I think it would work a lot better with just the vintage pinstripes, without the horrible saddle and headlights, and with the tail section intact.

Probably Hates You posted:these were in the related videos. figured they were worth bringing up. From the related: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTg7PUSVidI&feature=related creepy poo poo. My initial reaction was 'mein goodness, fraulein, speaking sich mich more about das motorrad, ja. Und leanen sie forward a bit wenn you do.' and then I pay attention to what she's saying and realize it's one of those drat autopilot things that they're talking about making, and then the german 'humor' happens.

elsanto posted:From here: http://www.sportbikes.net/forums/general-sportbikes/441356-custom-s1000rr.html I don't like this from an aesthetic standpoint. I do like it from the idea of passing a group of squids on the street on it, midway through a power wheeelie. Or using it like it should be, on a racetrack. Nothing they've done would compromise the core that is a S1000RR.

Needs more tassels, maybe on the bars. In the same vein as these silly crash vids, does anyone have a link to the vid of the 250cc class race where one guy comes around a corner and keeps turning into a bale of hay? I can't find it but it really needs a repost.

A/S Vector Jacket, GP Pro's, SMX2's/SMX+'s, and overpants. I'll wear old gear that is worn and/or doesn't fit for myself. I don't understand it at all. You're taking another person's life into your hands, and you want to loving skimp out on basic safety equipment? Retarded. Sorry for the angry rant, but I have to deal with shitheads like this too often and it pisses me off because most of the time the poor girl doesn't even know what she's getting into.

harm0nic posted:I noticed the dirt ring about a week ago, but I'm about to swap in a GSXR front end Won't do any good. Yeah that guys sucks. Unfortunately that poo poo is going to happen all the time. I've seen dudes in mostly full gear giving chicks in flip flops and crap that like a ride around town. Some of it is the guys fault of course because they're chodes, but then again some of it is the girls fault as well. I mean out our local hang out that everyone goes to at night, they have probably 10 or so chicks who drive up there and have just a helmet bumming rides of people. Dudes they don't even know. "Can I have a ride?? I CAN!! *SQUEE* LET ME GO GET MY HELMET" and they run to their car grab their bargin bin 40 dollar helmet that doesn't fit and hop on the back of whoevers bike that said they'd give them a ride. There's a reason they have those extra helmets chilling off the back while riding around. "Bitch lids"  But yeah, there was a whole bunch of "That's hosed up" in that video. Lucky that no one seemed seriously injured. lol was she wearing CE approved uggs? lmao.Content.

But the poo poo where the aerodynamic cowling is an erect neon cock doesn't do it for me. This does. I wish it didn't stick a fishhook up your rear end, though.

blue vein steel posted:it's just that i think those Japanese bikes have moved into an area of not really being concerned with aesthetics and just trying to be absurd, setting them apart and making them more unique than the BMW. Maybe not exactly art, but more creative. Well, those are bosozoku (sp?) bikes, which was a 60-70 (if I remember right) movement in Japan. These bikes were intended to look completely absurd, and the guys riding them were the Hell's Angels of Japan, to make a fitting analogy. The bikes were made to shock, not to be pretty.

I was woken up every night starting in the spring through the fall by the sound of these motherfuckers ripping their poo poo up on the street in front of our apartment building. Up and down up and loving down. Loud enough to be heard from miles away echoing in the empty concrete canyons of the post 3am osaka infrastructure. There's no trees on the streets. No planted hedge rows or sound blocking walls to contain the noise. It just bounces around in a lifeless echo chamber. And every night, they did some loving 'song' with their revs. 'Bra nah nah bra nah nah nah nah brananana Braaah na na na'... repeat. I'd rather hear about someone riding hooligan past kindergartens at recess while riding a harley 2 up naked than remember those fucks. Making noise is the least interesting thing a bike does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8_BYLDXMUE
