I don't get why they'd seize the bike. Just because you speed down a highway doesn't mean they can steal your car, does it? What if they were driving a Ferrari Enzo, would they suddenly get to keep a million dollar supercar?

I was under the impression that he was running from the cops which is a much bigger deal than speeding, but, on second thought, I don't know if running from the cops will get your vehicle seized. Of course, you shouldn't be allowed on the road if you're that dumb.

(Could you imagine showing up at a police auction with an Enzo on the block? That'd be pretty sweet)

Cleaned the bike off today, forgot the opposite side of the exhaust. No one can see it anyway unless crouching down:





Result from my recent parking lot encounter, where someone hit&ran my bike. The R&G Sliders worked amazingly well. Damage is as seen below and a scuffed up mirror:

If you had a choice between these listed bikes, to be used as a corner carver and kickass track bike, which would you choose?

1. Honda RC51
2. Suzuki TL1000

One's more of a Sport-Tourer and one is an RC51. They're kind of in different leagues.

RC51 by a long shot. Beautifully strong, torquey engine. Completely uncomfortable to ride as a road bike though, from what I've read in reviews.

CC cops are notorious dicks. IIRC, there is still a huge fuckoff debate raging about this action. Cop is likely going to lose his job, and the city is probably going to lose the suit as well.

I'm assuming you mean the TL1000R and not the S. Regardless, the RC is still better. Very strong engine, looks mean as hell, and sounds like the end of the world. Very uncomfortable though, the seat is like a half inch thick piece of wood.

Infineon Ahoy!!

It was my first time to Infineon and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is able. As soon as you walk in you'll be strolling past the pits, neat.





Hey I've heard of these guys.





I wanna see this kids work permit.



More hot pit action.








Now to find a spot to watch the race.


That grassy knoll on the right should do nicely.




It was a great day full of great races. The elevation changes and the skill required to get around this track simply can't be conveyed through the TV broadcasts, it is simply amazing what these men do. I will definatly be coming back next year.

I was posting to say that's Josh Herrin, but the filename tells me you already know. I did a trackday pitted across from him once, he was ridiculously fast, and off the track, he was playing a gameboy while his father and a mechanic made changes to his bike(s). Cool kid.

I was walking down pit lane during autographs and I said to myself "This kid looks like he's 12 years old. Why is he signing autographs? Oh, thats Josh Herrin!" Yeah, he was super cool, as a huge line was piling up, he just sat and talked to that kid for a good five minutes about why he liked motorcycles and such, a real cool guy.

On a scale of 1 to 10 for "typicalness" I give it a 13. At least they got their brain buckets on!

I'm not even suprised or saddened to see people with no gear. I'm just glad they have a better chance of dieing. I hope they die and leave no genetics behind.

I mean, stereotypically, 18-30 year olds that only have bikes for the bling factor are mainly "Sup Bra" slinging douchetards. They can die. Also, 40-60 year old white male harley chrome polishers.

As you probably guessed, all they do is stunt. I find it cute that they all had to get "gixxers."

Imagine that. The guys that do that on our highways here also use GSXRs. They're a good bike for it I guess.

Sometimes I wish my bike would come up at speed as easily as a literbike would, but that's just a dirty little secret.

Couple days ago I saw a guy driving a H-D VRSC with only one of those old style helmets that only go over the ears. What made it interesting was that he was wearing a suit. One can only hope their death is quick to minimize the burden on the health care system.
