Baja BRP! The diagram looks a little 2-strokey to me, but I’m guessing that’s just some generic motor graphic they had. No rad either...but **** it, after almost 10 years of waiting, writing letters, leaving messages, I’m going to believe that they finally listened to me. I’ll go put a deposit on one as soon as it is…

Mild water cooled 650, magic button, and a plate, and ship 4 to my door. Seriously. Power of a 450 but with minimal maintenance (relatively), it would be the perfect overland vehicle. And would make a great street tard for people who have been burned by enough Eurojunk to want to go back to Big Red.

I’ve had pretty much everything over the years, but mostly for the last 4 or 5 years I’ve been on motarded XR650Rs including a lot of 200-400 mile days (Seat Concepts <3 ). I also have a Husky SM510R which I rarely ride because of the maintenance, but it is a mad, mad thing and nothing else I’ve ridden is as fun when…

The Boss adds Ford to the 3 F’s, if you know that expression. This from a guy who owned one. Fun, engaging, looks good, and a complete piece of ****. Take a quick peek at the Boss owner’s forum and you will see why. I have all the common issues, plus a couple extra ones, and Ford refused to fix any of the issues under…

I meant pussycat in that it is too smooth, not in that it is slow. Too refined. At least for my taste. I like a little edge. Now, if you are pinned all the time, then it probably will stand up and party pretty good, but that isn’t how most bikes spend most of their time. Piddling around town or even up in the hills it…

You had me, right up until you said parallel twin. They are always ****. I was hoping for a new Dr. Big. The flatulence of an 800 cc single alone would be worth the price.

So you are saying they sold 12.4 million brown Corrolas? Or is the picture just ****?

While I don’t disagree that it is annoying, your analogies don’t hold up. You can’t wrap your grandparents in leather or stop them from aging to prevent or minimize their dying, but you can gear up or stop riding (it is recreational, after all) to prevent crashing. For cancer, you can do things to minimize the chances…

Late to the party, but I’m glad you are okay! I’ve had a lot of minor crashes (supermoto :shrugs: ) and a couple big ones but I’ve never gotten hurt bad. I would have if I hadn’t been wearing full gear, but to each their own. Don’t judge my Italian flag leathers, and I won’t judge your cords. Unless you wear flip…

What kind of AAA do you have? Even my platinum only covers a 200 mile tow.

+1 on Seat Concepts. First accessory I will buy for every dirt bike. I threw one on my XR650R before a 400 mile high speed ride through the mountains past THill with a bunch of sport bikes and nakeds, and I was in better condition at the end than anyone else. And shut up, the hand doesn’t count! My fingers should all…

I’m currently at 5, but I have the Hyper for sale and I’m thinking about converting one of the plated BRPs back to enduro. That leaves just big bike, other BRP, and the track supermoto. As you can probably tell, I’ve been trying to convince myself to just get it lol but I have bikes and cars tucked in 4 people’s…

Yeah, near Stanford. Are you planning on doing parking lots or renting a track? THill can be pretty expensive if you don’t get enough people out, but we were thinking kart tracks since they won’t get going all that fast anyways. I seem to remember the Sears kart track being pretty reasonably priced for weekdays.

When it is too wet for the big bike, but not wet enough for the Sti, it’s supermoto time. I haven’t figured out the whole not crashing part yet, though.

Some of the trackday and racing league organizers set shorter limits, because lawyers. If you leave it out in the sun all the time it can go bad pretty fast, and when people get hurt they sue everybody, including the organizer that allowed them out with rotten gear.

I’d be happy with a decent thumper in one, for instance an XR650R motor. Because I don’t have enough BRP motors exploded in my living room right now...

The GromPrix. My friends have been considering it, but whenever I try to get them to the dealer for the group buy they all back out.

Is 5 years the consensus on street helmets? I thought it was 2 years, and track was 1 year from manufacture? From talking to various manufacturers of auto safety equipment (my ex was well connected in the industry), they all agreed off-gassing is a myth and it is a combination of actual use (mostly sweat and oils) and…

You can also try wrapping part of the cord around a pencil and hitting it with a hair dryer. Makes them spiral like a phone cord.

Your name is great. That is all.
