Look, I understand you want to be special and feel like you are a part of some elite society, but ninja's aren't that difficult to learn. I went from a little Honda to a Kawasaki and the difference was....I leaned forward 45 deg. ooh. aah. My god, you act like its near impossible to learn how to drive something different than what you originally were taught with. I don't know, maybe I'm just gifted with anything that has a engine I guess.

And no, I was not implying that they catch up fast because of speed or the bike in question. Again you are reading something that is not there. I said our officers are like traffic ninja's as in they sneak up on you without being spotted. I even gave an example in noting an officer was using cars for cover as he snuck up on another vehicle. If he sped up on that car in this fashion he would have an issue with running into the other cars in traffic. So please, stop, just stop. You can't interpret sentences for ****. I'm writing plain and simple words here, not the Da vinci code.





Take note at the speed he is going. Now I am going to quote directly from my motorcycle handbook:

In normal turns, the rider and the motorcycle should lean together at the same angle.
In slow tight turns, counterbalance by leaning the motorcycle only and keeping your body straight.

What does this mean? The officer was taking slow tight turns, thus he counterbalanced. And then you change it up and say it would be dangerous to do on a sportbike when taking corners fast.

When taking corners fast....


Well no **** dummy, it would be dangerous to do that on any bike.

Look, if you want to carry on this bickering then PM me and I'll give you plenty of attention, but like the other guy said, let this thread be about just riding, not who's got the better bike.

You do know that your head can actually rotate around your neck so you can check your blind spot right?

Even in a 14 thousand pound box van I don't have any trouble checking my blind spot. I have never even come close to hitting a motorcyclist who wasn't otherwise riding like a giant *******.

Regardless of where the bike was, or how far in your blindspot he may have been, that was 100% your own fault for not checking said bind spot. The average biker is far more aware and safe on the road than the average cager.


You have eyes. Use them. A motorcycle is no harder to see than a smart car, but I don't see people crying about how they are "invisible" on the roads.

Listen. Read the posts between you and me. Really read them well, especially your posts and try to figure out who is taking it too personal here and who is not. I'll give you a hint: "You sure are sensitive, princess". You are the one getting all emotional with your snide comments. So lets just stop...

On the same note, upgrading to new bike, a sportbike question:
Going from a Ninja 250 (which I'm keeping for track), any recommendations on a 600cc for daily driver and weekend haulass?

I'm a bit of a Kawasaki fan. With reliability being more or less equal across the board it really boils down to ergo, esthetics, $$ and some top-end characteristics that majority of riders probably wouldn't notice.
So far the possible upgrades I have in mind are:
- 06-07 636
- 09+ zx6r

Another one I'm seriously considering is Daytona 675 for its slick profile, undertail exhaust, quick flick and smooth powerband. If I can actually find this bike used for sale. Any strong opinions one way or another?

I know nothing about sportbikes but I know the Ninja 650 has the helmet holding dohickey under the seat and looks pretty cool and is 600cc. Also affordable http://www.indomotorcycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/2011_Kawasaki_Ninja_650R_04.jpg

Well yes, but apparently I've also learned that you lack the ability to read, since my last post addressed this. You're an idiot.

To be fair, I am not the one who almost ran over a biker and now has an irrational fear of motorcycles.

Irrational fear? I would just rather not get on something where, if one does get into an accident, one tends to lose bodily function in one form or another.

I would hardly call that irrational.

Then you should stay out of your car, and line your walls with mattresses. And never leave the house.

And employ armed guards.


There is a chance of severe injury in every facet of life. There are things which are far more dangerous than riding a motorcycle.

1990 harley fxts soft tail :) ...only rode once last sumer now breaks are stiking ..oh well

I use a Mospeada.

And I'm gonna kick your ass with it.

I ride a 2008 yamaha R6S.

it has a scrape on the lower left fairing now cuz when i was new i parked it on gravel and it fell over. lesson learned i guess.

wtb light cycle

http://www.bitrebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Real-Electrical-Tron-Light-Cycle-1.jpg

That's the electric version that was made and they did a good job with it. Another one was made before that with a gasoline engine which sounded like ****.

Battery
Combustion

My only issue is that it looks really uncomfortable to actually ride. Personally I'd rather go for this.

I'm a Tron dork so I would actually go buy the electric one just because it's awesome but I don't know where my massive balls would go on it .

That Dodge thing looks a little too Caldari for my likes...

Maybe if the front wheel were brought in just a little to make the handles reachable it'd be more considerable. As it is, it looks like the guy is stretching as far as he can just to reach the handles which really must make turning a *****, not to mention the stress on your arms after riding it for even 5 minutes.



/looks in mirror

Yeah it is damn sexy isn't it. But a true caldari bike would be uniform on the right side and the pistons on the left side would extend out 2 ft and a little wheel would be added somewhere.

I like my Mospeada more. Not even a Light Cycle can get cooler than a Mospeada.

In game channel "motorcycles". Do it.

Needs moar social.
