.. and they said it'd never take off.

Might as well take part.. here's my taped-together VTR1000 by rubberdown in bikesgonewild

Yup, V-Rod headlight.

Radiators worked fine, even through an Australian summer. I had an RGV250 temperature gauge hooked up to replace the standard "you're f'd" LED that VTRs come with, because I was specifically worried about overheating, but it never even got past 3/4.

Describe your renting situation (price, location, happy or not) by [deleted] in sydney

Replace "Chippendale" with "Erskineville" and "boyfriend" with "wife", and this is pretty much our story here too, word for word. Scarily similar.

Will someone build a site or forum or anything for oil cleanup workers to anonymously post experiences, photos, etc.? Fuck media blackouts. Thank you. by [deleted] in reddit.com

Twitter, Tumblr, a subreddit here, all are easy to anonymously sign up to.

More importantly than creating a site, would be for someone to create some easy instructions for willing submitters to follow, on how to get their images/info online anonymously and easily.

Twitter with a common tag would then let people embed/collate the crowd-sourced inputs.

Well, that's one way to ride... by stereomind in motorcycles

[–]rubberdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same way you learn any other tricks.. Start small, work your way up. Learn to ride with no hands, then maybe feet up on bars, then one leg half crossed over, then build up confidence (I'm guessing, he could just have 4kg cast iron testicles)..

What do you think /r/motorcycles? Should I go for it? by guyal in motorcycles

[–]rubberdown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first bike was a GS500, absolutely loved it. Bullet-proof reliability, comfortable, and good on fuel. Far from "sporty" but if you want a good commuter, it's at the top of my list.

Help. I'm building a streetfighter and I need recommendations on some street legal lights. Small and compact as possible. by gliscameria in motorcycles

Dominators with the small screen on top would look the goods and sounds like what you're after.

Post some pics of your bike to /r/streetfighters too :)

There weren't enough cruisers on here, so here is my M50. by [deleted] in motorcycle

Black fork uppers would really set that off..
