Those big choppers really do seem like the bike equivalent of old dudes driving convertible coupe penis shaped bmws. That said, I have probably watched around 100 episodes of American chopper over the years. Mostly just for the drama though.

He basically hammered the front brake, or didn't use rear brake enough right? Also didn't give himself enough room to slow down obviously, but I think he could have done that better if he wasn't so bad at braking.

Being halfway intelligent and concerned with self preservation, I don't think I'd have gone ahead with even getting my M1 if I didn't have the advice here. From where I started it seemed like a pointlessly dangerous yet exciting activity which I generally avoid. It still completely dumbfounds me that anyone would ride a motorcycle on a public road without even taking the MSF. The fact that it is even legal to do so completely astounds me. Honestly in my opinion the MSF riding portion should be 4 times as long and be required before you even get a permit, and the test should be way less forgiving. But it's better than nothing.

Once things get settled down a bit, I'll try and put together another maintenance day or something...now that Baby Hitler's gone though, we don't really have a place to work. Maybe we can beg a place to work from one of the other LA goons. Or you guys can come up to SB. I'm up for that. Definitely getting that drz400sm this weekend so I'll probably want to do something to it by then. I'd offer my place but I live in a condo in Korea Town. Pretty sure my wife would be pissed if we all pulled into the living room.

Coming from LA, that is not traffic. You're moving. Imagine a 100 mile by 100 mile city wherein every major artery is like that or worse.

Z3n posted:Isn't that the whole point of being a cop? You're not gonna be too effective when you put a bunch of signs up indicating where you're gonna be. Completely agree here... Mulholland is horrible on the weekends. I prefer Angeles crest/Pasadena area, less idiots and it's a lot nicer scenery. I do want to go up there just to watch squids crash out though.

hayden. posted:Trying to make things float with giant fans isn't exactly a new concept. There's a reason we never see them commercially available, and that reason is very clear once you remove the anchors holding it to the ground. Works well enough on some VTOL aircraft... Everything has to be weighted and measured perfectly so its just a matter of how much engineering time they put into it.

Phat_Albert posted:Supermotos are the only thing that gives me some hope in the US market, and even those are a very small niche bike to the majority of the motorcycling public here I'm surprised they do as well as they do. Every time I tell someone I have a motorcycle and they always ask "what kinda bike?" as if they actually know enough about bikes to know more then "a ninja" or "a harley" and I tell them "it's a supermoto" I just get this blank stare... I just summarize it by saying, "it's a dirtbike with street tires" and they almost always go "hmph" So yeah, having a supermoto has made me appears less cool than if I just continued to ride the bus to work... I accept this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT7VW1f0lSc Or in HD Just a GoPro video I took this last weekend of my first trip up into the mountains. I've commuted on my DRZ400sm for like a year now, but recently I've been commuting by car... So on the weekend, I actually want to go riding, and I did. It was fun... This was actually my first time taking any bike on a mountain road.

This weather, especially down by the beach is absolutely insane. This state does a lot of things wrong, but oh my god is it a great place to be a motorcyclist. Yeah, the only thing California does right is basically existing as it was created by the earth/having roads... And some good food.

Ponies ate my Bagel posted:I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow. I actually really want to attempt this with my DRZ tonight as some friends got a campsite and this would be a lot more fun than driving out there in my Prius. I've got a osprey atmos 50 backpack that looks something like this:  Internal frame, etc.. I go backpacking/camping a lot, I think I would go a lot more if I could incorp motorcycle into the equation. I'm having a hard time visualizing in my head how this would actually work. Also, what parts I need from REI. I'm always up for an REI shopping trip.
