" Plunging into dark forest"
That's gorgeous!
I ride a '78 Yamaha XS750. Bought it in pieces and now it's a joy to drive. I love the kickstart and use that almost exclusively!

" Escape from the walls of Death"
I put a few laps around the neighborhood on this the other day.
That was my first ever Honda a QA50? when I was about 8 yrs old
my bike addiction has grown in size tho
and my other drug habit is in the dirt

lol,
first... "mini trails" are swell
2nd.... fast, can't see the pics..let me guess, Duclings of some sort?
3rd...Scammy, nice shots from above (bike/car)...and the action pic.
Riding in the dirt is where many critical bike handling skills are developed.
Here's a car/ bike I posted on my bike forum and many wanted to know about the car lol.
1982 RM250z "The fast one" lol. In 1982 !! fk I'm old.

mate I had a 1980 CR125 last of the twin shock CR's so you're not old alone here
10-4 I feel better :biggrin:
Alum, assume that is the same bike as post 185 ?
nice pic.
Same kind of bike but they are different. The black GSXR is track only. No worries about crashing that way.

i have a few V-twins in the garage with the NSX. :smile: also a KTM 450 SX-F...
Swell collection fast and NA2, assume you reside in two Countries. which do you keep the fleet ?
I'd go mad with that many bikes lol ...deciding what to ride, keeping um loose and happy with usage, registrations,insurance ,etc.
One of each is all I can focus on and possibly make time to use.
The NSX is a G queen but I do start it , warm it up fully and then drive it a few choice miles twice a week. I got a straight and a few sections of curves I can get on it pretty good..beyond that, driving around here now (Los Angeles westside) is complete misery unless posing and I'm to old for that lol. Too many bodies.
There are good area's to drive and ride though, the bike allows me much quicker access.
Royal Enfield from Jessica? first post as well.... I must say for what it is, it's very well executed. getting one to ride Dubai ?

my main residence is in L.A. at the moment, which is where that picture was taken. they all have very different personalities. rego-ing and servicing can be a bitch, but they're worth every respective penny.
i try to ride them all, and do, with the exception of the 1198s. that bike should really only be ridden on a race track, it is just too mad to be ridden on the street!:

Nice video. Have you had a chance to ride a 1299s?? If the 1198 is crazy I can't imagine the 1299. Never had a Ducati. I was checking out an 1990 851 Superbike a couple of days ago. I always liked them. Maybe as a retirement gift.

an 851 is a true classic, the first 4-valve head Superbike for the Italian manufacturer, and the beginning of the modern era of Superbike domination for Ducati that led through the 90's and into the 2000's with the 888, 916, 996, 998, 999 and 1098 and 1198. all world championship winning machines. grab that bike, there's not a lot of them around. you'll thank me later.
i have ridden the 899, 1199 and 1299. the first two are pretty crap. twitchy, torque less machines. the 1299 is brutally fast up top and the S and R models handle better, but again, lacks the massive thundering mid-range grunt of the 1098/1198 models. there's no comparison. the Panigale's spin more revs to make power, and sacrifice all of the low and mid range to do so. and with all of the modern electronics, it's a much tamer bike. the 1098/1198's are absolute beasts, power everywhere at any rpm. which is what Ducati's were famous for. the Panigale's need to be ridden like a 4-cylinder, using high revs to make power. just very different bikes. no doubt, faster around the track in expert hands, but not nearly as much fun, and especially not on the street. the 1098/1198's are so much prettier, and sound better too. they have dry clutches, steel trellis frames, pipes under the seat. classic Ducati...
