Thirteen? About five inches long. Three or four stitches are subcutaneous and the dissolving kind. Yeah it really wasn't bad. Just a small but deep scratch. It seriously didn't even hurt or require pain killers and today I was out riding my bicycle with no pain at all. Kindof amazing considering you could see my muscles moving inside when i flexed my foot.
A bunch of flicks from the track day are here.
You can even see my buddy riding the buell i crashed. He's doing the dirt bike, throwing the bike down into the corner thing. Not the best at hanging off.
No flicks of me have been uploaded yet. Kind-of a bummer. I wasn't out every session so maybe he didn't get me.
In all the bike's okay. We'll be streetfightering it shortly.

what a cunt
You mean the girl that hit me?
Or this?

Yeah she's got ins. But things just take time. Ten days for the police report to go through then insurance can handle it. I'm just eating stored food until then.
Hopefully track day pics come out. I'll post some if they do.

Hey Fist
Had a track day at sonoma raceway on monday. Melted my street tires to mush. Gotta run track tires. A fully loaded track day with well over a hundred guys, maybe 40 on the track at a time. Not a single incident.
THE VERY Next day on my way to work some girl in a jetta tried to make a light and bolted left from a complete stop. She didn't even see me coming. First rain of the season and boom. Tucked the front and my face went into her door. I would've been fine but my leg caught a foot peg. Check out the new Vaj, I was armored up except for wearing jeans and over pants. Its unlikely my race suit would've saved me.
Squeemish warning
It sucks because I was riding a Buell S3T. OEM saddle bags are absolutely irreplaceable.
Not mine but near identical. Its got an electric purple frame though. Front fairing and saddle bags are toast.

Some1, you can rent bikes out here. Like $150 a day for a new multistrada.
Track day this Monday. I'll bump this thread.

Oh i built myself a proper mechanic's garage for about a grand. Only thing I can't do is change my own tires, but that's coming. $600 no-mar tire changer, then make up some of that money by doing mount and balances for the kids in the area. With my new job I stil have a bit of spare time to built bikes out of junkers and teach kids how to rebuild forks, adjust valves, flush their coolant and whatnot.

Cool dude. Come ride out to the bay. Think: top 5 roads in the country, laguna seca, sears point, thunderhill, streets of willow, yosemite, joshua tree. On that bike you CAN do 16 hour days. Mine my legs will hurt after 5.
I got myself asspacked by another rider recently so I may be getting paid off or something. Everything works but the radiator's a bit leaky, the forks are a bit leaky, the brake's a bit squishy, and the front disc drags on the caliper a bit too much.
Also some road rash on the tank and frame, so I doubt that they'll buy me some new parts. We shall see. I had a couple trips up to tahoe planned. I was gonna rent a DH mtb, ride the resorts then do some more motorbiking.

damn... finna be able to log into this place.
So I'm looking to get a bike and i would like to hear your opinion on this piece
"1975 Honda CB360T Runs good, all original (paint too) except for pipes. New tires. 07251 miles & Classic plates. Clear title in hand."
obviously, it's not only like new but it's a trophies winnah! Buyer ask for 3200. What price should I start with? or any advice really.
It's a bike. Buy it. Don't expect the bike to last long. Don't expect to make any money back off of it. You should be more concerned with what you're wearing while you're learning. BE THE NOOB that gears up from head to toe. Full face helmet, armored jacket, armored pants, armored gloves, and armored boots. YOU WILL FUCKING CRASH, and when you do you'll either tap out or be well enough to get back on. Motorcycling is, for 99% of the population, A BAD IDEA.
Also, Van-whatsyourface, since I just disabled PM's because i never log into 12oz, I'll respond to you here. Your question was basically "My bike needs the carbs cleaned and rejetted and the sprockets changed, how much can I sell my bike for?"
Dude, cleaning carbs are fucking easy. Working on bikes is fucking easy. Hit me up on email and I'll walk you through the process. Changing chains and sprockets is part of life. You can't sell a bike every time you need regular maintenance. Would you sell a bicycle when it needs new tires? FUCK NO. If you want to sell your bike that's one thing. I'll buy it off you. But knowing your motorcycle INTIMATELY where you understand the physics of why everything works is part of the joy of motorcycling.
Go online. Find a sprocket and chain kit from vortex. Drop a tooth from the front and up two in the rear. It'll cost you $130 and your bike will be BETTER than when you first had it. If you dont have your tools start buying those too. If you dont have everything yet just SIT ON IT. Buy yourself a trickle charger and keep the battery plugged in so it doesnt die. No reason to just flip a perfectly good bike because you're too lazy to do basic work.
AND YES, i just called you out on here instead of in PM's.

I logged in yesterday for the first time in a long time and it seemed like there were a decent chunk of folks posting again, so I thought I'd see how bumping this thread would go.
If you're still on the ounce, and you're still riding, post up what you've been up to, what you've learned. This "motorcycling season" has been a bumper crop. I've seen so many wrecks and were close to at least two fatalities in the last two months. I'm having a hard time feeling good about the sport.

FAGGGGGGGGGGGG
Congrats fist. If only you knew how life would turn out after banging that whale.

Who thinks he's gonna be scared straight? 10:1 he dedicates a mixtape to trying to get into heaven. 3:1 he OD's in the next 5 years.
In any case my interest is Wayning.
