> [@Online movie sites?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/online-movie-sites/15626/12): > > Hows this thing go at higher speeds does it suck? LOL its a dirt bike! Yeah anything past 75mph feels like your being blown off the back of it! Their isnt any aero plastic or windscreens to channel the air around you. Not to say they cant be run up to 90-100, but it isnt fun. With a tooth less on my front gear, I topped out my 625SM at 98 and it was not as fun as I thought it would be! lol. The little clamp on mirrors I got from my uncle, they were on his buel. I will ask him where he got them and pm you. I am dropping my front wheel off at griffens in an hour, so I should be blasting tonight. I can f-n’ wait. ---

i was doing 70-75 for about an hour tru all back roads and what not up to cooperstown and it wasnt that bad. i may take the rear sprocket down another few teeth to make it 15/45. I was at a pretty high rpm the whole time but nothing crazy. but when the crotch rockets took of i was like baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ---

it was a rent a cop at first that pulled him over… he ducked out and then didnt see any cops then all of a sudden bam cop was in front of him so he decided to stop. he was just gona get a ticket for ridn on the sidewalk but then a tropper came and got him for wreckless driving, failuar to comply and riding on sidewalk. those are some major tickets but im still not sure why he got it towed… as for the stand up wheelie that was the first day i had done them in awile so i was a little rusty plus i had about 9 layers of clothes on haha wait till summer comes they will be endless ---

I took this for a nice 20 minute ride today. It’s amazing how much more fun this actually is to ride compared to a streetbike. It might just be me but I feel a LOT more comfortable riding a sumo than a sportbike. Probably because I grew up riding dirtbikes and the like. Also a hell of a lot easier to wheelie for me. I would just crack the throttle in 2nd and the front end came right up. After that it was just a matter of balance. Fucking great I tell ya. I didn’t do so well with standing up though, I need a LOT more practice before I can jump on and start doing those :lol Sick bike though for sure. I can’t get enough of it. Little loud for my tastes but it sounds badass and gets a ton of attention.
