Haven't you heard, motorcycles are invisible!
Eye contact means nothing, right of way means nothing,
based on your description your reaction to a potential danger situation was delayed.

There is only one way to survive street on a motorcycle and that is to outride them all.

And that I could do for sure inc you.

BP.. freedom 55 baby am 52...sooo unless nk launches rockets or meteor hits earth I think I will be just fine

...soooo good night and we can assume battle positions tomm.
Peace out

In the absence of friction travel becomes a function of trajectory.

Cant help myself

In the presence of friction ejaculation is guarenteed and trajectory controlled

The pinecone thing doesn't bug me lol I'm pretty sure everyone here has been down over some dumb *** reason.

You would be wrong ...2/3 of riders never go down on pavement ...including me over 50 years.
Off pavement yeah, zero speed tips yeh....dumb reason on the road ....you are in the bottom third it appears...

9/10ths can change a spark plug.

So ABS is gonna miraculously stop you? You still need enough room for abs to stop you and if you dont have no way out....as in swerve or change lanes whatever.. what you gonna do ride that puppy into side of vehicle hell no Im tossing it like a salad...have it perfected lay er down use seat push off bike avoid impending delivery of pain

Use the seat to push off? Are your an action movie star or Marc Marquez or high?


As someone who's crashed bikes in all places and varieties, I can comfortably say that's never going to work for you.

So how does the motorcycle industry being in trouble actually affect me?...after all these threads and reading the article, it seems like the only real people affected are the companies businesses and the people who work for them.

ABS lets you control the bike under full bore braking and yeah swerve around while under full braking....been there done that.
More important tho your bike is a big crush zone - if you have to hit - hit square on - the shocks and front end all protect you and you get launched upward.

Even that idjit YamaMama survived head on with a Porche

The bike and the car "crushed" and he launched upward.

and this rider hit the deer square on

Stayed upright, rode the bike home ....I got the RDL seat and his photos

Less research and innovation into a sunset industry

On the other hand

In 2014, 1.4 million electric bikes were sold in the European Union, compared with 907,000 the year before and 98,000 in 2006, according to figures from the Confederation of the European Bicycle Industry (Conebi).

Electric bikes could grow from 200 million today to 2 billion in 2050 ...
https://www.nextbigfuture.com › Technology
Apr 27, 2017 - It should be noted that the Chinese market growth of 5 million units per year is still more than double the total number of ebikes sold in Europe last year. During the first half of 2014, the production of lithium battery equipped e-bikes reached 1.7 million units; an increase of 36% and accounted for over 50% ..

follow the money....

The performance segment is small but progressing ....

Events like the Isle of Man TT Zero

the transition is moving very quickly. Two wheel activity is alive and well. Just not so much as we know it.

I checked in on it a few times. Started out about motorcycles, someone bashed Harleys I think, then there was an argument about house prices for a few pages, then someone mentioned bodily functions, and now we're kinda back on motorcycles, but nothing to do with the original topic it seems.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Rotax still makes a pretty good motor.
Maybe it would help if BRP reintroduced an affordable line of Canadian designed and built Can-Am motorcycles

I think the problem is too many trolls. Gives legitimate riders a bad name.

I sense an IP ban in works

I wonder if all the adverts i've been seeing will pull out if traffic to the site reduces?

Oooh my please noòoo... like signing up a new profile on my phone or through someone elses IP would be so difficult. Already have new name ready. At least I dont directly insult people and call names like some here.
Maybe your " warm helmet or quiet helmet thread" is gonna bring traffic and more ads.:lmao:

I imagine getting access to a cell in a cell will be difficult if caught driving high

also bragging about it on a motorcycle forum is probably a bad idea, my suggestion dont mention it in the real world, you wont have a screen to hide behind kiddo
