Eric, how could we forget KingsCustomCycles?!

This was my fav.....

I think the guy lives maybe 20 mins away from me. I've never met him but I wonder if he'd throw a punch at me if I introduced myself and told him I was a regular of this site, what do ya think?  ;)
He is in Brookston, north of Lafayette. I do not think He would punch you out. He left but came back.

I was just teasing about the punch, I'm in Monticello which is maybe 35 mins from Lafayette depending on what part of Lafayette I'm going to and 20 mins from Brookston.

If we really get lonely and miss him tragically, we can watch his riding skills here :

OMG!

The poise, the grace.

The finesse of riding style and effortless progress.

The accuracy of steering and precision of gear change.

The acuity of awareness and the laser-point positioning in the lanes.

The...........hang on, WTF was that?............Bugger, I fell off.

Shame the big galoot never learned to put his feet down safely when coming to stop... He looks Magilla the Gorilla on a 450  :o

'big galoot'

I don't even know what one of those is, so why am I rolling around pissing myself?

So funny, describes him perfectly ;D ;D ;D

You cannot be serious. he is all over the place. I think if I read the speedo right, he hit 60 hunting down a 450. Thak God the light turned Red, he would still be hunting him down.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

So....he was right.  The 450 is a faster quicker bike, as least when he's the one riding the 750!

Fender's dropped his bike? That's no good. Luckily it was only a fugly K7, (or K8, I can't look at one long enough to decide, their ugliness disgusts me so) or it'd be a much sadder occasion. Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

You beat me to it Steve.  That was my first thought.  It is easier for a 450 to be quicker than a 750 when the 450 is travelling 5mph faster than the 750 ;D

Okay time for some math. Two motorcycles leave the train station going the same direction at the same time. Rider A is a very competent rider with a skill set that would blow your mind. Rider B is his lady friend. How long does it take for rider A to drop his motorcycle.

Maybe it's time to give it a rest.  Some of you are like a bunch of teenage girls harassing and stalking the uncool girl in a twitter fight.  Instead of spending time trolling through old posts and videos poke your head out of the basement and do something out in the real world.
