echomadman posted:Bandits are slow as balls compared to the bike he's coming off of, its possible that has a 33bhp restriction too if its a loaner. Fast is in the eye of the beholder. I'm pretty sure that I can strap Mr. Mootmoot to the rear of a Bandit 600 and ride it non-straight, well within legal limits, enough to make him cry out for Mother Mootmoot. That said, new riders should measure penis length on the track, not on the streets.

What you have to keep in mind is that HST hadn't been on anything remotely approaching a fast, state of the art street bike in at least 25 years. He brought to it understandably dated views and vocabulary, much like you would in the event you're asked to review the 2040 Honda Gammatron Pulse Detonator 6000. He got on it anyway. Would anyone even remember this article if John Updike had taken the assignment?

He mentions they are slow and have poo poo technology but due to the fact that is what they were riding after the war and most Hell's Angels are perpetually broke it makes sense. If you want borrow a brake pedal from your mates, you better be riding the same kind of iron. Other than that I found Sonny to a bore. HST is a lier, nowhere near as awesome as his myth, but he was a good writer who learned that writing that you are a badass will make people think you are a badass. Now I'm off to shoot my my 1911 .45 that I carry in my tank bag after I wheelie all the way to my private shooting range where I shoot at wrecked cars. I hope the 1200 mg of Xanax mixed with Claratin get me the right buzz when mixed with Absolut.

I'm going to create an opposite HST character for my writing career. We were somewhere around Bayeux on the edge of the Bocage when the Gruyère began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I think I had too much cheese; maybe you should drive...." And suddenly there was a lovely chiriping chorus all around us and the sky was full of what looked like swallows, all swooping and singing and diving around the car, which was going the speedlimit with the top down to Paris. And my voice was saying "Holy Jesus! What are these lovely birds?"

In 2040 Lifan will be the last manufacturer standing and everyone here will be the equivalent of Prohibition rum runners, mixing and distributing their own versions of black market gasoline. For this and many other reasons, the CB200 supersedes the SV650 as CA weapon of choice by 2032.

Ola posted:I'm going to create an opposite HST character for my writing career. I wholeheartedly support that book. If you need a solid source from before you were born, I'm willing to participate. I've been riding bikes for 3 decades, and gosh do I have non-thrilling stories to tell! The sheer amount of non-stabbings and mental drive-by-shootings I've witnessed is astonishing and will probably spellbind the reader. My stories about not ripping the tarmac inch deep with my elbows will baffle the audience. Did I tell you about my brother almost breaking his toe in an almost-crash. He's so goddamn lucky he survived. Do we have a deal? I demand a solid 0,8 percent of the revenue. This is not negotiable. I'm a biker. If you've got problems with the therms and conditions of this deal, you'll have to negotiate with my mother. She'll tear your spine right out though your helmet. Or offer you coffee. Well, she'll most likely offer you coffee. lovely coffee. Take the spine-ripping.

I'm sure you could get an eBay seller or a goon to do a custom reflective decal for you if you sent that into them. Probably shouldn't run you more than $10-15

Went for a little ride today, about 100 miles, Tamales Bay/Pt. Reyes/ Muir Beach highway 1, should have taken more photos but I was having too much fun to stop more.       About 15 miles south of Stinson Beach, it got real tight shortly after this.  Broke babbys 10k mark today  Rear Super Corsa is almost done I think.
