This is, by far, his best video. It gives bikers the perfect excuse to rage at car drivers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbdJxFjRe6E Also, am I the only one who's mentally challenged only and just figured out why he's called 'rnickymouse'? For some reason this relevation of retardation came to me in the shower. I had always thought that 'R Nicky Mouse' was a really stupid name to use, until I realised that the 'r' and 'n' almost look like an 'm'.... which would make MickeyMouse Mind=blown

It really seems like having guys out there taking pictures and videotaping is a recipe for people doing stupid poo poo. I'm not one to say you should make everything illegal, but I'm a bit surprised the police put up with those guys being there. It's probably only a matter of time until someone gets really hurt there.

Nothing feels better than knowing your cheap-rear end bike is faster than just about any car you could meet at the lights. "Oh, is that a new GTI/335i/S4/Boxster/whatever? How much was it? Why, isn't that just a precious little thing?  "I'm a total dick, I keep pace with them the first couple of seconds before pulling away from them. I just love the dead-serious look most of those young self-absorbed douchebags have on their faces before they get wiped out by a completely non-sporty bike that's almost as old as they are with big-rear end grandpa mirrors and everything.

I was mainly talking about other bikes but that works too. Once on my 636 I caught up to a S1000R around an off-ramp that passed me doing 100mph+ on the parkway. Funny thing is I was riding normally, guy just parked it when the road stopped being straight. Bikes are all rider. Content: Like this guy for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyxuE_e_CiY

So long good old K75 friend, you were good the last 1500 miles and 3 months I rode you. Hopefully the new owner will put plenty of miles on you: Hello there new black beast of beauty and fury!  2002 K1200RS, 70000 miles, 2900$ with the hard locking saddlebags and givi trunk in the rear. Quite a different animal from my old K75, I rode it 90 miles home last night, it's ridiculously fast, comfortable, and quiet. Has cruise control, heated grips, ABS. Taking me some time getting used to the weight (over 600lbs) but it's really not to bad at all, quite a bit of vibration at idle but once you're moving the weight disappears and it's buttery smooth, did I mention ridiculously fast? It accelerates like my 636 but has the riding position of my GS500, amazing. I think I got a pretty sweet deal on it, previous owner had all/most of the past dealer service records. 6 speed transmission is light years ahead of my old K bike and is just as good as any Japanese transmission i've used so far.    Left saddlebag is hilariously small because it's shaped to go around the exhaust like that, can fit a decent amount of clothes though.      Fully adjustable rear shock:  Handy pre-load adjuster knob:  Picture of Tele-lever front suspension and steering damper, the telelever front basically is a swingarm connected to the forks and frame with the shock absorber instead of traditional forks with springs in them. Very little dive under braking, but considerable loss of feel while riding, the bike handles well overall you just have to get used to it and trust ze German engineering. :3

If you're looking to add some navigation, the TomTom Urban Rider seems like a very good deal. Don't know much about it though. Great looking bike!

Holy hell, it's like Husqvarna wants a piece of the Diavel market. V3 is a pretty unqiue config, I wonder if they have one actually running. According to Wikipedia, only Honda has done V3s in prototype racers. But yeah, Husqvarna branching out would be excellent. Comfy seats and 5000 mile service intervals please.

Makes me sad that they called Husqvarna Italian, but they're right I guess since they are built in italy (although bmw apparently owns them these days). And Husaberg got bought by KTM.

Weren't Husaberg's unreliable before KTM bought them? Something about no oil pump and just relied on the cam chain slinging the oil to the topend? Welp that had nothing to do with KTM apparently... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husaberg#Reliability Bondematt fucked around with this message at 01:49 on May 8, 2011 |

No poo poo, I took it super easy on a ride yesterday after the rear stepped out in some gravel despite me doing everything I could to prevent it, and it was like that everywhere. He's taking dirty dusty gravelly roads at speed and not caring, or maybe sticking a leg out. I'm impressed. Edit: Also from what's left of my high school French they're not saying much special, just introducing the places and describing them a bit in a show host kind of way.

I like when I am humbled by a car - I, ahem, kept pace with a Mustang a few weeks back on the highway. It looked bone stock other than slicks and skinnies, we pulled over and talked and it was a very heavily modded 4.6 with a large turbo. He was out doing a shakedown on low boost but it was probably good for a mid 9 when running high boost. Also, I know 'someone' with a 710hp 997 Turbo. That car is a beast.
