I'm really liking this new RCR strand, where Roman (the dude who normally sings the intros and outros on the vids) speaks many words about a subject.

LOL re: Rossi. I bet the video is just a helmet cam staring at a porsche as it rapidly gets closer, but I'd still like to see it.

The bike cop course in Brazil looks way better than the US ones I always see (it's Liveleak, but nothing bad):

I found this when one of the guys I work with was lamenting that he didn't have the cash to buy it. I couldn't convince him that a hacked up unknown is not worth more than a nicely restored bike. Or a much newer one with Fuel Injection and ABS.

lmfao what the gently caress
I mean... it's not a bad job of cafe-ing a cruiser. That PO removed a significant amount of stuff from that bike, but for gently caress's sake WHY?

Let's do the checklist:
Handlebars, check
Seat, check
Tank, check

He took it a step further and went full on LEVEL 2 CAFE with the rearsets, rear shocks, fork air caps, and exhaust.
That exhaust is actually not half bad, I've used it before. But those pipes really shouldn't be bluing like that. I'm guessing cyls 1 and 4 are lean as gently caress.

Still the question remains..
What in the actual gently caress is going on with that rear brake?

I got to admit to wanting to try that method of turning now, but I need a throttle lock because my bike's engine braking is way too effective.

If you have two front wheels but one rear wheel, can you still high side by losing then gaining rear wheel traction?

Also, that is ugly as sin

Well yes, because you can even highside in a car if you try hard enough.

Yeah 26th week of 2016. Shinko actually makes decent dual sport tires, especially for the price. Their street tires are garbage imo. Not sure how they can have such a difference between the two styles.

Also these have started popping up all over Nashville. Billboards too.

I thought that was a hype ad for the Yamaha in question. "Cage cause you to lay it down? Well, we know there ain't no way in hell you'll get any formal training, but falling over is a problem you CAN throw money at..."

Honest question. Apart from not requiring a motorcycle license in some areas, what's the point of this kind of bike? Does it offer any actual benefit over a normal bike (suspension geometry, grip, etc?) or is it just trying to attract people who think that two wheels means you fall over at the slightest provocation?
