I love it when I see cars and motorcycles driven or ridden the way they were intended. Ducati Supersport Desmodue 900 Look at how far to the edge these Dunlop D2's are worn! Who else rides here? (Of course I know Le Bimb is Mr. Cray Cray... 🙏) ...  

The two bikes i ride the most are a MV Agusta F4 and a Harley D. Vrod . ...  

just the best in its category . Thanks for the photo! Cheers, Filip

I bought it 13 years ago and it still gives a huge smile on my face when i drive it

What's the cafe racer in the back? And the Hulk in front? Interesting front end... I actually prefer riding in the cold, but then LaLaLand is two seasons...😉

The hulk is a Italjet 125 scooter .

Wonderful garage you have there! 👏

But aren’t you too tall for a bike like that?? (at least that’s what Ducati drivers always told me; to forget it)

My F4 is perfect for me but also on the long run a hard machine to ride . For a nice cruise (mostly with my daughter ) i take the HD .

Feel free to show more pics of your MVs!

Will post a few pics of it soon if you want 😉

If you could do more along with the f4, a vintage vs modern side by side, that would be awesome!

Cheers, Filip

I noticed that the first thing everyone looks at were the tyre treads and chicken strips. I couldn't push the bike to its limits at first (it takes years to get there!), so even tried to think of a manual way to scrub in the tyres so as not to be embarras... 

Hi, ik2000, I'm still a squidly noob myself, and I respect ANY bike or car well ridden or driven, from 50cc scoots to superbikes. The other day I was leading two bikes - a Ninja and a Harley cruiser. I pulled right to let them pass as I started worrying a... 

My last bike was a 1998 Buell S1 White Lightning, and I wore the tires down like your Duck. Current bike is harder to wear the tires to the edge, but I sure have ground down some floor boards! ...  

The Duc wasnt mine, I saw it at the Snake overlook in Malibu. I am FAR from the edge - about 8mm...after 600 miles on new tires...

A lot depends on several parameters Is this done on a track or on some great canyon roads with a nice layer of asphalt (in the summer preferably) ? Climate plays a huge part as well, since i started riding my Scrambler in october i still have over 1 cm le... 

A true analogue bike that requires real skill...he just did a track day at Big Willow (Willow Springs) and I met him at the famous Snake overlook on Mulholland Highway in Malibu / Agoura Hills. NUTTER indeed...

.. am i correct ?

I don’t have a license and acquiring one now is unlikely. However there were two events that are relevant. First was when I was six and my dad took me to Austria to have a look at a children’s motocross model. You see he used to race in his youth and want... 

.. you don't see many bikers out here compared to 20 years ago. I used to get bored waving at the oncoming motor riders in those days, nowadays i feel like a lone ranger whenever i'm on a Ducati ... even on a sunny day. But strangely sales of motorcycles ... 

As the riding population ages you get more of them in the ‘fat years’, where they have a much higher disposable income. Which is temporarily good, since they go for all bells and whistles. The issue is that you can milk that only for those who rode a mope... 

So many nuggets in your post...but that last statement OMG NOOOoOOOOO 🤤😨😱

And it was certainly fun 😊😊😊

... but a Trump that is a nutter when it comes to cars ... inventing rules like: Cars should at least have 300 hp The more power a car has the less tax the owner pays Petrol is free No speed limits Big parts of nice driving roads should be converted in on... 

I believe fuel is so cheap in Turkmenistan as to be almost free I really miss the old times, especially relatively empty yet interesting country roads. Still out there, unfortunately none really close to where I live so as to make for a fun detour on the ... 

I would LOVE to read the abstract of your dissertation! I rode dirt bikes in my youth but put all the toys away when I had to act adult...then started riding again back in 2012...had an inexplicable off (from a red light turning left, no rain, no loose gr... 

It’s not too late for you - you rode dirt bikes when young. That’s the major difference. Without this or a similar experiences it’s difficult. You don’t fully forget to ride a bike and it’s the same if it has an engine or not. And if you start at over 30 ... 

Inside Line: Sampling the Future Curvilicious Lycra®-clad ladies, melting sun, shimmering wristwatches, cool shades, sticky snaky tarmac, glinting prototype bikes and an endless supply of paid up riding time. That’s why I got in to this line of work. Nope... 

With my short hairs erect and goosebumps at full plucked chicken! Where can I buy the book!?!? Thank you for sharing that reverie, I havent read something at once so engaging yet so chockablock full of easter egg hints and references in a VERY long time, ... 

I miss doing that stuff.

I ride And I drive I do both passionately but not madly. R. ...  

Would love to see more pics from your BMW bike 🤗 my father is working on a project looking like your bike . And that porsche 😱👌🏻😘

Here you are! ...
