Dual sport helmet, sport touring bike with bags, and a track suit just looks so awesomely wacky to me.

He wears those glasses because an old lady told him he "looked like a queer" while sporting them once. Now he refers to them as queer goggles.


The glasses are great, the riding position, not so much. Knee out and rear end off the seat, but shoulders way back over the tank?

You're all right! (reservoir socks)

quote:

What are they for?
Traps and absorbs brake fluid that's vented from the reservoir
Prevents brake fluid from getting on your helmet and/or your motorcycle, damaging paint and corroding metals
A number of race tracks ask racers to cover their reservoirs as they also assist in containing any brake fluid that may be spilled onto the track in the event of an unfortunate accident
Keeps direct sunlight off of the brake and clutch reservoirs
Prevents break down and discoloration of your brake fluid and plastic reservoirs caused by suns damaging UV rays

I can't remember his justification but I think it was something with how the handlebars felt really weird to him. I'll ask him what's up because his form is pretty good from what I've seen on his RC51

His name is Adam. We both worked at Starbucks together and he was probably the only reason I came into work every day as you can imagine

Perhaps it's on sandy soil and so it wouldn't take well to grading? Or if it did, it would disrupt the natural environment? Just guessing.

Pretty sure that's the last mile of Highway 42 in Door County, Wisconsin (right at the tip by Washington Island).

Supposedly the road path was set by a famous landscape architect (Jens Jensen) in the 30's to enhance the scenic beauty of the area. I think he did a good job, it's pretty cool to drive that little section of road... and everyone who is going to the Washington Island ferry will drive through there.

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.

People don't seem to realize that the reason cars aren't terrifying when on a motorcycle is because before we even start to ride, we are meticulously searching our bike for birds and poisonous spiders. Really, drivers are the least of our worries

Still not entirely sure how it happened, but the helmet was clipped to the kawi because they were parked.

Also, that is THE most expensive exhaust you can get for the DRZ, and theres an identical one crushed under the left side of the bike :smith:
