prateek Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 So, I'm gonna take a guess that we have all been out riding because the last post in here was from April 5th? Page 8 people, I mean I really had to go back! This past weekend was great. I got to hang out and ride with friends I haven't seen in years, partake in the fine refreshments available, and enjoy two days of fantastic sun and riding weather! I haven't been able to ride as much as I want to lately, but just wanted to post this pic from last night. What bike do you have? Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 The name Harley Davidson wasn't enough? Just kidding Prateek, I've got a 2003 100th Anniversary V-ROD Custom. I'll start taking more pics as time goes on. Weather gets so messed up here I can usually ride into November. That 140 on the speedo looks good though, doesn't it? Quote
prateek Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 That 140 on the speedo looks good though, doesn't it? It sure does. Have you ever been even near that speed? Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Just got back from 4 days of riding in England, been to the Bulldog Bash. Man I have never seen that much mud in ages, cleaning everything on! Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 After a three hour cleaning last weekend, thank God I don't have too much chrome, I took my toy out for a cruise and took a few pics for you guys. Enjoy. The rest can be found in my flickr. 2003 100th Anniversary Custom VRSCA (V-ROD) with Vance & Hines Powershots. Quote
Milan Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Well...not bad...I guess... WOOOOW, Awesome, man! Quote
Big Cam Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 Well,it Wasatch fun summer, but tonight we haves frost advisory so I'm afraid my summer is over. My bike and snowblower will likely be trading spots in my garage very soon. Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 Sorry to hear that Big Cam. I'll shed a tear for you when I go cruising later tonight. Quote
peterab Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Sorry to hear that Big Cam. I'll shed a tear for you when I go cruising later tonight. I think this year I may finally get my bike back on the road, and since we've had the first couple of weeks of nice spring weather it could be really soon now :-) I'll think of all you people with winter climates that don't allow riding for the next few months.

Big Cam Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Sorry to hear that Big Cam. I'll shed a tear for you when I go cruising later tonight. You are an evil man. Quote
Barteck Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I have Suzuki DRZ-400. I love supermoto. Quote
Big Cam Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I have Suzuki DRZ-400. I love supermoto. Very good, any pictures of the beauty? You'll find in this thread it doesn't matter what you ride, as long as you ride. I'm a bit of a supermoto fan myself. Quote
prateek Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 My new dreambike: I might get one if I feel like getting an M class license. Quote
Big Cam Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 My new dreambike: I might get one if I feel like getting an M class license. linky no worky. but judging from the URL it's a Can Am. Quote
prateek Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 linky no worky. but judging from the URL it's a Can Am. How does it not work? It works for me Well, here's another picture If this doesn't work, I think there's something wrong with your browser or computer. Quote
Big Cam Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 How does it not work? It works for me Well, here's another picture CUT IMAGE If this doesn't work, I think there's something wrong with your browser or computer. Yup, that one worked, ans it's exaclty what I thought it was. I hate to break it to you but that's not a motorcycle, it's a trike. I had to say it. I think they are cool, but I would never want one, I think it would take the fun out of riding. That's just me though. Quote
angel1802 Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 Wow i couldn't have imagined that so many lego fans were biker too or liked it !! Here's my ex... I had to break up with her to come here !! But i'm waiting the day i'll be able to buy an other one !! I miss her so much :cry_sad: I wanted to post a vidéo of it but unfortunately i don't know how Voilà Quote
Big Cam Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 Looks like fun, hopefully a bike can be in your near future. As for me, we have snow scheduled for tomorrow and its raining now. I might try to get it washed before I put it away. Quote
Milan Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 My bike is ready for a winter hibernation But, it was a great summer! Quote
Siegfried Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Can I join the club now? I'll post better photos after. It's a CBR-125R; not powerful I know but exciting enough for someone with no experience! Quote
Big Cam Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Can I join the club? Image snip* I'll post better photos after. It's a CBR-125R; not powerful I know but exciting enough for someone with no experience! As the Guy officially not in charge. Of the motorcycle tag, of course you can! I'm actually jealous of your cbr-125. In the US bikes that small were not available until just a year or two ago. I'd lobe a 125 for putting around on and also for getting great gas mileage. My bike may go fast but I can barely pull 40miles per gallon. Welcome aboard, and keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up. Quote
Big Cam Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Looks like someone already got you hooked up with the moto tag. What will Shadows say when he sees your ghost tag gone already. Quote
Milan Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 CBR125 is a great learner bike. it is very narrow, so I didn't have that secured feeling couple times when I rode it. Have fun with it! Quote
peterab Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) Can I join the club now? I'll post better photos after. It's a CBR-125R; not powerful I know but exciting enough for someone with no experience! Oh yeah you can join. It may not be as fast in a straight line as bigger bikes, but it's plenty powerful enough to get you killed. I assume NSW has a learners course like Vic which is partly designed to scare the appropriate level of respect into you. The first time you completely megabluck up and come off will also give you a large amount of respect, but if you have the right attitude you may never need to learn in that way, or if you are a least tending in the right direction you'll be at a low enough speed to avoid too serious an injury. If this sounds a bit paranoid it's not un-intentional. I've come off my bike once when it was moving, it was 3 weeks after getting my P plates, and was all my own fault, mostly due to inexperience. Luckily I was able to wash off a lot of speed before I came off, but it still hurt, scared me, and wrecked an $800 helmet. I've been very cautious since but have ridden solidly almost every day for about ten years without incident. In fact I've been told several times I ride like a girl. One of the people who told me that no longer rides at all, and walks with a limp, and has restricted movement in his shoulder and spine. He was pretty confident his rally driving skills and fast reactions would keep him out of trouble. His poor judgement and risk assessment didn't. He was an aggressive car driver, and that doesn't translate well to motorbike riding. </ concerned fatherly tone> Have fun on your new toy. I try and approach all my riding from a point of view of I'm in no hurry to get to the end of my journey because I'm enjoying the ride, so I can just sit back and avoid all the stressed car drivers, and if it takes a bit longer, that's a bit more enjoyment. Keep the sticky side down. ETA: oh and watch where you put your feet when you're holding up your bike (looking at the mud in the picture) there's nothing more embarrassing than falling over at the lights because your big motorbike boots have no grip in oil patches. Well there is one thing and thats falling off your bike and knocking it over while parked outside a cafe with your motorbike friends. Not that I would know anything about either of those events Edited November 4, 2010 by peterab Quote
