I'm pretty happy nowadays.

**nutmegchoi** · 06-29-2016, 06:07 AM

I still haven't been on my bike this year yet.
Having a bike 100 miles away isn't very accessible.

**babybear** · 06-29-2016, 07:45 AM

Rats you need a motorcycle to get to your motorcycle

Why am I not surprised you have a toilet in your yard, but if that's what makes you happy, so be it.

Nice bike, btw.

**twodogs** · 06-29-2016, 08:24 PM

You caught me on the toilet. Hey, it's New Hampshire! It was planted and looked decent last season, it's getting recycled this one.

**hutash** · 07-13-2016, 01:18 PM

My new (used) toy...looking forward to some long trips on and off the tarmac.

I bet yours is a little more comfy for the long rides! Thanks, it is a mean looking machine. Here's the other side showing the single swing arm.

2016 Tuono RR. Bought in June, already put 3k miles on it.

**twodogs** · 08-21-2016, 12:16 PM

^^Nice machine!! You're 1k ahead of me. Work has had me carrying tools for the past month otherwise I'd be right there with ya.

**dima** · 08-22-2016, 09:58 PM

Some Baja stoke.

**strawjack** · 08-23-2016, 08:10 AM

Hey Nutmeg - you're a wild an crazy chick!

On my run a couple days ago a guy was pulled over on the side of the road. As I got closer I saw he was on his trailer trying to pick up his bike. I hopped up to help him and saw that the floor board had busted out from under his kickstand

It was a 1970 Triumph TR6...the next bike I will eventually buy, but probably a 1967. Anyway, the old bikes don't have the 'stop' so his handlebars dinged the tank...another

He was taking up the street to have a guy repair whatever was wrong with it, so I didn't get into the "never strap your bike down to a kickstand' thing, assuming the repair dude would let him know. It was just a bummer.

**nutmegchoi** · 08-23-2016, 08:24 AM

I'm still not wild and crazy enough to go down The Corbet's.
One day, one day... though.

**Dee Hubbs** · 08-25-2016, 10:10 PM

2004 Sprint RS 955
2004 Trophy
2004 Rocker III
2004 Thruxton 900
2004 Speed 4 600
2004 Daytona 600
2004 Speed III 955
2004, 05, 06 Tiger 955i
2005, 06, 07, 08 Speed III 1050
2006 Bonnevlle T100 865
2006 Speed III 1050
2006 Daytona 675
2006 Daytona 955
2007, 08 Tiger 1050

I will dig up some photos.

**east or bust** · 08-30-2016, 11:20 AM

not really stoke, just wondering, how fast one would have to be going to put down a 250ft skid, lay down the bike for 40-50ft, then bury it up to the rear tire under the front of a pickup?

**Vt-Freeheel** · 08-30-2016, 06:17 PM

Too fast

**2FUNKY** · 08-30-2016, 06:54 PM

Every last drop of fast.

**MakersTeleMark** · 08-30-2016, 10:20 PM

40mph actually. Not that hard at all, if you are an idiot who loves rear useless brake.

**east or bust** · 09-01-2016, 06:10 PM

I'll see if I can get the pictures.

In this guy's defense if he really was going that fast he probably only had a couple seconds to react once he saw the closure signs when he got out of the turn. Still, the perfectly straight skid mark was weird, maybe a testament to his speed.

**Vt-Freeheel** · 09-01-2016, 06:13 PM

Perfectly straight skid mark = [as said above] rear brake lockup and target fixation i.e. fail.

What are you talking about? Where is this?

**Dee Hubbs** · 09-02-2016, 09:58 AM

I love the straight, dark, just like stepping on a car brake pedal, rear tire lock up. This is not only a rookie bush league move, but also very prevalent in foot forward position cruiser bikes. (notice I didn't stereotype and say Harley riders)
