Let me preface by saying I know this is a crappy post and I'm embarrassed by it. I saw a picture of a bike in a thread in CA and as much as I try I can't remember what it was called or where I saw it. The bike was a classic-styled modern bike, in the vein of Triumph's modern classics. It had pretty knobby tires and looked like an early dirt bike. It was a European bike not available in the US, and it was painted in white and bright yellow. The photograph was taken side on, and I believe the bike was pointed towards the right. Does this ring any bells?

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:if that's the diesel i think it is, i read a review in some magazine and they didn't like it much. i don't remember all their complaints but one was that it uses a CVT and therefore you get an irritating monotonous drone out of the engine everywhere you go at every speed. Aw, that's too bad. I really like the look of it and a diesel bike would just be the bees knees.

Saw this very clean 750 Tiger yesterday in downtown DC. Sorry about the crappy phone picture. Anyone recognize the year? Later in the day I saw an Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory but didn't have time to get a picture. Nice change of pace from the endless Busas that dominate the weekend night scene.

 I wish I knew the story behind this. Bike cop shows up on his police Harley (still sporting the sidecar from the winter - awesome), parks it, and hops on this YZF and drives away. I saw him a minute later with a cop car with lights on following him. Another officer plus car stayed at the gas station, presumably to look after the cop's bike. I didn't see any other activity so I don't know if they'd confiscated it from someone or if it was left at the gas station or what. It was pretty funny to see the cop in his white half helmet and knee-high leather boots folded up on that little bike. The other officers seemed to be getting a kick out of it too. ought ten fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Apr 12, 2011 |

Probably Hates You posted:I'll see if I can't get some frames out of my gopro. It died a few seconds later so that's where I cut the video. I've got tons of little 10mb files on the memory card of me trying to record video of the scene and the bike. I'll see if I can't nab some pictures off of those. I'm really, really glad your friend didn't lose his bike, and I hope there isn't any lasting damage. That said, I can't help but wish just a little bit that your video had continued with you watching the bike tumble down the hillside shedding bits of plastic and metal before exploding in a huge fireball.

When I saw the preview image I didn't think it was going to be possible, but those guys are good. Especially the one with the camelbak. And I'm really impressed how calm they look after they save it. I'd be shaking so hard I'd have to pull over but they just keep it leaned over and cruise away.
