I picked up my new toy last week. So far, it kicks rear end. I had the dealer put on shotgun pipes, digital speedo/tach, air intake, and EFI remap before I picked it up.  (2007 Victory Vegas 8-ball) It rests in the garage next to our other awesome bike.  (2007 GL1800 Honda Goldwing premium audio/comfort package/navigation)

Some days my commute to work yields interesting sights... Heh, he looks a little hefty sized for that little bike.  OMG! He's riding a huge "12 O'Clock" wheelie for a block.  He really is at least 300lbs.

I can't help but laugh when I see really fat people on sportbikes/scooters. It looks like a clown on one of those minibikes. Was he doing the wheelie because he saw you taking pictures?

I don't think he saw me snapping the pictures. But he did have an "SBFreaks" patch on the back of his jacket which leads me to believe he fancies himself as some sort of "stunter"... To be honest his wheelie was nearly at a full high-noon position and came up nice and smoothly.

He doesn't even need to gas it, he just leans back a little and the front wheel pops right up. I wonder if he had to cut the cheek pads out of his helmet so his jowls could fit.

Seems like he would have gotten way less hosed up if his friend would have just stopped completely and not continued to video tape him.

With that much fat to act as a shock absorber, broken bones aren't going to be a problem when he crashes.

orinth posted:Maybe it's just the speed of the gif, but it doesn't look like he's going too fast to have avoided that truck. It must have been the thing where you concentrate on an object and for some reason can't swerve away from it. I've done that racing motocross before. Unless you look where you wanna go, you run right into what you're looking at.

I had a friend do that to one of those big plastic mailboxes, the 'indestructible' ones they have at Home Depot. Totally missed a curve that wasn't sharp at all, and just nailed the box with his left handlebar. Sending him into a cool cartwheel.

Pretty cool motorcycle awareness video. Not the one you have seen where they're all naked. http://youtube.com/watch?v=XPvcd0b1gHM Also on the fat guy on the bike, in the last picture did he just set down a wheelie? Or does he roll around all the time with the front shocks compressed almost fully. Whoa. Lastly, to add picture content, helping a friend out to build portfolio, I'm a SUPA STAR!

I was westbound, he was eastbound, so I didn't get that great of a look, but how many bikes are rolling around with that much gear? I didn't remember where this guy supposedly was, so I came back to check. Bonneville is I-80 two states over, so is he trekking eastward?

Like the anonymous adventure rider who inspired me in San Diego. I saw this dude roll into a gas station on a filthy BMW 1150GSA with a female companion on the back and an ENORMOUS mound of gear lashed across the rack between two huge Touratech panniers. He had stickers from all over the world on his bike, including Iceland. He got off of his bike and removed his goggles, revealing the most leathery, travel-worn skin I have seen in memory. I talked to him and found out that he was from Italy and basically just rides around all over the place with his lady. Epic.
