does it make you feel better talking shit about me?

 

my heart is in doing stupid shit on the street, i've turned it way back since i've started racing but my 50% effort in the canyons still makes people think im fucking nuts.. spending so much time outta control has taught me a ton about control.

 

me being a squid on a superbike i built (front middle dude) listen to that R1 launch control.. led this race flag to flag

Did a job for this guy and he had 14 rzr1000 sent the info to a buddy of mine. Hes going to pick it up tonight got it for 9200$

 

bUT dOEs IT hAVe ABS?

 

I know nothing about these machines

 

I had a customer drop one off at my place for a couple days (turned into a couple weeks because he couldn't make time to come get it). I was building a tube bumper for it. They're a shit ton of fun. I had "test drive" it to make sure all the electronics were in working order before and after I worked on it.

 

i use to work for dragonfire racing as a fab/welder:

Pics of some the shit i welded:

This is so tempting! 2016 WR250r with 10 miles. Only thing holding me back right now is it is 450 miles away and my wife is 7 months pregnant.

Never done a wheelie, squids are total trash.
I've put 50k street/mtn miles on 2 sport bikes in full gear. 100k miles, I've seen it all and lost friends.
I normally silently judge and stay away from riders just based on how their TIRES look. I would listen to the guy with balls of rubber from edge to edge on both tires.

 

me in 2004, stock gearing, carb'd 02 r6 (going about 5mph)


me in 2017 with no ABS

 

Are you the green 98 avoiding the guy that lost the front?
Braking hard, with the rear tire off the ground, in a corner, avoiding accident. And no ABS. Inconceivable!

 

Not at all inconceivable and a great bit of braking skill to do it. I don’t think anyone has argued that ABS is better than skill, it’s just another option that can be of huge benefit when needed. A bike with ABS can do that same hard, controlled stop but a bike without ABS can’t prevent the wheels from locking up if you snatch the brakes too hard or the surface condition changes under you while braking.

 

No, it cant. I can out brake ABS users. ABS has actually almost made me crash.

 

I was being sarcastic. Amazing skill in that braking. 10% skill in the wheelie.lol

 

nah, guy on the ground that just tucked the front. 98 is my besty trying not to run me over. If he had ABS, he would have ran me over probably

this isn't very nice now...
honestly be real, riding wheelies is just another skill of being a good rider
some have the skill others don't
just like the ability to drop a knee properly
not everyone is a full package rider

bike control is everything, I think this is something we could all agree on...

 

i'd post my wheelie videos but admins would ban me. if you know how to navigate a person's youtube channel you'll figure it out.. i'll prolly get banned cause my youtube lol

 

I only do wheelies when I can.

yamaha wr250r is a great bike. The blue one in front is my wife’s WRR a few weeks ago.

 

Jesus go away for one day and miss an abs battle lol. I would never ride a bike with ABS but its different strokes for different folks I guess. Never been in a motorcycle accident and that includes on the non ABS dyna with a stupid long stopping distance that I've been riding for going on 17 years. WR450F Supermoto, 2002 Dyna, 2002 F4I. Sometimes I look at the newer bikes and recently owned one (FZ07). I love the non ABS, non TC, cable throttle bikes and won't change unless my bikes get stolen.
