He's an amazing rider, and doesn't really adhere to the HELLAFIED STUNTA culture.

OK, here's an insane video. It's a helmet cam on a Supermoto rider's helmet. It really gets the blood flowing. http://www.xtremereplay.com/Download/Use_Later/Motard_-_Xtreme_Recall_dwnld.wmv

Mapless posted:On a forum with a strong emphasis on performance, with a specific admonition pertaining to stunting and having already stirred up a shitstorm with prior postings of your bullshit what exactly were you hoping for when you posted yet another stunta pic? He's not doing it on public roadways, so what is the problem? A circle wheelie pic is a lot more interesting than most of the pics here. "Oh, look, another japanese sportbike." "Cool, it's another picture of you taking a turn." Let's ban burnouts from AI too.

You sure it was an SV650? He used to use Ducati Monsters before BMW sponsored him. Not saying it wasn't, but you might could mistake a Monster for an SV650 at a casual glance. And yeah, Pfieffer is amazing. "Stunna" or not, he can ride the hell out of a bike, and he does "legitimate" racing too, lots of motocross, and anything else on two wheels. Stunt shows just pays his bills, and he defies physics sometimes.

The video resolution is low, but the difference in the rear seats, and the angle of the front exhaust header gives it away. He rides it after he finishes doing some crazy poo poo on a trials bike.

inolen posted:Especially seat stander circles, where you have to use the clutch/handbrake at the same time with the same hand. I don't care much about stunting one way or another as long as it's not on the road, but what kind of bike are you riding that you have a clutch and a brake on the same handgrip? Do you have to run a lever for the rear brake or something?

I have an aftermarket rear master which lets me run two lines (or you can machine up an adapter that's threaded for a banjo bolt and put it in place of your reservoir inlet on your stock rear master). It's purely for off the peg tricks in which I can't use my foot brake.

What makes motards so fast on lovely surfaces like that? They seem to be on sport tires, just like most sport bikes, but I would be incredibly loving scared to corner that quickly on that poo poo on my ex250. They seem to let the rear wheel slide out all the time without low or high-siding. Is it the light weight, the huge suspension travel, putting the foot down for balance (I can't imagine it does much past 10 mph), or all of the above?

Even with knobbies you slide all over the place. That's how you go fast. They don't fall because: 1. they are skilled 2. dirt has things called "berms" 3. supermoto dirt is usually hard packed and blue-grooved

Right, I have no doubt they are highly skilled, but at least some of it has to be the bike or people would run all kinds of bikes in those races. There has to be some reason supermotos are quicker on tight courses with lovely pavement than sport bikes or standard dirt bikes, or people wouldn't use them.

I'm pretty sure the race series has rules as to what bikes you can run. I'm also pretty sure that a supermoto bike is, in fact, a standard dirt bike. If you have to ask why nobody runs knobbies, then look at a typical track and notice the pavement/dirt ratio.

There has to be some reason supermotos are quicker on tight courses with lovely pavement than sport bikes or standard dirt bikes, or people wouldn't use them. They are light, as in 200-ish pounds wet. They make massive torque and decent hp(mid 50s for 450s, up into the 70s for really tweaked works rigs). The suspension geometry allows for sliding around. Did I mention torque? The riders are agressive, backing one in like that on asphalt takes brass balls and some screwed up survival instinct wiring in the noggin. You'll notice the riders are wearing MX type gear, because they are working thier asses off wrangling those bikes. Leathers would cause them to overheat. It takes a very odd person to ride like that.

Honestly, I could care less if stunta pictures or knee dragging pictures get posted. I do however hate it when pic/video threads get fagged up with more poo poo tossing about which takes more skill... all I know is that I do neither of them very well... both sets of pics are enjoyable and help to fill my rather boring and mundane day. That is all... post more pics! and to contribute!

 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Awesome day down on the Mist Hiway just outside of Clatskanie, Oregon. Ran that road a couple times before having to deal with a Rocket III that locked the front tire in a corner. Ever try lifting an 850lb bike out of the ditch and onto a trailer? VVV Yup, good thing.
