Yeah. The Interstate was introduced in 1999, and they stopped making it in 2002. The Valkyrie line ended production in 2003. It could be he had it lowered though.

Here is a link to Twist The Throttle on Discovery Turbo. They have some great shows about the history of BMW, Bimota, Ducati, MV Augusta etc.

From the Twist the Throttle link, toward the end of this video you see a man at the MV Agusta factory who has the job of sitting on each and every bike and revving the poo poo out of it.

I've been into photography for a while, but I lost about the last years worth of work in a hard drive crash (I know, I know). I used the whole catastrophe as a chance to upgrade and start shooting more, so I bought a DSLR and that's the first photo I've taken with it.

Do you know of a good place to learn how to use an DSLR properly? I tried using my mom's Digital Rebel XT and that thing frustrates the ever living gently caress out of me. I couldn't try to get a picture as good as that - I just especially suck at night shots.

I just need to know about what tools to use where on the camera. Every time I try tooling with aperture or exposure I end up getting garbly messes.

Start with a cheap 35mm and learn the basics of composition, exposure, focus, ect. I started shooting on a $60 Pentax K1000 a few years ago. It's like any other skill; Start small and basic and work up. I don't consider myself a great photographer by any means so I don't really think I can lecture about it or anything, but if you've got a local community college they most likely have a photo program that you can enroll in for dirt cheap. That's how I learned the basics.

My girlfriend put together a cool little video for school of my friends and I at Moses Lake this weekend. Assignment was music video less than 60 seconds, I think it came out really well. I am in the red Thor jersey. The guys I was with are both big motox riders, and it was really cool to ride with people better than me, pushed my skill level way up. I just have to work on my control in the air and I will really be ready to launch myself off stuff. Also, paddle tires rock.

I'm going with a generic Harley in the front, a sidecar, and the rear end of a Hurst to bring it all together, while it all sits on a trailer.

...actually I lied I just read the description I can't tell what the gently caress is going on with that picture.

That was pretty good. "THE CORPSE CORPS" repeated over an over at 25% higher volume than everything else was annoying, but I suppose that's kind of the point, as well as being sort of period accurate.

Holy gently caress does that thing accelerate hard.

Now, the question is, is that bike remote controlled, or is the monkey actually hitting the throttle?
