PadreScout posted:Hey Ola, this trip I am going to be without my machine (can't afford to have it shipped) would you recommend Norway to someone footing it around and taking public transit? It depends what you want to see really. If you have the time and want to check out some nature, then you can easily get a flight to Bergen from the European hubs, stay for a few days and maybe do an organized trip (such as norway in a nutshell). But if you're into clubs, nightlife, art, museums and so on, I'd be spending my cash on the continent.

If it falls forward just walk off it, it's not like your feet are bolted to the pegs. It only goes walking pace and you're already sitting closer to the ground, it wouldn't be any more dangerous than regular falling over in general.

In addition to looking a fool driving around at walking pace instead of actually walking, you'll look a drat fool when you try to lean back to see all of Monet's Water Lilies and accidentally reverse into a bench and fall over it onto a small child.

I think the point of these things, despite the fit models showing them off, is to help less mobile people like elderly folks get about. Not to help normal, able-bodied people be lazy. That said I'm sure there's some rosy eyed futurist at Honda R&D imagining a Neo Tokyo filled with shiny white buildings and trees and millions of people scooting around on these things going about their daily business.

Skier and I spent a perfectly grey, rainy Saturday attending a local biker rally for ABATE, which is the North Idaho Association of Vest Wearing Cruiser Riders Who Believe in Safety Training Even If They Ignore Parts Of It. We got there first. And waited.  Eventually a be-leathered group of riders showed up on an assortment of cruisers, many with life-saving pipes.  Purty new / newish Goldwing. Claimed it was the best bike he'd ever owned, and loved chatting about it.  Awesome old Honda something-or-other rescued from a hard life of outdoor neglect. It squeaked while standing still and was positively dripping in rust and patina. But, it was honest, and the guy was doing a lot of work to get it running again.  Period Windjammer and hard cases, totally where they belong.  The rescuer / proud papa.  A gubernatorial hopeful showed up to lend his support.     Goldwing owner snaps self-portrait standing next to an easter egg with teeth.  Son. of a bitch.  Then we rode around town in the rain, taking a circuitous route to the courthouse to rabble-rouse. On a Saturday. When all the state employees were at home watching Nascar updates.  Skier reads a statement on behalf of STAR. Not a dry eye in the place. (It was raining)  The Motodwarf!  One more pic of shiny, colorful things. Snide comments aside, it was a great, friendly group of folks, and a good cause.

You had the only bike with full fairings didn't you. edit: I don't care because tricolor hondas are the best bike ever built. I need an '07 VFR to go with my '89 TransAlp. blugu64 fucked around with this message at 08:55 on May 13, 2010 |

Apologies if already posted but: drat! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTLYrrQuQXM&feature=player_embedded Had a similar experience as a rider like this, just without the immediately-trying-to-hit-him part. Wondering why he cut out the part that follows next since it probably ends in the rider getting his rear end kicked :>

Its uncalled for to pass that close, but the rider with the video was just kinda puttering along in no mans land BS'ing or something with the guy in the right lane. Pass or get the gently caress out of the left lane.

That is in dallas fort worth during busy traffic middle of the day on a saturday. I wouldn't ride a motorcycle there in full gear let alone only a tire around my rear end, no helmet or gloves or pants or anything.
