Maybe he was just a normal guy until he saw that CZ sticker. That would make me go crazy.The wife and I were in OC on Saturday looking at a (gasp) mini-van for me, and while driving down the 57 freeway some dope on a gixxer must have seen the Buell & CZ stickers on the rear window of the Element, and decided to show us his "stuntin" capabilities by whooshing by us, hanging both legs off the clutch side of the bike, and like something you'd do on a horse, bounced his feet off the ground and hopped his legs to the other side of the bike, all at 65+ mph.
Well it didn't work out so good for this stuntah', as he almost ate it big and got into a big tank-slapper for a few hundred feet before regaining a feeble amount of control back, and immediately exited the freeway out of embarassment.
I'd hate to be torpedoed by a gixxer. What started this insane fad? Some lemming-like penchant for self destruction? Over population? Bad genes?
Bytchin' coffin tank, but usually you see those right behind a girder front end!What? No likee CZ? What about Falta Replica?
Not sure if its sheer stupidity or what. I think its just a way to top past generations on how crazy they can get?I'd hate to be torpedoed by a gixxer. What started this insane fad? Some lemming-like penchant for self destruction? Over population? Bad genes?
Were Sachs and DKW the same thing?Buz, are you refering to the DKW's you thumbnailed in, or the CZ? I have to agree with the DKW's being piles, but the mighty CZ was THE BIKE TO HAVE back in '73.
Buell promotes stunting, as does BMW and now Kawasaki is getting on board. He was just showing off because of your stickers for sure, and obviously it worked because you are writing about it! Not sure how you get a tank slapper at 65mph on a gixxer...seeing they all have fairly nice dampners that come stock.The wife and I were in OC on Saturday looking at a (gasp) mini-van for me, and while driving down the 57 freeway some dope on a gixxer must have seen the Buell & CZ stickers on the rear window of the Element, and decided to show us his "stuntin" capabilities by whooshing by us, hanging both legs off the clutch side of the bike, and like something you'd do on a horse, bounced his feet off the ground and hopped his legs to the other side of the bike, all at 65+ mph.

Nah, we just think you're an idiot.I see you are a moderator, so I guess rather then seeing your faux pas I am sure I will get banned for "personally attacking" you or something bogus.
His IP address puts him in the LA area so at least this isn't another Kook attack. I don't mind the entertainment.Every one of this guys posts have been flogging stunta videos in one way or an other, I'm not sure what kind of response he expects to get from us with this sort of thing. Personally I think there are other web sites that would be more to his liking as we tend to focus on actual riding more than glorifiying d*ckhead behavior.
Do you still have the stock Expand-o-Matic brake lines? That's where half your braking squeeze is most likely going.His IP address puts him in the LA area so at least this isn't another Kook attack. I don't mind the entertainment.
On another note, replacing the single piston calipers on the '80 GL1100 with dual-piston calipers from the '82 GL1100 makes an amazing difference in reduced sponginess and now I don't need Popeye forearms to stop the bike. Now if I could just find a way to put some brakes from a Zrex on there.......
I put SS lines on before I replaced the calipers. Those old slugs just couldn't cut it, even after rebuilding, so I took a chance and got '82s off of ebay and lo and behold they fit perfectly. That's change I can believe in!Do you still have the stock Expand-o-Matic brake lines? That's where half your braking squeeze is most likely going.
Anyway chicks dig those big Popeye forearms..
You're a funny guy. That's a somewhat uninformed statement, don'tcha think?I don't think many 40 year olds give gsxrs....
