Lots of bicycles out on the weir road today, so I was stuck between trying to avoid those on the left and not going too far right to avoid getting hit by cars going wide. Only saw like five (motor)bikes between Mundaring and Kalamunda, too, which was kind of bizzare on the first nice day in weeks.

Ola posted:I risk coming across as an internet film critic but isn't it a little boring? The photography is certainly wonderful, better than many bike/gear ads for sure. But the content is basically a sensible guy riding. No angles or editing that tries to capture why sensible riding is brilliant. Content-wise you could probably do better with a GoPro and a something handheld capable of 720p and a variation of focal lengths. But I guess hanging camera equipment worth several 1198s on an 1198 isn't very clever. I prefer this one, if I need to be inspired to go out and ride. It's been around for a while now, but I rather enjoy it. http://youtu.be/6HsUKgotJ1U

HNasty posted:Hey guys here is a cool video of some guy with tattoos and Brylcreem in his hair, he builds choppers from scratch. He's got a flannel shirt on and dirty hands, cool look at this zoom shot of his rough dirty hands. He built this by the old fashioned way, look at this black and white shot of his workshop. Check out this ugly rear end tank he made by hand, isn't it awesome. Now he's gonna stare at the camera with a quiet knowing look, then he's gonna talk about how things are not quality anymore. He built his own bike and sometimes he can ride for miles before something breaks. He's genuine, look at his tattoos, I bet they all tell a story. Do you guys hate bikes with suspensions? Me too, it's not because geometry is hard, I just like riding bikes with no suspension. Ok well cool cya, I'm busy being genuine for this other guy who has a DSLR he would like to make a movie of me with. SPARKS FROM A GRINDING WHEEL FLY IN SLOW MOTION. Here's an easier alternative if your imagination has been burnt out from excessive internet usage: http://vimeo.com/16981453 (The guy in the video is awesome though) Forty Two fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Aug 6, 2011 |

Mopeds are great in an urban environment, aren't huge theft targets, easy to park yet street legal, and if the engine sticker is small enough you don't need to insure it or have a license, just register it and ride.

I guess eggyolk left nothing to be added to the discussion now, but mopeds are indeed fun and practical for inner city shennanigans. "Rickety" and "death trap" do not disqualify a vehicle anyway...right?

Ziploc posted:I love the look of that bike. http://www.stuntbums.com/articles/141/introduction-drifting-your-motorcycle And with an extended swingarm, it becomes a lot more fun. Sir Nicholas is a beast. Think I'm going to be picking up a new commuter bike this weekend:  Is there anything I should know about any of the odd sized, old CBs? I'd like to pick up something small just to putt around to work and back on and this 125 seems pretty awesome looking and cheap. I didn't know if there were any major pros/cons to any of them. inolen fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Aug 8, 2011 |

They're all pretty reliable, the odd ones will just be harder to find parts for, thats about it.

I'm sure her skin is airbrushed and all that poo poo they always do though, so if something looks off you could be picking up on that.

Yeah, I think it may just be airbrushing loving with the shadows & the light reflecting off the white ground doing weird things. Glad this derail got the site posted though, there's a ton of cool poo poo on there, not to mention the rest-of-series.

saw this hypermotard at work the other day, covered in carbon fiber bits that have little squiggles painted all over them. Don't know if it's a special edition. Also had these weird wide-rear end fitted tank bags.
