Snotgoblin posted:Haha been there done that, 6 months in Whistler as a snowboard bum and was the best time of my life, living off super noodles, epic house parties, getting trashed on fireball and cheap extra strong lager. Err, were you the dude on a green Ninja I said hello to near some reservoir thing? Seriously, that is the exact same bike, can't remember what you looked like though. I was with my friend, red Bandit 650 and white CBF 125.

Went out on my bike earlier and came across this fella with his Monster 600.  After 18 months of riding bikes, he ended up in an accident that left him paralysed, that was 40 years ago. Since then, he's been modifying bikes for side-car wheelchair action. Dude loves his bikes.

moist turtleneck posted:I'd love to see a new Magna as well. I was really hoping the new V4's would spawn a Fury that would actually deserve the name. I love my Hammer, but I loved being much more nimble on the Magna. Plus, Harley riders would pull up to me on my Magna and make fun of it for having "fake pipes", since cruisers can only have two pipes! Too bad those "fake pipes" allowed it to go like a bat out of hell when the light turned green after they made fun of it. An old comparison pic of the size difference between the Hammer and Magna: and that oil spot is not from the Magna. I've had a go on a friends '87 Super Magna (imported from the US, 1 of only 4 in the UK apparently) and it goes like stink, seriously. It'll rip your arms off up to 90.

Don't forget the Ulster GP where, unlike the IOM TT, they actually do race for position instead of best lap time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1raAStOltsw e: Whilst doing ~180mph inches away from barbed wire fences.

SaNChEzZ posted:Dunno what it is, but I like it. And it's oil stains, which I don't think are from this bike judging by the condition. Quick google and it looks like a customised 1955 G3LS. Also, every Matchless I've seen, no matter how mint leaks oil like a sieve so I'd say that patch of oil is definitely from that bike.

Don't they have like, wheelie schools in the US? They have them over here. Could look at doing something like that, I'd rather pay £200 and use a schools bike rather than risk my own.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Apparently this is after he got black-flagged for a loose wheel nut (hence why he looks so pissed off) and so he was just parked at some random bit of the track, and allegedly he'd blagged a cup of tea from one of the marshalls before he'd even parked the bike. Yup. Story goes his wheel nut came flying off and a spectator saw it, picked it up and went running to a marshal.

I rented a Harley Davidson on my birthday just to give it a go and what not (I normally ride a Z750). I initially booked in for a Sportster, XL1200 or something but it was sold before the rental day so they "upgraded" me to a Fat Bob dyna. It was a lovely cream colour and looked pretty nice actually. Despite the fact that it was a poo poo engine that would transmit a fuckload of vibration through the entire bike and bars, giving me white finger vibration and I'm sure if I'd ridden it long enough I'd eventually have Raynaud's Syndrome I can still see some of the appeal to it. It turns heads (despite the fact the one I was riding had a stock exhaust that made it sound like some poo poo chinese 250) and the vibration kind of gives it character. The feet forward controls were weird as hell at first. I took off from the Dealer trying to put my feet where the pegs are on my Z750 but eventually you get used to it and it is comfortable until you start doing motorway speeds (about 70mph). Then you've got to really plant your feet to stop them getting blown off the pegs and because of the angle of your body, where you're leaning back; you can't get proper purchase on the bars, so you're literally hanging on. The bike I rented:  My cousin trying his best to look hard hah (thinking of getting a HD when he turns 50, rides a Streetfighter at the moment, behind him is the 749 he just bought to do up as a track bike):

Ripoff posted:If the best pleasure of motorcycling is only the sensation of speed, then how on earth do the cruiser, touring, off-road and trials motorcycle markets exist? How the gently caress can Harley-Davidson sell so many 883 Sportsters and full bagger setups? The off-road/trials market has its own challenges and rewards. As for cruisers; people watching Sons of Anarchy with a disposable income.

Test rode a GSXR-750 and CB1000R the other day. As much as I enjoyed the Suzuki and would love to have one, I just can't. It's way too loving fast for the road, I'd lose my license. The CB thou was immense fun though and a proper bike I could hoon about. The dealer asked me what I got out of it and I just told him there were no more chicken strips on it  http://imgur.com/a/b2HUH

Shimrod posted:This arguement is so loving stupid. You can turn the bike with just shifting your body weight, I do it all the time, it's not as effective as using the bars but it works. If you don't believe it happens, you will if you go out and actually do it. Holy poo poo. That bike needs a clean

Schroeder91 posted:How should you handle the bike if you catch air like that? Loose on the handlebars when you come down right? Obviously keep it straight. Pretty sure I jumped over a railroad once going like 80, but didn't catch much air because it was uphill. When I caught some air over a little tiny bridge that was basically an upside down V I poo poo myself but was also quite surprised with how balanced and not out of control it felt, if that makes any sense.
