I run a 01 CBR f4i..pics to come

I work for a honda dealership here in edmonton! I get to drool over all the new '09's!! The Honda Fury chopper is set to arrive in June. Of the 2 we were supposed to get, they had deposits on them the next day after being announced! lol! we managed to get 4 more I believe and all but one have deposits!

Over all I am a sport bike/ dirt bike kinda girl. Ride Red... or don't ride! lol!

i am still looking, but fyi for anyone in calgary... walt healy is having their midnight madness sale next friday

OOOH thanks for reminding lorenzO. I'll need a different helmet (can't wear a racing helmet with a chopper style bike) and some clothes...

Finally a thread on bikes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggri n:

Will post pics of my bikes. Just waiting for camera to charge :smile::smile:

I agree, my friend bought the similar version that was out a few years back and paid like 8K down in California. Last time I was down there, I rode his bike and man it was nice! But again, just not the kind of style I can pull off...I look ridiculous riding a chopper. But if I grew my bread out some more, wore more leather and got way more tattoos, then just maybe :lol:

I have a friend who was born into a Biker family (Hells Angels) and he was saying I am exactly the kind of dude they love to see riding choppers cause its so easy to make fun of...

grew your bread eh? LOL

I have a few family members that are "members" LOL

Well I would have to if I want to ride a chopper wouldn't I??? Isn't that a prerequisite? Well, unless I want to look like some of those dudes you hear coming down the road on a loud chopper and then when you turn to check them out, you kind of think...'what the heck is that guy doing on that bike???'

Yeah that would be me on a chopper. I suit the Ducati much more ;)

Who cares what you look like on a certain bike! If you like it, ride it, damn the torpedoes... and others' opinions. I kind of thought that's what biking is all about?

My bike

great looking bikes everyone!

GSP...You said BREAD not BEARD,,,but that's fine ;)

I loved my Katana, but that was when I was a little crazier (because, you know, I"m not now :rolleyes: )

I'm stoked to ride this bike in the next year. I figure I'll take this summer to work on it and then ride it next year. There's just something bad ass about a big bike..especially when everyone here rides one and we park infront of the shop...

Here another pic. of my Dad's cool chopper with him on it.

Since i have my money saved up for school, its time to try and get a loan for a bike. fingers crossed, i promised my parents when i was 14 i would wait till i was 22. even waited a bit more. going to pick up my gear next weekend

Any idea as to what type of bike? You strike me as a crotch rocket type...

When I brought her home:

I sold her last fall and don't know what I am going to get for this season yet.

lol how did you know. well for my first bike i am debating if i should buy a new Kawasaki ninja 250r to play it safe for the first 2 years (with a full yoshi exhaust of course) or listen to my friends and pick up a honda f4i/600rr or a gsx-r 600. I took my friends f4 for a rip last year and he has a 64 spoke sproket, thats what got me hooked on stunting. thing just wanted to go up.

here is a video of the off axis guys, if it works

wow sick vid..

That vid was pretty sick in the slang sense through out most of it but the last part was this kind of sick :puke:

This my Honda VTX1800f that I had for 3 years ... sold it in January ... looking for a ZX14 now ... FYI for those that like to ride a *little* over the posted limit ... get a laser jammer ( laser interceptor is a good one ) and a good radar detector ( valentine 1, Belltronics or esort are good too )

I used a RX65 on my bike the last couple seasons and it saved my butt more than once :)

Sharp looking Bike, and thanks for the tip.

Lorenzo...My first bike was a Katana, was decent for getting into it, but those other bikes you mentioned blow it out of the water.

Where on Earth are you planning on stunting in Calgary?!

My bikes have 4 wheels :wink:

You forgot to include a picture Murray... seeing as how I have one, I'll post it for you. :razz::razz:

:lol::lol::lol:

LOL! Geeeeez. :lol:

zing!

Hey, anyone seen those bikes that have the two wheels up front and one in the back?

I can't decide if I like them or not.

I have. I even went so far as to look them up once, but do you think I could remember the URL or name or anything? I gotta stop drinking out of aluminum cans.

I also remember they profiled them on Discovery a few years back when they first started popping up.

To me it seems kind of neat. But I wonder what it's like cornering on them. I'm not motorbiker (although I ride two wheels a lot so I *sort* of know what I'm talking about here...maybe??), but it seems to me part of the allure is the banking into a turn? With 3 wheels you're not going to get the same feel (whether the duallie is in the front or in the rear??) ..I dunno though?

Here you go:

Was checking it out at the bike show. They are kind of neat and would be a great getting around town vehicle for better weather. Not really a bike though :-)

My thoughts exactly. I've seen a few in Calgary and the don't do anything for me really. But hey, I'm sure my bike doesn't do much for some people either. To each their own!

Can Am Spyder is the bike you speak of.

Unless you mean the Piaggio scooter

http://www.piaggiousa.com/scooters/M...50-02-1024.jpg

there is a place called the lot in the industrial area (where that video i posted was filmed). where they allow stunting.

ya, i looked into the 250r more and the 600's are starting to look like a better choice. so friday after work i get to go buy my helmet YAH

Rode in on my Honda 750 Shadow ACE today. Just a little frostbite on my fingers :)

I like my heated grips for just that reason. And my heated jacket liner :mrgreen:

I came up behind one of these on my R1200C on Westside Road (a real twisty between Vernon & Kelowna). Obviously does not corner anything like a two wheeler and I had no trouble sticking to his tail. Could have passed him with little trouble except that Westside Road doesn't offer too many real safe opportunities to pass. I got the crazy stuff out of my system long ago and like to think I owe my longevity to making smarter decisions after a few close calls. Anyhow, he had to really lean his upper body into the turn, like a snowmobiler might, to compensate for the centrifugal force of cornering. Reminded me of the guys in the old sidecar races I used to watch. I also noticed he would accelerate hard out of the turn, which a bike does too, but he had to brake harder than a two wheeler prior to entering turns. Maybe fun for a while, but as you say, I didn't get the impression you'd get the same exhilaration as you do leaning a two wheeler into a turn and shaving a little paint/metal off the footpegs. I think it would get old pretty quick for me.

I used to ride Dirt bikes in my teens, then street: 81 Suzuki GS400E, 80 Suzuzki GS1100E, Honda 750 moved up to crotchrockets 86 Suzuki GSXR750 and finally 93 Honda CBR900RR. My son is now 11 so we are thinking of getting back into dirt bking. I almost brought this baby home last summer but the wife said............... obvious what her answer was as I previously mentioned "almost". So Our fun vehicle for now is the JCW Mini below! :dance:

So .. speaking of 3-wheelers and banking, check this thing out..

And, although it has nothing to do with banking on corners, I saw this webpage too, looks pretty keen:

Got a pic of my bf's bike. It's for sale if by the off chance anyone's interested. :D

Well i had mine out for tne first time this year yesterday so all it needs is a bath and i wil post a pic.

Had my new one in at Blackfoot for the first service Thursday. Picked it up yesterday and went for a test ride on another BMW, the K1300GT. It was the BMW Demo Day yesterday and I'd pre-booked the test ride. I was very impressed with the GT, very fast, very smooth, very comfortable and very expensive. All the things I like in a bike :lol:

'00 GSXR 750, ex-track bike, completely redone plastics with custom paint and the motoGP replica graphics.....All done by me one weekend....Been a good bike for the last 4 years!

So i am still looking for a bike and as of june 1st i will hopefully have the loan and a decent downpayment on a bike

my question to you guys is... did you buy your bikes new or used? i just can't justify paying $5500 for a 02 honda f4i when i can pay $8000 for a brand new zx6-r but as a first bike eveyone is warning me not to buy new cause i will get ****ed when i drop a brand new bike. but i also want to dish out the cash for the 09 zx6-r
