  1. He seems like such a good guy, always with a smile and a jovial attitude, well except when he doesnt win, too bad he had all those bike issues, I love to watch him get sideways.

    Edit: Winner of this years Daytona 200 way to go Jake!!

  2. I have a picture somewhere of him crashing in the corkscrew at Laguna, about 20 feet in front of me on the superstock race 2 years ago. He gets up limping and waves to the crowd?? Then he raced in the superbike race an hour later?? Seriously dedicated racer!

  3. I cant count how many times I have been told at various biker hangouts to "Get a real bike" - I just reply "cruisers arent my thing man". Its usually just a friendly jibe so no harm done but I think this is just a comment on what we have all heard at one time or another. He did not say which one was the real bike either?

  4. I can say without a doubt I hate the way that bike looks, considering it was once the classic 93 pearl white VFR its been snubbed into that thing?? The Dew can lends it some trashyness even more!

  5. Yea Downy bought it off him! he is the guy who owns that shop in LA young asian guy who offered us some discounts last year. MC-CYCLE.com I dont think he ever got his website going. its been bored out to 880 or somthing like that almost a 900cc, lots of mods! Downy has improved it too

  6. I thought the Migs stuck out too far in other pictures but they look great in that photo - Long way to send for a set of carbon cans though all the way from France - Me I would have used a domestic brand, I like HMF pipes these days. Too bad they dont make a VFR kit, but the cans are packed with ceramic fiber instead of glass so they dont blow out and cystalize like fiberglass does.

    I have been looking to replace my D&D its all blown out again, and well the city is cracking down on loud exhaust so I gotta get a quiter one soon.

  7. OK his mode of dress is not good enough for your standards but I see him in a JR jacket, draggin jeans over the ankle shoes, armored gloves and full faced helmet. Thats not a squid uniform!

    But I dont recommend that he buy the cheapest gear on the market? I have seen just how good JR gear is when it comes to meeting the pavement on a motorcycle - where it counts - (GOD forbid it should happen to anyone). For my money JR gear just dont cut it! The way he is dressed he's protected much better than the average motorcyclist on the road on any given day. He would be able to participate in any MSF course in the country dressed like that.

    I am just debating here, his dress isnt good enough for your standards, and well JR isnt good enough for mine IMHO

  8. ?Unfortunately, the safety mavens have gone overboard in their efforts to make this a risk-free sport, and have replaced the joy of riding with the fear of crashing. I am very much in favor of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and proper instruction for riders, but overemphasis on safety has created an atmosphere of death and destruction in the minds of the nonmotorcycling public, and this certainly inhibits newcomers. I feel motorcycling is a cheerful thing to do, but it becomes less cheery when industry people and advertisers are telling us to buy all sorts of road gear and wear it all the time, even just going down the road on a summers evening to smell the wild roses.?

    Just to the store and back? what was it I read last year 49% of all accidents are within 5 miles of your house.
