The "Man" looses one!

Nothing, except in this theoretical instance the 6’ long extended swing arm.

Great for the hill climbs.
I'm old enough to remember putting knobby tires on sporters and racing circle track straight from the dealership.
Back when real men called that a factory ride.
Of all the bikes I've owed the two most fun were my tripple 2 stroke 750 Kawasaki and my RZ 350 Yamaha, could ride wheelies for miles.

My first bike was a Belinelli 60.
I currently own a few collectables.
They are Ossa's, Husqvarna's, Macio's,Pentons along with a stable of Yamaha's of every year since the early 70's
I was around when WERA was founded and raced Ninjas and FZR'S when we got tired of motorcycles with a brick and a hole in it for a carburetor.
But for you to make a bullshit comment about 200Hp Harley's tells me you're pretty young and snobbish.
Here's 129 inches that I'll give to you if you have the balls to ride it up on the cam and keep it there through all 6 gears
PS, that bike is probably older than you.View attachment 7055267

Do you mean a Benelli Buzzer??? Damn that was a long time ago.. Mine was a Honda 70.

No argument. Haven’t been to many hill climbs in the ghetto though.

Til you run with the “ Getto” people on Busas you should shut the fuck up, you dont know what the fuck you are talking about.. ran with them in Miami for years, like a cotton ball in a coal field,,not a bad oindividual amongst them... everyone of them had a job to pay for their fun,,,,unless you are a road pirate and pissed about not getting your yessuh master suh from your victims... too fucking bad then.

Why the fuck would a person who rides and races street alter the geometry of a bike the factory has spent thousands of man hours developing and tuning?

That’s all. Am I missing the benefit of an extended swing arm on a non drag or hill climb bike?


Also I didn’t comment originally intending to point out my perceived deficiencies of all motor cycles or pick on black folks or anyone for that matter.

I thought I was pointing out that the same people who were championing the fact this group of asshat white folks got off Scott free and are typically the same folks bitching when there is public outcry when some black asshat gets shot.

How can one be pro asshat bikers and anti asshat black kid?

Weight transfer coming out of the hole.
Which is easier to loop in an all out up on the pipe/powerband, something short or something long?

That reminds me of a Yamaha 250 2stroke cafe racer I drove around ft Lewis.. it was a lot of fun out all the range roads. Took it to Seattle twice.. man it’s no fun being on two wheels when suddenly everyone is passing you in 5oclock traffic and you have it redlined..

My pap rides a Harley. We used to go to the Harley drags in Reynolds every year.. LOL talk about a place for a 10-11-12-13 year old kid, I saw more titties than you could imagine. If ya never been, think Mardi Gras, every chick you go past holler out "BEADS! I GOT BEADS!" and they all lift their shirt up. Had a few DD girls stuff my face in their tits. It was like a whole nother world lol. Those Harley dudes know how to party, good god. Me and my older brother's friend ended up on the back of this golf cart one time and got taken wayy out in the woods to this super sketchy Hells Angels party/bonfire, that was scary as fuck they ran us off basically at gunpoint. I thought they was gone kill the dude that drove us there, hell they might have for all I know...never saw em again. Some of them Harleys are pretty fast, dont get confused. I just like sport bikes better.

Anyhow, I still love riding off road. Really wanna get a KTM 300 2 stroke, or maybe a 250. But I want a road bike more at this point. Only thing that scares is getting head shake at 70+mph. Is that something you gotta worry about on road bikes? I topped out my YZ 125 one time and got head shake, bit the dust HARD and its been a worry in the back of my mind ever since..
