Cool Any 2-wheeled riders here on this site, check in here!

Seems a lot of my m3/s2000 buddies also ride bikes, anyone here?

From what I've seen not many Lexus owners are riders, just curious

On a side-note I was riding home the other day and this IS-F guy tried a friendly race with me - of course it's no match but fun to hear the motor of an IS-F from outside the car.

I used to ride for rockstar energy drink stunt riding. Placed 3rd in the team event with Jason Britton and my roommate at the time. (that was years ago at stuntwars). I raced a few years for backroads triumph and then coleman powersports. Now i just relax and enjoy the city on my supermoto.

Not a hardcore rider, but I leisurely do sometimes. I had 2004 ZRX1200 which I sold when I came to the US two years ago.

I have a 2006 CBR1000RR, and do mostly hard riding on backroad twisties. I also currently have my buddy's 1098S, which he said I could ride as much as I like while he is away for work.

^wow those are some cool aerial shots and dirt bikes!

I have NEVER rode dirt, is that different from road?

Been riding ever since college but just leisure/short commutes for me. Definitely not a track pro but the few times I have gone on the track it was amazing to say the least - most of the guys on the track were awesome too teaching me all the tricks...

Went from CBR's (f2/f3) to GSXR1000's and into Yamaha R1's and Hayabusa's. We sold my 08 Hayabusa with the birth of our daughter but I had the itch and just bought a new 09 R1

Nothing beats the feeling of a bike at WOT that's for sure!


Gymkata: How do you like the 1098 Ducati? I've always loved the sound of a Duc but never rode one before, how does it compare to Japanese liter bikes? Is it worth the higher price of entry?


my first R1 back in 2001:

I did not realize people on here were into supermoto's.

I want to pick up a Yamaha WR250x in the future. A bit underpowered but I heard they are fun bikes. Love the styling of them. Neighbor has DRZ SM and it did not ride as good as the WRX. Liked the power but that's about it.

I just put a big bore 440 kit and cammed the DRZ SM about 6 months ago. I need to go back to the stock gearing bc right now i can pick it up in every gear on command. Id rather not be able to pick it up in 5th.
