Open letter to riders [bad ideas inside]

Oh I know, and I would do the same thing from time to time to clean of debris, etc… but the bro was doing it while standing up and looking around. Super obnoxious. Not to mention his attire. Ugh, squids.

you know it doesnt generate virtually any heat?

lol at this :wink:

I do it to get shit off the tire but I remember one of the track coaches saying that its a dangerous way to “warm up” your tires on a street with all the other stuff you leave yourself open to hit. He said that riding normally allows heat to spread through your tires just fine.

Hard braking and hard acceleration heat tires.

Edit. Track coaches?

Willy are you bike-less right now after selling the ninja

Ya it was some instructional video on YouTube during a classroom session at a track day. They got into the discussion of street riding and sticky tires and brought up warming the tires and the instructor said that riding straight lines and doing accelerating and braking is better than the weave and safer.

That’s exactly it. The squid on the highway the other day really “grinds my gears!”

Yes, I’m bikeless, Sans my 1999 GT DYNO AIR (shits got mag wheels )

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - A suspected reckless motorcycle rider has discovered the law’s long arm now reaches into cyberspace.

The Yakima County Sheriff’s office says they tracked the 19-year-old man down via Facebook.

Deputy Chris Gray says early Monday in a release that the incident began when a man on a motorcycle outran pursuing deputies late last week near Moxee, just east of Yakima.

Authorities later noticed a Facebook posting by a man boasting about eluding officers, as well as a photo on the page of a motorcycle similar to the one they sought.

Gray says that when the suspect was rousted at 4 a.m. Saturday by deputies with both a search warrant and a printout of the page, he acknowledged he was the rider.

The man, whose name was not released, has been charged with reckless driving and other infractions.

Fascinating…

Cops are getting smarter. They are going on the stupid people’s intuition to post details of them beating the law. Typically its been idiots that have public details posted on forums or public pages but I am waiting for them to have enough evidence and actually subpoena a friend of their suspect for access to the pages details.

BUMP!!!

Ahhh damn. I didn’t log in for a couple days and missed all the fun!

BUMP!

The CRF likes sidewalks. There is less traffic!
