My bike is bigger than both of your bikes.
And my women hotter.
So there.

Boutique rider?
I guess I enjoyed my motorcycles much like my dive gear... form and function over unnecessary fru-fru BS. (BP/W rocks!)
For a bargain of a price too... If I balled it up it wasn't a big deal. I used to laugh at the guys with their fancy italian bikes afraid to ride them because they might get scratched, and if they did try and push 'em they realized they were subpar in performance to any of the top 4.I'm not sure what a boutique rider is but if road racing is considered being a boutique rider than I guess that's me. We always refered to the idiots with 20k "fine italian machinery" that would ride 2 miles a week to starbucks and back home as the cafe racers.
Ahhh I need to get back to the track it's been too long... Blackhawk farms raceway circa 2006 on my SV :cool2:
Ah yes, you fearless road course riders. No dirt on road, no cages, no braving the elements. How many miles do you put on while riding the close course? Hell, I'll bet that the Hardly-Ableson boyz put on more miles going to their mall cruising and Starbuck posing than you ever will.
But hey, it's all good. Some of us are real riders and some of us are boutique riders.
And if you're gonna take a corner, try to do it on an overgrown dirt bike and then I'll be impressed.
PS Taking it out to the track ain't "racing". When Honda/Yamaha/Suzuki/Kawasaki/Ducati/Aprilia/BMW/Triumph started paying you to wear their colors, then it's racing.
Gotta love California: California Speedway, Infineon, Laguna Seca, Buttonwillow, Willow Spring/Streets of Willow Spring.

I've owner about 2 dozen motorcycles over the years so at one point yes I used to ride a LOT on the street. Matter of fact I used to do 600 mile days to SW Wisconsin/Minn on a GSXR1000 along with multiple trips to deals gap and up the blue ridge parkway. I used to average about 20k miles in 7 months.
I still don't know what a boutique rider is?
You mean backing it in like this?
You see I grew up on two wheels... Got my first bike when I was 9 and this is the first time in my life I'm actually bikeless because my weekends are now spent underwater. Let me know if you want me to post the pictures of me scrapping footpeg on a goldwing 2-up in deals gap or if these will do :cool2:
Here's a few more of my f4i while I'm at it...
My old klx110 with a 143 bigbore kit
Tell that to CCS, WERA, and all the AMA privateers out there
PS if you're going to talk **** on track riders don't post pictures of someone on the track, especially somone that isn't you. Can we all agree you've been successfully owned now?
Try winning an argument with me about deep air... you have better odds.-Nick
P.S. cute leathers LOL you are one of those guys that wears full leathers on the street... on a dirtbike no less LOL NICE!
Dear BP/W-philes,
What makes you tick? I may like, or even love my gear (mmm, spring straps), but in responding to posts on regs I try to not bring up safety sausages, and in responding to posts on computers I try to not mention the type of fin I use. However, to me it seems that BP/W is the cure to whatever diving malady ails me. It will help me achieve better trim (clearly proper weighting through any other means is impossible), get more bottom time (streamlining by other means cannot be achieved), allow me to avoid getting speeding tickets and will lessen the severity of jelly stings. Don't get me wrong - I am sure that it is great for you and works for you. Heck, it might even work for me if I gave it a try. The point is that I travel to many of my dive sites and a nice travel BC suits me just fine.
Is there a "you-drank-the-Kool-Aid" emoticon on SB? You know, a cross betweenand :guillotine: with a very healthy dose of
thrown in? Even a "Call the Question" (cf. Robert's Rules of Order) icon to help focus people on what the OP asked, as opposed to what you are dying to say?
Well, I had an opportunity to rent a new Scuba Pro Equator. I enjoyed using it and liked the weight integration, did not like the sternum strap but overall I found the jacket comfortable and easy to use and easy to get trimmed out. But, due to my claustrophobic dislike of anything pushing on my chest or on my chest or tied around my chest, I will stick with nothing (no BC) or a wing/BP as I have always. I have never owned a Poodle Jacket nor have I ever really used one that I recall until this past week. I see the attraction but I am not going to bite, I am a wing/BP diver if I must have a BC. But, I think I am adding weight integration to my Hog harness for warm water diving with minimal exposure protection, with more or heavier exposure protection, I will stay with a weight belt. N

Sorry Mr StreetDoctor but Danth's Law and all, you just lost
But please continue anyway if you feel like it, comparisons between men about their toys and other things are always highly amusing to me

If you haven't done some offroading in Arizona's 110-F sun with leathers on, then you haven't done any real riding.
600-miles days in Wisconsin? Oh my, that's some heavy mileage.

Listen "stud" (your word not mine) I understand you are from the land of fruits and nuts and all but pretty much anything you're going to try and one-up me with in the motorcycling world you're going to lose.
It does get to 100F+ here and there is humidity to match it unlike Arizona. It also gets sub zero and then we stud the tires and do endurance racing on frozen lakes (on streetbikes too). A 600 mile DAY (not days) is pretty much riding from sun up to sun down. I've gone longer on a goldwing but my limit on a "crotch rocket" is about 600 miles. At that point my ass, arms, and elbows go numb. Yes I have done multiple 600 mile days in a row also. Not on the interstate but the ABC county roads. Unless you've ridden there they compare closely to the mountains by you (yes I've ridden there also). I didn't wear full matching leathers either
If you'd like to go way back I'm sure I could dig up some pictures of me competing on MTV in the BMX park CFB series put on my Matt Hoffman. Like I said I grew up on two wheels.
What's your next topic to debate? I'm done talking about motorcycles, if this continues I'm going to have to go out and buy one.
Back to BP/W's, deep air, UTD vs GUE, and whether or not GI3 was the second coming.
