Supermoto thread

I seriously thought of doing this to my XR400 but didn't want to keep switching back from street to dirt. How much of a pain is it to switch out?

Glorious...

Finally knocked out the oil change on the LC4 engine. What a bitch that was, lol. Took me almost 3 hours :( It was a nice night yesterday so I went out to take some pics.

Nice, what brakes were you running before?

I was just running the KTM stock Brembo break. I think I might sell the brake kit, I don't feel I need it that much for just cruising around the streets. I don't race.

Welp, I just picked up some wheels and a Beringer brake caliper and disk.

That's why. I almost bought one when I bought my 600RR. Problem was then I was still too into clutching up into staggered stand up's.



Now I'm pushing 30, have a daughter whom I plan on living to see married at least. I've had my fun pushing the limits, and now I don't want to leave my family because I make a stupid mistake.



Going more for style and comfort on my next bike.

Justified. Carry on.

I want a supermoto bad.

My wife told me she wanted a baby before I got another motorcycle.... (I hit a deer at 75mph on my 06 zx636, and highsided my 09 CBR600RR, walked away from the first, broke my elbow on the other)

I think it's getting near that time though. Riding is something that is in your blood. You can delay it, but sooner or later you get back on.

I dunno though, when I get another bike it just might be a Honda shadow Phantom edition.

When the time changes, I notice that drivers get more insane and I always put my bike away for a month or so. Then when people have seemed to settle down I will bring it back out.

I commute and live with the reality that I could get killed every day I am out there. Been off bikes 4 different times and all of them, thankfully, have been unassisted (meaning, my own fault and didn't get hit). But it is scary business just riding out alone without any other cars around. We certainly are not immortal.

I am contemplating getting a motard and selling my V-Strom 1000. Seems it would be an even trade on the grin factor. But I would gain way more on fuel economy. But I am a big SOB and I spent a decent amount of effort getting the V-Strom exactly the way I want it. It'd be a shame to get rid of it.

AhhhH!

I need more pics! I hate not having a bike. I built/sold a gixxer stunt bike but i'm now looking at building a motard out of a wr450f steel frame. Any one riding one?
