It was a joke but yes. It was a joke. I wouldn't kick another guys bike over. I sure as fuck wouldn't feel bad for him if someone fucked up his bike for parking on a sidewalk though. Riding a motorcycle doesn't give you special rights to be an arrogant prick. It only makes riders look even worse to cagers. Parking on a sidewalk puts you on the same level as a squid.2 points

I hung around with the CR crowd between 2000 and 2005, my handle was nevarmore at the time. I was the dude with the ponytail and a 65 Lincoln and later an 87 Buick and an 85 RX-7. Trying to find some old pics of the 'amish mechanic' involving driver/tbird281v8 and my old cars. I assume servers have migrated, moderators have been added/removed, and things have generally caught fire from time to time. How far back does the current content go? What are my odds of turning up treads and pics tied to old handles?1 point

This is what drives me absolutely batshit insane bonkers. THIS SONG ISN'T ABOUT AMERICA/ISRAEL. It's about the Egyptian people getting the government and leadership they want, not the one that some asshole has been driving down their throats with emergency powers and fear for the last 30+ years. This is about true regime change, not something that Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz scratched out on the back of a cracker jack box. This is organic, this is healthy, this is natural. We're not dealing with a completely ass-backwards nation like the Sudan where the majority of the people are uneducated, but even there they freely elected to form their own nation in their own best interests. The Egyptians know what they want, they understand the mechanisms to attain it and they are willing to accept the consequences of success or failure. They are not willing to just cede this over to some theocratic governing body who's going to become the next coming of the Iranian Guardian Council. What's going to completely and totally fuck this up is the pressure of governmental bodies that are solely focused on Israel, or America, or some other cause that's peripheral to this that does the wrong thing, backs the wrong side (or any side), and causes a shift in the domestic Egyptian landscape. Now that foreign body essentially broke the revolution, and they are caught in a quagmire. In short, America and Israel, butt the fuck out. Let this happen as it should. After the dust settles, assess and re-establish relations. I firmly believe you'll be better allies for it.1 point

1. is there such a thing as a super moto with decent fuel capacity (as in, can go 120+ miles on a tank)? Most stock dualsports/supermotos have around a 2 gal tank with a 100-120 mile range. Larger aftermarket tanks are available. 2. can you get any sort of wind protection on a motard? It doesn't need to be huge and all encompassing, but just enough to block some wind from the helmet while hunched/tucked Some people have been known to affix windshields to their DS bikes for just the reason you state. Many options are available. 3. can you get "comfy" super moto seats? Yes. There are many aftermarket seat manufacturers that make seats for DS bikes. Prices range from $150-300. on the other hand, coming from a different perspective a. is there such a thing as a light dual sport that isn't made ONLY for incredibly tall people? Asians (minus yao ming) aren't really well known for being tall. for weight, i'm thinking >350lbs or even less if possible. Less than 350lbs wouldn't be a problem at all. Everything can be lowered. b. can a dual sport be shod with say... touring street tires like a pilot road 2ct and have decent suspension? I believe every DS on the market today comes with cartridge forks and a pretty decent shock, the Yamaha WR250R and KLX250s (and their SuMo brothers) have USD forks. While you may have trouble finding sportbike/sport touring tires in dirtbike sizes, there are many street tires available that will fit DS wheels. With the lighter DS bike, you don't need the greatest in modern grip technology. c. are dual sports cheap to fix so i'm not so paranoid about dropping it while riding around the roads in SE ohio? They're cheap to fix, but even harder to break! I threw my WR down on the Dragon this summer and managed to scuff my hand guard, that's it. These bikes are designed to crash. I thought I'd get opinions from people who have ridden one or both types of bikes. I'm guessing it's a "get a super moto or a dual sport, numb nuts" but I'm hoping there is a compromise to be made. Some of the options out there: KTM and Husky 600cc class bikes: Fast, powerful, excellent components. Expensive to buy and maintain compared to the Japanese, but the performance is incredible. DRZ-400: Heavy and Reliable. Excellent torque and great aftermarket, but a lack of 6th gear leaves many unhappy when it's time to hit the highway. WR250R/X: High-revving Fuel injected 250. 26,000 mile valve inspections and a great suspension package make this thing a blast. Doesn't have the bottom end grunt that the DRZ has, but it makes up for it at the top end. 6 speed. KLX-250S: Really doesn't stack up to the DRZ or WR. Good suspension, Ok motor, minimal aftermarket support. Honda: meh.1 point

lol ever drive in a state that has these on the freeway?? the shit is hilarious....i was visiting my family in phoenix and borrowed my aunts car and went for a drive... hit the freeway and they have those cameras since they have them everywhere, theres hardly any cops on the freeways...and they have warning signs "speed camera 1/4 mile ahead" or something of the sort you will see people flying doing 95+, whole groups of people...then all the sudden everyone is on the brakes slowing down to pass under the camera, as soon as they hit the other side, the whole group speeds back up people out there drive like theyre on the run from the mental hospital1 point

Browns/Indians/Cavs fans, just jump ship and embrace another team. You know deep down there are universal forces at work to ensure Cleveland never gets a championship, are you really going to try and fight the entire universe single-handed?1 point
