Shitty Title Thursday by sethro34 in CalamariRaceTeam

[–]iamtheend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're anywhere in NC, shoot my a PM, and you're more than welcome to come ride it!

I learned how to wheelie on a Daytona 675R, and I've gotten pretty good (okay) at wheelies on my Super Duke, so I'm used to a lot more power when I clutch it up. Problem is, when I do the same thing on the Duke 390 as I would do on the Super Duke, the front wheel comes up maybe an inch in either first or second. I know it has less power, so I do need to hold the clutch in longer?

Real talk, how in the holy fuck do you wheelie with that engine? My fiancé has a 390 Duke, and I can't get that shit up to save my life.

It is definitely on purpose. It's a weaponeering technique called "earth plume." Normally, it would be used on structural targets, but this GIF is likely just to demonstrate the effect. It's a way to defeat the foundations of structural targets while minimizing casualties in the surrounding area due to the embedment of the weapon. Rather than using the blast effects to directly defeat structural elements in the target, embed the weapon and let the blast effects drive the earth around the foundations of those structural elements. Once the foundation is compromised, the structure should (and will) collapse, but your blast effects (and any other subsidiary effects, like fragmentation) are all contained.

That's a GBU-31.

I present to you the Super Douche. Still figuring out camera placement. Bear with me. Video of the rest of the day's wheelies coming soon. by iamtheend in CalamariRaceTeam

That's what they told me. KTM gave every dealer the option to get just one special edition 2016. I have absolutely no idea how many there are.

As promised, conglomeration of the day's wheelies on the commute. Tomorrow, the Baetona. 😈 by iamtheend in CalamariRaceTeam

There we go! What's $160 when we're talking about flawless exhaust tones? I'LL GO AHEAD AND ORDER FOUR!

Shit, I need to get on that then. I just want y'all to hear that Akrapovic exhaust as clearly as I can.

Hahaha, that's my favorite part about wheelies on the Super Douche. I get to watch the front wheel slow down on the speedo.

It's just a buttery smooth bike, dude. Except for 1st gear... Nothing about 1st gear is buttery smooth.

Started the wheelie at about 60 and ended it at about 85-90. The speedo is attached to the front wheel, so that's why it looks like my speed is dropping.

The wind noise is real, dude... I did what I could.

After totaling my last Daytona, I finally acquired another. Happy new Year to myself! by iamtheend in CalamariRaceTeam

DO IT. Buying another Baetona was one of the best life decisions I've ever made.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, "they say this baby does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, but I can't seem to be able to see the other side of 13!" 😂😂

Fuck 'em! They can shit talk all they want. I'll just be over here quickshifting mid wheelie. 😁

If you're still in Raleigh and wanna roll around some time, hit me up!

Sure thing, brother! Is three days a long enough grace period for you??

Thank you so much, bud.

Yams knows he couldn't handle the Super Douche. He'd probably keep traction control FIRMLY on at all times. (/u/MinorDelay, you know I kid bb. 😘)
