BadAdam Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 An interesting article from USA Today about kids doing dumb things in Los Angeles. My only connection is that the guy that bought my old Hayabusa (not the one pictured on the left but the second one) gets interviewed and claims more than 300hp to the rear wheel! http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-05-26-stunters_N.htm Link to comment
Tony_K Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I running outside right now to start hacking my bike up into the hottest telelever stunt bike in LA! That damn plastic tank is going to be hard to beat a dent into so I can spin my a$$ around on it though... Link to comment
BadAdam Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hey man, I stopped going to bike nights when I got a ticket on my home one night from Hollywood! Luckily they caught me when I was going slow and it was only for 105 in a 65 (on the bike in the picture over there on the left). One of the more amazing events on a motorcycle is being in a group of 100+ bikes taking over every lane on a freeway. Link to comment
PhillyFlash Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 One of the more amazing events on a motorcycle is being in a group of 100+ bikes taking over every lane on a freeway. Almost as good as taking over every thread on the main Other Topics page. Link to comment
JerryMather Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 " He displayed his Suzuki Hayabusa, a 1340cc superbike that he had hopped up with a turbocharger, giving it, he says, 380 horsepower. "I go to the drag strip with it," he says. "It can do 178 mph in the quarter mile." He's right about that. I know because, I personally put that turbo on his bike and saw it dynoed. Link to comment
leikam Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 They were rolling again last night and one of them was really screaming. I thought his engine was going to drop. Link to comment
BadAdam Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Leikam, where do said events transpire? I'm so out of the scene it's like I live in podunck. Link to comment
CoarsegoldKid Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I got a bad feeling when I saw the first TV ad for "Superbikes". Just what we need, knuckleheads on bikes on TV. Stunts belong on a closed course in my opinion, just like road racing and drag racing. The youthful riders doing the stunts will never change until they grow out of it. If they live through it they stand to become good road riders. I'd like to borrow about 30 HP from that Suzuki. Link to comment
