Sometime when you talk to Kawi riders, and they go on about their Zeds and H-1s & H-2s, and they say they were the 1st Superbikes, I agree with them, just to let them dig themselves in deeper. ;)

I rev it sky high every time I go under a bridge or through a tunnel to hear that lovely sound.

I also like to gun it in first coming into my gravel driveway. Kicking the rear end out is fun.

On traffic free roads, I'll slalom the dashed center line.  Feels cool.   :)

Oh, and I make it a point to kick start my bike in front of those that don't have that option.  Childish I know, but I like to rub it in for some reason.   :)

How's it feel to do that and see an epic fail looking back?  ;D

I scraped peg during my motorcycle test... the officer was not amused  :-[

When going down a hill I would let go of the handlebars and adjust my helmet and tug my cuff zippers... dunno why  ::)

All of the above...

And accelerate to redline in 1st gear just to let off the throttle and hear the pipes sing. :D

I just figured out I could do that too  :D

I sometimes turn around and lean over to have a good look at what the chain is doing. It's really neat to see at speed.

...also, when you see some kid crossing the street slothily infront of you with his pants down around his knees, turn your head to the side and drop'er down a gear (looking out the side of your helmet at him). You find out really quick that they are more aware of thier situation than they try to appear  ;D

Getting better at power wheelies but can't seem to clutch it up and to be honest not really sure I want to. The most fun is burn outs but I am broke and can't afford new tires on a regular basis.

I did see a guy almost dump his Boss Hoss tonight trying to lay a patch...damn that was funny!

 ug, I hate those bikes, the ones I've seen are one speed, with a chuga-chug 350.

I downshift 2 gears and open it up when I'm coming up on stupid high school kids that walk down the street, and won't get out of the way.... they move

not sure which action is less mature ???
everything I say is pure speculation and
I have no idea what I'm talking about  ._.

I'm a 60 year old on a bike I bought new in 1971 - everything I do is childish - and I love doing it! ;D And then on the GL1800 I love baiting "hot" car drivers, they have no idea.
Cheers,
Cliff.

I like to bait teenagers in ricers.

Leaning far forward in a tight curve and gunning it in 1st or 2nd gear always leaves a nice wide black patch and a whisp of smoke.

Running it up to about 4500-5000 rpm and dropping the clutch for a quick getaway.

Wheelies.

Burnouts.

Donuts.

Stoppies.

And apparently the dreaded muffler ejector for the serious tailgater.

Sometimes, when at front of other traffic stopped at red lights where I can read incoming traffic's light, I'll shrug. cross my arms (like "I Dream of Jenie") and nod just as light turns, and ride... G

i run solid core plug wires so theres alot of interference with things like cellphones. i see people with a phone glued to their ear i will get close-ish to their vehicle and rev it. i've been told by some folks that the cheaper cellphones actually drop calls when i do that.
