hey yall how's it going
we were talking bikes on the facebooks so i reckon i would post a little something here for mal to make fun of. i got me a cool little motorbike: and this fucking kickass helmet: it's an 07 yamaha v-star classic and yea it's orange and white and yea it's only a 650. but i really love it and i've put just over 1k miles on it so far. |
Re: motorsickle thread
hondo i'm doubtful about sturgis but we'll see.
i don't know if my little scooty could keep up with you road king boys. highways fine on this bike (~65mph) but anything over that is pushing it. it'll go, but it's really vibrate-y. i need a 6th gear real bad. |
Re: motorsickle thread
and yea i took the msf and did horrible at it :DBD:

Re: motorsickle thread
I think I saw that "kickass helmet" in a bowling alley in 1982. It's good to see it was recycled.

Re: motorsickle thread
looks rather pedestrian. I would have imagined you riding something a bit more punk.
still a cool bike |

I like the creamsickle paint scheme Helmet is horrid though, function and looks wise. I'd think that little 650 would be smooth but iv never ridden one. My old Yamaha 700 Maxim 4 banger bike was good to 80. Does it maybe need teh tuneup? |

Hay look it's the fat and furious! |
Re: motorsickle thread
Glad you finally got a bike dude. The helmet though...that's gotta go. I think I saw one like that in a store new in 1973. You get you a clip on windshield for it and your problems art highway speed will likely disappear.

i threw another ~120 on the clock today and after about 80 of em i was good and tired. average speed on the highway was 5-10 over meaning 65-75 and the high rpm just kind of sucks. my body wasn't tingling from the vibrations like it has been so i figure i'll just get used to it over time, i dont know. i still want a 6th gear though.

the bike came with a quick release window but i took it off the second i got in the driveway. if i were to really do some miles i reckon i would throw it back on. it's not the wind that bothers me at highway speed, it's the high rpm and no 6th gear. |
