[working title posted:] Trials riding is so awesome. Even better is trials bicycling. Look up Ryan Leech on YouTube for some sick riding ability. Here's the bike I'm currently lusting after:  2007 Aprilia Shiver 750. 97hp 750cc v-twin, 189 kilos. PLEASE PLEASE APRILIA BRING IT TO CANADA!!! (Not that I can afford one right now anyway)

Wicaeed posted:God that MV is about 1000 times sexier than any Ducati 1098 I've seen. They had one at the yearly bike expo in Santa Clara. It's about 10x sexier in person At the Toronto bike show someone brought one of these up to "test the waters" so to speak... http://www.mvagustausa.com/web-mvagusta/07_F4_CC.html It is without question the finest, most beautiful, most exquisitely detailed bike I've ever seen. Not even the best custom build could come close to it. Its only flaw is that you would never want to ride it lest an errant bug mar its perfect surface.

I got that pic from the UK autotrader and I believe the ad stated it was lowered for the previous owner which could account for the droopy butt. Other pics I've looked up don't have that look. It's still pretty fine looking, and the reviews I've read so far have been nothing short of glowing. Just saw the new Guzzi V7 Classic... want one of those too  here's a more normal look for an '01 raptor  And from the  file: from http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2007/11/20/tilting-v-max-trike-by-tilting-motor-works/ Finger Prince fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Jun 18, 2008 |

You can hear a muffled bassiness on my friend's Bandit with the stock pipe, like there's something really mean in there kept on a very short leash, but the stock pipe muffles the the hell out of it.

the letter b posted:Nice shots.. I'm assuming that L means 'learner' and if so holy poo poo you can legally ride those things around as a learner? up here in the True North Strong And Free, you write can write your learners test (multiple choice, no practical), sling your leg over your new 'busa and ride off into the sunset. Well not quite, you're restricted to riding between sunup and sundown, and no motorways. It's only good for 90 days though, so you have to either renew it by writing the test again (the squidliest option), or do the MOT practical assessment. The proper option is to do the approved motorcycle safety course, but that's $400 and who's got that kind of money when you just financed a new R1 with $500 down that you're going to sell at the end of the summer anyway? (if you haven't killed yourself, that is)

Went to the Toronto bike show last weekend as I was in town and my friend wanted to go buy some gear. All the usual suspects were there, nothing really that I hadn't already seen last spring. There was an interesting KTM dirt bike that had been converted to a ski on the front and driving a track on the back, so sort of a snomobike. Weird. In the videos they were showing of it playing in the snow, it didn't look very stable. The riders looked like they had their hands full keeping it upright. In amongst the classic racers and assorted eclectic machinery was this gem.  Click here for the full 1600x1200 image. Worth the price of admission! My friend got better pictures on his real camera but I've only got this cellphone pic.

I went to the London motorcycle show yesterday. Thought I'd find a lot more to take pictures of, was a little disappointed. Here's a few I took shots of. I probably should have taken some pictures in the classic bike display, but I was on a helmet buying mission! First, a carbon fiber Bimota. Probably expensive.  Second, a regular Bimota, same model. Probably still expensive. There was a fully faired one there, but I couldn't get a clear photo of it.  Next up, a Kawi ER-6N in a really nice metal flake orange. Nice bike, comfortable, cool looking, capable from the reviews I've read. I'd like to ride one to see how I like it.  BMW WSB machine made from pure unobtanium.   BMW HP2 Megamoto. I was really keen to sit on this because the last show I was at it was cordoned off. The thing that struck me as weird was how much rake there was on the forks. It's practically cruiser-like! I really want to take one of these for a ride. Sorry that's all I've got! The KTM booth was waaay crowded with people, no way to get a clear picture of any of the bikes, sweet as they were.

Ola posted:Well, that's pretty much all it is. Heavy and expensive, but a proper electric scooter available right now. At least I think it is. Weight wise it's 234kg, halfway between a T-Max and a Silver Wing, so not out of line for a maxi-scoot. One price I found on a brief search shows 7k pounds/11k euro so pricey, but not unreasonable. Less than a lovely car, anyway. 35-55 (55-88km) mile estimated range, 100kph top speed. It's a start, at least.

ari.gato posted:How's that C7 Cafe compare to a Thruxton? The Thruxton was originally on my "next bike once the recession ends" list, but if the Guzzi is better, I might make the switch. from the brief bit I read about it, it's the same as the V7 Classic which gets consistent "nicer than the equivalent Triumph Bonneville" reviews, but compared to the Thruxton it doesn't have the same punch. It's a 50hp/40 foot pounds bike. here's a review: http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/2009-moto-guzzi-v7-cafe-classic-review-88191.html with more pictures at the bottom

Zool posted:How the hell is it balancing, or does the little girl rock it off the center stand? probably on the center stand. If the rear tire is even a little bit on the ground it'll go. Scooter center stands are designed for ease of use and basically take no effort to move off the stand. Actually if memory serves, they're designed to be able to be driven away from parked on-stand.

Jack the Smack posted:Haha, I found this on a thread bashing harley riders: idiot or not, what kind of person doesn't stop to help? you've got a motorhome that is probably the only vehicle capable of taking the guy to a hospital or at least a populated area where he can get help. At least make sure he's ok to ride. When I crashed my bike, people were tripping over themselves to help me out and make sure I was ok. It's loving disgusting that those cretins in the motorhome didn't stop.
