Good racing bike, bad parking bike.

that'll be what happens on brand new tyres that are cold.
Happened to me, but the front tyre let go in a corner and i barely leaned it over.

So its slower than the BMW GS, KTM 990, and Ducati multistrada, less off road capable than the KTM an BMW, and less on road capable than the Ducati while being about the same off road? All at a little less than the price of the BMW? whole thing sounds a bit bland really.

What the poo poo? Do some dealers not scrub the tyres on brand new bikes going of the lot? Still, its not really their fault. Poor guy.

My old dealer used to place a sticker on the dash saying something like "Careful, new tires!" when you picked up your bike that had its tires changed. But I've never heard of any dealer scrubbing the tires.

Yeah I haven't either. Normally you get told about it, but that's about it. I normally ride home really careful then scrub them with some sandpaper. Well probably not anymore I normally take the wheels off for tires now.

edit: "Human integration deploys yang energy," hahahahaha, what? More like wang energy when you tell dumb gold diggers how much you paid for it.

Your challenge sent me on a wild and unsuccessful google image search for the deer-skin motorcycle. Does anybody have this saved? It's a pic of a motorcycle and a guy both fully decked out in furry deer skin, with the guy wearing the deer's head like a crown/helmet of some kind.

what about that clip from some video game where the biker stops between two cop cars talking to each other drinking coffee, smacks the coffee out of one of the cops hands into his face, then pulls a wheelie and rides off?

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.

I saw a minibike at Harbor Freight today that screams 'good idea'



97cc, no suspension, only a rear brake, and $300? How can I lose? It is so hard walking out of that store without spending a few hundred dollars on "Dude this would be so awesome!"

They're always really crappy and not worth the cost. I had a friend buy one of these, the engine come clean off the frame because the mounts snapped off of the engine casing.

Now see that first one is just misnamed. He's in full safety gear in a wide open space without other people around. I mean if you absolutely have to practice your stunting ability, that seems like the exact way to go about it.

Those second guys... well, why the gently caress would you point a machine doing a burn out, at one doing doughnuts that's surrounded by a loving crowd not looking at you? That's one of those videos where you half expect the bike to fly at the camera and then just cut out.
