Here's a picture of me getting ready to leave from DFW to Florida. The bike is a Suzuki Boulevard M50. I have put 18,800 miles on it since last summer and it has no oil leaks or any other mechanical issues so far. It's not ideal for touring, but it's all I have.

It's a good thing for that clown that he did keep the clutch in. Can you imagine the pain and suffering if he had popped it out while it was revving like that?

Why do they even bother painting lane markers there? Every single car that passed them was straddling lanes when they did it.

The only possible explanation is that the motorcyclist was texting a suicide note to his girlfriend.

I would have slowed the gently caress down as soon as that poo poo started flying. That dumbass didn't hit the brakes until he was almost into it.

Well I dont see how anyone is going to top that. Now I've seen everything.

Your challenge sent me on a wild and unsuccessful google image search for the deer-skin motorcycle. Does anybody have this saved? It's a pic of a motorcycle and a guy both fully decked out in furry deer skin, with the guy wearing the deer's head like a crown/helmet of some kind.

I finally forced myself to watch that movie and god did it suck...so horrible. "They're gonna make it." No they're not they're hippies trying to farm the desert, ugh.

The whole movie was about the predestined failure of the hippie movement. Symbolism, man!

Then where would your precious rust free used vehicles come from? And to where would you export your horrifyingly dangerous elderly drivers?

I'm just jealous at the sheer amount of people they have riding on two wheels over there. Can you just imagine the possibilities if we could get more people on two wheels in the US?
