Post pictures of your Motorcycle!

Oh trust me Ive had some nice spills already . Broke my foot on the last one so Ive been taking it easy. I need another DD other than my truck now since the MPGs suck so the F4i is retiring from the lot, but Ill make a nice squid crash compilation once I get another lot bike.

 

You went there.

I can't believe you went there.

The first rule of the Dark Side is never talk about the Dark Side around the general riding public.



In before the "OMFG YOU'LL KILL YOURSELF" crowd.

 

He won't kill himself as long as he doesn't try to turn

 

Yellow Wolf has a few videos on Youtube running the Dragon on a car tire.

On his Goldwing!

^Dang! he was getting some serious lean in those corners. Scary stuff.

 

Yup.

His comments on the car tire match those of most people who actually use them...

No issues with traction in cornering, excellent straight-line traction and braking, excellent durability. Transitioning in S-turns is a bit "unsettling" until you get used to it, but at no point is there a feeling of not being in control.

His option, it's not for him due to his style of riding, but he has no problem with those who want to run that way.

People claim that MC tires are "better"... they aren't. Their tread is gone in 14k or less (I generally get 10-14k on my 180/70-16 on my Vulcan)... car tire will go 20k or better.
Quality and durability are as good or better... My "last" Dunlop E3 I noticed had a pinhole. No leaking, but looked like a small hole.
Exploration revealed it was soft. Hmm... prodded a bit more, and with nothing more than my thumbnail I was able to reveal an area about the size of my thumbnail that had delaminated.

That was my last E3... I've been running Avon Venoms ever since.

Only reason I'm not running a car tire is there are no good options for my rim width and swingarm clearance in a tire height that I want.

 

Made some changes lately.

 

My first road bike, 2003 HD Softail 100 year anniversary edition. Really strong and solid running bike, 20k original miles. Needs some minor TLC and new paint, but most of that will happen this winter when I won't be able to ride it. Going to Sturgis with my dad at the end of the summer! Been wanting to go there since I was a little kid. I will get more pics of it eventually.

 

Yep, in Custer State Park. Awesome roads back up in there.

 

DUDE! I have a Stryker also!

 

Dayum

That guy's got some balls!

 

Thats badass... you can hear the guy driving grinding his knees on the pavement

 

Rides the DY a lot...

 

Thanks for the tip! Now I really can't wait to go there! Here is another pic of the HD.

Dad took us to Mt. Rushmore when we were just kids, but I don't remember very much, so it will be all new to me again.

 

Wow! That's a great looking bike. What brand is it?
