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 wanted something that I could ride on the street yet be legal for the track without having to tape everything over with rolls of blue tape.

Its legal on the street and gets the job done!

That looks like so much fun.

Content : The Weston Beach Race was this weekend and was cancelled. The organisers decided to run the main event even though the conditions were pretty bad (Click the link). Quite a lot of riders ended up getting hurt, a few seriously. The reason for cancelling was that the emergency services were overstretched, which doesn't look good for future events :( .

e: The Weston Beach Race is a 3 hour race in which you do as many laps of the course as possible.

A nice addition to our cycle cargo discussions.



Local newspaper, translated posted:


The motorcyclist was riding with a carpet strapped to his body.

Police were notified this afternoon by concerned drivers in the Fløyfjell Tunnel.

- The rider had a carpet strapped to his body. He was weaving erratically in the lane and had problems keeping balance, says operations leader Oddvar Nordfonn at Hordaland precinct.

The rider was stopped by police shortly after in the Danmarksplass intersection.

A NOS sticker on the keg and a hose leading down to the engine would make for a great joke on passers by.

It's really not anything out of the ordinary as far as custom bikes go. It has a lot of rake, but that front end is just a springer front end. It's probably just a show bike anyways as it doesn't appear to have any brakes.

I think he just sucks. That launch, for an extended swingarm gixxer 1k, is straight up pathetic.

Somewhere there's a video of a guy doing burnouts on a flattracker with no front brake. I can't seem to find it...he just starts it spinning and then just does these really tight circles with it. He's surrounded by an entire crowd too, which makes it more impressive/stupid.
