  1. ^^^ Sat on it at the MC show. It looks really good in person.
  2. Do you ever ride with SCR? How well do you know WV backroads?
  3. Hero is the second largest maker of motorcycles in the world. Granted, they make small displacement, inexpensive bikes. They also had a long business partnership with Honda. I would imagine their quality is at least pretty good. Remember, when they started selling 'Japanese Junk' motorcycles in the US...everyone assumed they would be really crappy. If Hero is smart they'll offer a long warranty. That worked really well for Hyundai and Kia when they were trying to break into the US market.
  4. I still listen to their old stuff, but the 'Some Kind of Monster' movie was pretty much the end of me giving a fuck about them. James should retire and find something else that makes him happy. That's what he wants anyway. Kirk should start his own band. They'll probably be incredible. Lars is one of the biggest douchebags on planet Earth. He is one of those people that is just really easy to hate. He should suck on the muzzle of a loaded shotgun.
  5. I'll be the grumpy old fuck and say that anything they made after Justice is complete garbage.
  6. Lose the center stand. The rest...meh.
  7. ^^ Yes. 2006 was the first for Gen 2.
  8. It looks very KTM-ish. 79bhp (crank) and 353 lbs wet would be all kinds of fun
  9. jbot looks like a panda penguin hybrid.
  10. Are the weight figures for the cbr 'curb weight' and for the Kat the old fictitious weight without battery, tires, or any fliuds?
  11. ^^ The CBR650F is an I4. I kinda wish the VFR800 didn't have VTEC. I was never a fan. Either way it'll probably sell better than the VFR1200.
  12. http://www.motorcycledaily.com/2014/02/honda-introduces-2014-cbr650f-and-interceptor-800-for-u-s-market/ Both look interesting for those that like longs days of riding twisty backroads.
  13. Wrong tool for the job. Not enough ground clearance for the HD. The hard parts levered the rear wheel off the ground. Plus, the guy doesn't really know how to corner. He's a little crossed up & dragging the foot super motard style. If he was hanging off a little (if you can do that with forward mounted floorboards), he may have had enough ground clearance to make it through the corner.
  14. So many possible directions... Hot Fuzz Lethal Weapon A Few Good Men My Best Friend's Girl Balls of Fury
  15. It may be due to my military background, but I think it's disrespectful to the sing the National Anthem any way other than how it's written. It annoys me when singers think it's their chance to showcase their talent and do some fancy version. Don't add notes or syllables or try to drag it out. Just sing it as written. I didn't particularly care for that Coke commercial. It didn't make me want to boycott products or freak out on the internet, but I did think it was disrespectful. Again, just sing it as written.
  16. The roadside assistance alone is worth joining the AMA. I had a flat tire in the middle of effing nowhere. Called AMA...they contacted a towing company that sent a flat bed, with motorcycle chocks. They brought my bike home from about 40 miles away. Cost me NOTHING We did an overnight ride last year to Buttplug, WV and back. I suggested that everyone joined the AMA so our trip wasn't cut short by a flat tire or some other DNF.
  17. ^^ That was the first time I saw a Diavel in person. It kinda reminded me of Jessica Simpson...when she got fat. I like the Monster 1200 more than I thought I would. That's the first Duc that I am seriously considering owning. I'll be looking to test ride the Monster and the BMW S1000R this season. Mandatory visual aid:
  18. You just may be overthinking it. I think that saying comes from grieving family/friends trying to take comfort that their loved one's last days were happy. It's not of much consequence to the deceased. Again he seemed like a nice kid.
  19. ok, thought you might be someone I deal with occasionally. She also rides a Kawasaki.
