KRONOLOGIK

Recommended Posts

I know it's late in the season but I've been saving for this thing for 7 month's now and I'm not waiting till the spring to buy it. It's the Honda CBR954RR. The world's best-selling open-class sportbike, redesigned for 2002 with aggressive styling, lighter weight, lazer-sharp handling and a bigger, more powerful 954cc engine. Put it all into one package, and what do you get? The best balanced open-class sportbike the world has ever seen.

I don't give a fuck about statistics, I know the risk's of riding a motorcycle. I could be rollin' allong in my four door Ford and some fob could run a red light and T-bone me. A fuckin' Terrorist could fly a plane into my fuckin' building, etc. Life's short, live it!

My little brother races bmx.... the track that he races at is kinda out in the middle of no where. It's an ABA sponsored track, anyway, on race nights alot of times theres these street bike guys that will come and sit around on the long stretch of road right next to the race track. They'll do wheelies and such, and haul ass back and forth on the road. Well, one day, my brother witnessed this happen, a guy was, for whatever reason, not paying attention.... he was going pretty fast. Well, there was this other guy, who was just sitting on his bike, he was not paying attention either, or else he would not have been sitting in a place where he coulda gotten ran over, you can guess what happened. The guy going fast ran into the guy sitting on his bike. The both left in the meat wagon. Turns out, the guy that was hauling ass, he flew so far and so fast, that his knee cap actually came off, and flew into the grass by the side of the road somewhere...... it's a joke that everytime me and my brother drive to the race track to say, "Yeah, there's a knee cap off in the grass somewhere over there...." and point in an unsure manner.

 

I think the guy was going somewhere close to 40 mph, but that's all it took.

Haha, yeah, that Valkyrie is as bad ass as it gets. Will they actually come out with it, or is it still a concept bike? Honda rolled out a couple of Valkyrie based concept beauts a while back, I think the one you put up was called the T2 by then...
