Thank god, Wes Siler was such a oval office on that show.

I'm months late with this, but since it's about riding videos, I'll ask in here --
what was Wes Siler's problem? I only saw him in the review of the electric bike, where he bitched and moaned about how the bike was unacceptably slow to the point of being dangerous, and how his editor in chief must have a vendetta for making him ride it.

He over-schticked the schtick. In that review he says he's going to run it out of electricity, then complains that it runs out of electricity.

I'm not a huge fan of Wes Siler but I really like his blog, he does a good job on it. And as long as he keeps Jamie Robinson as his adorably british front-of-the-camera guy for Rideapart I'll be happy.

Holy poo poo. If they can find some way of dropping that into a Clubman frame I might have to start looking at selling body parts to get one.

I still think Wes is less of a prick on camera than he is in written words on his blog.

He's probably like 13 years old.

e: also, who's the first to identify the bike, or the bike that it's a Chinese knock-off of? Looks like a small single (unsurprising). Don't see any expansion chambers so it's probably a 4t. When I was living in China I saw a lot of "Suznik"s that looked pretty similar.

Hard to tell since it's been heavily modified for stunting. CBR600RR perhaps, based on the swingarm and exhaust?

The logo on the tank is for http://www.stuntbums.com/ and I dug around on the site for a bit but I couldn't find the image there.

It looks like a generic Chinese knockoff to me too but there's something vaguely wrong with it. That sort of upright engine is a really dated feature but the tank and tail unit look modern. The drum brakes say old but the three-spoke wheels not so much.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. 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.

I had to look up more on it. Rocket Garage calls it the Buell Manx.

Kind of weird to slap norton stickers on a buell, imo. It's like putting bentley badges on a chrysler.
