Reading these threads are a great way to make me depressed.  Anyone have a used ex250 motor?

Ripoff posted:That's an awesome video, although the wind noise is annoying as gently caress. With an increase in speed it takes less movement of the handlebars. Also other inputs like like pushing on the pegs and moving your body help. It seems like those who are being passed are looking behind them a lot. No wonder they are getting passed! I've never been on a track, so tell me, are they being overly cautious?

I can barely see the handlebars move, it just looks like the bike flicks from side to side without any steering effort.

mutt2jeff posted:My girlfriend put together a cool little video for school of my friends and I at Moses Lake this weekend. Assignment was music video less than 60 seconds, I think it came out really well. I am in the red Thor jersey. The guys I was with are both big motox riders, and it was really cool to ride with people better than me, pushed my skill level way up. I just have to work on my control in the air and I will really be ready to launch myself off stuff. Also, paddle tires rock. drat, that looks awesome. Good job on the editing, too.

 Highway 1 west of Malibu. My friend and I rode down to the coast from Seattle to LA in August. I'll post a thread once my apartment gets internet and I get my friend's photos.  Somewhere north of San Francisco on Highway 1. GI Joe jobs fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Aug 31, 2008 |

mutt2jeff posted:I do the same thing, bought the HF the beginning of summer. I dont balance my wheels, but what you do is put the axel through it, and set it on a couple jack stands. The heavy side makes itself immediately know by rotating the wheel until its on the bottom. Ah yea, that is the method I used, too. I was wondering if he had a slicker setup (i.e bearings, a level, lasers...)

So I was browsing a local riders forum and came across this: His description of the crash: river boy posted:braking and turning, with the rear skipping slightly but not bad, I determined that I wasn't going to make the corner, and rode off the road. Since I was still leaned over, the bike went down as soon as the front tire touched dirt, and basically cart-wheeled down a steep (like 70-degree or more) rock bank into the river about 15 feet below. I tumbled behind it, head over heels, and landed upright with one foot in the river Here's the thread with more pics

Silver posted:Crossposting from the POV/Helmet cam thread. Looks like a fun day, freeway riding can be entertaining. The way you edited that threw me off, but it was nice skip the boring stuff. Content:  My buddy's SV. I was trying a fisheye effect with photoshop but it didn't quite get the result I was going for. The area we normally ride is being logged, bringing tons of trucks and gravel onto the road. I slid the front wheel yesterday on a wet/gravel spot. Its frightening, but not freezing up inspires confidence... ......................  I rode up to Mt. Baker, Washington a week ago. Getting there was fun, but I forgot it's still winter and the mountains are cold. Really cold. I pushed my luck and dumped it on some ice. I'm thinking of going without the fairing once I can afford new lights. I got this shot of Baker though, so it was kinda worth it:  GI Joe jobs fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Mar 8, 2010 |

Think if I pull the front seat I can fit an xr100?  VVV Ah... Try increasing the exposure (it's too dark) and adjust the white balance. The composition is good though!

At first I thought he was getting jumped. Some people hate motorcycles, especially when they're squidding on the freeway. Someone road raging isn't surprising. Watching that video, my instinct was to run (before he was identified as cop).

Knee out would let you use the rear brake in a right hand turn. Does the rear brake get used much in supermoto?

 I went exploring this weekend. The Old Cascade Highway (Map) is cutoff to traffic from a washout, but there is a foot bridge. I rode across, but only made it a mile before snow. Some bird gave me a thumbs down but I didn't catch it on film

quote:Based off American muscle car push rod engine design, Motus hopes to tap into the strong hobbiest car culture here in the United States, and offer a motorcycle that gear heads can dive into and wrench on with familiarity. So heavy and out of date The "You can work on it yourself!" line seems to imply that it will need work from the factory. That dyno run sounds amaing though. I wonder how much that thing weighs.
