Whoa, workin motorcycles, pres butan it go.


Wheres this cuppy thing go? FYI, if you use repsol you don't need that cuppy thing, you're just lucky I had one.


WHERE DA WHEELS GO??? WTF.


Who cares about the wheels. WE FOUND WHERE THE CUPPY THING GOES!!!


Gary shows up on his KTM we all stand around and watch Juan work on his bike while laughing.


Here's the KTM guys all hanging out and me going "Whoa, lot's of KTM's let's hope they don't drop parts everywhere".


KTM'S EVERYWHERE!!!!!


Now they are gearing up to leave, Juan is washing his stuff. They're like "later dude". No parts were left, but Cliff had to lock tight some stuff before leaving at Bob's request.


It's a very clean KTM.


Ok this. THIS. See how he's not looking at backing up but at the yard?? Yeah.


Here they are leaving in a blur. :mad:

Simulated Motocyclist Hitting Highway Guardrail At 60 km/h

Upon further review it looks as if the car is trying to overtake the vehicle ahead. The buy in the bike seems to be at fault.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

You can just barely see the Bug driver flip on their signal as they go to pass and shove the motorcyclist off the road. Guy on the GSX-R got a little too excited to go blowing by people.

He's got little arms, but is a VERY good rider. He's owned/rides Yamaha R6, for multiple 400+ mile days and track days. KTM 105cc dirt bike, ridden a bunch. Now he's on the KTM690SM. He might have others. Does a lot of his own work on bikes, such as putting on the exhaust on his KTM. He's also loving hilarious/awesome guy all around. He's just made it work.

I guess there was a group ride some time ago and Bob was on it, some newer guys were talking to an older veteran rider and asking the same question, "How is he going to ride... will he be able to keep up?" the veteran replied "Guys, don't worry about him keeping up, you just try to keep up with him". By the end of the ride they were like "Respect." hehe. Bob's loving awesome.

I meant no disrespect, I just did a double take looking through the photos and was like "aw hell naw dat boy ain't putting on a jacket on and going out 12 o'clocking his essemm"

Does he have raised bars on his bikes? or does he maintain a full tuck always?

Oh yeah I didn't figure any disrespect intended. Mostly leans forward a lot, I think the only thing he's really done is a throttle thing. He's only got 2 fingers on each arm, so it's to make it easier for to grip/twist.

Trips that he's done so far have been Laguna Seca for MotoGP/Pac 1 on the R6 with a couple of friends.

He actually has a DR650 too I forgot to add that one. On that he went down to Copper Canyon in Mexico(one of my dream trips fyi) with some buddies of ours. Bob's the man. :)

I've never been able to equate the sound of the Triumph RocketIII with an aftermarket pipe to any other combustion engined vehicle. Now I can. It sounds very similar to the CBX in the first video below.

That's the closest I could find to the Triumph off-road pipe. But the Zard is a bit "tinny" sounding.

that loving thing made 80hp out of 500cc in 1954. and it was dohc. it's nuts. bmw's fastest bike in 1955 made like 34hp out of 600cc. but it exploded a few times and i think maybe killed a rider in some races, so it balanced out.

Hrm. not sure what I think about this. Found it on Craigslist

quote:

$$$$$$$$ -- DUCATI 999 WARBIRD CUSTOM -- $$$$$$$$

For sale is my one of a kind '03 Ducati 999 Superbike. 5700 miles. You won't see another one like it. I'm a pilot and wanted this bike to resemble the baddest fighter of WWII - the mighty P-51 Mustang. It even sounds similar. Close to $3000 worth of custom House of Kolor paint. The red has a slight metallic, the silver has a very coarse metallic. The darker red stripes have mini flakes in them that really sparkle in the sunlight. The black stripes have airbrushed sculls in them. The frame is a little darker shade of gray than original with some red ice pearl added on top. The airbrushed "nose art" says SEEK & DESTROY above an angry duck riding a missile. It looks awesome in person.
Extras include: Paulimoto black anodized billet open clutch cover, Ducati Performance billet pressure plate with stainless springs and gold anodized retainers, billet gas cap, billet engraved clutch and brake reservoir covers, billet bar end caps, carbon fiber ram air covers, carbon fiber ram air inlets, carbon fiber heel gaurds and exhaust pipe gaurd, carbon fiber key gaurd, Sargent seat, solo tail cowl and standard black rear seat, Puig smoke double bubble windscreen, custom clear LED tail light and turn signals, Vortex sprockets geared lower than stock - 38T rear - 14T front - with gold RK X-ring chain 520 conversion, dual oval LeoVince exhaust cans with cat. converter removed, Dynojet Power Commander mapped to this bike with exhaust, Marchesini wheels, Brembo brakes.
NADA avg. retail is $9765. Add on all the extras I have here worth over $5000 and you're getting a great deal on a very unique bike. I'm asking $10,900 OBO.
This bike is in excellent condition, handles superbly, stops on a dime, and sounds AWESOME !!!! Located near Anderson, just across Lake Hartwell in Ga. If interested, I have many more detailed pictures I can send you. 706-308-6661

This is not your everyday bike on the road!!! 2004 Limited Edition Nicky Hayden RVT1000 RC51. Clean and clear title. $6500 is less than a third of what is in the bike!!!!!Ducati Killer. It only has about 4000 miles on it(still riding it) and has thousands in upgrades. NADA values the bike at $7856.00 Without all the upgrades. This is a rare beast.
Here is a list of upgrades:
-Sato Banai titanium Exhaust
-Gilles Rearseats(GP Shift)
-Sato Frame Sliders
-Galfer Steel front and rear Brake lines
-USB Power Comander
-Hotbodies undertail kit
-GPR Steering Damper
-Puig Widescreen
