Motorcycling Thread for MrX, Matty, and I

[Matty]

On the road you just gotta ride as if you were invisible and everyone else was a mental cripple.

Cab drivers are the worst.

 

[MrX]

I can't wait until that helmet technology is a little more mainstream. Those are pretty great features.

 

[Matty]

It's vaporware until further notice. Skully is basically crowdfunding the thing and they won't release it before next year. Their ETA is May 2015, which means it's likely to be 2016 before it's widely available. If at all.

Captain America's chopper from Easy Rider is going up for auction and expected to fetch > a million bucks.

 

[Matty]

It's like, the most iconic of iconic motorcycles. I'm surprised the estimate is only around a million.

 

[Saulty]

Always not wear your helmet and carry it as a passenger.

 

[Matty]

It's iconic.

I think I pulled my first wheelie this morning. Front wheel musta been like half-an-inch in the air. The oil level light came on for a second.

Pulling a wheelie on a 30yo heap of a bike is prolly not the best idea.

GAMBOOOOOL

NOICEEEEE!!

I saw that, it's absolutely nuts. Not sure about the cubistic-fighter-jet looks, but 296 fokken horsepower? That's significantly more than a current MotoGP bike (rumored to produce anywhere between 240 and 270hp)

The original H2 was nicknamed the widow-maker in the 70's. Looks like they brought back the H2 moniker for the same reason. Fools are gonna get flung and dismembered.
