Two years after Kawasaki stepped into the ring to face Suzuki, the ZX-14 and GSX1300R Hayabusa remain the only machines in a universe all their own. No literbike can match the asphalt-peeling 100 ft-lbs of torque that pours forth from these 1340cc-plus hyperbikes.

Vintage Kraft R/C Motorcycle, Eleck Rider restored.


See my Response video to see the record Jump video from a couple of years past. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoXs349YK7E
When I worked at Kraft RC systems, Phil Kraft gave me this bike to test, promote and have fun with. I took it to Hawaii when I was on vacation and showed all the hobby stores on Oahu how it ran. It likes those rounded speed bumps in parking lots, and we had lots of fun showing off the First Mass Produced RC motorcycle in history.
It was a challenge to make the steering work, as bikes steer different than car geometry. (Google "How Bicycles turn", to verify my comments"). The bike is fun and fast. When I took out a tooth on one of the primary gears in the transmission, I was left with no way to run it again. But my machinist friend, Dave Raubinger, who made all the parts for my Hyperfly Prototypes when I was working on that project for Kyosho, volunteered to make some gears for me on his mill. He did a fabulous job, as you can see.
The bike is difficult to run, as it must be balanced and takes a fine finger to keep it upright in turns. Here, the street is a bit narrow for the turn ratio it needs, but none the less this was a fun video to make. Thanks for watching and Subscribing.

Motorcycle Stunt Girls: Graceful Perfection

World exclusive Ducati 848 Evo first ride coming up


Two months ahead of its official launch in Imola, MCN has got its hands on the new Ducati 848 Evo. Replacing the current 848, the 140bhp Evo has more power, a steering damper and Monobloc Brembos from the Ducati 1198R superbike.

Senior Road tester, Michael Neeves has tested Ducati's new mini-superbike on the track and road and says, "The 848 was already one of the best cornering bikes you can buy, with just the right balance between handling and power. The 848 Evo still has this magical balance but it's that bit sharper overall. It's right up there as one of the best sports bike I've ever tested."

Save time, go online at dol.wa.gov. This is the first installment of a 4-part series concerning Washington state's motorcycle skills test. Part 1 addresses the "Sharp Turn" and "Normal Stop."

How to Ride a Motorcycle for the Very First Time!


More info below in this video's description V V V

If you want more advice and videos about riding check out http://www.m13online.com

Alright, regarding the braking issue...a few people have said that you should learn to use both brakes from the beginning......and I agree. But just not the VERY beginning. Because the VERY FIRST time you use a bike it's confusing enough without two different brakes being thrown in....one of which if pulled too hard can drop the bike on it's side in a flash. So the point of this video is to learn how to use the clutch....and while focusing on that....it's best to just focus on that. And when coming to a complete stop.....you should be braking rear 90% and front 10%. Which is the opposite of how you brake when traveling at speed.

lyrics:

you can be
whatever u want
when you're high
walk slowly
with a spirit by your side
(oh baby)
don't fear if u lose your mind
say how u doin' boy i'm feelin' fine
... when somethin' carries me away... hey hey hey hey....
-
don't think
just take a ride
don't believe
that jesus lied
to keep us all so satisfied
with a sale
u should know baby

don't feel
the thorny nights
never ask
for holy rites
don't ya think
that god has died
this time
-
and don't stop
takin' these drugs cuz' they
got u flyin' forgettin' yesterday
maybe it's crazy but keep gettin' stoned while u can
baby in the lord's hands
-
don't say
u know what's right

don't take
those alibis
don't hate
the other side
when they're right
sure they are baby

don't wave
your flag up high
don't praise
your concubines
did u just
fall for lies
this time

Third Eye Blind - Motorcycle Driveby


I made this for me, because this is one of my favorite bands, and favorite song of all time. enjoy
Lyrics -
Summer time and the wind is blowing outside
In lower Chelsea and I don't know
What I'm doing in this city
The sun is always in my eyes
It crashes through the windows
And I'm sleeping on the couch
When I came to visit you
That's when I knew
That I could never have you
I knew that before you did
Still I'm the one who's stupid

And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've never been so alive

Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes
And you don't mind, you smile.
And say the world, it doesn't fit with you
I don't believe you, you're so serene
Careening through the universe
Your axis on a tilt, you're guiltless and free
I hope you take a piece of me with you

And there's things I would like to do
That you don't believe in
I would like to build something
But you'll never see it happen

And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've, I've never been so alive

And there's this burning, aaa-oh
There is this burning, yeah yeah yeah

Where's the soul I want to know
New York City is evil
The surface is everything
But I could never do that
Someone would see through that

And this is our last time
We'll be friends again
I'll get over you, you'll wonder who I am

And there's this burning
Just like there's always been
I've never been so alone, alone
And I, and I, I've never been so alive
So alive

I go home to the coast
It starts to rain I paddle out on the water, alone
Taste the salt and taste the pain
I'm not thinking of you again

Summer dies and swells rise
The sun goes down in my eyes
See this rolling wave
Darkly coming to take me home

And I've never been so alone
And I've never been so alive
