Just get a Ural, there's a guy down the road from me that rides his all winter long. looks like this: 2WD motorcycle FTW

this guy has tons of funny videos if you like the jackass/trigger happy tv style of humor, here are some of my favorites to get you started Grand Prix: Tour de France: Kangaroo: Butterfly: The fake tour de france one has me rolling on the ground everytime

I had to look this up, but:http://www.geek.com/articles/consumer/google-unveils-youtu-be-shortener-that-cuts-down-video-links-by-15-characters-20091222/ the gist: http://youtu.be links were created to cut down the number of characters in the webaddress so as to fit better into stupid twitter posts

this, not directly across the street but close enough apparently that you can hit it while backing out. I'm in the process of filing my own police report, have already called insurance. Hopefully I don't get screwed for not calling the police right away

Damn man that's terrible. Sorry for your loss.

So I come out from dinner at a friend's, and see a kid and his mom standing next to and gesturing at my bike. Thinking "oh great more people who want to talk about bikes" I just walk over and say hi as I go to unlock my helmet. The mom immediately says they are so sorry and begins to tell me everything that happened. The gist of it: 16 year old kid backs down his parents driveway and doesn't look behind, bike and car meet, car wins. The damage: so far I can see the headlight fairing is cracked, scratches on turn signal, mirror, radiator shroud, exhaust, front axle slider, right frame slider, rear brake pedal is bent, and the fork lock/ignition is cracked. After getting all their insurance info, I decide the nature seems mostly cosmetic in nature, so I go to take off, and immediately realize the handlebars are no longer pointing in the same direction as the front wheel. I stopped and looked over every bit of the front suspension/frame and saw no obvious flaws/cracks, so I went ahead and drove it the rest of the way home. bike rides just fine, as long as you point the handlebars toward the lane beside you. Aside from venting my unfortunate evening events, I wanted to ask: 1. Should I have called the police? The family were being so overly compliant with giving me all their info, staying around to report the incident, and the kid (as a 16 year old) was crying and super bothered so I figured there was not much a cop could do that would help the situation much, but perhaps this will come back to bite me? 2. With the front wheel no longer in alignment with the handlebars, am I looking at probably more damage than I can see (and a likely "totalled" situation? 3. F%*k terrible drivers, kid is lucky it wasn't a mom with a stroller. (this isn't a question but oh well) Have any of you been in a similar situation and how did you handle it? I'm not looking forward to all the insurance calls and whatnot, perhaps some stories will help.

Best of luck to you on getting everything in order, and have a hell of a lot of fun on your trip. Take pictures if possible so all us jealous bastards stuck here can live your trip vicariously.

did you read anything past the first post? +1timestamps are prettttttty tough to figure out

If you mix sriracha with frank's extra hot it makes an awesome wing sauce. Sriracha ftw!

At 1:45 in the video the bag of meat is seriously labeled: SHIT BURGER. :lol:

I know it's a few months past relevant, but saw this today and it definitely belongs here: http://www.viddler.com/failblog/videos/2386/

Why would you post all kinds of status updates and pictures of yourself rioting. People are retarded. Hoping plenty of these assholes get their justice: http://vancityriotcriminals.tumblr.com/

This is pretty badass!

It may be virtually impossible, but in reality this guy and several others pull it off. Regardless, they're still dumbasses.

simple, yet see post #553. Plenty of people can't handle this level of math

Favorite quote though: "no brackets = no bedmas." new poll?

this reminded of of this friggin zombie thread:

That's not a jetpack, it's a ducted fanny pack! But in all seriousness, pretty cool development, just need some safety options for under the operating ceiling of the chute ("something" tells me falling from 1000 ft. will still "hurt")
