I rode for several miles beside a guy on a Harley who had a little dog about that size literally standing on the tank. The dog was wearing Doggles and had a harness but I have no idea how it wasn't sliding all over the place.

There's a joke about Harleys not turning in there somewhere.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

Oh it's gonna happen one way or the other, pal.




Accurate to my ex250 experience:

-It kept working, even after being submerged in a flood while I was at a goon meet.
-Bought it for $2,500, totaled out for $2,500

I miss that little thing. It was so much fun to push as much as I could out of it. I don't think I'll every get to that point on my 600 because I don't ride track and the limit of a 600 on the road is 2spooky4me.

drat that’s exactly accurate, right down to me buying an EX250 that had been dropped on both sides for $800.

It’s my fifth bike and it’s currently tied with my KLR for favorite bike.

I have to agree. Definitely not my thing, but it's cool and well done, and good for that guy.

I did not know someone put hub center steering on a scooter.

From the Dragster wiki page:

quote:

The forkless front suspension was criticised as leading to "non-harmonic and wobbly dynamics at lower speeds."

Well, the 250s were certainly quicker than most people were expecting a scooter to be in the days when >125cc scooters were an extreme rarity, and the 125s (or at least the F1-branded Formulas) were deliberately undergeared (not in the way that guy is), topping out at about 65, to give them a fair amount of poke off the line - which let's face it is a lot more useful for the vast majority of scooters.
