You have to use the URL of the image itself, not the URL of the webpage displaying the image (as you did.)

Quote this post to see what I mean.

Well, yesterday I let my beat up commuter at the Honda dealer for a serious tune up, tyres changes, the whole deal, and ask for the courtesy bike they were supposed to lend me.
Turns out that all what was left was this :

I thought I would share.

I hope you took some air with that, and powerbraked the rear tire some.

So you can find out how fast your bike will go if you had the nuts to pin it?

Powerslides all over the place, all over, dude. I could barely handle the beast.

(I did actualy nearly catch some air with it, on a speed bump. I almost crashed. It's like being seated on a barrel)

Picturing all 6'-4" of you on that scooter makes me laugh... You probably look like the circus clown on the tiny bike!

^ I resent being downsized ! I'm closer to 6'7'' !

Yes, the guys at the dealership were grinning ear to ear... Bastards !

Long story short.....I bought a wrecked FZR 600 (I love these bikes) and rebuilt it. Few odds and ends left, but finished most of it today, and went out for a ride.....this bike is soooo fun to ride. Here she is-

**fez** · 08-04-2008, 08:34 AM

nice job!
how wrecked was it? i used to have a fzr 1000, but after bouncing it down the side of a mountain in a 80 mph highside i didnt think there was much point in trying to fix it.

**milton** · 08-04-2008, 06:19 PM

Nothin like a little flat black and stove paint to spruce up the bike. Looks tight!

**SnowToad** · 08-04-2008, 08:28 PM

A shot of the Thruxton on a recent trip with my dad. This was near the Gunnison Black Canyon area.

It was totaled by an insurance company and has a salvaged title. Replaced a TON of shit on it...all plastics, mirrors, windshield, engine covers, signals, fairings, r6 front brake system, battery, tires, instrument cluster, left and right switches..and much more.You get the point.

Looks like Jeremy Jones has a pretty nice bike.

A little late in the year, but here's my current ride - 02 RC51.

sadly up for sale, but might as well share the stoke while it's still hanging around. As much as the new I4 liter bikes have eclipsed it in terms of raw HP, the massive torque everywhere in the powerband has made me a v-twin believer for life. This thing fucking rocks.

**Vt-Freeheel** · 10-12-2008, 08:15 PM

Bought this Aprilia Futura from a guy in CA. last month and shipped it here.
I have been too busy to register it till this week. Rode 250 miles yesterday
and can't wait to get out again. Not as edgy as My RSV but way more comfy long distance. It is no slouch on the AP Gap either

**willywhit** · 10-13-2008, 05:01 AM

saw michael jordon's custom (one off really) Duc 999 on speedvision yesterday, pretty sick ride

Some onboard footage of me at the Miller Motorsports Park west track a couple of months ago.

We're very lucky to have MMP here in SLC! (thanks Larry!)

What sort of camera set-up were you using?

Larry and crew sure did their homework when building this track. It's now reputed to be the best roadracing track in the country. All the World Superbike and AMA Superbike guys were raving about it when the races were there in June.

As for camera setup, I used this mount along with a Sony DSC-W55 still camera with the video function turned on. It worked out better than expected. You can position the mounted camera so that you can get into a full tuck without your helmet/chest hitting the camera and still get a good shot of the tach/speedo.

How about a maggot trackday in 09 at Miller? That'd be a riot.
