I love the black bike, black helmet and white shorts! quite a fassion statement. How many of you get into "revving competitions" at a stop light? > http://www.r1-forum.com/gallery/data/511/28103squid.mpeg Outstanding! Almost unbelievable that such a sight was caught on film, no less ;-) Around here we see that kinda of stuff everyday. Even worst, some of them end up in terrible accidents. The last guy had to have multiple grafts of skin to his hands and chest. He was wearing a t-shirt, shorts, no gloves, and tennis shoes at the time of the accident. 5 months later he watched his friend do the same thing. Glad I don't ride with them. I still need to upgrade my protection gear. I currently use the tech stuff. > > http://www.r1-forum.com/gallery/data/511/28103squid.mpeg > > Outstanding!

Bwaaaaa, hhaaaa ROTFLMAO!! How about those guys with the "flip-flops" (rubber shower shoes) on? I saw one the other day with a half naked girl on the back to match. Both, short-shorts, cut-off tee shirts, flip-flops and half-helments. "C'mon hon I just bought this new GSXR 1000, it's all the rage."

Does wonders for the rest of rocket riders when this crap goes on. Well, vindication is going to the MSF Intermediate course (as I did this past saturday) and seeing that 6 out of 9 people there were there because they failed the riding test in the basic course the year before, and they've all been riding for years.. .and most of THEM still cannot ride safely... and ALL of them are cruiser riders, most own HDs. And yep... one even failed again. And one should have.. but they can only take 10 points off max per test. hehe.. oh, and the outfit of said squid... at least a shirt wouldn't look to stupid. :) Chris Signature'85 VF500F 3rd Kyu Bujinkan Techno DJ/Producer Web Developer and General Geek http://www.crossfade.com/t-snake/abahb.php >> http://www.r1-forum.com/gallery/data/511/28103squid.mpeg >> Rich S. [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > look to stupid. :) > Chris When I took the MSF course a few people were asked to leave. With the way they completely disregarded what the instructor is saying, I dont se how they would ever pay attention to the traffic laws. I think a lot of people also buy a bike for the image, but have no idea what they are doing, and end up getting them selves in trouble since they dotn knwo how to control such a big bike. (refering mainly to the streched/ raked choppers) Been riding bikes all my life from little 3.5HP briggs to my now GSX-R750 and I think the MSF course was great I learned allot and there were more than one person there bragging about how much they new and you can tell they had no clue what they were doing. I fact two failed because they fell. I think the course should be the test it would make allot more safe riders. I recommend it to any rider especially new ones they can walk away with the knowledge to stay safe. You are correct most of the guys were getting or had big cruisers. In my state (Pa) they supply little 125's and 250's for the test. I could not imagine going from never riding a bike to a 20,000+ dollar Harley but people do it. Not basing HD I own a 1987 but man is it heavy I can't imagine it as my fist bike I would of laid it down for sure. How was the Intermediate??? Here in Pa. the intermediate is not a pass fail thing it just teaches better skills for faster riding I was thinking of taking it.

I want to go to the second class, maybe at the end of summer. when I got my license, I really wanted to get the Ducati ST4. I went down to the dealership and test road a used one (after only taking the MSF class. After stalling the thing three times in a row, taking it down to the end of the street, stallling it three more times, making a U turn and returning it. I knew I was being dumb and knew I would hurt myself on that bike. Got the SV650s instead, Still a v-twin, its been a great bike, but still want that ST4! Now with some miles behind me, I would feel a lot more confident on the big bike now.

Here in Pa. the intermediate is not a pass > fail thing it just teaches better skills for faster riding I was > thinking of taking it. I'm in VT. It was pretty much like one day of the riding in basic.. but the curriculum was different this year. I didn't have to take the test, but since some of the people were nervous (and I didn't feel they needed to be) I decided I'd take it and go first... to help them ease in. One exercise that waqs new was doing double Uies in a small rectangle... ya got 3 points off for touching the sides. Yikes. I touched once, just BARELY, but it's not horseshoes, so I lost 3 points. ,----------> / ,--, \___/ | >____>____/ Also was aother cool one I liked... break before a narrow path and ride through it using only clutch control. It's also more laid back knowing I don't NEED to pass another test.. hehe (especially since I'm back in school and stress enough about the next linear algebra quiz/test). :) Chris Signature'85 VF500F 3rd Kyu Bujinkan Techno DJ/Producer Web Developer and General Geek http://www.crossfade.com/t-snake/abahb.php Previously on alt.motorcycle.sportbike, Chris Moran said: ; Also was aother cool one I liked... break before a narrow path and ride ; through it using only clutch control. The "slow ride"? When I took the beginner's course last year, it wasn't "only using clutch control", it was "slow and straight". The instructors said to use the clutch so you can rev high for the gyroscopic effect it gives and still only creep along. I think that one has a minimum time to go through as well as the standard "don't touch the lines".

Once again, the law and "safety" getting in the way of Darwin. Besides, the helmet keeps the head intact so he can be more easily identified at the morgue. > > why bother with the helmet? > > Helmet law I'm sure. Depends on when the video was taken. It looks like Florida; they repealed thier helmet law a couple years ago. Considering all the other riders have helmets on, I bet it was before the helmet law was repealed. I see lots of riders not wearing lids now.
