I road a 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak for a while just after getting my license, asshole taxi pulled out on me + it slid.
Sold it shortly after, insurance is a lot for me.

You guys are probably going to die soon on your motorbikes. It was nice knownig you. Sorry but it's true. I would jizz in my pants at the thought of having a motorcycle, but it's not worth it. My dad used to drive a Harley in his youth. An old person pulled out in front of him, not once but twice, and forced him to lay it down each time. He is lucky to be alive. Old people can't see for shit.

This is what I use for vehicular homicide. Later this week I'll show you what I use to pull trim.

By the lack of front license plate - we have more evidence that you are from Indiana!

States that only require the rear plate:

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia.

Mr. Blonde · 03-16-2010, 12:35 AM

That was a terrible argument.

Der Fuhrer · 03-16-2010, 01:27 AM

I agree. Ich bin Der Fuhrer. I am from Berlin. I can do what I want when I want. Sometimes I even defecate out the driver side window while in motion or at a stoplight.

Utah requires a front plate but I don't have one. In fact I have a funny story; well not so much funny as pointless. I was on my way to pick up my drunk Mexican friend because he was beating his wife and I wanted to pick him up before he got him self in to any more trouble. On my way down I got pulled over for not having a front license plate because the police in Ogden are "a bunch of jerkasses" as one SLC police officer put it. Anyway I got a fix it ticket and had to put the license plate on then go to the police station so they could look at it and make sure it was on. The officer who looked at it cleared it but said it was only going to brake off and I should get an after market holder. I told her "No, I'm not going to worry about it because I'm just going to take it off when I get home." And I did.

Nevada requires a front license plate, but only if your car has the front plate capability. If you don't have the ability, you aren't required.

That's actually a kinda cool non-requirement.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 03-16-2010, 07:06 AM

Yea, that must be pretty rad.

It makes the whole point of having the front plate law kinda dumb in the first place imo.

In the name of reviving old threads that no one really cares about:

Obviously this is not the best forum to ask such a question, but if anyone has any recommendations for reinforced riding jeans, feel free to throw that out there.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 06-21-2010, 11:09 PM

These are pretty decent.

Mr. Blonde · 06-22-2010, 10:10 PM

What kind of bike is that PN? Can't really tell from the graininess. CCs? Used or new? Specs man, give us some specs!

1996 Yamaha FZR600R

From what I can tell, it's a 599c (600 class) bike, and it is definitely used. From a mechanical standpoint, it's doing pretty damn well for a 14 year sport bike. Aesthetically, it's pretty obvious that the first owner dropped the bike on the right side at least once (ie, the windscreen is missing a small chunk on the side, and there is a crack on the lower right fairing). The great part about such damage is that when I drop it myself, I won't feel like a complete asshole.

The FZR was one of the earliest sport bike designs along with the various Kawasaki Ninjas and the Honda CBR F1/F2 models. Around the late 90's Yamaha's other offerings began to make the FZR a bit obsolete, and the spiritual successors would be the YZF-600R and the YZF-R6. When I first started looking for a bike, I had my heart set on the R6. Unfortunately, decent used models were a bit beyond my ideal price-point-- as well as my riding ability. The R6 is a pretty damn fast bike for a beginner. SO, when one of my college friends decided to get rid of his FZR I figured it might be a good place to start. Several weeks later it was in my driveway.

I really haven't ridden it much considering I still need to purchase a helmet, jacket, and gloves (probably riding pants/jeans, too). I've always hated douchebags (apparently called "squids" in the motorcycle world) who weave in an out of traffic wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and flip-flops. Personally, I like my skin/face/hands/feet, and I'd prefer for them to stay as intact as possible. That being said, my initial impressions are that it's quick -- and obnoxiously loud (aftermarket D&D exhaust). I believe it's around 91 hp in a package somewhere around 400-420lbs. For a beginner, that's enough to take you by surprise if you grab too much throttle.

Mr. Blonde · 07-16-2010, 01:40 AM

Not officially "my ride" yet, but i'm waiting on an email back for this puppy:

Not the greatest picture, but here are some better ones:

Kinda like a dirtbike/motorcycle hybrid, which is good because I want to do a lot more camping/exploring Korea. I like it. Only 125 CC's, so comparable to pretty much most scooters. Motorbike engines don't really get that much bigger as a standard anywhere in Asia. I'm here for another year, I miss having a bike, and don't enjoy being bound completely by public transpo. It's also at a very cheap going rate, around $1000 USD. If it's still available and in good condition (he says it is, other than needing a new battery), i'll have it monday or tuesday.

StabMaster Arson · 07-17-2010, 10:46 PM

just got this

Orgazmo · 07-18-2010, 12:38 PM

How are you liking it after some more time behind the wheel?

StabMaster Arson · 07-18-2010, 10:26 PM

It's fun... could use more hp but it handles well enough to almost make up for that.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 07-18-2010, 11:44 PM

haha... your car doesn't have enough hp!

pussy!

Mr. Blonde · 07-27-2010, 11:20 AM

Stressful as hell to learn how to get back home about 15 kilometers away through city rush-hour traffic in seoul, but I did it. I like it a lot, i'm not sure how often i'll take it into the city (vs. subway or bus), but probably more than I'll admit now...i'm just a bit frazzled by the days events. Now that I'm in the city it's going to be real fucking hard not to spend every weekend spending money in bars trying to nail hot Koreans, so i'm going to try to reserve one or two weekends a month where I go up into the mountains (northern seoul is full of them) with a tent and supplies and go camping/hiking, good places are really hard to get to on public transpo alone.

Only cost me about $1100, and barring any laydowns (knock knock) I should be able to sell her for the same price when I leave.

SittinOnDubsWGW · 10-08-2010, 12:02 AM

Since i trashed my 240, I bought this last night...

Mr. Blonde · 10-08-2010, 01:05 AM

Damn dude. That is a sweet car.
