My first bike that I brought home Friday. 88' ninja ex500 with just under 17,000 miles. Should be registered and insured tomorrow so I can get my first rides in (On some very unpopulated roads).

Slow video, but 2:00 in you can hear what may be the nicest sounding dual-sport ever. Certainly the best sounding 650cc dual-sport. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/770406/1987_cagiva_elefant_lucky_strike_edition/ Makes me miss my Monster.

 I found this at the bottom of the twisty section of 33 when i checked my tires I don't know if it's leaking or not yet, but be careful and give your tires a quick visual once over before you go anywhere on the bike at the least. I tried to get some video while riding, but unfortunantly, holding the camera and riding at the same time doesn't work so well.

Oh God, D&D, the loudest pipes availiable, on a Buell, the loudest sportbike availiable. That thing must sound like a V-twin freight train. Thats a sweet bike though, I have always loved the way they look, and from what everyone says, they are absolutely brilliant handlers, and a hoot to ride.

Phat_Albert posted:That thing must sound like a V-twin freight train. I love it. I get a reaction out of the cruiser/harley guys at the lights, and I can still ride with the sport bike crowd. It's a little of both. I'm not normally the center of attention, but I do love talking about the bike when asked--and that happens quite frequently. It's a blast to ride, too. I've gained so much upper body strength, just trying to hold on to the drat thing when I get on it. Buell has a new bike, the 1125R. Take a look at that if you're interested in becoming a Bueller. As for the D&D, this youtube video made me purchase it. And this is my bike (camera phone, lovely quality).

Just as a random note: If you're gaining significant amounts of upper body strength from "holding on to the bike", you're doing it wrong...you should relax and let the bike sort itself out when you get on the gas, and always be light on the handlebars. Holding on tight to them doesn't allow the front suspension to work correctly. Relax on the bars and you'll find your job is a lot easier

Just for the sake of completeness offroad folks there are some counterpoints: Rivers/creeks deep sand diverging ruts(when they start splitting apart if area has alot of traffic) And of course, any slow speed nasty offroad stuff. And in general these circumstances need your tight hold only because an obstacle can instantly jack your wheel to full lock or similar. It makes me think really, it would be great to grab all the offroad guys and talk technique.

Uploaded a video of me from early 06 on my brand new R6 at summit point race way on a damp day. I'm not exactly following the break in advice in the manual. Oh also there is a split screen view, one from my tank and one from a chase bike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ArLQU5Wuoc

Ah, but once you get that steering damper on, you don't ever hold on to those handlebars tight. On sure way to screw yourself is to use those bars to support your body, especially in those 'oh poo poo hang on for dear life' moments when you really think you need it. I personally would really like a technique discussion, I have been learning gobs about high speed off-road riding lately.

Fantastipotamus posted:3:08.. lets LETS STick to the PUBLIC ROADS! 180mph on a bike isn't exactly a "legit" 180. Motorcycle speedos are about 8-9% high. Plus, I'm sure it's 2 different vids sliced together.
