    I still can't figure out a good way to take turns after watching that. You push the bike down when you turn? I used to do it riding dirt, but I forget. It must be more of an instinct thing and it just happens. It is more difficult with a street bike, right? Explain taking turns fast for me, thanks.

    But when we ride very fast motorcycles, we ride with immaculate sanity. We might abuse a substance here and there, but only when it's right. The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body. It is that simple: If you ride fast and crash, you are a bad rider. If you go slow and crash, you are a bad rider. And if you are a bad rider, you should not ride motorcycles.

    that's something i'd like to try on a naked 250.
    Yeah, but doesn't it look HELLA fun?

    That is not unlike the Buell Battletrax, but with a lot more corners.

    so who says we find a vacant parking lot, set up our own course and give it a whirl?

    i'm bringing my fiddy. i know i'd lose the z1k in some of those real tight circles.






    maybe big red would come along and give a lesson in wheelies, cause he's the coolest!
