I want to know how many times he had to slam the front down at mach3 while doing bad wheelies to make that happen.

Or what kind of nasty crash damage it had that he was ignoring.

I think the conventional wisdom was that it was some sort of stunt riding training thing, so it was certainly abused and neglected to the max.

I love the long sad music part where a woman describes the horrific damage she took from a fairly mundane down. It's like a game of bingo to find all the bits of gear she clearly wasn't wearing. Including gloves. They are pretty proud of being a squid group like every other squid group.

Edit: I'm not gonna lie, I'd probably rock that painted up canam, which I cannot find a picture of for the life of me.

If I was going to get a trike I'd want something that actually leans instead of merely slouching:

I really want to play around on one to see how it handles at the edge. Under normal riding conditions it should behave identically to a bike due to the way the front wheels are linked to the frame, but I want to feel what happens when you hit the hard 45 degree bank limit mid-turn.

Presumably you'd feel your inside wheel lifting up, but due to the stability of three contact points you'd be free to hang much further off the bike without worrying about overdoing it and lowsiding. Kinda like a one-man sidecar racer.

That leaning mechanism is bottoming out at and messing with his turning ability. Looks pretty dangerous.

A bagger would also be dangerous if you blithely attempted to throw it into a +50 degree lean in defiance of reality.

I'm sure you could fit some dampers/cushions so it wouldn't jump when hitting the end stops. Either way it looks more fun than a spyder.

It's true that having the wheels sticking so far out to the sides would make it much easier to hit mailboxes.

Oxymoron. Quads are exclusively for dumb cunts who like to loop and crush themselves, and farmers (who also often loop and crush themselves).

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.

Doesn't look like it. With that exhaust placement it'd have to be a beaky 1000 from last year or newer, inexplicably running an aftermarket can that looks suspiciously identical to the giant hideous chrome cylinders suzuki used to jam on all their sport bikes.

Also I don't think any of the vstroms have painted bodywork that far back on the tail, they all seem to come with a rack as stock that occupies that space and only black plastic beneath if you moved it. (watch me be wrong now)

He's pretty comfortable around the bike. Runs in front or behind If I ride it around. Just getting him up there with me with treats. I haven't decided if I'm going to get him comfortable in my lap, get a baby carrier, or figure out a way to mount a box on the rear like I've seen some people do

The answer is always a sidecar and a pair of doggie-goggles!
