all that street racing, stunting etc, made it almost unbearable for those who didn't.

...this is why we can have nice things.

He was a little upset that I sold it back to MDRB’s younger brother but got over it quickly when I told him I would renew his X-Box Live for a year with the money I got back out of it.

My godson was like that. I gave his motorcycle to my wife. 2 years of begging me for one then 5 minutes of riding it there was no way he was going to get anything out of it. Friggen frustrating. He is 25 now, still has never owned a car. I don't get it.

I ride really fast most of the time because I can get by with it. Put 3k miles on the zx11 and 6k miles on the zx14 last year. I upgraded the car so I would ride less and increase my odds of survival that way.

I figure this is as good of place as any to put these. It's from the 'Art of the Chopper' exhibit at Union Station a year or so ago. Very cool. But no OCC bikes, which was dissapointing ~

Obviously, alot of these are simply 'art'.

My '01 ZX 6R. she was mean; carburated i believe, and had all sorts of crazy flat spots in the power band; she was 'wicked'.

I absolutely know I will. :evil:

Widely considered one of the best onboard motorcycle rides of the Nordschleife.

Manufacturers use the Nordschleife to test handling and durability:

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Slx0EmJo85c?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Nurburgring Nordschleife is the most dangerous track anywhere in the world.

Enjoy

JFC :eek:

(avoid being next to BigDaddy whilst watching this - for obvious reasons)

Love the 'orange peel' on the rear tire at the very beginning. :evil: I've explained this to the wife a few times until she finally understood it after seeing my tire before, and after a track day (though not nearly to the degree, and to the sidewall extreme of the vid). :evil:

What's also crazy is there at the end, you can hear that motor keep pulling after she's already going like a raped ape.
Nothing like hitting the rev limiter in 6th gear on a ZX10. Mother of christ.

Room for error on that track 10%.
Room for error on that track on a bike: 1%

....that track is scary as shit in a car. That track is LONG and sick. You hear that name and instantly go "whoa" regardless of 'how' you're traversing the track. all the undulations in the track etc. I can't imagine rolling through that on any bike other than an expertly training suspension.

even then, I'd have to make sure my life insurance policy was up to date and that I was riding on the Monday after the Chiefs 1st playoff loss.

Dayze:

The video is legendary among racing enthusiasts because of the driver’s eye view of the track.

I was hesitant to post it - Therefore, I am glad you enjoyed it.
