I don't think that is called for, everybody has different hobbies.

This shows why you will have to replace fork seals and steering head bearings after only 4K miles

 

I agree. Try to be more mindful of your contractions; it's "You're".

 

I could not agree more. I don't think we have the right to judge anyone. Let's create a review panel to check each proposed new SuperHawk owner to ensure that he/she will take care of the bike, not do anything crazy, never crash.... That sounds a little like Communism to me.

 

That last vid hurt to watch. You know that a v twin doesnt make the best stunt bike, if you keep it up on 1 wheel too long you will starve the front cylinder of oil. Be careful!

Oh well that's not my bike, I think that's funny tough

 

So dissenters can't dissent? Now THAT'S real communism! I think it was simply the brashness of lynchie's dissent (comment) you didn't agree with, correct? Yes, a little more tact/politeness towards our fellow man is preferred.

 

exactly

It wasn't the thought of the statement I took issue with, just the delivery.

 

I say to each their own. Everyone has different things that turn them on. Personally I'm just finishing fixing up a bike someone on here wrecked. I derive alot of pleasure from fixing stuff and making it nice again. But I appreciate the skill required to stunt well, I have a friend who is one of the best stunt riders in the world. So the wheelies are cool, you look like you're just trying to learn, I think that's fine. Yeah a bike's gonna get beat up in the process, there's no other way. If I wanted to learn I'd have to do the exact same thing. Honestly though the circle donuts with the bike on it's side make you look like a spoiled kid who never learned to appreciate stuff...that's not stunting, you just look like you're trying to destroy the bike. And I said LOOK like one, you're probably not, I don't know you personally. You probably just don't give a **** not everyone is as **** as I am about keeping their stuff nice. But otherwise good on you for trying to learn. Just be careful and make sure you wear some good gear, especially while ur learning. It doesn't take much doing what ur doing to **** yourself up pretty bad. Thanks for sharing.

 

The kids now days will do just about anything to get 2 seconds of fame on youtube, exposing themselves, fighting, or even wrecking perfectly good motorcycles. Kind of a shame that "celebrity" has become so important.

 

you know some people like to go fast in the mountains and most wreck hit a deer or something. some people like to go to the track and a lot of them wreck. most bikes go down if you ride them hard now if you have say an HD and just use it to look cool or get girls them problem don't go down as much. iv tried it both ways but going fast in the mountains is just way to unpredictable for my liking not saying what happened to me in that last video was predicted but i learned something from it (just cause i gave it more gas from the start doesn't help it stay running at 12) so i wont do that again well try not to.


my exhaust is the stock cans cut the ends off and fully debaffled them so there empty.

my faring is off cause one of the ears on the steering stem that hold the faring stay on broke off.

and the damage on that wreck was minor just broke off the reservoirs maybe 30$ to fix

the video of me doing a burnout wasn't bad on the bike as i have a full cage so to call me a spoiled boy is retarded as i was burning off the very edge of the tire and i bet you don't use that part ether you might but your testies are bigger than mine

 

Not an entirely fair statement. People have been doing this for decades. NOONE says anything bad about Evil Kneivel. Yet he did much the same, trashed his bikes and himself.

They're called "rat bikes" right, or something like that. Guys who would chop up multiple bikes to make one all their own.

Don't fall prey to what the media has labeled as the Youtube generation. They just have this form of media. I can guarantee, that my fathers generation did just as much stupid stuff as the current generation.

His money=His bike=His choice to do as he sees fit with it. I defend his rights everyday, just as I defend the rights of the 2 that called him a "******* idiot". Although, they are probably ******* idiots themselves, i'd make another guarantee that they've ridden their bikes too fast, or gotten as low and as fast as they could, even though they weren't at the track. Who the **** are you to call anyone else a "******* idiot"? Freedom of speech, DOES NOT mean you can say what you want, where you want and when you want.

Codfish, glad to see you're enjoying your bike. It might be painful for some of us to watch, but there are some that are enjoying seeing your progression. There will always be naysayers, haters and doubters. **** them. It's your bike.

Hey, whatever fires your rocket is cool by me.
Twisties, mountains, track, showing up at the local Starbucks in full leathers, splitting lanes in flip flops (actually saw that the other day).

That said, I get "stunting" about as much as I get NASCAR, monster trucks and arena football. But then again that's just me......

Best of luck, stay safe and off the public roads.

 

Wear some boots so you don't crush your ankles/feet---your bike will land on your leg one of these days pulling these stunts.

Keep it in the parking lot and it great, but if you are doing this stuff on the street, don't post any vids...you'll catch way more grief than it's worth.

(cool tank wheelie by the way)

 

Yeah the tank wheelie was awesome !!

 

No man don't get the wrong idea I wasn't saying ARE spoiled I just said to an outsider it makes you LOOK that way in that particular instance. No offense. Like I said congrats for having the ***** to learn. And yeah it's probably safer doing what you're doing in an isolated environment than the morons who go out late at night and roadrace in packs all night around the cloverleafs. They used to (still do?) do it every weekend around here and people got mangled all the time. And yeah the tankwheelie was awesome, looks like you're definitely making progress. I just wish I could have bought some of your bodywork before you killed it At least you respond to criticism like an adult, which is alot of the reason I like being here. I guess I was just brought up and still kinda subscrible to the idea of "if you can't take care of it you don't deserve to have it" but again that's just a personal thing and doesn't apply to everyone. Just hurts a little to watch nice stuff get hammered. I love watching stunt riders but always cringe when I look at whats happening to their bikes.
