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.

Then you will only need an uninhibited lady and unfiltered cigarettes...

Someone's selling a CB400F, converted to a cafe racer, on one of the local motorcycle fora:

 

[BlaRo]

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.

"Honey, we have to fix the roof, pay the RAI television licence, the insurance and we are behind on the dentist payments.... But I have good news, I bought a (MV Agusta) Brutale!!"

rights priorities ftw!!

1000CC's of money-burning puke.

Those "Sport Classics" are god-aweful bikes.

I made my GSR ready for winter today... I'll miss her..

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.

Are you crazy!!!????

Unfortunately I'm going to have to do that to the Yamaha soon, probably next week. I hate doing it because it's like the official end of fun for like 5 months.

What's winter? :lol:

 

[Crazyjeeper]

What's winter? :lol:

Good question. I think its when this white stuff covers the ground and the temperature gets below 10F.

A friend of mine has one of those. He loves it, but rides his Sprint ST to work.

What's winter? :lol:

Aw dude, that was mean!

Typically, I only have to go a couple of months without riding. This winter is predicted to be rough, however.

Welcome to California, home of the year-round riding season.

 

[KaJuN]

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.

 

[Spectre]

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

For snowmobiles.

 

[KaJuN]

I wouldn't doubt it. :lol: 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.

Not so much....
