I really want to know why taking that line looked so good from the bottom.

My two loves, Motocross and flat water freestyle. Guy filming should have kept the camera on those XFS's just a tad longer.

Went sidecar racing again at Loudon Classic. Never been to a modern bike race before. Was loving packed. Full of drunk gixxer punks making noise Saturday night. I like the retirees in the vintage club better. But anyway, some pics:

Fast bikes going fast



All the gixxers


F1 sidecars. They work nothing like our vintage sidecars. They're crazy.




A range of fine Italian machinery


We didn't crash this time, so no new exciting pics. But on the way out, in the track parking lot, a group of stoned dudes were like "whoa look a sidecar dude stop our bitches wanna hop on your sidecar!!" Bitches love sidecars.

Holy poo poo that was *you*? Isn't that the sidecar rig that everyone said was going to explode and kill you the first time out? I would have taken a closer look when you stopped to let the girls snap a pic. BTW if you didn't guess, those girls and guys were the "drunk gixxer punks" doing burnouts all night. But I mean, come on it's bike week :)

In that situation it wouldn't really matter, but I assume he wasn't just walking the bike around on a burnout all day long. I just don't see the point in putting a helmet on at all if you're not going to buckle the strap.

I guess they do that just because it's the most convenient way to point it, with the engine in the back.

Yeah and we haven't had a single incident yet due to weld integrity. On the other hand, several other sidecars have lost parts, cracked front ends, and over last weekend, broke an engine cradle. And all of them are finishing way ahead of us. So I guess the takeaway is, we need to weld even shittier welds! I'll keep CA posted on that.

Sup dude. Your group was way too small to be credited with all the noise the night before. It was like half of the infield partying. A lot of them were the Legends car guys too, I think.

It pissed me off, frankly, because at our vintage events, with like 1/10th the number of people, almost all mild-mannered old guys, we're told basically no alcohol in the infield ever, and we get reprimanded for even starting a bike before like 7am just to warm it up. But here are all these idiots bouncing off rev limiters at midnight and blasting music and getting drunk and pissing in the RV parking lot. Is that the way it works, you make a bigger event and all the rules go out the window? Just bring a few Harleys and frat boys and those guys are trusted implicitly? Come on.

Video games are for children. Dr. Who, Sherlock and Community need to be canceled. Firefly sucked.

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 ?

That's nice but a ZRX without high bars is just wrong.


Also ZRX endurance racer.

I have a real hard on for muscle bikes, they're the ideal street bike. Comfy, so much powa and enough suspension to get around.

I wish they would bring the CB1300 over to the US cause I would buy the gently caress out of it.



Even the wacky new Vmax is kinda hot even though it's lost it's charm.

It's one of those things where you think "isn't that a stock one?" before you realize some artistic genius has made the physical embodiment of the idea the stock one was meant to conjure up.

Exactly. I haven't seen any concept drawings of the ZRX but I bet it looked a lot like that.

It helps somewhat that the stock 'rex engine almost looks like a mock-up model anyway, it's so smooth and clean. Very pretty motor.

It's funny how wolves appear to do this just like domesticated dogs do. I still don't understand what they hope to achieve or how they even perceive a bike. There's no real analogue in nature; you would assume a dog/wolf would be best served NOT chasing after a huge, noisy, fast-moving animal.

But this has to be the instinct that is triggered, chasing a big beast like a moose or a bison or whatever. Wolves have great endurance and one strategy is to chase the prey until it collapses with fatigue. I'm not saying the wolf has made a clever and rational decision here though. I guess airbrushed wolves and full moons on the panniers can be an explanation here.
