That's fantastic. Good ol Poskitt. We stopped watching Races to Places a few years ago on SSN 6. Just picked it back up this past week and it's like therapy in lockdown. Seeing him off in distant places, in a world without troubles, with his easygoing attitude, was exactly what we needed. What a great guy. edit: terrible snype.

I had a good time building my HF trailer, and so far I've used it to go to Road America and Autobahn (the IL one not the DE one). I will probably shore up the plywood that I used as a surface with some bracing wood underneath, but I've had no issues with wheels, tars, or bearings or anything. It's not perfect, but neither am I.

Ramping off another dude's crashed bike was one of my favourite things in Road Rash Half the time the road whipped around so you sailed into a tree or an oncoming car or a cop, but it was still hilarious

![]() I rode this yesterday with a friend. My buddy is in the bottom right for scale. Got a late start which was perfect because the weather was comfortable. Dusty though. At one point I was descending a downhill consisting of soft sand when my front tire sunk. I came off the bike and scorpioned. Today I was driving out of the mountains and saw a Harley group which looked like they were going to die. It was raining, windy, and they were doing 75 through a curve in a deeply rutted section. Their bikes were wobbling sideways and rear tires were losing traction. I couldn't watch so I changed a few lanes over. Speaking of texting, As I got into the city there was a car in front of me braking at every intersection for two miles when the street we're on has no stops. I think maybe she's lost or looking for an address. We get to a red light. Head down in her phone scrolling Instagram. Light turns green and I count to five before I honk because I'm not an impatient rear end in a top hat. But I can see she's on her phone so I honk. She looks up starts driving. Again, braking at every intersection despite no stop signs or lights. Head down in her phone. Only looking up when she brakes. We get to another light where thankfully I'm continuing through and she goes into the turn lane. Head still down in her phone. She gets the arrow and now it's someone else's turn to honk. She starts into the intersection before she even looked up from her phone. People like this make my blood boil. She's going to murder someone. It was a weird driving day. I used to think my wife was crazy for not wanting me to ride motorcycles but I get it more and more over the years.

Either that dude is huge or those 500sm are downright adorable and I want one. What caused the lockup? Other than ktm things.

I don't speak Australian but I heard the guy on the troubled bike say something about a bolt it sounded like ![]()

Sounds like he put the caliper together wrong and it got misaligned and seized. Certainly the fact that he can roll the wheel about 120 degrees back and forth between where it sticks suggests some mechanical jam rather than, like, the pads being stuck.
|

|
He says in the video that he’a lost a bolt. So I guess the caliper is moving and causing the pad to jam against the disc or something? Why the gently caress you’d think it was rideable after identifying that issue I have no idea...

Yeah that really feels like a bolt backing out and jamming, or a wheel bearing cage exploding. As always, the steadfast Suzuki is there to give everyone a lift home after their bikes explode

Re: cheap rear end ktm supermoto setup These are still for sale from a dealer in Michigan offloading Alta poo poo: Front wheel: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Dirt-Bike-Wheel-3-5-x-17-Warp-9/202688506498 Rear wheel: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Warp-9-Racing-Wheel-Assembly-Rear-SM-4-25-x-17/202687516559 They are modern pattern KTM wheels. The only difference is the front wheel has the rotor spaced out an additional 7mm from the plane the KTM rotor would be in. Unfortunately non cush drive but still a screamin deal for new wheels.

Found the weirdest Harley I've ever seen in a parking garage yesterday. Tiny fuel tank, weird old shifting system, speedometer by left knee, all the things you expect on an old modified Harley.... Except it had dual disc front brakes.![]() ![]() ![]()

Are those Iron Cross decals/metal badges? Is this a Nazi bike?

Didn't Slavvy work on a Nazi cruiser owned by a Japanese guy who had no idea?

How do you even ride a bike with your arms over your head? My brain can't process.
