I see them all the time in the mid atlantic. Probably thanks to the combo of bowled turns and harley riders.

 Beauty shot of the Ninja EX300 before it gets sold/traded-in for an EX650.

They've had to change the speed limits on particularly bad stretches of road. Kind of a good thing, but who the gently caress reads these and thinks "Oh, I better be more careful!"

You can tell a professional took this picture because the motorcycle is barely in it and you just get a beautiful vista of grey blah.

I'm mostly jealous that there are places on earth where you're allowed to take a vehicle on the beach. I live near a bajillion miles of Lake Michigan coastline and I don't believe there is anywhere in Wisconsin at least where you can get on the beach on anything but your feet.

The bike is also too close to the edge of the frame. It creates visual tension.

 Went on a trip to France on the 701, due to my extremely muscular rear end a 600km day on the stock seat went just fine. Quite some people oogling the bike gave me poo poo for running PR4s on the bike but hey, thanks to those I can actually use it for more than a blast around the town in fair weather. In the mountains the bike is just so god drat awesome. Sounds like a jack hammer on steroids when you cane it up a pass, if the speed's a bit hot just lightly brush the front brake to slow down.

Yet another picture where the 701 looks tiny. I think it's all the white (and camo in your case). It just looks low and small. So good to see you taking it out there, and so jealous that you can just "take a trip to france" on your bike. What's the flack you get for PR4's? PR3's on my 690 are just the best, even off road, and have lasted me over 8k of flogging/highways/wheelies/offroad before needing replacement.

I think it's people that think they know what's up recognizing that they're not the slick-like supermoto tires you usually see. But they haven't let me down even keeping up with bikes on sportier tires.

Pr4s are the dadest of tires (predictable, good in rain, grippy enough for most riding), and Dad=boring. If you're not running superhypercorsadragon extremes your tire choice is poo poo. I run pr3/pr4's on both my road going bikes

I like em. Never used pr3s to compare though. Done everything from cold to rain to hoony track riding on em.

I wish the PR4 came in 19" for my vstrom. They have a trail version but I don't know how well it is to use that with a normal pr4 on the rear. Currently running shinkos and they're a bit slippery in the rain.

You will take my Pilot Power 3s from my cold,dead hands. People swear by the roads but the extra grip of the powers is awesome, and you don't lose that much wet grip.

I might have a problem. 2004 TW200. 5k miles, pristine condition, picked it up for $2300. Garage is getting crowded.  edit : hit the DMV over lunch and got it legal. Took it back to work. HOLY poo poo this thing is hilariously gutless. You have to ride it like you're in a drat drag race just to keep up with traffic. I can't tell you why thrashing this poor moped just to keep up is so fun, but it is. Nerdrock fucked around with this message at 18:46 on May 31, 2017 |
