Secretly satisfying when both clowns smack into a semi truck... YES!

But your desire for fun is INSIGNIFICANT next to the will of the fatherland!

Its not our fault if you rode a peice of "crumb" bike and had to fix it yourself or couldn't afford to fix it yourself... and genius.. naked bikes ARE sport bikes without fairings... jacka$$ so you are sitting in the same position. Go somewhere else with your crappy rants you freak. Also, stunting is fun, who are you to say what people should and shouldn't do on their bikes? bite me.

It's the fact that the stunting is done on public roads or to impress chicks that annoys me, not the concept itself.
If I were at the track I'd probably pull a few stupid stunts for the fun of it, but this pencil-compensation thing is what I find so irritating.

Anyway, in my experience, the nakeds have a more relaxed riding position than the full-fledged racing bikes.

All I can do is shake my head... why does everything have to do with pencil compesation around here anyway? haha... If yer single you should do whatever you can to impress chicks in my opinion

) If a girl wants a guy that can stunt... good for him

what do you use to pick up chicks? I can tell it's not your charm.

Does this mean that if we don't ride a naked/standard, that we are posers. Oh well, at least I have a nice bike to pose with. (yes I ride it too, it didn't get 12,000 miles on it by going back and forth to the poser nights.

You also happen to ride a bike that is commonly (read: incorrectly) placed in teh same light as n00blets who are just out to get a cool bike. Props for going against the "grain" and actually riding that busa (also props 'cause I know I wouldn't be able to handle it

)

On that note, Tim (the guy who runs the Pashnit road map site), rides a 'busa, and has put 10s of thousands of miles on it riding every road in the west. So to say that someone riding a faired (is that even a word?) bike is a poser is, as already noted, a pretty close-minded opinion.

i use my bike both for fun and transpo.

but if it's raining, i'd rather borrow a car. stupid accident left me carless since mid feb this year.

not that i can't handle it on the bike (i've already ridden in freezing cold, hard rain, hail and that's even in a twisty mountain) it's just not fun riding in bad riding weather.

kinda ironic that i crashed on a sunny day.
