The tail makes it look goofy to me. The distance between the back of the tank and the end of the tail is way out of proportion to the distance between the back of the tank and the front of the fairing.

I hate the way almost all tail swaps make the back end of the bike go all  No one who does those swaps looks at the lines of the bike, it's almost always just bodged on.

I went to a pro flat track race in Hagerstown, MD last weekend. I shot this pretty low quality video (they wouldn't let us stand on the fence), and the only reason I'm posting it is because it's the only time I've seen someone make the brake rotor on a Harley glow red: http://vimeo.com/5813596

That busa looks retarded, at least its ugly rear end has an aerodynamic purpose, that gixxer tail just looks wrong tacked on the back there. some video from the road racing last weekend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J0R0KhNCbk edit: onboard vid from a previous years racing at the same village http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHLkUBt-S50 echomadman fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Aug 1, 2009 |

Just a future heads-up, You never button the bottom button of a suit, unless it's a 1-button suit of course.

This is a local guy from Atlantic City, NJ with a wicked talent for building custom motorcycles. He is the best welder I've ever met. His name is Ransom and his bikes are one of a kind with GSX-R and CBR engines. One of his bikes has a 14" seat height. Check out his web site http://www.ransombikes.com. The Serpent

These guys were blasting down the 110 today (at 70+ mph). Is it common for stuntazzz to run super-low tire pressures or does this seem normal?

Those types of riders are the first thing that pops into my mind when a cop follows me on my sport bike for miles. "No sir, I'm not a stunta, please leave me alone." And yeah, low tire pressure lessens the bikes tendancy to veer one way or another. I wish I had pictures of guy I knew who recently wrecked his SV doing a stand up wheelie.

eggy you may wanna check your tire pressure, that's probably why they're following you.

Partly its my lower fairings that make the SV look extra squidly, mostly its my Jardine slip-on. That can is worth the trouble for the flames it shoots. May have to try and get a picture of that one night to post in this thread.

The instructor at my pre-L's course had to ride those things so that he could train riders for one of those companies, and he said it was just about the sketchiest thing ever, haha. He wasn't a fan at all.

Phy posted:I actually just found this out buying my second ever suit It's a tradition leading back to an English king getting too fat between being measured for his suit and getting it for a dinner party, and he wasn't able to button the bottom button. Everyone at his party unbuttoned the bottom button of their suits to make him feel less insecure I guess, and the tradition was born. Also wanna say the serpent is awesome.

I've worn off my chicken strips and actually drug my toe on the last good ride I did, but I still haven't put a knee down. I almost feel inferior for not doing so.
