Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

We're only 50 miles from the desert, so some will ride 10 months or so. I'm a backcountry skier and climber so I'm happy to park it and play in the snow.

 

Let's not leave out the sweet tow vehicle I had back then. That little TDI would pull that trailer with the 2 quads at 80 MPH np problem even up hill.

 

That's great

Now I'm digging through old pics...this was my '97 Taco

 

no turning back now, chopped off the license plate mount so no more bent plates




I will be cleaning up the cut after the season is over

 

Im installing L-track in the front of truck bed. Hoping to gain center tie downs so straps arent all criss-crossed.

Might try the foot peg tie downs at some point. But i cant decide if i like that very much yet

 

rainy day so i cleaned up the cut

 

Thats not bad at all. More than i can surprisingly unless you want to ride sub freezing. I like to board so a couple months of that would be fun.


I got to ride a 2019 300xcw tonight. What a blast. Felt so nimble. Feeling the pipe was exciting. I want one. Not sure if i could completely replace the 450f though. It doesnt have that same grunt but instead felt zippy.

 

Watched a harley rip a fat wheelie this afternoon. Couldnt believe it.

 

Harley guys have gotten a lot more crazy with wheelies and stunting in the last few years

 

I think its been more the influx of the younger riders getting into the harley scene
The stereotypical Harley guys are still there doing as they have always done
I would love to be able to do this personally as well

these guys are wild as well though, just couldn't bring myself to accept the amount of crashing involved to master this

That is my next project, a stunt Dyna. Problem is, they are the most expensive ride in the game by far. Base vehicle costs more (5k min) than a fully setup F4I or 636 (3-5K). Then you need new forks, engine upgrades, seat, controls, pegs, etc. It is a mess. Most of the people that show up to a ride on one are just flexing their money. Its average 10k to setup.

Since they are so heavy and gutless, they actually make really good burnout machines. When learning to wheelie on one, you will just do a burnout 9/10 till you learn to dump the clutch with a bounce AND a yank. Go to a harley stunt show sometime, it is 90% burnouts and drifting.

Sumo life for me. It makes it easy, just throw 17s and a handbrake on my dirtbike and you are good to go.

 

First dude has mad foot brake skills.

 

Exactly.Looks like fun but can’t bring myself to attempt. If it goes wrong too much money involved.

 

Some new grips on the dirt scooter

 

Miss my S1W. The ex gf...not so much.

 

They both look like the crazy kind of fun.

 

oh just do it!!!!
