Bike talk: Motorcycle/Scooter chat thread!

[94RS]

Dude. People run faster than that... LOL. Come on, trade in the plastic nuts for some real ones and get a sportsbike

It's a tuning problem... And I could've had plenty of sportbikes by now, but I find them boring because they're all the same. If I do get a "real bike" :roll: it damn sure isn't gonna be anything modern.


Is this attack the Ruck week or something?

 

[R13]

Yes.

How the hell are sportbikes all the same? :lol: Yeah the 600s but you got the crossplaned R1, The v4 motogp rsv4, The v-twin "ducati killer" RC51 and of course evey ducati ever but they're pretty similar, The 999r is badass though.

Every week is ruck attack week.

So how fast have you gone on your bike?
I went 61mph and thought I was flying...LOL

Just got the harley blocking my bike moved, Got the dirtbike sitting in middle of the garage now. Time to change all the fluids, spark plug, clean carb, new grips, drain gas, air filter cleaned, adjust chain, Hopefully take it to track tomorrow morning. Hoping she starts right up

 

[R13]

61? My gps has tracked me doing 103mph on that XR. :lol:

I meant in terms of how they look.... Imo, they're all just way too damn similar. Half the time I can't tell if I'm looking at a CBR, R1/6 or a Ninja. The race look gets old after a while.

That's why I like the Rucks so much, each one is a different expression of the owners personality. There's been café Rucks, bobbers, rat Rucks, lowriders, 2T wheelie machines, hell.. Someone even threw a GSXR600 motor in one of them :lol:

I just like being different I guess?

 

[R13]

All a matter of perspective I think, You're more oldschool and go for style, I'm a racer at heart, I don't care what people think about my bike, I find what catches my attention is the engineering and performance aspects.

I like a machine that in the right or wrong hands will either be a record setter or a death trap, It will either win or kill you. :lol:

The RC is nothing great speed wise as it is getting old but it still has a personality like no other.

Plus I wanna improve my riding skills, It's so rare to see a sportbike rider that can impress you with their riding skills and actually earn your respect as a rider.

Rucks are still cool though I just can't fathom why some are willing to drop 10k in them but everyone has a passion and that I respect.

I will never understand the people that spend that much money on a Ruck either. My buddy's bike is nice, but not 12-13k nice :lol:

Eventually I do want to do a 150 swap with a GP exhaust, throw on a set of 6 spoke wheels and repaint. But so far I only have about 800 in mine total.

 

[R13]

13k is ridiculous :lol:

He must have deep pockets... or he's single. :rolf:

Married and has kids. Dude runs a wheel & tire shop, so I guess he has some money :lol:

 

[R13]

That's like every dude who's married with kids I've ever known :lol:

I think having kids might make you as immature as a 15 yr old who just got his permit & his first pube.

Sounds like you're talking about half the people that signed up in the past few months :lol:

Got the dirtbike out from the cramped up place. Cleaned the air filter, Put a new NGK iridium plug, Put new motul 600 brake fluid and bled them front and rear, Changed gear oil with new bel ray gear saver 80w, Installed new pro taper grips, Changed coolant with new engine ice, Now when I wake up tomorrow I got to mix some gas with the amsoil, Clean the chain, adjust it, and lube it, Hope that my bike starts up real easily. If not i'll probably have to pull the carb off and give it a quick clean. Hoping to goto the track tomorrow morning though.

Look how beat up that exhaust pipe is. Ready for a new pro circuit one... Bought some O neal element motocross boots today but I decided they're a size to big and i'm going to return them next week for a refund and buy the right size online (They're out of stock in store, Maybe they'll have a pair when I return these).

I only have one question for you..

Have you ever ridden a 600+ cc sportsbike and given it 3/4+ throttle?

Cruisers don't count. My moms 1700cc cruiser was still slower than my sv650 LOL.
