Because they can't keep their sh!t out of the fracking car picture thread.
Brandon, you're bike is so slow, my momma can run backwards sleeping faster than your bike.
Sven... I saw Billy Gibbons 3 weeks ago in Belleville during Musicfest when ZZ Top Headlined. He says Hi.
Reza.... You rock.

Post your lawnmower pic page! More reliable than a DSM You mean yours and Sven's DSM ? In most cases its never the car, its always the nut behind the wheel Both my DSM's are definately more reliable than a lawn mower. I could hop in any of them and drive across the country right now. Bet you couldn't do that on your lawn mower My "lawn mower" has gone down to california, Dirty jerzy and B-more? And I don't drive a talon at this point in time. I like my Fairladys.

I really don't want to cause any discord, but I would saddle up on that waffle bunny before I'd ride a pink motorcycle. And at the panda bread, I've never seen that one before.

In lieu of this terrible weather, I have one thing to say.. Obviously our friend does deliveries for Mary Kay and Avon. Fastest delivery anywhere! You caught me.. oh no....Pathetic attempt, Feel free to try again rob. And who stated I'm your friend? or any one's friend in this thread for a matter of a fact? Before you speak get your facts straight about particular statements before you state them. Now, All please continue to show me how much you hate the bike, I find it rather amusing!

Quick question Sven.
You own a Bike and a 300ZX.... Tell me again why you're back on this board?
That is, other than to stir up some bovine fecal matter and all that ruccus.

Sven, you should put some Youtube videos up teaching how to do it properly. You seem like a pro, so show us how to crash!

Ive seen much worst come from idle wheelies. MMM thats funny then you must not know people that know how to crash... because it's very easy to just step off... or a golden rule.. when in doubt.. throttle out Yeah I saw a video of a guy who throttled it out into a crowd. Not saying it happens but even pros drop bikes and bones break no matter how good you are. I will say this though, I don't have the balls to stunt on a motocycle.

I'm accualy selling my bike this week and getting a sled and a bike out of the states...thats how big of a price difference it is between canada and states... I can buy a 2008 fully stunt 636 for around 2200-2800$ us.. or I can buy a 2001 F4I fully stunt for around 6800$ CND.

What research? And last I checked, this is Club DSM Canada, not "Club Bikes Canada". I'm sure they've heard of you, but thats all you are Sven, somebody people have "heard" about. You name drop more than you ever prove on a track. You need to get off the keyboard, and go prove yourself. You want to do wheelies and stunt, then go do it, we don't really care to hear about it. I know Kevin K, Reza, Tim G, Ghislain G, Todd M, personally, but does that make me a better racer/tuner/driver? Hellz no! These guys actually prove themselves on the track, and EARN the respect they deserve. What respect have you earned? I personally think, even though I have never met you, just speaking on what you've shown yourself to be, you're more talk than walk. You get on here with your sadistic comments, and your caps lock to make yourself seem big, when really, you're just some wannabe from Saskatchewan with your self-proclaimed expertise, and trust me, the name drops of people most here have never heard of really don't do much for you or your cause.

Is anyone else in favor of removing this guy?
I am an avid rider of my 2004 ZX10R and love bikes as much as i do cars but i'm a little embarrased to share the same interests as this guy.
I'm gonna have to agree with the car guys on this one, Pink Bike = FAIL

Well... apparently he was told by authorities to have himself removed.... http://ca.dsm.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=291731#Post291731http://ca.dsm.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=291870#Post291870http://ca.dsm.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=291874#Post291874http://ca.dsm.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=291885#Post291885You be the judge. And I'm not aruguing with you at all about stunting, I'm sure you can pull a wheelie just like everyone else. I'm sure you can do lots of crazy things on your bike. Do I care? Nope. But coming on here and acting like you are the be-all and end-all of stunting because you "know" these people and you can pop a wheelie is rather arrogant, don't you think? As your arguing with me about stunting.. when i doubt you have ever ridden a bike let alone if you were to drop one, you'd probly blow your asshole out trying to lift 350 pounds.
Maturity FAIL. So, back on to bikes. I'm looking forward to seeing Brandon's R6 up here on Friday. It looks to be quite the bike! What do most of you guys start out with? I've always wanted to get my M license, my Dad has his, be nice to go riding with him. I've also always wanted a CBR600, they are a NICE bike IMO.

It depends, i've rode and raced dirtbikes since i was a kid so getting on a bike wasn't intimidating for me when i got my M1.
I started with an older Kawi ZX 600R and it was a great. I wouldnt reccomend starting with anything less than a 500cc though, you'll have trouble keeping up with bigger bikes and you'll get tired of it pretty quick.
I've since upgraded to an 04 ZX 1000R and love it, although any sport 600 has enough zip and top speed for most riders.
Insurance will likely be the limiting factor, theres a big difference between 500's and 600's.

What do most of you guys start out with? I've always wanted to get my M license, my Dad has his, be nice to go riding with him. I've also always wanted a CBR600, they are a NICE bike IMO. Most people start with one of the 600 "super sport" bikes (R6, GSX-R 600, Ninja ZX-6 or CBR 600). This is actually *way* more bike than most people need, and certainly more than a beginner needs. But alas there are so many of them out there that the prices aren't too bad and the allure is too strong to keep the noobs away. Insurance isn't great though... There are some beginner friendly bikes that are lower displacement and a little less powerful. More importantly they are also lighter, and so they're easier to keep upright. Something with a slightly more upright seating position (dirt bike, touring bike) will also be easier to learn on.

There are some beginner friendly bikes that are lower displacement and a little less powerful. More importantly they are also lighter, and so they're easier to keep upright. Something with a slightly more upright seating position (dirt bike, touring bike) will also be easier to learn on. See and that's what I've always been told, start small. To be honest, I'd like a crotch rocket, no cruiser or anything, but a nice sport bike, something to cruise around on to-from work on nice days. Nothing to do crazy tricks on or anything, I'm no super-stunt athlete like Sven here. Do you ride Jeff? Any recommendations?

Do you ride Jeff? Any recommendations? Yes I do, I've been riding for about 10 years now. I have a Suzuki Katana (GSX-F) 600 cc. It's an older-technology (carbs, aircooled) sport/touring bike. Despite being the same engine size, it is no where near as fast as the super sport bikes! I did that on purpose since I didn't think I had any self control. As for recommendations, the ideal is to follow Rob's model. Buy something that's older / slower / cheaper to learn on. That way you're less likely to get yourself into trouble, and if you do it's less expensive to repair or replace. If you stick to < 600 ccs insurance will even be tolerable. I would definitely buy your first bike used, since you will most likely lay it down at some point. Sucks to do that to a new bike! But if you want something a little newer, there are lots more options than there were 10 years ago when I was buying. Suzuki GS500 or GS500F, Kawasaki Ninja 500R, etc. If I was doing it all over again I'd probably get a dual sport with some offroad ability, like a Suzuki KLR 650. I also really like the SV650. But of course both of those completely negate everything I said earlier. In the end you can honestly have fun riding any motorcycle! Just take a new rider course and take it easy for a while...

Maturity level has a LOT to do with it. IMHO, they shouldn't sell crotch rockets. They DEFINITELY shouldn't sell them to kids (like Sven). It is so sad to see a young life snuffed out for a moments stupidity, before they get a chance to outgrow that stupidity.
I always think it is ridiclous that they give you a weekend test on a 150cc dirt bike, then let you buy a 1000cc superbike and go kill yourself. That is the equivalent of giving someone a driving test in an old VW beetle, then letting him buy a formula 1 car and drive it on the streets. What happened to "graduated licensing". They should do something like that for bikes...like for the first year no bigger than a 350cc or something.
I started my son out on a 350, and the rule there was that for one year he was not allowed to ride without me being along. By then, the novelty and the urge to show off for friends has worn off. He was never stupid enough to get into stunting or anything like that anyways. Today he is a sensible, mature rider. I have owned from 50cc all the way up to 1300's.....and am quite happy with my 650cc scooter. Actually thinking of trading it on one of those electric bikes. Anyone know how fast they go if you remove the governor?

Everyone has there ideas on what people should do? It's what your comfertable with and what you are looking for.. I wanted to buy a bike with low kms.. in decent condition and stunt able.. And thats what I got... And what makes you I'm any kind of kid on a bike.. you don't know if I have control or not? Sure, I'm not a knee dragger and I don't rip around the streets at 90mph to impress some dudes skank girlfriend.. I'm more of a lot rat.. I perfer to do slow tricks then something at 100km/h. . But everyone is titled to there opinion.

I'm with Ziggy on this one, I haven't even started riding yet but I'm starting out on a 250cc and working my way up. You guys have no idea how many stupid kids I need to explain this stuff to. I know too many guys my age, I'm 18, who want to jump on a 600cc bike for their first bike and no matter how much I try to tell the idiots that it's a bad idea no one wants to listen so at this point I've given up, if they want to kill themselves then they can have fun. I'm starting small and working my way up like I should be. First bike I rode was a gsxr 1000 running 8 psi on a t25 turbo set up.. it's not about CC it's about your respect and self control.. if your gonna try and be a clown then your gonna have problems.. here is a example.. there is a motorcycle street bike group in my area.. real clowns.. I'm doing 60km/h roughly(my speedo is 38% out with no speedo healer, So I judge by traffic) and these clowns know I stunt and they pow wow wheelie by me(this is what 90% of all people who wheelie and dont' know what there doing do.. it's off the throttle and back on really quick.. and there in the middle of powerband and it's a uncontrolled lift)And the one kid caught it nicely in powerband and it flipped on him and he slide for about 100 ft before he hit a island in the middle of the road and having his arm ripped off.. And I just cruise by and shake my head.... There are MANY threads on bike forums about what size of CC to start out on. It's all about Respect and self control.

Yes, everyone is entitled to my opinion Arent you the same Sven kid that was one here a year or two ago wanting everything for free because you risked your life in Afghanistan? That is what I based my opinion on that you are a punk kid... If not.......well.....I was going to say I apologize, but I don't. Even if you are NOT the SAME punk kid, your attitude makes it pretty clear you are A punk kid.... So, just to be clear, it is a lot better to do stunt tricks slowly in a parking lot to impress some dudes skank girlfriend than it is rip around the streets to impress some dudes skank girlfriend. I agree wholeheartedly. This way, if you kill yourself you are not likely to take too many innocent people with you..

Another problem with those larger displacement bikes is one my buddy mentioned to me, where if you hit a pothole or something and your hand slips on the throttle you could easily end up flipping it right there! On the other hand, although a 250 is great to start on, most people say you grow out of them pretty fast, especially on highway. Although the new ones are probably way better than my 400... But seriously to all those considering, get a bike, they're cheaper than cars, and will make you a better driver because you'll start watching out for everyone thinking they'll cut into your lane at any moment!

Yeah, that is one thing I worry about being on a bike, is someone not respecting them, and cutting me off. It's a lot easier to lose control on a bike than in a car, and a car has a lot more padding than a bike. Sven... And I more self control to not post crap on this board about someone then you may think ziggy. This I will give him, because a good friend of mine told me that he was ready to post up some stuff he apparently knows about my wife? Someone who he's never met? I'd LOVE to see that.

They were suprized on what I knew.. and If he told you what I have access to or know about.. then I bet your suprized and puzzled aswell I'm sure he told you in regards to what I know.

Here are some DIRECT quotes off a forum that i'm on
" Wondering if anyone out there suffers from it as bad as I do??? Im chill when im in my truck but when I ride streets I can lose my cool super fast...
Dont think that I run around just destroying peoples property for no reason... not the case at all... I have 13 torn off mirrors to my credit, one fucked up door on a benz, one shattered side window and 3 destroyed windshields.
All of these were either from people attempting to run me over, run me off the road, changing lanes damn near into me, deliberately trying to cause me to wreck.... I dont do these things to people that call the cops I just wave to get their attention and then flip them off. People here simply just dont watch for bikes enough..
Probably the most bullshit of all was a ricer faggot deliberately changing lanes into me while I was up on one because I looked over at him and his girl and nodded my head at her and blew her a kiss from inside my helmet while she was ear to ear grinning the whole time. He suffered 1 torn off mirror, 1 shattered side window, and 1 very fucked up windscreen"
"Ihave atleast 20some mirrors, hand full of car tires and a few dented doors under my belt as well.. And I am the same way, (I don't go out just to do that but when people don't look and change lanes with out signal or I see them blabbing on the cell or texting and just decide to move over without looking in there mirror ) as I see it... THey don't need the mirror if there not going to use it, now they have to look over there shoulder to see next time... "
"I definately have horrible road rage, more so in my car though because I cant split lanes to go around the slow ass people in the fast lane. I only have 2 mirrors, a fender, chipped paint, and craked windshield, right now. but I love your asp idea and cant believe I never thought of that before. I used to keep a bunch of washers in my tank bag to throw at the people that tried to kill me, thats were the paint chips and cracked winshields came from. Works pretty good. "

the magnets and spark plugs teach a person a good lesson when there coming at your front window at 100+km/h.. Criminal Code Section 430: Mischief430. (1) Every one commits mischief who wilfully (a) destroys or damages property; (b) renders property dangerous, useless, inoperative or ineffective; (c) obstructs, interrupts or interferes with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property; or (d) obstructs, interrupts or interferes with any person in the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property. ASP is a retractable night stick.. it saves your wrists and hands from just punching off a side mirror or punching in a fender.. Criminal Code Section 90 : Carrying a concealed weapon90. (1) Every person commits an offence who carries a weapon, a prohibited device or any prohibited ammunition concealed, unless the person is authorized under the Firearms Act to carry it concealed. Criminal Code Section 91(2) : Unauthorized possession of prohibited weapon or restricted weapon(2) Subject to subsection (4), every person commits an offence who possesses a prohibited weapon, a restricted weapon, a prohibited device, other than a replica firearm, or any prohibited ammunition, without being the holder of a licence under which the person may possess it. ( jay.B put his asp through the guys driver window and then smacked him in the face with it.. Criminal Code Section 267 : Assault with a Weapon or Causing Bodily Harm267. Every one who, in committing an assault, (a) carries, uses or threatens to use a weapon or an imitation thereof, or (b) causes bodily harm to the complainant, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years or an offence punishable on summary conviction and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding eighteen months. Sounds just like the people I like to hang out with ...

Yeah, but Jeff, you forget, this is Sven we're talking about here. It's not like this wasn't going to happen at some point.
Maybe since this is locked, Sven will take a hike?
