That is some scary stuff on that video, good thing that bike didn't get clipped by the crashing vehicles.

Oh, and KaJuN, congrats on being the 1,000th reply to this thread. xD

Great news! Top Gear used a BMW 1200GS (or maybe a 1150?) in filming Richard Hammond on his bicycle!

Huzzah!

To show our true appreciation of motorbikes I think you should all mark this milestone by pooling together and buying me this:



1000 CC's of retro Italian sexyness to commemorate 1000 posts of motorbiking goodness.

Oh snap, I didn't know that thing was for sale? It's been making the rounds as Bike of the Month on the SOHC4 Forums. One of my inspirations, seeing as I'm also building a red SOHC 4 with black wheels.

A friend of mine took it for a test ride (I took the new 696) - he said it was one of the best handling bikes he's ever ridden. Uncomfortable as hell, but very flickable.

You people suck. It's bad enough having to cover up every inch of exposed skin just to go outside for a while. Not being able to ride because it's 10 degrees and snowing is the cherry on the cake of crap. I'm really really hoping the Air Force sends me somewhere with a longer riding season.

With your luck, you will be sent to Nome, Alaska. It has a very long riding season.

I wouldn't doubt it. But hey, at least I'd have much better scenery to make the shorter season a lot more enjoyable. Corn and soybean fields get real old real fast.
