Fucking up the layout but I can't be arsed to resize

What I ride nowadays, dad's Suzuki Savage 650LS:

My old 125cc, Honda NSR:

Few are the feelings that beat a) raging down the road on a streetmachine of steel, gears are jammed in full I'm a madman at the.. handlebars or b) cruising on the lone roads of Norrland and fuck yeah I MUST go home this weekend to get a final ride before the winter
 
okay, this new forum softare = WIN

why? because giant images don't fuck up the layout anymore, that's something i've been waiting for FOREVER.
 
Agreed again, that layout adjustment kicks arse.

I'm in the market for a bike, will probably get one this weekend. Then I need my licence. Then I need a will.
 
footbalm, that 125 is great. they dont export that kinda stuff to the states. the last cool small bike i remember was the FZR400. i think the last one here was in maybe 90 or '91. very cool bike.

disclaimer: yeah, theres the ninja 250 but it's not really a race bike. very nice though
 
There are lots of cool racing Aprilias and stuff but those are pretty much another league than used hondas or Suzukis, but IMO the NSR beats the GSX (Suzuki equivalent) and the Yamaha kind that I forgot what it's called (YZR?)... Thing is, up to 125cc can be driven from age 16 here so of course I needed one of those then, and the only thing such small bikes are good for is seeing just how much speeeeeed you can force out of it... 140km/h was about max for mine, but I've had it up at 155 (that's what, 98mph or so).

LIVE FAST RIDE HARD DIE YOUNG and all that
Yeah... that looks good on paper.

Look, I support a person's right to ride. I even support their right not to wear a helmet. I just think a motorcycle, as a primary mode of transportation, is insane.

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild​

WELL, not wearing a helmet is kinda stupid and illegal in Sweden, and I don't really hellbike as transportation, I do it because I like it, but the reason I post this is: You won't die unless you ride like a moran or with a bike in bad condition. With some exceptions of course, but loads of people die in cars or walking as well so fuck those.

Perhaps not entirely accurate, but I'd say a good majority of accidents are caused by this. Some of those bikes are VERY fucking powerful machines and the riders of them are plain fucking stupid. I consider myself anything but a rev head, after all, I ride a fucking pushbike at the moment, out of spite for automobiles (no, my empty bank account has nothing to do with it!).

Not even close to being true. In a motorcycle, you are completely at the mercy of everyone driving a car. Of all the people that I've known, that have been either seriously injured or killed on a motorcycle, it was always a case of someone in a car doing something stupid.

People die sleeping as well. However, riding a bike on the highway, is like showing up to a gun fight with a knife.
