Are the pedals (clutch?) on a motorbike fixed enough where a pedal strike will make you eat shit in a corner similar to a bicycle? It looked like that guy was nearly scraping through the corners.

on the bikes I've ridden, the foot pegs fold up if you scrape pavement when you corner. The clutch is actually on your left handlebar, throttle on your right. You shift with your left toe and brake with your right foot (and hand). I used to find this so confusing. Now I can pay attention to the other vehicles on the road.

Sold the Monster!

:::sniff:::

Its been fun...

MOTARD WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Lox]

Dag son... did you sell it just to buy the motard?

[VTP]

no, sold truck for a 4runner, sold bike because of the new payments on the yota.

selling my GL2 for another camera if anyone is interested!

Fuck a motard is in the plans, so if anyone has any suggestions on something under 5K holler. Anyone ever ride the WR400 on the street? The aprilia is #1 choice but out of the question, that thing is insane expensive.


This would be sweet.

Which part ?!?!?

"Air crash observer" implies a crash?!?!

[VTP]

the part where they do this...

at speed!

[Lox]

Six inches of air at 180 mph is pretty damn impressive, I do say. And they wobble quite a bit when they land. I was hoping for a crash.

I like this video:

It's a Husaberg SM610 pwning sportbikes in the corners on a track day. The sportbike riders look nowhere near as skilled as the dudes in your vid, so I think it's misleading. I just like how forgiving the SM is in changing lines and taking different lines quickly, especially considering how much faster the lighter bike can enter the corners.

Wheee!

i got a hold of that little 80cc last thursday. pretty fun in the backyard!

[Lox]

Sick !!!

You build any sweet jumps?

[Salathe]

r u kidding me? im to scared to roll over a small hill at 3 miles an hour!!

but i think next weekend my friend will bring over his quads so we quickly establish a little track.

very very first time i rode it (on the street) got yelled at by a neighbor. it was 11pm. classic.

you can make beginner jumps by digging down in your yard

i'm just sayin... learning to jump is what those 80s are for.
