The stunt in question is at about 6:45, but if you've never seen it, the whole ridiculous chase sequence is worth watching. From jumping sport bikes like they are dirt bikes, the stoppie shootout, the burnout smokescreen murder crash, bike drifting shootouts, to the aforementioned using the bike as a bullet shield by sliding beside it. Love it and all it's cheesy ridiculousness.

Backfire was tonight, and good as always. Half the shots are on a cellphone, the other half a GH2 with a Russian Helios lens. Both suck, I'm sorry






Yep, that's a street-legal four cylinder two-stroke flat track bike.






A couple sumos from the Cascadia supermoto group(and some rear end in a top hat's scooter :v:)






So pretty and awesome, I didn't notice the well-restored katana next to it.


[INSTAGRAMMING INTENSIFIES]


It had the paper dealer plate on it still. I'd be proud too if I owned ducati's worst bike.

I think that is for the best. Dude should have had a SPOT tracker.

Dude probably bought an FZ-10 as his first bike too then launches it off the road.

That TZ flat tracker was a beaut and so was the XR750 next to it. I really wanted to hear them both. Definitely the coolest bikes I've seen there in a while.

Backfire is the third Wednesday of every month, and September's will probably be the last good turnout before the weather turns to poo poo. Get on down and check out some cool bikes! (And the 500 bandido Harleys wasting space next to the two bit saloon)

This would be funnier if I didn't work in the film and video industry and would see the benefits of more productions shooting in actual Seattle :sigh:

I found this bike in Yellowstone the other day. The owner said he did all he work himself. The picture on the left bag is Yellowstone, and apparently the one on the right has the Grand Tetons, but there wasn't enough space for me to get in and take a picture. Dude was super cool about me taking pictures.

Good thing Goldwings last forever, he'll never have to worry about resale value. Cool he did all of his own work and all but I'm going to disagree with y'all and say that thing is loving hideous, minus the spurs on the exhaust.

I agree. Plus, if you need a trailer to carry all your stuff on a motorcycle trip, you're doing something wrong.

If a multi million dollar corporation built it and it was the best they could come up with, yes it's hideous.

But it's just one man's quest for glory and that makes it perfect.

Even if that was made from one of the regularly available fuel bottles, it's right in line with being hit by the rear wheel , which could cause "issues". What is the lock even for? The cap unscrews?

Yeah, that was my thought. I have an identical bottle that's specifically rated for fuel and stamped with the proper labels.

fuel-rated canister or not, strapping it directly over a header and in line to get smacked by the wheel when the suspension bottoms out isn't the brightest of ideas
