when I pull the throttle really hard, I get tossed back in my seat and the bike goes BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
it makes girls' clothes fly off. Before they have time to get their knickers back on though, I've seen everything. I've seen it all.
I can smoke some douchebag in a riced out Civic.
I can smoke some douchebag in a riced out Toyota.
I can hit 88 MPH so fast that Michael J. Fox stops shaking out of fear.
Cons:
Engine's too small. If I had a bigger engine, I could ride counter to the Earth's rotation and go back in time.
It doesn't fly, or transform into something that does fly.
It doesn't talk. I keep asking it to go into super pursuit mode, but the damn thing keeps ignoring me.
A bunch of people decided it would be cool to write all over it. They were kinda stupid though, almost all of them wrote their names. Finding them should be easy.

I havent been blown off all that much. All week every rider either initiated a wave first, or i would then they'd wave back... Ive been blown off maybe 3 times all week. 1 was a HD, another was huge cruiser not HD, and another a sports bike... So thankfully i havent found any evidence for stigmas, yet lol... The funniest thing i noticed though was that when i waved to guys on scooters or those "sports" scooters that look like real bikes until u get close and its like... hmm oh well, wave anyway... lol... Well every scooter i waved to waved to me like it was the last wave of their life... sooooo funny!!

No it didn't this is all totally normal

Yo this thread went on a crazy ass tangent haha... I dont even know what to say lol

If you can't wave and someone waves at you, proper etiquette dictates that because you're on a Japanese sportbike, you have to hold in the clutch and twist the throttle, bouncing your bike off the rev limiter for no less than 5 full seconds if at a stop, or 3 full seconds if moving. If moving you're also obliged to pop a wheelie after the 3 seconds are complete.
I need to learn to do a wheelie asap then... lol
-
The weather has been awesome and ive been riding a lot lately. Im really new to the motorcycle scene and Im kinda diggn the whole waving-at-oncoming-riders thing. But a lot of times im at a stop light and riders pass me up and gesture, but i cant cuz im still in first holding on to the clutch lol... Wave with my right? Dont wave? Ignore? put in neutral just to wave?... Gah so confusing haha... Just wondering what anyone does or even gives a shit lol
-
Ho..ly... SHIT... That was incredible. Mad skillz
-
Got my leather perf jacket from newenough.com. Its a scorpion stinger red/black. Matches my bike perfectly and is surprisingly amazing quality for how much it was... So happy i looked around lol
-
We usally meet up at quaker on thursdays and at the oregon saturdays and/or kmart parkinglot in huber about 6
I literally live 1min from kmart haha... Welcome buddy. let me know when u in huber
-
I love mw2, but it could use a little more dimension in its gameplay. Whats your guys' opinion of BC2?...
-
Thats just insane... 3 dead for sure and 2 more a possibility?!... Wow, a lot of lives just changed. Prayers go out to the riders and their families.
-
I haven't stalled when I was out riding or at a stop sign so I am happy for that
Well my sis has, so thats a huge accomplishment! haha... Me and her agree though that finding the sweet spot on the clutch is half the fun
-
I have only had mine a few weeks as well. I am trying to learn from my brother but I realize its more a learn from experience process. I just get out and go down the alley mostly. I will work my way up from there. I have only actually been on it 3 times.
Haha ya Im doing the exact same with my sis... Theres only so much you can teach/tell. The rest is getting a feel/used to your bike. Like brakes, clutch, accelerator etc... Honestly i think thats how much she's ridden also. The most she's ridden was when we went for a small ride in our neighborhood going through every street. I think she stalled like 10 times though haha
-
Does she enjoy it? I think its an awesome bike for someone just starting out and also experienced riders. My brother and all his friends are amazed by my bike and they have 500's or higher
For sure! She loves it to death. It is an awesome bike, ESPECIALLY for beginners. Im still a noob and I find it very forgiving. Its also a very nimble bike which makes it more fun. How long have u been riding? My sis just got it a few weeks ago.
-
My sis just got a black 09 250r. She still keeps it here in dayton. Btw welcome!...
-
I just saw on newenough.com a scorpion stinger leather for 150! If I didn't already have my alpinestars leather I would be all over that deal
Thats the one im getting!
-
Here's that Scorpion jacket I linked to the other day. Only ridden with it for 10 minutes but headed out in a couple for a couple hours.
Jacket has some nice stitching, a lot of pockets and seems to be just what I was looking for. First leather riding coat for me so my experience with this type of coat is nonexistent. I the only thing style wise I could do without is the flames. Glad I didn't get the one with patches. It would be just to flashy for me. So far I would recommend it for the $150 it costs.
Ya dude i found a scorpion stinger perf leather jacket for 150bux. Its in red and black so it'll def match my bike. I saw an alpinestar too which was 180 but was red/black/white, didnt match as well. I heard the scorpion quality is pretty good too, so i think ill go with that one since it matches better.
-
Thanks for all the advice guys... Obviously my first choice is to get a leather jacket, Im just seeing what my options are. If i can find a decent leather jacket for a good price then ill get it. And if i see a textile jacket i like, i just dont wanna regret buying it haha...
... That being said, you guys prefer any brands? Any brands to steer away from?
