Why the hell did he need to put the "GIGANTE" sticker on? Unless it was built by a person with a sense of pure style and then sold to a stereotype custom guy who thought "needs stickers and a blower".

Dear CA, I never thought it would happen to me.... I saw so many posts of people with turtles in the middle of roads and then I was in the middle of my trip in gently caress arse no where and all of a sudden BAM, turtle on the road. Luckily avoided him, stopped and helped him across the road.  Surprisingly I didn't take many photos on my trip, it was the first really long solo ride I have had and I was too busy having an awesome time.

I know a dude who hit a wombat in a Mighty Boy.. It bent the whole car but when he stopped, he couldn't find the wombat, he could just hear it grumbling in the bushes as it continued on its way, apparently. Ride safe DiZ!

I tried to find a guy riding in laderhosen, but no luck. All though I'd never want to be in Hell's Angels or be some harley snob, I still find the 60's and 70's chopper scene and motorcycle clubs pretty fascinating. Maybe it's just the romanticized image of the rebels on annoying motorcycles, but I see the appeal. Have some east bay dragons and chosen few.           ^^^A good read from what I've heard.

I'm with Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester on that one. No reason to admire or glorify a group of individuals that are, and has been for most of the group's history, involved in drug trafficking, extortion, prostitution, violence and generally making the world a worse place to live. An accountant with a garage queen harley is a wannabe posing as a biker, a hell's angels member with a harley is a criminal posing as a biker.

Your rear end in a top hat link didn't work and I really want to see who is an rear end in a top hat. I bet it's Alton Brown, he seems like he could be a douche and he's in to motorcycles.

I kinda figured that the whole " JESSEJAMES posted:You spelled my name wrong....... thing would have been all the hint anyone needed. That and the fact that dietcokefiend's link went to one of Jesse James' posts on ADV... Although, I do sheepishly admit wanting to go sample the fare at his (James', not DietCokeFiend's) restaurant in LA now.

They're an absolute riot, especially if you're sitting right by turn one where you can watch them kick the bikes sideways. I saw a guy fly completely over the guardrail, 20ft down, while slamming into a lightpost. They're insane. Edit: The flag guy in the Kenny Roberts video was hilarious. I might have some video lying around, but he was really enjoying waving that flag around. Basically like the guy in On Any Sunday. T-Square fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Dec 20, 2009 |

One of the best things I've seen at one was Kenny Coolbeth using his rear brake enough to make it glow while never letting off the throttle. And while the national races are amazing, a lot of the local amateur races have crazy old guys with random vintage bikes.
