lol taunts harley guy, crotch rocket tires still have full chicken stripsā¦
j/k not many can keep a body going that can lean a bike over far in a corner and pick it up at speed it takes strength and practice.
Not to tell too much of my life but a lot of it has been racing cars and soetimes during training the track is big enough to be two tracks same day and sometimes one track had a car club I was in, and the other track had a motorcycle club.
At lunch most tracks have a snack bar and they have burgers and hot togs and stuff like that and all the drivers and people are together. And one of the times I was there I saw all the motorcycle club was there in line for food first and taking off full face helmets to order food and chill. And this man in fire suit and real pro looking gear, bike near him was yamaha R1 not stock if that tells you anything, he was talking to instructor about his racing line, and when helmet came off he was old AF old man.
One mistake on a machine like that and his hip bones and whatnot idk if he could recover. But heās the man and taking lessons to get even better and faster. I guess being old lets enough time go by to save for R1 haha.
But it had rained that night and the track didnāt have standing water but it was slick in spots that you couldnāt see, like when the oil and road grime first start loosening from the rain.
I had a car with four rain tires and was being conservative, and it was really inspiring the dude had grey hair, wrinkles, fucking hitched up the waist of his fire suit old guy style, was awesome!
Gave me hope to live a long time and still have a fun life and body that works.
The hondaās angular body work reminds me of the italian exotics in the 80s contache and testarossa the cars that look āsharpā and seem like they are going fast when they are parked haha. Looks like fun
Arenāt they built for angry wifeās just left them middle aged blokes that have watched 3 episodes of Sons of anarchy?
I was out in a club about 6 months ago and ended up chatting to a āpatchedā member of a motorcycle club (he called it a gang. Tried to look intimidating then got headbuttedā¦not by me but one of my mates lol)
We donāt have gangs here. The pic of me on the Aprilia is with a proper MCC that spend their time raising cash for charities. That actual day was taking an old boy with Dementia on a ālast rideā was a good day
I agree with Colanoscopy looks like a scooter to me?
Overseas we called them scooters.
The only biker club that is like a gang at my old home i went to a bar they stopped at when i drank they rolled in one per bike 50 deep even girls had their own and they had patches that said āCombat Veterans Associationā they are kind of like a swarm of batmans at home haha.
You kow someone cuts off a minivan with baby on board sticker and slams the brakes in left lane, then looks right and sees 50 combat vets on choppers with shotgun hosters instead of suitcase hahaha, the cops give them free reign too, they are an even deeper better armed and trained than 5-0 and they are mostly not evil to boot unllike those pesky porkers who seem mostly corrupt or ignorant.
Any CVA bikers look really tough but they are regular guys like the rolex rangers and all the motorcycle people they just donāt want to get run over and to go fast and be left alone its not asking for much imoā¦
I have owned one. Very nice bike when it is running well. Kinda painful to work on compared to Japanese bikes, and expensive to pay others to work on. Lots of little things went wrong with mine. Electrical gremlins, gearbox, brakes.
Clutch took me two full weekends to do (granted I drank beer too), and cost over 700 bucks just in parts and loctite. On a Japanese bike with a wet clutch I would have been done by lunchtime on the first Saturday.
I did put Ohlins shocks on her, and she rode really well. Probably better than my current s10. BUT expensive to run on all accounts.
