Would legit rather have one of these than an H2R.

That looks like an R1 swing-arm and 90's fireblade heads, I think? Or are they early R1 heads? The timing chain arrangement screams honda.

Yeah I would accept either that or an H2R.

They make the engine using two older R1 blocks fused together. Apparently they have a partnership with Yamaha?

That sounds like it's revving hella high, what's the redline? Is it higher than the 9000 of the new BMW i6? Cause you could put some loud pipes on that too and sound just as good but also have integrated GPS and heated seats. Just sayin.

Buy a cheap dirt bike on craigslist, good armor and boots, and then go huck it down some trails/dunes/abandoned pit mines. Or, much like street bikes, find a dirt riding school.

I started riding enduro bikes when I was 32. It is the funnest thing in the world, even on a complete poo poo pile. I haven't been gravely injured yet.

But yeah I agree, where were my parents on this poo poo? My wife and I have vowed to at least offer exposure to the sport. One of the kids on my flag football team's parents take him and his brother out on dirt bikes. Makes me green with envy, and the kid is 10.

Yeah, somewhere in the north of Sweden, or possibly Norway. When he takes off again near the end of the movie there's a rock with a sign on it but it's too blurry to see. The license plate on the bike is Swedish though.

edit: According to youtube comments (grain of salt etc) it's Stadlandet in Norway

edit2: Yep, it is:

I've been to that bay at the end of the twisty road at 0:38! It's called Hoddevik. Not on a bike, went there by boat. My gf got a surfing class for her 30th and I tagged along. Almost got up on the board once! Very fun.

The forest shots might be in Sweden or elsewhere in Norway. There are not many trees around Hoddevik, it's a pretty bare and windswept place. Still, you should definitely go there.

They didn't let you out on a day like that did they? :ohdear:

Surfing is awesome though. Get a 5/4 wetsuit with gloves and boots and you can easily surf down to snowing and upper 30s water temps.

Also, obviously, good job husky.

It was in September, and it's straight out into the North Sea so it was not comfortable to walk around in a t-shirt. But the waves were newbie friendly and with the (4 or 5 mm) wet suit and the physical activity, I experienced sweating underwater for the first time.

Yeah, considering the...surprisingly intimate feelings people (men) seem to develop toward (women's) feet, I could see it being viewed as somewhat creepy.

I interpreted it as more, "Hey, don't stick your feet out of the window; if there is a crash you could get maimed."

Edit: he did get real close to that car, tho. Assuming the driver is paying attention and won't do a quick lanechange-while-texting is taking a significant risk at the best of times.

More a personal space thing, I think. Manhandling someone in order to give unsolicited advice about something that's not going to hurt anyone but them is kinda super loving weird.

Meh, that's happened to me before. We get backed up traffic everywhere but the HOV lane so you can plug along at 50-60 while the lane next to you is stopped. People pull into that from a stop.
