what

You could help me continue the annual trip to wheelers tradition.

Cool, I'll keep 'em on the list for whenever I can afford the FZ.

You can't get the White Whale up to 224mph? Thought for sure...

It might as well say 224.58 sausages per hour until you do.

what kind of a monster uses kph.

Both good suggestions. If you can find one, a 28mm dildo may work too. I'd recommend one of the plastic ones though since the rubber ones may not be stable enough to hold the bike upright.

Isn't that the cop bike?

See any dry rot? If the answer is no, install the tires and beat the hell out of them this summer. If if the answer is yes, return them for tires with no dry rot.

I mean I know the only reason he gets on here is to hate on Casper. Honestly though that seems to be about the only thing mods actually do on these forums.

But... you're a mod.

Yeah I think a 500 wouldn't last more than a year or 2. For reference I'm 6'6 290 and I ride a triumph street triple r which is about the same ergonomics as a standard sv650 (non-s model). I think at 6'1 the OP would be comfortable on a standard sv650. However I do tend to agree that not every rider has to start on small displacement bike. Supersports are very uncomfortable for me on longer days and I would not commute on one.

Ask Danimal about growing out of an sv650.

2003-2008 sv650. Can find those for around $2k usually.

Only pussies ride stock Hyabusas. Turbo Hyabusa or supercharged H2.

There is vented leather but leather will always be hotter than mesh. Armored mesh gear is good for Ohio summer. Leather starts to really suck when it gets up around 90. That said I wear my track leathers every time I go out for a ride in the country. Around town is jeans and a mesh jacket. Textile I can't comment on since I've never owned any. Invest in some quality riding boots and gloves. I've seen some bad leg injuries that could have been prevented if the rider was wearing proper boots.

I went back to the beginning a couple times just to listen to Isa purr.

Swapped out rotting fuel lines on the Duc. I smell like race fuel.

I have one very similar to this, it works ok. The material is very light though so I'm not sure how well it would survive a heavy windstorm or anything to that effect.

Tony & Pauly Palace? Glad you'll be joining us.

Uh... Should go without saying but if that's your bike, don't ride it like that. At all.

Just saw a Motohio license plate on an old BMW GS 650 out here in Santa Monica...

I've got about 3-4 hours of footage to sift through too. In LA until Thursday and then Orlando until the 19th but I'll post it up when I'm back.

Think the Columbus crew logged somewhere around 350 miles today.
