I miss my x99 fiercely and can't wait to adopt another into the permanent collection. The most uncomfortable production bike of all time, but on song on a racetrack, nothing could matter less.

 Who's the bigger badass? They both have kickass hair and moustaches. Biker guy has killer leathers, motorcycle, and a hawk/falcon, but velvet shirt guy has an AK47 (with a loving bayonet and scope) and a babe on his arm. Also, sunglasses. Too tough to call.

hot sauce posted:https://www.instagram.com/p/BI3W5OBBkoS/?taken-by=bikelifekings   "If broken bones make you squeamish" is not clear enough to warn people. That's a compound fracture with the tibia sticking clean out of the skin. She'll need years to fully recover from that, if she ever does. If I hadn't already bought my nice Dainese boots with the ankle support system, that would have sold me on them instantly. 1. don't run red lights 2. don't run red lights with a passenger on the back 3. don't run red lights with a passenger on the back when both of you are wearing sneakers you loving moron

I've had a bunch of biek footage for literal years that I've never been able to think of a way to actually use. Ever since my crash in January and the subsequent brain damage, I've been doing a lot of soul searching and had an idea for a project the other night. This means a lot to me, and I'm super excited, so I threw together a super quick, "I haven't actually started working on this yet" sketch demo because I thought others may appreciate the ideal. Here's zee link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUWgb09SSGY It probably doesn't mean as much to others as it does to me, but I'd love to know if it resonates with yous guys at all.

I think people ride for a lot of different reasons. Me, I've never done a track day, so that doesn't resonate with me. But put in some footage from out in the mountains, swooping up a deserted, misty canyon road just after sunrise, and I'm right there with you.

-Inu- posted:edit: I believe we had an entire thread dedicated to this question at one point in time. I ride because it's just fun. Not the best answer but that's my #1 reason. Hipster answer: I ride because it's one of the few activities that forces me to be present mentally and not play with my phone or w/e.

This is from 2 gopros; I think we had 6 gopros total just from that one day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbaNoneKzpE&t=51s I ride because I love the idea that one wrong move and you're DEAD. DEADDDD. Also I like to visit new places and see amazing views, you feel so free on a bike. There is a point when I'm riding where it feels like the bike has melted away and become a part of my body. I enter an almost euphoric state and all my worries dissolve; the only thing that matters is what's ahead. During this time it feels like I could go anywhere my heart desires.

I ride because it's my only form of transportation  But beyond that, it's because there's a lot to see and it's a hell of a lot more fun to do it on a motorcycle than to ride a bus or take a taxi.

Yupppp. I live in Minnesota and almost all my riding is long straight hilly farm roads. There is a certain something about bombing along on a dry bright 80 degree day. The clouds fluffed against a cerulean backdrop. There is a warming breath on your shoulders and head from the radiance of the sun and a cool constant breeze from the speed. You come up over a hill and dip down into a deep narrow valley. The property line between two farms is flanked by trees on either side. As you hit the bottom of the dip your arms chill as the cold air, untouched by the beating sun, sweeps through your jacket. The air tastes different, thick, moist, and clings to your lungs. You hold your breath as you're pushed into your seat on the way up the other side. You apply more throttle and feel the bike squat, like a cat about to pounce. As you hit the top and the suspension stretches you exhale the cold pine air. It's amazing going from one world to another so quickly.

TheFonz posted:Yupppp. You see a nearby Chipotle. As you reminisce about the burrito you had last week you fail to notice a large pothole getting closer and closer. You wake up on the ground. You look down and see your leg is split open like an overcooked hotpocket. Your hands, once covered in Dorito dust, are now covered in tiny rocks and blackened from the asphalt. On the road your fresh blood glistens like a spilled bottle of Mountain Dew: Code Red. A man walks up to you and asks if you're okay. "Do you have stairs in your house?" you stammer. The man thinks for a moment. "I'm protected" You knew you were among friends. You look at your bike. What was a proud Buell is now a dropped plate of fajitas laying on the cold concrete floor of your parents basement. You jolt from the nightmare gasping "ATGATT!". You run over to your minifridge fearing the worst. As you open the door you breath a sigh of relief. The leftover fajita's your mom made for you are still packed neatly in the back of the fridge where you left them.
