Motorcycles
 

If you've ever seen pictures or video of the Isle of Man TT Races you know how tough it is with narrow streets, tight turns, and bumps that become launch ramps at speed. That's why this made my jaw drop...

That right there, that's racing.

How did that bike haul those yuuuge fucking balls around the IoM???

135 and change?!?! Lap average? Damn.

37.75 miles...in a little over 16.5 minutes. On the deadliest race course in the world.

The world's first 3D-printed motorcycle.

That's easy, he just doesn't let his front tire hit the ground.

What no Harley's?

Here is an electric Harley Davidson.

To beat him first you gotta pass him...

Hyahh!

Thems not Harleys' thems BMWs'.

That explains how he has four of them, and they're all running at the same time.

:stickpoke

Indians! Circle the wagons, run for your lives!

Watching or re-watching "The World's Fastest Indian" is highly recommended.

Agree, he was a dedicate sumbitch.

Agreed.

What's a motorcycle thread without a little extra eye candy?

Aaand one of my bucket list items, the 2017 Moto Guzzi MGX-21 Flying Fortress, whew, that's a mouthful.

Double v-twin...

Lot of genuine skill, enginuity, and creativity...But, ultimately useless.

The purple and gold works, though.

Enginutiy - didja see what I did there?

You're right, it's art rather than machine.

Double your pleasure, double your fun...

Quadruple your turning radius.

I watched a guy low speed dump a cruiser yesterday. He went into an awkward intersection turning left uphill when an ambulance passed everybody in the uphill line taking away his lane. He went down and the ambulance went on its merry way. He looked okay but fucking shook up, stalling the bike twice before rolling it up on the sidewalk to think about life for a while.

I think qualifies as a motorcycle.

Cool video, but most won't like it cuz no more wheelies for sure.

What?! It's wheelies all the way down!

It's a constant wheelie.

I think that is very well done whatever it is, but it must cost more for shoes than gas.

This has been a good thread I have enjoyed it. Thanks.

We do it all for you, Captain. ;)

Sweet ^^^. Try this one.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...654d4b0717.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8df5914c2f.jpg

Had a semi-chopped 73 Honda 750 4 w/apehangers and extended forks. It would stand straight up in third gear.

It was like riding an wild, un-broken stallion. You had to work at staying on it, all the time.

As it turned out, my neighbor had built the bike and engine from the ground up years before when he did that sort of thing. It still had the paint job he put on it, and that's how he recognized the bike. He said he had had reservations about the bike, when the guy came to pick it up, it was so wild. He dug his shit out and helped me sync the carbs and tune it up real good.

This was before he turned into a cat stealing, scumbag sumbitch.

Here's some posers going to Myrtle Beach from Virginia. I thought here are some real hoods if there ever was , but one is a dentist and the other a school principal.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b47a4cdb6c.jpg

and the men are just arm candy?

"and the men are just arm candy?"
LOL

I guess we have nationalized trash. That logo is what we gots in Mendocino County, 3000 miles away.

We just started with this outfit. Better service cheaper price. Modern trucks with an arm in the front to pick up cans. The trucks don't leave a spot of hydraulic fluid everywhere they stop. Yup much better.

Waste Management, national mob controlled trash service...

But of course.

I'd like one of these

Not bad.

I kinda like that fatter tire look. And the fake carb.

none more black

It looks fun to ride, but dosen't have a spot for a rainsuit. Honestly you would think all bikes would have a driveshaft by now.

Kind of looks like my BSA Gold Star, but over twice the engine.

is a fake carb like fake news?

Motorcycles just aren't appropriate for some dates...

Powered by a 99cc 2-stroke...

What?

No hawg jokes?

A biker was going out with an accountants wife on the sly, but were soon found out. After the divorce the accountant saw the biker at a store. He said, how do you like that used pussy? Whereupon the biker said its not to bad once I get past the used part.

Well it does have a Harley frame, Capt, at least it started out that way. :haha:

As Richard Pryor said, the reason people do drugs is because they make too much money. The same could be applied here.

I have been hoping somebody would explain "fake carb."

Evidently you don't know his story.

Fake carb? It's a fuel injected Chevy 350, and hanging off the front is the fuel pump, maybe oil pump,and a mounting plate for the starter.

I think the "fake carb" is on the Triumph in post 39. It's a fuel injected system, therefore fake carb.

The Triumph (and almost all bikes) are fuel injected, but some of them use a throttle body disguised as an old style carburetor. It's a neat retro touch.

Right digr, called the "carb-styled twin throttle bodies" by Triumph.

I forgot to add this bike has aftermarket 5 gal tanks and they didn't have those until '65.

7 seconds, 7 fucking seconds...

Cool rig.

What an idiot.
