Spent at least an hour on this site when I should've been in bed. Spectacular photography.



















He doesn't shoot on crazy expensive gear, either. This one was done with a point-n-shoot.




I also had no idea people drag raced pocket bikes(scooter engines, judging by the drivetrain?).




Literally thousands more where that came from.

Is that the same tank on the CB900F too? Looks like that to me.

Weird. The front disc is masquerading as a drum brake, and it looks like they put a shovelhead engine in backwards for some reason?

Edit: internet says ironhead, but I don't think I've never seen one like that before.

Rear shock from a Chinese knock-off full suspension mountain bike. For handling.

My friend just posted this up on FB, not his bike though. Wonderful Singapore :bang:

In other news, I was at Sepang on saturday. The new rearsets and reverse shift cleared up the problem with the false neutrals, but the bike is now jumping out of third. Looks like i'm going to be putting in a warranty claim for a new gearbox in the future (my current mech is in talks with the MV agent to become the authorised service centre for them). Also switched back to a 190 rear from the previous 200, i prefer the 190 as it makes the bike easier to turn.

I was pretty much quickest in the beginner group now that i'm more comfortable on the bike so i'll probably register myself in the inters for the next trackday.

If it's an ironhead, it's nowhere near stock. Trans should be connected in the same case on an ironhead, and the front exhaust pipe is on the wrong side.

Yah it's a ironhead. They cut the transmission off and split the rocker boxes. As far as the exhaust exiting on the wrong side in the front, that's just how they decided to run it.

Pictures are from a little park at the end of the road.

I'm saying the exhaust port on the front head is on the wrong side of the bike. Stock ironhead:

So I was going through a bunch of my motorcycle videos for shits and giggles and I noticed something in a video that I had no idea happened around me. Car disintegrates a piece of drywall going 60-70mph.

Sorry about the trippy effects, I think it was Youtubes auto stabilize bullshit.

270 is a dangerous road. Glad I don't have to ride it often. And glad it wasn't your face disintegrating that drywall.

That thing is awesome. the movie batpod was retarded in the last one, the spinny thing in TDKR was jarring enough to me that i stopped paying attention in the cinema for a minute while i reflected on how stupid it was.

For Euro-goons I'm sure this is common place, but I don't see many Bonneville (or anything beside a Harley or a Ninja) 'round these parts. Saw this gem outside my favorite bar:





I REALLY love Triumphs. I have an awkward hard-on for cafe bikes, but I would love to buy a new Triumph and keep the thing bone stock: they just look so good! When the time come I think it's going to boil down between a Bonnie or a Scrambler. Love those bikes. :3:

Everything you like is bad, everything I like is good and cool. I've had sex. I've stuck my big rod into a babe and it was good. There's proof I've had sex, where's yours ?
