For $800 you're lucky the brakes aren't a wooden stick you press against the tire. Also it supposedly has a top speed of 70MPH. I'd love to have a bike that I could absolutely trash and not give a poo poo about because gently caress it, a brand new one is less than a grand.

That's actually pretty cool looking, but the gold chain/black kickstand/black calipers sees a little off/lazy.

One other big rear end Mach 3 aircraft had them, and it was a lot bigger than the SR71/A12 Valkyrie http://www.ninfinger.org/models/vault2008/xb70%20landing%20gear/XB70%20MLG%20tires.jpg

Anyone want to speculate on what made him go down exactly? Looked like he had a level of control over his, you must admit, fairly sick burnout up until the front end just washed out for reasons I can't quite see.

I think someone mentioned somewhere that there's a bit of a bump in the road along the motorway where he lost it.

What boggles me most is that this is a very busy stretch of I-270 just easy of the STL airport. I drive it several times a year. Dozens of these idiots just stopped in the center of the road after a guy went down in the median. What a bunch of idiots.

It was some kind of huge stuntaz ride and they made a rolling roadblock across the whole highway, so nobody was getting through anyway. Here's more of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFiOITXtRVM Eventually the police made their own roadblock, and there's a video that I can't find right now of the stuntaz acting like a bunch of jackasses and skittering all over the place "evading" the cops. VVVV are those really tulips? you got strange ones out there Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 04:41 on May 23, 2012 |

America, land of the perfectly straight road, no way you could do that on Irish roads I doubt there's a mile of road in this country that doesn't have some sort of a bend in it. edit, some pictures from last night, we went to liberate the Akrapovic system from the fireblade in these pictures before the local streetfighterer's butchered it. Swapped it for the spurious stainless system + ART can on my mates blade, although somehow we managed not to take any pics after we were finished.  echomadman fucked around with this message at 19:59 on May 23, 2012 |

slidebite posted:If the riding game challenge was your bike with a wild ruminant you could have so had it.  Altho I do see a rope around its neck so it may not be completely wild. This picture looks completely normal for the midwest where I grew up (OK), but not something I expected to find on a Caribbean island (St Thomas). And for content, this was taken 1/4 mile down the road from the cow.  Love the 2-stroke inspired heat shield.
