That's the point, it lets other drivers/riders know. Plus it's a little humiliating.

Keeps that ego down. :mrgreen:

I'm not, I think it's good. :lol:

If you take yourself sooo seriously on a bike that you couldn't ride around with one of those for a little bit then it's questionable whether or not you belong on a bike. :mrgreen:

Plus everyone might have a little more respect for motorcyclists because we earned our place, we would've worn that humiliating plate like a badge of honor, and when we got a full license it would be a bigger deal than just going down to the DMV, signing some papers and crawling around in a parking lot.

It'll never happen, but I still think it would be a good idea. You don't see all these obnoxious little fuckers flying around on supersports in nothing but shorts and a t-shirt in Europe because mommy and daddy can't just buy them a bike and send them on their way, they have to earn it.

Riding a sportbike in the states the general public sees you as just an immature kid, whereas in the UK it has a much more manly, mature vibe to it.

I ended up ordering that lever setup and a set of black bar end mirrors.


Also ordered a cheap set of basic ProGrip 780s and two sets of mini turn signals from Dime City Cycles, which is like 10 minutes away :mrgreen:

No no no everyone has to have one. Whether you're on a car or a bike lol. I just think they suck because it's belittling. "Ohhh he's a new driver, he doesn't know how to drive" when really I pride myself in my driving.

Also I found myself in a video :D

It's funny because I actually thought about that and almost said driving/riding. I do see myself as a great driver, but I am still learning how to handle the bike. It's fast as fuck and there are still little things I'm working on :thumbs up

It is real, they're on a banked curve.

That gif was in a forum discussion a couple of years ago and the guy who was riding behind him filming was a member there.

The guy who did that is/was military and basically his buddies said he was batshit on a bike. :lol:

Maybe one day I can go to that track or one with a similar turn in it and do that myself. :mrgreen:

Edit: I just realized that gif was sped way the hell up on crapatalk.
