Give him a break. At least they're attempting to keep it in a closed lot. Don't expect me to show up at anything like this either, but as long as they keep it off the streets I'm all for it.

EXACTLY.....I'm not much of a "stunter" at all, I prefer the track anyday....

But to get it off the streets, promote the sport and give people a good show its what we are after. The cops love us now, because no one rides the street anymore, they stop by all the time to watch. They will have a booth set up at the show as well to hand out info and BS with the public...

I have seen too many times driving around this town guys on one wheel, zooming in and out of traffic. One day I actually saw some guy standing on the gas tank doing a Christ right down the busiest street in Ames. Keeping it in a parking lot, or a county road is one thing, but they Don't. Then the law abiding riders get harrassed by the police.

Pretty eager to cast stones, aren't we.

I agree any unsafe riding on the street is bad for motorcycling, including racing, which most members of this board seem to be a fan of as long as it is on the track. But if events like this promote motorcycling and influence stunnas to be more selective of "private" venues what's the problem? No one is asking you to champion the cause, just pass the word or at least be tolerant of fellow motorcyclist enjoying their own style of riding in a safe environment. Face it, stunting is not going away. As good ambassadors of motorcycling we should applaud the efforts to organize stunt riding and keep it off the streets. If this event is organized and promoted correctly it should contribute to safe riding and spread the message that stunting belongs off the street. I think it’s a shame that tolerance and education aren’t more prevalent here.

Wow, the pond seems particularly overstocked in this thread. Only goes to show wht the right bait will do for a day on the pond. No keepers though, I guess I'll just throw em back.

ruffryder · 08-17-2005, 5:22 PM

I'm sure most of you don't care......but here are pics from last night.

and PLEASE...no flames about not wearing gear. These pics are not of me....all I can really do is a few stoppies and I have Helmet, back protector, Coat, Gloves, and Boots on.....

Notice we are in an empty parking lot with the entrances blocked off so no traffic can drive through.....

As an enlightened rider, maybe you could explain the stupidity of NOT wearing gear to your buddies.

Cool pics. Recommendation - if the camera has a manual exposure function, set a higher shutter speed (higher than 1/250 if possible) to eliminate that blur.

Had to look back, I thought is said "No Breed", I thought we were just speeding up evolution.

<After seeing pics with no gear>....nevermind.

I'm sorry, what'd you say? I couldn't understand your mumbling with your foot inserted so far into your mouth...

Don't bother me, I'm busy eating humble pie.

phobiaphobe · 08-22-2005, 4:35 PM

That must take a lot of talent and practice to wheelie with those 80 tooth sprockets.

Didn't look like much of a "bash"... I saw 3 squids showing off in a parking lot. At least they had cool graffiti-like lettering on their bikes. I wonder if they are "ryders" as opposed to "riders"?

SJ96F3 · 08-22-2005, 4:44 PM

I thought it was a pretty poor "Bash" too but I went back and looked at the original flyer and the bash is Aug. 27th.

Northern RR · 08-22-2005, 5:14 PM

I never noticed the sprocket thing...thats funny

those things are huge. I did not even think that they made them that big for the road, maybe a dirt bike chain/sprocket conversion?

That and about 5 pounds of air in the tires .

Hey, at least they are keeping it off the streets. Now as for not wearing gear, well that's their ass if they wreck. Once one of them gets rashed up bad enough they might learn. But of course all the slow ass parking lot circles has gotten really boring to me as of late. rather see high speed wheelie combos on the strip.
