1970/1971 Ducati RT450? Quite rare, actually, if that's what it is.

Ha, my MB5 was also "made" one year, but at least that was just as far as importing it to the US. That thing has been a nightmare for parts; I can't imagine what a one-year Ducati costs to get parts for.

Z3n: Jul 21, 2007; 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.

this was originally a 70s moto-guzzi:

I love it, 60mpg on a (700?)lb bike? That's better than I get on my DR.

Rev you're right, the CBR is the harder bike to do it with. I still dig the full 360 though

I'm going to bust out my pedal bike and start practicing that again - I used to be able to do a 180.

its only here in Amerikka that two guys on a bike is considered gay. One of the funnest things in life is riding a bike with a bro, you're free to gently caress around and holler and broads plus, cruising on a bike without having to worry about doing the actual riding is awesome.

Well yeah, thats what's posted above. The sheet metal screws work OK but they don't stop you as well. They also wear down.

Assuming you screwed those with a drill, how long did it take you? How many per tire?

# ? Jan 30, 2009 23:00

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester: Oct 3, 2000

48 rows of alternating 5/4 knob rows per tire, around 450 knobs total, 1 screw each. took me 20/30 minutes with a power drill for one tire.

# ? Jan 31, 2009 00:37

jdonz: Jan 4, 2004

I'm glad it doesn't snow/ice in Phoenix. I'd imagine its easier to keep a studded pair in the shop then do this once a season. Do they last one season?

Edit: Not that you remove the screws and still use the tire.

# ? Jan 31, 2009 00:44

mutt2jeff: Oct 2, 2004; The one, the only....

Unless you used some epoxy, dont expect your tires to stay studded for very long. your going to be leaving little treats for every other vehicles tires anywhere you go.

Video's? Dang you all are pushy!!! Vlasic posting at 3:41am? Either you get up for work before I do, or you shouldn't be out that late drinking and posting.

Here's a couple I got from my Go Pro Wide Camera Mounted on the headlight.
The Great Highway:

Through The Broadway Tunnel. Should have tightened the adjusting knobs a little more on this one, as the camera usually is very steady.

Big turnout, and great to arrive at Marina Greens to a parking lot full of riders. Great weather for a night ride. What, you've never done one before? That's only your own fault. Miles of smiles from everyone, including the "freindly" waves from on-lookers. No, they were'nt giving us "The Bird", or yelling at us either.

Feedback is always welcome.

Thanks to Neo(Peter, but don't ever call him Late For Supper!!!)777 laid down a great route(root as Connor says it). Riding aroung the whole city was a blast, fog or no fog. I have been told by my Filipino that it's not the fog, it's the Daly City Rice Cookers. If this offends anyone, PM me and I'll edit this out of my post.

Connor, Corbett, Mike(Naughty), and all the others that help at intersections are very much appreciated.

This must be the group I just saw here at the top of coit tower. What's up with the dude in the blue and white leathers with the gun holsters, and tails that likes to rev his engine and ride around in circles? Is that the barf way of asserting your leadership of the pack?
This is one of the regular riders, Corbett, and contributes tremendously with the rides. Be it silly, but whenever there's a traffic circle, riding aroung a few circles is a common thing. You should come along sometime.

Thanks for hanging it out Hearts. We encourage more women to attend. Other than that, we're a pretty nice group of guys. As for the Dancin' Queen at Pier 39, I think she was having a seizure or something. I haven't seen dancing like that since Molly Ringwald danced that one scene in The Breakfast Club.

By Big Turnout, he meant 40-50 riders
