To be fair, some of the more advanced tricks I've seen done at "stunta" demonstrations require a bit of skill and coordination as well. I'm not impressed by wheelies or stoppies or highchairs, etc., but some of the tricks Christian Pfeiffer does are pretty :coal:. Then again, he's a trials rider.

Well Christian Pfeiffer is on a whole different plane of existence than your average STARBOYZ FTP stunta. Plus, as you said, Pfeiffer is a trials rider.

I love how you so boldly show your ignorance.

I think you still have no clue what a real stunt rider is. Squids doing power wheelies on the freeway != stunt rider.

I love how you endlessly defend your little hobby. Standups, highchairs, rolling burnouts, big endos, standing on the seat, aka, all the poo poo you see over and over and over and over and over and over at every single stunt show on the planet (not just douchebags on the freeway), does not hold a candle to the poo poo that a pro trials rider does.

It just doesnt, sorry if you dont like that.

I know you cant just hop on a bike and join the starboiz or whatever, but lets be honest, how many trials riders are out there with the insane skills to do the poo poo featured in the video posted above? Not many, they are rare. How many loving bandana-wearing, wifebeater-rocking, youtube posting stuntas are around at every single motorcycle event that occurs, hawking their homemade DVD's and blaring lovely deathmetal while they put on shows consisting of the same 5 or 6 tricks that every other stunt group does?? About 10 million.

Does that tell you something about trials vs. stunt riding?

I was, but if that's what you meant then disregard what I said. Edit: It sounded like you were talking about running alongside one on the highway.

Getting upset at stunters for practicing in parking lots (with proper approval) is like throwing fits at auto-x guys or sportbikers on trackdays. All too often it's the douchebags on the highways that cause the problems for us all (and it's actually THOSE guys that I get so up in arms about, not the people who TRULY and honestly keep it off the street).

And of course, guys like this. There isnt a big enough rolleyes for this image.

I've added frame pucks and a D&D slip-on exhaust. It's one mean sounding sports bike.


Oh God, D&D, the loudest pipes availiable, on a Buell, the loudest sportbike availiable. That thing must sound like a V-twin freight train.

Thats a sweet bike though, I have always loved the way they look, and from what everyone says, they are absolutely brilliant handlers, and a hoot to ride.

That's why most guys run a SCOTTS damper. Most guys will say that a properly valved suspension has the same effect as a damper, and then some will say if you're suspension is tiring you out then you're not going fast enough.

I'd love to talk shop, but I think there's like 2 trail riders in all of AI.


I lived and breathed dirtbikes from 7 to about 20 years old. I havent ridden off-road in any serious manner in about 6 years, but I want to get back into it.

I've heard that explanation too, but its just like a ton of clear coat. Even some scuffs will still show up, so I don't really see the advantage. I know race bikes don't need to look look super fly, and everything is already plastic anyway so its not like you need the paint to prevent rusting or whatever so...

Just like if you had an assload of clearcoat, you could just run a buffer over it for a while, and it will eventually look like new.

These bikes looks pretty rad. I wonder how they handle.

With that big rake, I bet they both handle like poo poo. The last one looks pretty sweet though. I like the vintage Salt Flats look.

Hence, why nublets shouldnt buy literbikes. Anyone who knows what they're doing knows not to whack the throttle open on a bike with new tires, no matter what the bike is, let alone a wild-rear end literbike.

The one I was thinking of was a different one actually, it was more of a standard styled bike, built by a single guy, rather than a company. It looked pretty much like a stock CB750, but it had nice suspension, brakes, exhaust, etc.

Just picked my bike up about 3 weeks ago. It's a Graphite Silver 2007 Yamaha R6 with 4k miles on the odometer. The only things I've got done to it so far is Fender Eliminator, Side Markers, and a Cool white led on the nose. I've got my HIDS and Sliders on the way. I've also got a friend who's integrating my rear blinkers into the passenger foot pegs.
