Wanna see a video of Space Rogue there and his awesome futurebike in a clumsy and embarassing low-speed drop right in front of a day care or a vacuum repair shop or something.

As impressed as I was with the Dark Knight extras in that they actually made and drove that crazy bat-pod thing, it's functionally retarded to try and drive anything like that on the street.

California. Where replica hand grenades are illegal but you can ride around with a motorcycle seemingly equipped with rockets, submachine guns, and a couple of flamethrowers.

The guy at 0:56 looks like when Coyote lights the rocket with the handlebars on it and it zooms out of the screen, all stretchin his arms whilst he dangles there with a goofy look. And seconding the 1:28 mention.

Dickhead on a Gixxer (what else?) tried to run from the cops this morning. It's the same strech of road I ride fairly often in the mornings and I always go a bit above the speed limit. Everyone does in the morning rush and I've never seen a speed trap there. Good thing my license is suspended, otherwise I might have lost my license. Click here for the full 997x665 image. I wouldn't run from the cops though, that's just all kinds of dumb.

Everyone does in the morning rush and I've never seen a speed trap there. Good thing my license is suspended, otherwise I might have lost my license. Why do people take unnecessary risks on a bike to run from the cops? Just drive casually while lane splitting. I had a friend who just pretended the cops weren't behind him when he was doing wheelies and speeding ahead on a straight, and when they cut him off in a corner he stopped his bike. When they arrested him he said, "Duur, my mirrors flop around when I do wheelies. I didn't know he was behind me." and they let him off with a speeding ticket. A few times I heard a *bloop bloop* behind me. Without looking back I siphoned casually between cars like I didn't know he was there. But it was a motorcycle cop one time and when I checked my mirror after still hearing him behind me I got pulled over and got a warning for having no plate.

I managed to snap a couple pictures of the new Super Duke in Tel Aviv before the KTM rep started yelling for security and I had to beat it. I like the new color scheme. https://wi.somethingawful.com/c7/c76057537554c82a92cab7cb3dca65c902e40c6c.jpg edit: VVVV If I'm remembering right it said "For your easier life" but I wish I had gotten the whole thing in the frame. ought ten fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Jul 27, 2010 |

An rear end in a top hat I know got off a 4000 dollar (AUD) fine and the loss of his license because the cop wrote the time on the ticket down incorrectly.

Hey guys, don't over-torque your sprocket bolts. This KTM rider found out why on the back straight at Barber. Lucky son-of-a-bitch didn't even go down.
