Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I employ college aged youths and love learning new slang from them and using it 100% incorrectly in the most dad ways possible.

 

haha thats fair! ive never done that and im 30... now a buddy of mine who is a couple years older then me uses it a lot lol.


last night thou we were hanging out with a buddy of mine and he got this game system thing that allows you to change the boot up screen. so he had a load of old game console boot ups and me and him were just enjoying messing with it while my gf looked at us like what are you guys so excited about ive never seen those boot up screens or sounds...

 

completely evil lmao

 

this is 100% the right thing to do

 

Youll pay for comfort and safety imo. Im currently using leatt hard shell knee guards. Dont wear elbow pads lately but i have some leatt 3df ones when i do.

 

i was looking at the leatt brand. not sure if ill truly need them on this adventure palooza but doesnt hurt to have them just incase.


for sure getting those padded pants thou.... that 2x4... i mean seat is awful lmao.

 

I didnt hear FOMO until our friends were using it talking about their kids.

Lol. Just an emoji to say hot/awesome. I use it and im 35.

If you want cheaper options the fox titan stuff may be in that alley. Im not sure what their pricing is anymore though

 

Yeah buddy, I have wanted one since I rode my buddies Alta. Those were sweet! They got bought out by Harley Davidson of all people…I guess they were wanting the tech but never did anything with it.

I was waiting for a road legal version, once it came out I threw down a deposit.

They don’t replace my larger bike, and I kept my KTMs, but to be honest the quietness along with the insane power is just too much fun.

Rare Clutch makes a clutch for it too, but I think this will be something that is added to the next gen.

 

interesting ill give it a look. i run a lot of fly racing stuff but idk how the guards are tbh.

 

You were talking about tank bags…I got extra gear that is sitting and needs a home! I don’t need flow for it really, if it can help someone out.

 

ahh i gotcha i did end up getting a tank bag for the tracer but that bike has been bought back by the dealer since i never could register the vehicle.. so now i also have a tank bag i cant use haha.


atm we just have a klx300r and xr150l

 

My contribution regarding MC's. This was me having fun 20yrs ago...

 

man that looks like a lot of fun!

 

Best time possible on 2 wheels, IMO. On/ Off road, asphalt, dirt, jumps, flat track, etc. That was a 500cc CRF450 with a WR trans that was setup for Super Moto.

Bill Elliot (NASCAR) approached a group of us at a go cart track while we were alternating practice sessions (Chase Elliot was on the track at the time) and said "Man, I thought what I did for livin' was crazy, but you boys are nuts!".

Furthest I ever got in the ranks was an AMA national event where I qualified for a 450 Main on a loaner KTM 250, along side Jeff Ward (3x Champ). My CRF had frozen the water left in a cooling jacket next to the cam chain on my way to the race, about 600mi's from home, & cracked the cylinder. Needless to say, I got my ass handed to me after a great start, going down, & getting run over in the second turn.

I towed my 1990 SR5 V6 4x4 home with a rented box truck due to a bad head gasket on the same trip. Good times indeed!

 

Too fuckin hot yesterday and this week.

 

Wasn't that bad saturday as long as you kept moving. (even with my helite blocking my back venting).

 

thats an awesome story man! id love to get into supermoto racing but one dont have one and legit dont know how to even start it haha. so just spend time on trails when i can!


if you got anymore pics id love to see them! i know others in here would as well!

 

Come back after you get time on the road. Id be curious if you think you get noticed less with zero noise.

Ive seen that "clutch". Its more a throttle limiter? Im not sure how to put that since its just software.

Do you know the name kenny troxell? Friend of mine, used to race ama in sturgis along with a few other okie boys


Used to race myself but amateur by all accounts

 

Nothing wrong with trail riding in my book. As long as you're having fun & staying "safe", that's all that really matters. I really used to love just riding fire roads at a brisk pace.

If you already enjoy and are comfortable with both street & dirt, you'd pick it right up in no time. Lighter weight, slightly lower (1-2.5"), stiffer suspension, 17" wheels, and a BIG front brake are the standard mods to an otherwise conventional dirtbike OR now you can buy 'em ready to go right off the showroom from several manufacturers. You don't need all the bells & whistles like a slipper clutch, just to get started. Hell, I even like Mini Motard bikes just for kicks.

I'll see if I can find some more pics. It's been a while...

 

I don't know Kenny personally, but there are a bunch of really talented and fast riders out there!

I raced mostly club level events with the MRA in CO, between 2002-2005.
