Noststic, ride. I stopped for over 15 years, denied myself and became miserable. Thought I was being safe and responsible, no. Purchased a new Speed Triple last year, wonderful motorcycle, complete package, can't say enough about the motor. Warning, this winter purchased a beat up RC 51 track bike.....still cheaper than the Porsche addiction!

I hate to admit it, but I was really hoping for a big payoff at the end where he crashes. Those assclowns will not live long riding like that.

Yea. I have to admit I was waiting for it the whole video.

I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before Darwin gets his due.

I'm not sure. I thought it might be ACH on some parts. If it is, it's only a matter of time before they cause the road to be closed while they scrap up the pieces.

I stopped riding/owning motorcycles about 20 years ago when my boys were both toddlers. I didn't want to influence them to ride. Now the boys are on their own, and last year I bought a BMW K1200RS. I am loving it! I don't ride often, just put about 1500 miles on it last year. This summer I'm planning a couple overnighters on the road in the Sierras and along the coast. It's a blast. I'm nowhere near the knee-dragging fool I was in my youth, but still enjoy a spirited ride on a good-handling, quality bike.

Hell, I wish I had a son to ENCOURAGE to ride. I tried to hook my daughters, but they grew into typical teen girls who haven't touched their MX bikes in over two years.

I vote Yes! It's time for another one.
I'm currently in the process of selling this bike:



Buying one of these:




That I'll spend the summer modding to look similar to this:

I say get it but be careful...

Im thinking about getting a bike too...every time I sit in traffic on the way up to the Valley or Hollywood...I think about how cool it would be to just zip by on a bike.

everyone i know who has one has dumped it though.....

serious questions, worth the risk?

Good news for me. I've wanted one since they came out in 1993.

I had an epiphany (rant?) while stuck in traffic last Wednesday on the Ventura not-so-Freeway. I recall thinking: Traffic's so bad, somebody better have died for this mess. Turned out it was just spilled gravel, though. I called my wife and told her I need a beater commuter bike. Just as soon as I figure out how to rearrange the garage to fit it in.

Yes. It is a lot of fun. One day I'll own a dirt bike. I would not ride in traffic. I ride a bicycle and am staying out of traffic with it as well.

Yeeess dmoolenaar, black is the fastest. Have modded it up somewhat with tail tidy, Rizoma mirrors, billet grips, fluid reservoir, Pazzo shorties, belly pan, seat cowl all black of course and M4 carbon can. Motor pulls like a Missouri mule. Great in all kinds of traffic.

Nice Nighttrain. I have a fiend with one, and he has drag bars on it, its almost painful to ride.
