I can admire anything that's had a lot of talented work put into it, regardless of the ultimate effect. Like I said earlier -- that's not a bike I would choose to own, but clearly whoever made it put a lot of love into it (or paid someone else to do so).

I'm too busy staring at the derp de derp.  I went to a few motorcycle shops to buy a new helmet. My son (and the salesman) tried to talk me into a 2010 R1. I almost bought it...

I've never seen a bike I wouldn't ride. Hell I've never seen a vehicle I wouldn't drive/ride/fly. My only issue is I'm not into bling AT ALL on my stuff. All my poo poo is matte black because I ride/drive like a jackass and wreck most everything I own. For content, my beat to hell Matte black truck and my black Durz covered in mud!

You can compare me to Spicoli any day, I consider that a compliment bra. The R1 was the inspiration for my matte black love, I can't stand to see something I've poured that much time and energy into get shredded like that. I've got about 12 wrecks under my belt off the track now and paint is expensive. *note: not all wrecks were on bikes, or on land...

hehe, tell that to my fried who just melted his Ducati's wiring harness. Apparently they don't like rain, none of the connections are sealed, everything is crimped and unprotected and there's no harness loom or wrap. Well, unless you consider glass tape that is wrapped in 1" spirals "protection"  That's just the latest in a string of GnarlyCharlie4u fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Mar 25, 2012 |

Just going over some texas motorcycle laws and passenger minimum age is 5 years old, yet you have to be over 18 years old to ride in the bed of a truck... Seems like a bad idea, much like this.http://i.imgur.com/6jWAa.gif

It's pretty normal to end up with a stack of motorcycle clothing, isn't it? So far I've got my Triumph jacket, my cruiser jacket, my perforated jacket for summer, my "adventure" jacket, leather pants, textile riding pants, textile riding pants for the "adventure" jacket, my good helmet, my old helmet, my brother's old helmet, my cheapy "cafe racer" helmet.... I need to start slimming down my collection I think.

2ndclasscitizen posted:Spotted this bad boy this morning: Really digging this. Looks like it's been done by someone who values the ride more than all out aesthetic (good tyres, brakes, front end), but it has some nice styling too. Needs a nice pair of Ohlins on the back to finish it though, those old rear shocks can't be doing it any favours.

Probably running a CDI and a cap. The headlight attachments are scary though.

A new Triumph Bonneville. Probably repainted the tank after the crash that scraped the exhaust and case.

When a car is stopped in the middle of an intersection like that you should always be slowing to check for what they stopped for. They might be making a left, there might be something in the road, they might be lost and about to cut into your lane.

People are so unpredictable in general, a city just adds more variables and chances for destruction. Adding speed to the mix is a perfect recipe for disaster and not to mention what's the point of having a bitchin bike if you can't cruise and enjoy the stares...

ReggieCelsius posted:but for me personally an overpriced, technologically inferior, unreliable and heavy show pony is at the bottom of the list. Oh I suppose they look nice and get a lot of attention if that is what you are chasing in a motorcycle. Nobody cares about your stupid opinion. If you don't like Harleys / cruisers, ignore them or post somewhere else.
