LOL! I picked up my GS on a Friday. Immediately booked the 1K km appointment for the following Tuesday, the first day the shop re-opened after the weekend...

whut?!? Now I'm afraid of riding with you... :oops:

Those things are supposed to be great for Autocross. I really like the hardtop version, the RF. Side profile is slightly reminiscent of a 240Z (albeit with a stubbier hood), which I've always liked when I was a kid.

If he's just starting out, most MX tracks will have a smaller beginner or learner track that doesn't have those big jumps. I've also seen some larger tracks with a bailout track beside the jumps so you can run different level groups on the same track. But yeah, when you get fast and you're...

huh. Wonder how that works? Throttle-by-wire gets auto-blipped when the clutch pedal hits the friction zone? Do we need a separate thread for those who prefer to manually blip rather than have the computer do it for them? Extra gate-keeping points for those who heel-toe...?

Reminds me of this one lady at work, she showed up one day with a brand new MX-6 Mystere. MT, of course. She knew I was a car guy, so she drove us out for an extended lunch one day. She was okay-looking, but something about watching her row through the gears made her instantly and insanely hot...

Ya, I had to read that line a few times. Still doesn't make any sense to me. It's like he just strung together random words or something... 🤷‍♂️

Different kind of riding but the skills developed on a dirt track are just as transferable to street as track. Slower speeds, more focused on 360 degree body positioning to preserve or remove traction. You'll develop a better sense of how to use throttle and brakes to turn a bike.

I never got used to BC either. To be honest, I still use Mapsource. Even though it's long since discontinued, it still works like a charm. It's intuitive and doesn't chew up a ton of resources like BC. You can download a copy here: https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=209...

Well, if I was a *real* baller, I'd have both baller bikes AND baller cars. Still in the Love-Bikes-More-Than-Cars phase though, so all the disposable income goes to fuel my two-wheeled addiction. I used to own a sports car. I put less than 10,000 kms on it the last 8 years of ownership...

It's just a joke. Tongue-in-cheek meme to point out that not a lot of young people know how to drive stick shift anymore.

I would like to own a new 911 one day. Sad that the manual tranny is almost gone from their lineup. 911 T is the only one right now I believe.

Thats awesome! 😁 However, you need to talk some sense into your people...

lol. You can't scam a scammer. Ive tried that line so many times, but no one has ever taken me up on that offer! It's like they know me really well or something...

Also keeps those young punks from stealing your car: You'll never convince me that mashing buttons on a controller.. er, handlebar will ever be more fun than shifting gears yourself with a clutch. Yayaokboomerandallthatshiiite...

YES! Was just checking FB ads for a 2006 VRSCR. Just for funsies, though. No garage space left, and there is a laundry list of bikes I'd get before that Harley, but I've always liked the V-Rod and that Street Rod has those higher mid-mount controls. 40° of lean angle! 🤘

Plus, most manufacturers have one or two sportbikes in their lineup. As well as one or two cruisers. And maybe a few dirtbikes, standards, ADVs, etc. Harley has cruisers. And more cruisers. And also... more cruisers... In a multi-bike garage, it's more common to have a mix of bikes, rather...
