127 the stop sign before new road is full of sand. I was doing the flintstone shuffle to get it stopped without locking anything up. I'm sure the guy in the car at the stop sign thought I was a freak! I ran new road, turned around, ran new road again, stopped in Jay at the gas station filled up and went BACK through new road and back through Spavinaw stopping in Salina. Good times but the traffic had definitely picked up from this morning. I went through this morning without having to pass any cars. The afternoon I passed a goldwing, and probably 4 cars or so. I stopped in Salina for a coke and a brief break. If you have ever watched that show over the hill, the one with boomhower or whatever. I met his his grandfather in Salina. Was going to get a coke and the guy was "ble de me hoom sha hey what?" to which I replied "Yeup". He wanted to shake my hand and show me his glasses as well. Good times. I pay for my coke head out the door. He comes out a bit later as I am smoking, goes at it again. "behend de da boop shmeee sorta n kinda well boop dat boop whoo" I mostly just nodded. Then 2 cop cars come flying through lights and sirens blazing. He advises me that there's a fire. Sure enough a fire truck comes blazing through just a couple of minutes later. Good call dude. I was headed home, but what the hell. Cop cars? Fire engines? Gotta be something cool. I gear up and roll back through Spavinaw but never find them nor see any smoke or actually anything cool really. Just turns. I round out the day at blue hole, and turn around and go back through Spav. Taking time to Rev it a bit at a Mom/Daughter who were waving at me. Roll back home, meet up with Sam_Rush and head to K&N. Total miles 239.  :up Oh and lastly, you can tell everyone is super pumped to get out and ride, as EVERYONE on a bike waved. Eh cept for one Harley guy and one Goldwing guy. Silver fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Feb 23, 2007 |

Nice Silver. How do you like that tankbag? I have the same one and am on my third one. My first one, one of the velcro seems was coming apart after 2 days. My second one, I had just put it on my bike and was playing with the handle at a stop light and it came right off on one side. My third is still sitting in my garage with the tags on it. Oh and it also scratched my tank. yay.

Were they strap on bags? I love mine, got it from Squishy_Buddha. Has a neoprene base so no scratching or slipping, and since the RR tanks are plastic, it straps on. For the most part, yeah I love it and would dearly miss it. Coretech super mini, they're on Newenough for like 50 bux I think. edit: Just saw you had the same one. Weird. I know Squish used it for awhile. I have had no complaints really.
