Right, I have couple of old Kawis with 3 pipes for him

I think I could sell Goose's Husaberg to the kid for that price. The colour might break the sale, though...

For so0me unexplainable reason, I'm inclined to believe that this kid's ad is legitimate. That said, I won't be selling my bike for $137. By the way Jonny, that picture in your avatar is the dog's bollocks!

Oh, I'm with you and will happily sell him Goose's Husa for 137 United States Dollars. I think it's a fair price for myself and the child. Not sure what Goose would think about it...

The avatar? Well, let's just say the work commute has it's exciting moments.

Is that you? Really? I figured that was some vintage race photo. I want to go riding with you. Of course, you're probably fucking with me, and it's not you.

Yes I am fucking with you (not really intended) and it is not me. But we can all dream, right? (my dream is to be as fucking fearless around the Isle of Man on such a beautiful machine)

Sorry, but I won't take less than $143.78 for my bike. Keep saving, kid.

Give you $500 for the Husaberg. I'll break my piggy bank for it.

SOLD!




...ummmm, Goose.....

If he doesn't respond, it's probably because he's changing the oil again.

if that it Johny ^^^

This is me right before I eat dirt









My new desktop:

The one where he's got his wheels off the ground mid-corner I've actually done several times before.
It's cool because it doesn't feel like a slide, and doesn't affect the overall attitude of the bike, the whole thing just up and jumps over a couple of feet and you keep right on truckin'. You just have to remember to stay calm and fluid, and not overreact to it (or really react to it at all, actually; just stay light on the bars). It's pretty fun, but probably not very safe, all things considered.
EDIT: That all being said, I've done it at maybe 70 mph, tops. Homeboy there has probably got that beat by about a ton. I've got nothing to say about anything that happens above 150 (indicated), and that in a straight line.

I have jumped few rises and corners recently on the SuMo, feel pretty confident doing it, not so much on the Daytuna, probably has to do more with stiffer suspension.

No, but it is convincing.

on the Dirty Weekend ride I caught this image, showing that matpoc can somehow park a wheelie!

I love having a torquey bike! I don't think I could get both wheels off the ground in a way that would do anything useful, but if I whack the throttle proper in short blips I can get both wheels up pretty easily. the bad thing about that is if I do it too much I'll grind off important things The last time I changed the oil on my 850 Roadster the oil drain plug was ground almost to the pan (good thing it was an allen).
