RumPuncher Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 okay.... it's on! I just booked a weekend training course and road test with a buddy of mine. I'll be riding in no time! LOVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.C.Shadow Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I wanna get a bike. I'm 6'7", 250 lbs. Can I ride anything but a Harley? I could buy a sick fucking car at the same price. Ideally I'd want a 2006 YZF-R1 I dunno if I'd look rediculess on it or if it would be comfortable at any sort of distance. Any of you have tall friends with bikes? What do they ride? -Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzZy Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I have friends that are 6'4" and ride GSXR 1K's and don't look funny unless they ride stand-up wheelies......then they look hilarious. You should be fine on the R1, its a nice bike and its a nice size as well....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already been plotting the map for a hammock camping road trip. I might try to hammock camp my way down to Key West to check the pirate museam and drink at the same bars as Hemmingway.

SteveAustin Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 yeah...my hometown newspaper. If you were born and raised here and then moved to canuckland...that would be too weird. I'm guessing not...so who do you think he worked for first? We are talking about Earnest...right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumPuncher Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 I just know he worked for the paper in the city where I live. He was there a long time before he was an acredited writer and apparently had some long standing fued with the editor. ... I just looked at the timeline of his life. Your city in 1917 and my city in 1920. There we go! oh and steve.... could you please write you whole take on countersteering for me? I can do it with a lot of leaning on a bike, but I'd like to hear it from you for a motorbike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumPuncher Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 I have to sit here at my desk looking out the window at this: it's one of these: oh well... I can keep dreaming. tomorrow is a big bike show... I'm excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do it with a lot of leaning on a bike, but I'd like to hear it from you for a motorbike. Quoted post dude. I don't know. My first bike only bad 50 hp and I never really did any agressive riding with it. The flicking the bike to the opposite side of the turn and then taking a hard edge turn aspect is something that has pretty much always come natural to me. You can blame that on all the bicycle racing I've done over the years. I haven't done any of the really hardcore strictly countersteering through clover leafs on the duc yet...mainly because it's too fucking cold here still. I've only ridden it a few times. I'm still trying to get used to it. Like I've mentioned before...my ex-racer buddy Lou is gonna take me out and hook me up with some tips...once the weather and streets get cleaned up. Waaaay too much sand on them right now. I can give you a holler afterwards and see if I can explain it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
