    if one were going on an across the country road trip, a touring motorcycle would be the practical choice, since it's designed and built for that, not small enduro, unless you're planning on wheelieing the entire trip, then the moto would be more practical.

        well, i guess you'd have to have a support van to carry your gear too, if you're gonna use that moto for highway traveling.

            he isn't going anywhere on that; we both know that. Same with all these guys like Rochard, their bikes are for around town. They would never race me from LA to Vegas or Daytona.

                I think the dirt bike looking one is more of a dork thing than a Euro thing. When I think 'Euro', I think Moto Guzzi or Ducati not Yamaha.

                        I dont understand why people have to talk other brands Down. Its about riding and having fun. If you feel you have more fun on a HD than a Husaberg or Kawasaki - then buy a HD.

                            Well, I owned a 69 Trident when I was in my late teens. I bought it because it was a radical chopper that I could afford. That being said it has been a very long time since I rode one.

                            I guess my main complaint with any British motor vehicle is Lucas Electrics, but the Lord of Darkness may not even be a factor anymore.

                            Back in those days, the Norton 750 Commando would have been one of my favorite bikes. If I was to buy that style bike these days I would probably lean towards a Buell or Ducati.

                                    This thread is about why all bikers are 100% homos. Not which shitty bikes you all drive.

                                                Leave it to a fucking crockett scientist to suggest that leather doesn't help. I have PROOF they will protect you.



                                                I have only ridden a horse once and it became readily clear why cowboys wore chaps ... those animals are filthy and sweat all over you if you don't have protection.



                                                You may not be trying to be argumentative, but you sure are not stopping to think.

                                                Wear black - hides the dirt
                                                Covering face with bandanna - Have you ever hit a bee at 60 MPH? Every little bit helps
                                                Seedy bars - Fuck, they are a lot more fun than some club
                                                Beards - Help as a cushion/buffer against rocks, hail, bugs a lot more than a bandanna
                                                Baddog gets very angry when I call out dumb bikers who dress like they are going to a Halloween contest..
                                                In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                                    I dont even ride the standing bicycle at the gym. All bike things are for homos. Im not having a mid life crisis and dont find a need to belong to some fraternity of fat guys.

                                                            Yes they are all over CO.. every retard on a road bike dresses like Lance Armstrong and has a $3k bicycle...

                                                            Oddly enough the mountain bike guys don't seem to dress up in their favorite costume but they do have $3k bikes.

                                                            The guys with dirt bikes are even worse. I've never seen a place before that riding a dirt bike required having the full fledge moto cross outfit down to the matching boots and helmets of their fav team.. it's as bad as Nascar rednecks wearing Tide jackets..
