5 bucks says the chick on the R1 put a foot down to stop and either broke a heel or turned her ankle, dumping the bike and coming off the back end after losing her balance.

I vaguely remember seeing other pictures and possible a story along with it. She was just a very very newb rider and decided to open the throttle on a 1000cc superbike without knowing what it was going to do, then realized oh poo poo cars stopped in front of me crash

Does anyone have that old video, or a link to it, showing a car racing an 80s standard-type motorcycle and a race bike around a track? The car starts off, then the bike, and then the race bike starts way behind both and still wins the race.

Whenever I search for car versus motorcycle videos, it's always one of four that I've seen before: jet/car/bike, boat/F1 car/bike, Lambo/bike, and some other car versus bike video.

The video I am talking about looks older, though, like it was recorded back in the 80s.

At first I thought you meant that 5th Gear vid of the Honda BAR F1 car vs the Honda bike vs the Honda race boat thing but since you said thats not it I have no idea what it is. It sounds pretty cool though, I'll look around for it.

The stubby pipe look is beginning to grow on me. Looks rather fitting on that GSXR. Lose the passenger pegs and integrate the tail lights and it will look very clean and purposeful.

nice f4...is your buddy missing his neck or something?

Haha now that I think about it, I guess he is missing a neck. Hes pretty short, and overweight, so that plus a wierd helmet while wearing a jacket does give the impression of no-neck syndrome.

edit// I don't think its a dual visor, its made by Nolan. Its one of those ones that can flip the front third of the helmet up to make it like a half-helmet. I think he has this small couple inch wide "duckbill" type visor that is attached to the area right above his faceshield. Although maybe it is, I never really got a look at it. I'll ask him about it.

Nice bag load. My bike was loaded down for the trip from Minneapolis to Chicago, but not that much on the tail. I was able to split it between the tail and the tank. You can see my tank bag in the shot I'm coming at the camera - thanks to HNasty for that shot, by the way. Also, I prefer the DragonSlayer shots to the Killboy ones. Particularly, this one:


Thanks for the opinion, I like that one as well.

About what size is your tankbag? I was thinking about picking up a small one, just big enough for maybe a map, wallet, cellphone, and mp3 player.

Do I win an award for strangest bikes in a group ride?




1988 BMW R100RS, 2005 BMW R1200GS, I have zero idea what the hell the other yellow BMW is, then a 2006 Triumph Daytona 675, 2006 Ducati Sportclassic Sport1000 that has about every accessory possible including Termis, a Triumph Tiger, and my 2000 CBR.

The Daytona was still in the break-in period, he said it was the last brand new yellow 2006 675 sold in the US. I wish I had a better camera for the Sport1000. It was by far the sexiest bike there. Its what I want for when I get older I decided.

The yellow BMW is an F650GS. I don't really see any strange bikes there, though.

I normally ride only with Japanese sportbikes, not by choice, just that my friends happen to have them. This is a new group, more of an older crowd I guess. I was the youngest by 10+ years.

This is the second time I've ever seen a Duc up close and probably the same for a Triumph.

I was under the impression that regular, stock street bikes could get 185. I would have guessed that these bikes were modified and could hit speeds closer to MotoGP bikes.

A 600 won't be getting anywhere near that. Certainly not any 750s. Maybe some of the newer 1000s derestricted and modded but it looks like the only stock bikes are Hayabusa and the ZX14

If you had a choice between these listed bikes, to be used as a corner carver and kickass track bike, which would you choose?

1. Honda RC51
2. Suzuki TL1000

I'm assuming you mean the TL1000R and not the S. Regardless, the RC is still better. Very strong engine, looks mean as hell, and sounds like the end of the world. Very uncomfortable though, the seat is like a half inch thick piece of wood.

As you probably guessed, all they do is stunt. I find it cute that they all had to get "gixxers."


edit// And not even competitive stunting or anything even resembling it. These are the "how long can I wheelie down a crowded highway" type
