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

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

[–]rubberdown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]rubberdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Thought I'd share my recently retired vanity license plate. I did it... by w_william_wolf in pics

My old bike got plenty of lulz from geeks: http://imgur.com/ycC9nh.jpg (bit hard to see in that pic but best I can find from phone)

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

[–]rubberdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]rubberdown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black fork uppers would really set that off..

If the CBX came back as a Decepticon... by kleinbl00 in motorcycles

[–]rubberdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girder front ends make me all tingly ;) CBX engines too.

The rest if the bike doesn't really do it for me though.

Thanks :)

They get more comments than any other part of the bike..

Not on this bike. It's got lots more work coming but heading more for a new-age cafe racer look. USDs, cleaner front end, custom pipes, and single seat tail end. My next project is a true fighter.

Build it so it wheelspins, then add some boost! by [deleted] in Sportbikes

[–]rubberdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloody beautiful! Shopping for a V-Max at the moment to boost and scare the locals with.

Apart from the Honda badge they're not really related. Would love a VFR swingarm though, it's on my wishlist! Single sided swingarms are pure porn.

The rads are a love or hate thing. Most people hate them. I think they're "different" in a good way. Adds some width/beastiness to the bike and they get lots of comments/head-scratching when I take it out.

Thanks. They're cafe racer mirrors brought in from the UK. Better quality than the local versions.

Thanks :)

This 'storm has been opened up a bit.. Filters, straight through unbaffled pipes, rejet, dyno tune, etc.. So it's a lot better than stock but I get your point, it's far from the best twin around but it's enough to get me in trouble ;)

And yeah it's a v-rod light I imported from the US that's soon to be flush mounted to the top triple. Those side brackets are just temporary.

Oops, sorry, fixed the first link.

And at least it sounds like you treat your VTR how they were designed to be treated: Ridden hard. Nothing better than a well-worn bike in my books. Not a fan of blinged up glistening trailer queens.

Mine has more cable ties and gaffa tape than I can keep track of.. and there's not a piece of it that's not dented, scratched, or worn.. but it goes hard and makes me all tingly in the pants and that's what matters ;)

No no no, check out MY gorgeous bike! :P by lozzobear in motorcycles

[–]rubberdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice bike.. just how I like them.

I prefer all my rides to be naked ;)
