Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
EASY RIDIN' aka. strap this engine between your legs and hang on for dear life.

Thats bad ass
R.I.P.
trying to find a picture of some of the scooters
The Ninja's seat height is 30.5" though, and that would mean I'd be on my toes. I don't think I'd be able to avoid tipping while backing up.
or
my dream bikez
they're huge in japan and there is a lot of custom scooters done
everyone's an akira
There's always cruisers like the Honda Rebel - 250cc, seat height about 26 inches.
Or for a sportier bike, the VTR 250 (Sorry I don't know if it's available in America). Seat height about 29 inches.
The thing with the seat height is, when you swing your leg over and sit on the bike, it sinks an inch or two.
Also the dealership can set up the bike to suit you when you buy it - adjust the ride height and handlebars, make it 'fit' you.
"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
This is something you take into consideration when you park it. I'm 5'8", and I could just barely flat-foot my 6R. You just lean on one leg and scoot back that way, or park in such a place that you can go straight out the other side, or park it backwards. Banked parking spots are the best. Roll past it, and use the decline to roll it backwards into the spot. When you leave, you fire it up and away you go.
EDIT: If you're strong enough, you can pivot the bike on the side-stand.

The next bike I want to get is a Suzuki SV650, but that might not be for a few years.

I've decided I'm going to only use metrics from now on. 240 sounds way more impressive than 150.

Keep that shit up and you will be dead before you know it. You may be a better rider than Valentino Rossi, but 99% of the cars on the road don't even know you're there when you're right in front of them.

It was with a racing instructor and I'll be taking some more lessons from him this summer. Guy rides a completely modified 05' Hayabusa.
The tiny little "meep meep" of the horn doesn't help much
Yes, I'm aware. This was on open highway, with no cars in sight, with the sun up. I've done it a total of twice, and both time in the same conditions. Had I died, it would have been completely my fault, and no one else would have gotten hurt. You know, I've had a fuckload more close calls because people didn't see me at 30-50 MPH than I ever had on the freeway.
EDIT: Including the accident where some lady made a left turn right across my path. (See pg. 1)

I have some pictures of it but they are all pretty terrible. Also, none are recent. I just got around to doing fender eliminator and I put on a slip-on exhaust from M4.
As for being a short rider, I'm only 5'6" with a really short inseam. I'll never flat foot any bike I ride in the future. The only time it ever causes me any problems is when parking. You just have to plan out where you park carefully. Once you are moving, one foot on the ground is all you need. I've tried that pivoting thing and while I can do it, it makes me extremely uncomfortable, and it can't be good at all for your side stand.
i just got home from a ride from seattle to vancouver. I'm still chilled asl all fuck. fucking rain and cold in fucking june.
Anyway, i topped 160kph for the first time and yeah... wow. It was something.
Course, the visor in my helmet cracked off the day before, so my safety glasses were rattling around crazy like, so I didn't get up to 170, but i'm pretty happy with how easy i hit 160.
My babe. 1997 Suzuki Marauder, 800. Plus me with my retarded aviators and indianna jones jacket.
TEN FUCKING DOLLARS
i love it
You?
my entire neighbour hood is asians.
like, freaking everywhere
I live in goddamn in Stabville, Canada.
Also known as Edmonton.
vancouver's pretty sweet. you should think about living somewhere that isn't edmonton.
though, it may be a decently modded car. at least the rim choice is pretty good. got any pics of it?
Old, busted seat that's had black duct tape thrown all over it to hide the torn seat, but dammit I love that thing.

are you asking me if i have pics of my neighbours car?
My grandmother at the ripe old age of 65 had a Honda Rebel that she was willing to give to me (but I would have to transport it 800 miles to Florida).
I think she still has it, and I still think she uses it. She's almost 70 now.
I'm not sure if Honda Rebels are good, but I imagine anything with two wheels and an engine is adequate to learn on.
