  • Motorcycles and related paraphernalia

    Most every forum I've participated in has some sort of an ongoing motorcycle discussion. I think it's safe to assume that everyone here drives, but do you ride as well? If so, what?

    I took the first 2 my brother took the last one. All on a trip from seattle to reno/tahoe to the bay and back. 2200 miles, 6 days.

          Wow, that sounds like an amazing trip and the scenery is beautiful.

          I'm too old and decrepit to ride a sportbike for that long. I can only handle a couple of hours before I'm beat. Kudos to you guys!

          How does your brother like the Duc?

            We got stopped for 87.5 in a 50 zone, wrote for 5 over. Hella legit cop, asked alot about the bikes and the trip so we took the time to chat at he was nice to us.

            My brother loves the 999R, I on the other hand **** it, He's also got a monster. I sold my ducati because every mile on a ducati is a dollar in repair and maintence, we work on our own shit and its still expensive. Besides my GSXR and CBR keep up just fine with the Italians.

                Yeah, I play scooters, haha.

                Here's me last fall at a beach race in Wildwood NJ:

                My bike's a '07 KTM 144SX.

                ..and I bought this last year, to tinker with it's a '99 XR50:


                I've since added a stiffer shock, +2" swingarm, new tires, billet throttle tube, handlebar risers with full size MX bars, and a few other things. It's a hoot to get 4 or 5 people on pitbikes and screw around in the back yard.

                  Don't give up on the dream, just be ready to learn to do the maintence yourself. The monster is an amazingly fun machine to ride... Just every 3000 having to do a valve adjustment is lame to me. I got 14K on my gsxr and all I have to do is change oil and filters, and burn fuel and rubber.

                    Yeah, I do all the work on my e30, but every 3k is kinda a PITA

                        I haven't experienced any maintenance or repairs yet, mainly because I'm a fair-weather rider and it's too damned cold here. It just sits in the basement:

                        The 50 is seriously cool (not that the KTM is a slouch).

                            Yes, that is exceptionally cool. The company behind the technology is named OSMOS and they've even built a car using an F1 chassis. Here's a tiny image from their site:
