Hey now, it's still my dumb childish dream to have a M-class like the ones from the second Jurassic Park movie.

But one now and you'll have a cool looking vehicle and you'll be able to bitch at motorcyclists because you don't like where they park!

But really the Explorers from the first Jurassic Park were way cooler than those.

But those Fords are all electric. They run on tracks buried in the road. Top of the line. Totally non-polluting. They spared no expense.

Surely Lara Croft's ride was more impressive?

 

[KaJuN]

Gee thanks. Now I've gone and made a mess of my underpants.

 

[Spectre]

Yes, but in the next movie she traded up to a Jeep.

She got tired of the Disco breaking down and the electrics catching on fire.

One last comment and then it's back to bikes.

In the book Jurassic Park, they used Toyota Land Cruisers - as the rich guy was always saying, "We spared no expense."

Now that we have put that debate to bed, back to bikes!

 

[Epoq]

Alrighty then, the Kawasaki ZX14:

Yay or nay?

 

[tigger]

Yay or nay?

A friend of mine's dad has a ZX12, and based on that monster I'd say ... nay. He loves it, but then again he can somehow manage to keep out of the throttle. I'd probably turn myself into a skidmark on something like that.

 

[Spectre]

Bleah, got hit by the OOOGLY stick.

 

[Crazyjeeper]

It looks like somebody filled it with expanding foam.

 

[Epoq]

Well I think it's absolutely beautiful personally, bordering on a work of art. I can finally ride something that is just as insanely fast as Suzuki's Hayabusa without looking like my bike got hit with an ugly stick.

The Hayabusa looks like a Supermodel compared to that thing.

In the same way the yeti is a super model, yes.

Beauty Pageant..

..FIGHT!

My votes for the Hayabusa personally, that ZX14 looks like.. well it looks f'in 'orrible ennit!

They are both horrid. Naked bikes are where the beauty is these days.

Anybody else as enamored with the new color on 2009 Triumph Bonnevilles?

Man, I really love Triumphs. I don't even care if they still break down and whatnot, they're the anti-Harley. With just as much mystique.

 

[hansvonaxion]

Seeing as we're on a picture posting spree, I'll add some. I've been looking for bikes on an auction site and if no-one minds, I'll add a few pics of the more interesting bikes and other things I came across.

Starting with the Japanese bikie gang style of mod (the horror...)

 

[hansvonaxion]

And then some of the modded maxi-scooters.

 

[hansvonaxion]

Moving on to some whacky ATVs (these are all 50cc models).
