The only skid marks I have are the one in my boxers after I spun up the rear tire on a slippy dividing line the other day.

Buy a fuckton of new boxer shorts and take a trip to lovely Copenhagen. Half of the city streets are covered with steel plates because of the expansion of the city metro and various other poo poo. It's also raining. Lots of fun. Wear gear.

I slid both wheels on the Bandit yesterday while out for a ride. I just drifted gracefully sideways in a corner on some dirt. It was beautiful and absolutely terrifying at the same time!

Drew a bike while bored at work today. Pencil first then inked. It's some electric superbike with active aerodynamics since I'm obsessed with bikes with active aerodynamics.  I'm a childish person and want air brakes on my superbikes already, goddammit.

My bike has an air brake, it's called sitting up.  Although I would love an air brake that had immense drag, and activated when you grabbed the front lever.

Obviously no, I only rip open my trenchcoat and expose my naked emoticon-like body on standards, tourers and the occasional dual sport thumper. And even then only at the meager speeds my small penis will allow.

Jack the Smack posted:Are you talking about sport bikes? Cause you'd go flying like batman. Plucked him right off the bike. Fortunately, he was wearing good gear, and didn't slide on the pavement for long. He got up, dusted himself off, and looked around for the bike. No sign. He looked around for a bit, then walked back to his buddy's house and they jumped in the guy's truck and went looking. Still no sign. They drove back and forth for about an hour when they spotted a little track that led to a small divot in the berm that builds up on the side of the road at a spot where the road bends left... The bike apparently launched itself off that berm, and turned itself into an approximation of a 50 yard long 'debris field'. They figured that the throttle closed in top gear, and the bike idled along at triple digit speeds for 4 miles before the road turned, because the guy didn't disturb the bike much when he came off it.

The dorsoduro I'll be doing the valves on this weekend runs gear driven cams. I hope we don't have to adjust them.

I thought the whole idea was, if you're a sportbiker, you just keep it on an elbow until you wear down the part that's still good. He's probably got another 800 miles on the edge.
