Speeding?

[OUTLAWD]

Anyone do this? I haven't been able to work up the cajones to do it yet, even at modest speeds above the limit. I keep telling myself next time I'm sitting behind slow drivers on I25, or on an empty canyon road (or wherever) that I'm going to exceed the speed limit, even slightly, just because I'm on a bike and can, but I haven't done it yet. For some reason, it scares me more than the boogie man, and I don't know why! It's not because I could get a ticket, or seem like a douche to all the other people on the road, or endanger myself and other people on the road...I don't know what it is.

ps: I know speeding is illegal, but I still want quality advice on how to do it

[tecknojoe]

speed never killed anyone. suddenly becoming stationary, that's what get's you

[ndnbennyb]

Bahahahaha.

[GuitarX]

Hell no. It's only legal in Cali anyway. I would NEVER do it in CO.

:no::slap:

[CaneZach]

Well played, Dave

[vort3xr6]

Can the oak express get over 75?

:)

[OUTLAWD]

with the baggage and backrest...barely


on a completely related note, am I the only one noticing the influx of completely asinine posts lately...I realize it's springtime people, but come on...

maybe we can get a few more threads going...running red lights, running from the po, proper sandal wearing for canyon carving, rear-ending poeple 101

[vort3xr6]

I can start a how to loop out thread no problem. WillB and Zach929 can come in for backup!

[zPurpleRoom]

:applause: Well played sir! Well played.

[chad23]

i be honest, i did it once. i wasnt that impressed at all...... we are talking about doing the speed limit

[Bueller]

I only speed after consuming mass quantities of beer.

[rfranks303]

I only speed on federal and never with a helmet. I find its much more enjoyable if I use one gallon of industrial stangth styling gel to keep my head safe. After a long Sunday afternoon of speeding from one red light to the next I find its fun to turn around (12 point turn of course) and do it in the other direction.

[Zach929rr]

I've done it on c470 between alameda and Morrison road. Id do it again too.

[FZRguy]

I never speed, but I do lane share.....on the sidewalk.

[CaptGoodvibes]

I don't even like to ride in double digits.

[OUTLAWD]

I don't even like to ride in double digits.

so you only ride in triple digits? any tips on how to do it? do I need to be in a full tuck if I'm just starting out?

[CaptGoodvibes]

No no... I top out at 9mph... usually sidesaddle with an umbrella drink in hand.

:lol:

[Sean]

It's not only speeding that scares me, it's roads and people. I take dirt roads everywhere. That way I can average a comfortable 6-8 mph at all times. There usually isn't any posted speed limit, so I just assume it's "as slow as possible."

You drink and ride? omg dude...

I think I got a picture of you getting off of your bike that night:

[Foolds]

I really Prefer to get off my bike and push it in the canyons.. Feels much more stable.. And that way I can actually get my knee down too!

[Zach929rr]

That's just cold. How dare you insinuate I would wear pink.

[vort3xr6]

Pink is for chicks. And chicks are for fags.

[MetaLord 9]

I was trying to distract from the fact that you were wearing socks & sandals...

Mission accomplished. Oh lawds.

I generally like to speed when its snowing out, wearing a tank top and shorts, no helmet with sandals on. I shave my head, so Ive purchased a mullet wig just for those special occasions. Then I split the lanes and run red lights without checking for cross traffic. I mean I get up to at least 14 miles per hour, its like super fast. I just mentally add a zero next to the indicated speed. I really like to slip the clutch so that it sounds like im going faster than I am. I also like to buy brand new tires and do burnouts with em cause chicks dig guys that have mullets and smell like burned rubber.

[Fernman]

I like to rev really high at the stop light so that all the cars are aware that I am there for safety.

[extremepaint]

i like to make vroom vroom noises at the light and also when i get off the bike and walk into the bar makes me feel like im goin fast!

[Spooph]

I like to do clutch-ups and drifts while making vroom-vroom noises with shopping carts at the grocery store.... The security guards always glare at me but have never pulled me over. King Soopers is more lenient and than Target...

[koru]

I like the speed limit its 150 in town and 200 on the freeway right? Make sure you dont wear your gear the added weight takes of at least .3 mph off your top speed. And if you get scared like i do just close your eyes and let the sound of the crash... i mean engine calm your nerves ;P

[CaptGoodvibes]

Oh, it's not the speed really so much, I just wish I hadn't drunk all that cough syrup this morning.

more productive things i could have done with the 2 minutes i spent reading this thread. picking my nose and scratching my butt

Speeding is not cool, since it is expensive (tickets) and really scary (I almost ran into a bicycle one time).

I ride with all my gear on, wear ear plugs, check road conditions, ride within my limits (on the street, shut it Vellos). I also eat a hearty breakfast before riding, since low blood sugar can degrade your riding performance.

C'mon guys stop playing around, this is for real. PEOPLE ARE DYING OUT THERE.

Do mowhawks help stabilize your head while at speed? The riders I see wearing them look so bad ass and must be bad ass riders or else they wouldnt have them right? If you look like a bad ass you must be right? I bet they help getting the chicks because they must think your a bad ass.

[Dangodango]

I think that even car riders think that the speed limit on I-25 is like 100+ mph. I don't speed whatsoever...

[AOK303]

Finally got the bike above 45 Ohhhhhh yeah

[CaptGoodvibes]

I was thinking about trying out second gear sometime soon but I'm a'scared.

[AOK303]

Bikes have more then one gear? Are you sure!

[OUTLAWD]

my bike has one speed...and I can still speed

In all seriousness, Im hypoglycemic, My sugar will drop into the low 20's. I always keep Oj and chocolate milk with me on rides, and eat frequently. It does suck having to monitor it and make sure you address it before you go low. I really have to watch it at the track. Pretty much eat after every practice session and race. The hotter it is out, and the more active I am, the more sugar I burn. real pain in the ass, especially if you pass out while riding

That's what they told me when they delivered it to my house on a trailer.

[Snowman]

I personally have never seen what I do as speeding. I'm simply expediting the transfer of inertia in a solid mass.


17779And on a totally unrelated note... Is it me or does this bike scream to be sponsored by a dispensary?

[Davy4575]

Lmao, Ive heard that more than a few times

That's the most epic picture I have seen in a while, eat plenty of sugar and stay safe out there!

[Wrider]

Jeez Davy, not even motorcycle racing can keep you awake, I'd hate to see you watching golf or something!
