Glad to see I'm not the only one that crashes a ton on dirtbikes. How the heck are you supposed to do those near vertical walls? Seems like you either run out of gas at the top and fall backwards or have too much speed and end up launching too high and falling backwards.

Dogs love sticking their heads out of car windows or riding in the back of utes with their heads in the wind so I can't imagine it's too much worse.

My buddy's ATK broke both axles today. The front was fatigued pretty bad, we couldn't see much of the rear, just a missing bolt head.

So stylish wearing his new #1. I thought 99 was cool but I'm sure the team and sponsors like seeing the 1, plus you can artistically make a JL. I always liked that Rossi kept his number, even tho he went on to win another 4 or 20 times.

It's pretty funny that their handlebars are setup so the bike is only comfortable when in a 55 degree left lean.

I don't think there's enough protective gear I could wear to get me riding in rush hour in Dublin, those red light runner's scared the poo poo out of me and that idiot that crossed the lane to reverse park, I don't normally get road rage but i would have torn him another one :argh:

That one was the worst, although those ignorant cyclists were pretty bad too, didn't even look and could easily be a red splat in the road.

Funny enough, I have driven a few Km around Europe and I feel a bit scared about driving in the US, which I only know from a brief vacation and some internet videos. Maybe we're all just exaggerating and being big babys here, don't you think?

Fellow goon Cypher and myself just got back from biking in northern Vietnam. Hanoi is crazy and makes the Dublin video seem like nothing. The difference is that the speed is likely slower and most people drive scooters in Vietnam. It's seriously unnerving at first.

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.

Vermont is just fine. I've done some long bike trips and the key is avoiding cities. Hardly ever see stupid poo poo like that. For some reason a lot of people think the only places in the world worth going to are urban centers. The opposite is true if you ask me. gently caress Dublin, London and Paris, I fully intend to ship my old bike over to europe some day for a couple months and I'm not going anywhere near the cities.

Most drivers in BC are pretty good, especially in the Okanagan area (Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton). I don't remember getting cut off once last year. Just don't spend too much time in Vancouver area, especially Richmond. Vancouver itself is alright but still a lot of lovely drivers there. I almost got in two accidents in two days in my truck last weekend..

There was a turbo zrx up on barf awhile back for 3200$. Wish I had had the money to buy it. :sigh:

Or are you implying it's about time you spiced up your 12 a bit? :neckbeard:

To be honest I will have to go to Paris, since my bike is 55 years old and German, so I can get a picture of me riding through the Arc de Triomphe in a glorious recreation of the events of 1940.

I'm hoping to spice the bandit up with some flatslide carbs, but no turbo.
