The funny thing is the guy never seems to get the message and posted videos of him riding poorly. Get this - the guy thought one of the most important things was to get his knee down. How do I lean more he would ask. Glad we don't have a guy like that around here.
lol
outside of dangerous stunts i see frequently while im in traffic commuting (they do make me smile though)
the strangest thing ive seen in a long long while is that video of VX.
I have never seen anyone ride like that, that was fuggin rediculous.

Well I cant say I see alot of showing off. But I can confess out of my own stupidity, I was stopped at a red light and my cell phone started to vibrate, not even thinking, just pulled it out hit it against my helmet, then realized how stupid that probably looked to the guy behind me so I hung up on whoever called me.
Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't have any film

I've almost done that a few times... I can just imagine myself doing that and dropping my phone while the light turns green then dropping my bike trying to pick up the phone... oh the things to look forward to.
I tipped my duc over the other day yanking the oilpan (that wasn't quite short enough to fit under the bike) out from under it right as one of my hot neighbors was walking out to her car infront of me snapped my clutch lever right in half.

Check out my [url=http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/BBS/viewtopic.php?t=5844]blog[/url] for the latest on my little project.
A couple weeks ago I went for a ride with my sister, her boyfriend, my brother and a friend of mine. On the way home we decided to stop at a Wawa for a drink/snack. My brother was the first one ready to leave and our bikes weren't even started yet so he goes rolling around the parking lot... just as we mount our bikes we hear WAHHHHHHHH and see nothing but smoke... he was doing a big circle burnout in the parkinglot like a mad man... it had everyone around us shaking their heads and giving us dirty looks.
WoW, I cant belive the coincedence in this posting today. So I read this from work and thought i had seen quite a few of the crazy things that bikers do that were mentioned.. On my way home i pass the street where the police station is. While sitting at that light at that corner, i heard the sound of a sport bike but could not see it anywhere. The next three lights are litterally 200 feet apart. By the next light, this somewhat beetup sport bike, a Honda of some description, was next to me checking out my "old mans ride". So, for the next three lights he hit the throttle hard but becuase the lights were so close he couldnt get out of 2nd gear and he couldnt shake me on my rumbling Dragoon. Then,, after the third light things open up and there is near a mile before the next. He started in keeping with me and then took a quick look at me and popped a wheely that seemed to last forever. He actually changed lanes, although I am not sure if he meant to or even could have had he wanted to. I thought of this very post. I am a cruiser so thought nothing but what an idiot he was. It seems that an unmarked police cruiser had the same idea becuase two miles down the road, there was Mr Police man making his intros with Mr wheely. The cost of trying to impress me and it didnt even work.
I did the wave and a toot of my 139Db horn to wish him well as i passed and continued on my way. Life is too fast, i needn't be when i am just out cruising.
I have seen enough in the many years of riding to fill three or four posts. One thing i have learned is that there is an ""O Ring" for every seat".
Cheers and please drive safely.
