Topic: squids, especially the rich, entitled ones, make me laugh

[greasy j]

and daddy pissed and fussed at me out in the yard yesterday because i laughed at his little darling then called the police. i told him to ef off and to get a clue, that i did the kid a favor, maybe a nice big reckless driving ticket will slow his ass down some, though i doubt it.

dude, no kidding

#$%*s like this buy liter+ bikes, rip around like crazy, get hurt, then say 'motos are dangerous'

no, guys like this are dangerous.

I started out on a cb200 when I was 16. passed my moto test on it easy. everyone else there failed on their big bikes. one guy on a brand new ducati got pist after he failed and roared off on a wheelie. got pulled over immediately. dummy.

I used to ride that 200 from seattle to vancouver bc every weekend. with my skateboard on my back!

americans are obsessed with bigger. size is everything. 1st question always- displacement size?

big bikes defeat the purpose of having a bike in my opinion. guys like this need to go back to their SUV's.

That just goes to show you some things are genetic.

I wish they came out with smaller bikes in the States, but they argue that 'no one will buy them'.  Damn shame.

Seems to me that Gixxer just attracts stupid.

I was on a CBR board awhile back and there was a long discussion on 600 vs. 1000.  good read, most of the guys claimed that a 600 would beat a 1k in twisties, and has more than enough power and handling.

Here, post one.

Im still amazed to this day that im still alive really...First actual street bike was a CBR900RR that had been opened up to 950cc. Granted the bulk of my experience was from dirt bikes starting down at a 50cc yamaha then moving up to a suzuki RV125 dual sport..then on to an RM250 followed by a CR500. then from the CR to the CBR900. Mind you i kept in mind this was a far more powerful bike then i was used to when i had it. Still kinda overpowered for me at first. after a couple seasons of riding i got comfortable with the machine. Figured ok...i survived being a 1K class rider time to get something newer...traded the CBR on an R1...had that bike less then 5 months because i got into an accident with a buddies R6....yea..thats right..the bike that put me into the ICU was a 600 not a 1K. Anyways....sold the R1 while i was recovering from that wreck. Now heres the kicker....i had a sort of system in place to ensure some rich punk didnt get it. It was too much bike for a newb especially considering i had some mods done to it to make it more powerful then stock. (young and stupid with too much cash myself those days). anyways in the ads i had for it i had the disclaimer "For Experienced Riders only!!!!!" None the less some rich daddy managed to bypass system i had in place (which was friends that i rode with when i had the 900 and the R1 so they knew what skill level would be needed for the R1 and would refuse to allow anyone without it to contact me personally on its sale). I suspect he used his own experience and said it was his sons to get past that. Anyways...rich punk got bike...was in morgue in less then a month an a half later...pulling a wheelie down a highway and ran head on into a Mack hauling a load of oil. Anyways...that was long winded i know. I now have the Interceptor which is a 750 and its more then enough machine for me. I know what can happen when you outride your skill level..i have the replacement parts in my knee to remind me.

Haha! I took the motorcycle endorsement test on the bike I have now (76 SS, it was my dad's at the time). I got one mark off for putting a foot down on the u-turn, and passed with a good score. Little did I know that a lot of bikes weigh less than 500 lbs! I still think these bikes are heavy as hell, top-heavy, especially.

On a related note, I took my driver's license test in a Chevy Caprice station wagon, one of the old, huge models. Our nickname for it was the "grey whale". Passed the parallel parking and everything.

I do think learning on older, heavier, underpowered machines helps one in driving newer, lighter, faster models. I also still ride an old steel Schwinn bicycle. That fuKKer weighs a ton, too. So if I ever got a new bike, I would tear it up, right? Sheesh, I'm showing my inner Luddite, now.

i took my drivers license test back in 1984 in a 72 caddy hearse. imagine parallel parking that monster.

what's more important..... were you in the front or the back of the vehicle

[bucky katt]

i drove a hearse for about 5 years. of all the different cars i've had it is one of the favourites. it was pearl grey with purple, blue, silver flames and torq thrust wheels. that thing would carry 6 people AND all the ski gear when we went up to stowe for skiing.
