A 25-mile commute through Russian traffic and a powerful two-wheeled samurai sword, and you get a video showing the "quick" way to work. Sometimes this two-wheeler even becomes a one-wheeler as rare empty stretches of road disappear when the nose goes skyward. Hang On !!

I went to you-tube and found this one on the ghost rider...he's legendary among the motorcycle adrenaline junkies, he routinely hits 150-180 mph in traffic...like I said, I heard he is no longer with us...don't know for sure though
We can only hope that his life policy was current. RIP

...and that it covers suicide...this is crazier than sky diving without a "chute" :?)
Yes. I'd love to have a bike again, but Mrs.L says NO! So that's that.

In the DFW Metroplex the EMT's/cops call the sport-bike riders "organ donors".

Mrs. F has been very understanding of "my needs". In fact, if I fake a bad mood long enough...she will insist I go burn a tank of gas to get outta my "bad mood"...kinda like throwing the rabbit in the briar patch...OK honey, if you insist...snicker :?)
usually not much left to salvage...

Yeah. I was watching that video and thinking to myself that all he needed was just one of the people driving a car or truck to lose their concentration for just a few seconds and drift over a foot or two--and then he's a dead man. It's stupid to ride that way in traffic.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. The only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has it's limits. Albert Einstein

Here's mine...
I went through Atlanta 2 years ago and all I could think was "what the crap am I doing here!!! Traffic sucks and high speed traffic can be deadly...I just assume they're all out to kill you and drive accordingly.
Good stuff thanks!

Now that is totally sweet. Consider some additional braking capability on the front, but, my goodness, that's a gorgeous ride. Thanks for sharing all the pics here.

how do you post a you-tube video like that...I've tried but I guess I did something wrong...it never works for me
Thanks Lod...I consider it therapy...and cheaper in the long run than a shrink :?)
I guess I finally figured out how to post these things...here's one of the best cycle songs ever written...Seger...He's THE man!
Go to Share, then embed, left click to highlight, right click and copy, then back here to reply or post, left click to blink, and then paste. If I can do it, anyone can.

Well done, and great choice. Bob, and the SBB, are the best.

no doubt...that song ALWAYS puts me "in the mood" to find out where some road goes. Geez...I have a patient/understanding wife...or maybe she's thinking about the life insurance... :?)
what you don't like pot hole extravaganzas?
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Well, if you get three foot monkey bars and eight foot forks for Christmas...look out. Have fun, and ride safely. There's plenty enough idiots out there.

Ours. Honda VTX 1800/110 cubic inches, 110 horse power 120 ft/lbs torque at the rear wheel. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
I'm told that this video is a year old and that he got hit this year and died. Apparently there was a guy in Spain doing the same thing that also died.

That is a nice scooter. Looks brand new. I used to have a Harley. '65 model panhead. I guess if I still had it and could afford to I would make a chopper out of it.

At least they died with a maniacal grin on their 80IQ domes.

Yeah, it is not a bad thing to be "paranoidial"* when you ride a motorcycle. *Ax Ike invented that word.

Farmfriend....THAT'S SWEET!!! And a HUGE powerplant to boot. I had mine rebuilt to 103 Cubes and I'm looking at 90 hp and 100 torque...it's a drug, isn't it. I just got back from the Outer Banks bike rally a couple weeks ago. Me and a friend went to Sturgis several years ago (1700 miles one way) and at night we'd crash out in our sleeping bags laying beside the bikes, just staring at the stars. Nothing like it. Do you ever do any of the rallies?
You're most welcome.

Dang James...sometimes I'm really not sure it IS being paranoid...I'm often completely convinced they're out to get me... LOL!!!
they ALL do!
It's easy. Just click where it says "share" and then click on the link that says "embed" and copy and paste the embed link. Some of them will say something like embedding disabled by request. It took me a few tries to get the Easy Riders one I posted because of that.

Thanks James...it's an 07. It just turned 34k miles. I used to have a chopper with the long rake and king/queen seat...they look good but I just can't do the miles per day on one of those things...I'm getting, well,....older. But STILL a youngster at heart!
I was always convinced they were out to get me too. Could be one thing that kept me alive for this long.

I ride motorcycles, am a member of the Iron Butt Association (over 1,000 miles in 24 hours) and have cruised for hours at 85-95 on the open, almost vacant, roads of the mid-west. This guy is not long for the world...it's seldom what YOU do that gets you killed...it's almost always something the other driver does that "gets you"...talking on cell phones, fiddeling with the radio, putting on make-up, reading a map...the list goes on and on....

I did too but it wasn't a Harley. Got my Harley after that. But my chopper was something to behold and beat you to death. But pretty doesn't describe it, it was beautiful. It had a 16 over, twisted springer front end, 10 degree rake (iirc), Amen rigid frame, king and queen seat, Maltese cross mirrors and brake light and one in the sissy bar and a custom paint job. Only thing left stock on that bike was the toolbox and I had it chromed.
