Or to tease the "omg my blinker is going at the same rate as that guy's!" guy, which is me 100%. I always hope that some day I'll be spot on with someone else

I always get excited when my bike is shaking in time with somebody's blinkers... it never does it in time with my own!

I think he means why the Scranton Law Firm posted the video. The other vid on the account shows that Chris Scranton also rides on the track and appears to sponsor at least one rider - maybe the club rider was also sponsored. E: Just noticed Scranton rides on the track in Sedici leathers

Does it come fully assembled at that $18,999 price point, or do they just ship you the parts? I don't think I've ever seen a used one for less than $20k. Fake edit: a few on my local CL going for 12K-18K, and the cheap ones all have some variety of ape hangers

I like the look of the CTX700N. The faired version is ugly, though. Too bad it's chain drive. I want belt or shaft for my next bike.

 What better way to show your passive-aggressiveness to the semi-stereotypical Harley owner than with this sticker? (He is actually a nice guy, but his "Holy loving poo poo  " reaction to the fact that my bike has 54k miles was hilarious)

I thought "potato-potato-potato" was just the onomatopoeia for HD engines at idle? A friend of mine used to ride an old 80s 883 and made a few "potato" comments about it.

Yeah, I think that's all it is; the fact that most of them have the same HP-displacement ratio as a potato is incidental

You could extend that stereotype to 90% of the motorcycling community in the US. It just makes non-Harley weekend riders feel better about their 1000 miles and 5 months of winter storage a year.

Off the top of my head: FJR; Vulcan 900; various HDs; CX500; Sabre; Goldwing; some kind of Victory; Vstar 650. The bike, other than mine, that is parked out there year round is a Yamaha Tmax.

Even the loudest sport bike exhausts don't compare to the awful poo poo that is Harley straight pipes. I live on Highway 9 so I hear about 100 bikes a day or more and the only ones that drive me bonkers and ultimately drown out windows-closed conversation are straight pipes. edit: content!     Dude normally does bike shots but I saw these on his Facebook and thought they were pretty great.

Group riding the mountains outside of Borrego Springs. I was the sweeper for this portion. We got split into two groups. Towards the end I leave the tail pack and catch the lead pack. Seconds later the guys behind me caught up and took lead again. I pick up the pace a bit around 7:20. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qv8wUo8ib4

That reminds me, I wonder what happened to the bomber bike. A bike built around a german WW2 era 9 cylinder radial engine. Last I heard they were trying to fab a custom transmission for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNndKYvwYck&t=390s  Hydraulic transmission, front wheel drive. Well then. Still no videos of it actually moving under its own power though. I imagine the torque steer must be absurd. Also that subframe looks like it's going to snap clean off at soon as someone sits on it.

I don't get why he didn't just have it a rear engined rear wheel drive bike. Too many power wheelies maybe? Or too little?

Because the power is transmitted out of the front of the engine?

Ran our sidecar the first time on Monday. Narrowly missed a LeMons race. If I'd known it was there I might have come down earlier to check it out. Stayed up til 1am making our bikes tech inspectable. loving freezing the whole time. I don't like camping but camping inside a racetrack is p cool.  The stable. Two racebikes and the best moped ever made.  Brand new dustbin fairing with custom made hella pro NACA ducts.   And here we have the brand new dustbin fairing with week old paint after the practice runs.  Blew turn 10, downhill fairly fast right hander, swiped a tire wall and both of us got thrown off the bike. I got a ride in an ambulance but the end result was just minor bruises for both of us. We weren't going that fast when we hit, I think. But it ran fine without the front fairing so we raced anyway.  Apparently at some point there was a crash in another race whereafter a spectator jumped the fence and ran out on the track. I didn't see it, but the track crew freaked the gently caress out and the race organizers freaked the gently caress out and called a surprise riders meeting and yelled at everyone.  One crappy unzoomed pic of the sexiest turn. Hairpin right hand. It's actually one of the easiest turns to do, as far as I can tell, because you get a long straight and plenty of time to set up for it as you're coming into it.  Then on the way back home riding in the van, every time we did a right turn I kept thinking "oh poo poo we're going to flip over because I'm not leaned out enough." I know you'll all be surprised to hear that none of our welds  cracked the entire time. One guy cracked his frontend in like 4 places. Re-welded it between races and then he won. He does that about every time, I hear. Blows an engine, replaces pistons and jugs, and wins an hour later.
