Are there any stuntting groups/meetups

All this wheelie talk is making me think the vfr needs to come out of storage and show how it's done. I thought you people knew that the only way to wheelie in style is with a single sided swingarm

I was never arguing that a Blast is a better bike, I argued it has potential. Too many people, and I don't blame them, who know absolutely nothing about the Blast hate it.

My argument was A Blast CAN Stunt. Just like anything with 2 wheels can. Just because it can't stunt as good as other bikes doesn't mean it can't do some stunts.

Also, I'm not saying I'm going to be out there attempting to do crazy stunts on a Blast. The stock engine mounts can't hold up well on the bike. They'd have to be upgraded as well, which is entirely possible.

I would like to, however, learn a little more control. Is that so bad?

If someone is going to continue to argue that a Buell Blast is not capable of stunting, then basically proven wrong, and continue to argue that the bike sucks, then it is clearly just an opinion that does not hold well.

But still, my original questions was if there are any stunt groups or meetups.

I've shown that a modded Blast was .095 seconds behind a stock CBR 1000rr in a quarter mile (and actually the modded Blast was 1.495 seconds faster in a 1/8 mile). I admitted that the stock CBR could probably do a lot better.

I've shown that a stock Blast can do solid wheelies, burnouts, and drifts.

I've shown that a scooter can do endos, wheelies, and stoppies.

What more do you want?

I'm saying the bike has potential. I'm not claiming it to be better than any other bike out there and not claiming it to be the ultimate stunt bike.

Welcome to OR noob. You have much to learn.

Stick around, it gets more funner, but change the name. Dont want people to get the impression that you are "That Dude".

I was thinging the same thing. With the combination of his screen name and the thread topic, I though he might might somehow genetically related to That Dude and OR's favorite whipping boy Ringo.

This thread settles it I'm convinced now. All my bikes are going on CL today and I'm gonna buy a Blast and mod the shit out of it.

You better do that because it’s been proven that a blast will leave your piece of shit 1K Honda in the dust in the twisties. I would be embarrassed for you to suffer such a beating. Your only hope is to get a moded blast so when you get beat you have an excuse.

I can make my scooter think about doing an endo but I can’t keep my feet on the ground when trying to get the front end off the ground from a stop. The scooter is too tall or I’m too short, what can I do?

Okay. I'm not understanding this. Are you guys just giving me a hard time?

I haven't put any bodies bike down, I've even admitted that a Buell Blast has a negative appeal, I've offered some proof that a Blast can do things people are claiming it can't do...

I keep admitting that a Blast is not the one and only... it is a single cylinder machine. What are you expecting?

Really, I'm not hating on any body... what did I do that was so wrong?

I asked a simple question... Are there any stunt meetups/groups? I didn't think that meant that people should go out of their way to attempt to put such negative energy into the thread.

Would it help if I changed my profile bike to a GSXR or a CBR?

I'm not pissed or offended, just a little surprised.

You better get ready for that embarrassment yourself as next time we meet up for another releasing the deamons ride I will be on my fully modded blast and as it has been proven, I will smoke you in the twisties as you will be on that slow poor handling pig of yours. :rolleyes:

Funny...

...I have personally out run two R6's, a ZX10R and a CBR1000RR (all at the same time) in the pig trails in Northwest Arkansas... on my Blast.

.

Was it on foot because the real jet- lee would have done that dhit in his sleep, maybe, I can't tell if he is sleeping or awake some times damn squinty eyes :nono:

We give everyone a hard time it is how you respond that makes us act like snarky fucktards. There are a few stunters around but they probably keep to themself because of the bad rap some get.

Oh yeah if a kid on a 1,100 black bird claiming he can stunt and runs nos ..... It's a trap

The rider of the ZX10R (coworker) regularly asked to switch bikes for afternoon rides after work.

-Edit-

I'm far from stock.

Thats because they were all stretched out and chromed being piloted by thugs in wife beaters with fat mouthy girls on the back. Not a real acomplishment.

Wanna come ride here with us?

Okay... just take a moment to logically think this through.

First! I'm not saying a Blast is the one and only bike, so stop commenting as if I were saying that. Just want to be clear before I move on to my next comment.

Without getting too technical...

If a Buell Blast (MODIFIED!!!) can get to a 1/8 mile 1.495 seconds faster than a CBR 1000RR (STOCK) what makes you think it can't take a CBR 1000RR in the corners? (This is just an example, don't comment as if I'm talking about everyone and everybike).

$10000+ for a NEW CBR 1000RR

$500 plus $2000 in modifications? for a USED Buell Blast

You're going to continue to make fun of a $2500 modified Buell Blast when you paid $10000 plus for a CBR 1000RR and a Blast can hang at least to a certain point? And!!! maybe even beat it in certain situations.

The Blast must be a horribly designed piece of crap, I guess.

I like the blast in stock trim. It's a fine motorcycle, and doesn't pretend to be some kind of fire-breathing horsepower monster.

...but I have to know what modifications allow a Buell Blast to run a quarter mile in under 11 seconds.

And IF that's even possible, how reliable is the bike you're left with?

I've seen EX500's that produce 72 horsepower (20 over stock). Not sure on their quarter mile times, as that particular model was used for road racing, but I was in such disbelief about it, I asked the guy how long his engine lasted. "about 2 race weekends" was his response. Then it all made sense.

cheap. powerful. reliable. You only get to choose two.

The Blast is cheap by default. How much reliability is given up to cut 2 seconds off its quarter mile time?

okay, my Google-foo says this is the bike and engine-build he's referencing.

The guy bought a big-bore kit, and then spent $1800 modifying the blast engine to make a claimed 70 ft-lbs. and 71hp. (which is indeed impressive).

http://www.customfighters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24223

...except he the guy who did the build works at a machine shop (i.e. huge cost savings), and appears to have some fairly in-depth knowledge of engine building (did 100% of the labor himself, again saving money). He also admits that it's a "full-blown race engine," and not made for street longevity (although he did say it would maintain highway speeds w/o overheating).

So like my EX500 producing 72 rear-wheel horsepower, it may be possible, but it's not practical.

A CBR 1000 will do 10.8 second quarter miles all day, every day, for 50,000 miles... A modified Blast will do it 50 or 100 times, and probably explode.

As noted earlier, I LIKE THE BUELL BLAST. And I even like ridiculous modifications, purely because someoen said "it can't be done." But to argue that it's "better" or even "almost as good" as a CBR 1000 isn't accurate. Reliability IS a real-world concern.

I hope you find some stunting buddies. I can't wheelie to save my life, except during race starts.

I didn't ride with those types.

I figure I'll add it in, I wasn't the lead bike in that run, I wasn't even second. There was a guy that had a really hopped up CBR600. Even he wasn't leading. The guy that lead, was old as dirt it seemed and riding a Norton that was probably older than he. He was drifting the corners and still kicking our asses.

Ever since, I've wanted to find a Norton for a true old-school cafe-racer build.
