5 pair ofshoes? My wife has over250 pairs and a purse to match them all! And there the big dollar ones too. I don't think the bike for every day will fly with her though!lol

Well dude no offense but looking the way you do in your avatar it's no wonder that you have to keep your old lady weighed down withall those expensive designer name items just to keep her from running off with the pool boy.
I mean damn man! You look like some freak out of the late 70’s, put that sweater on and flip the collar up for Christ sake.

ORIGINAL: deej

If anyone is having trouble getting on a tall bike or any bike its because your trying to swing your leg over the seat while standing on the ground. That's the wrong way.
Actually that's the way I always get on a bike. I never have trouble swinging my leg over seat.

If minute long advertisements are any indication, this bike looks promising.

I saw one on youtube where the rider was leaning over the handlebars trying to keep the front end down, and it still kicked up on him as he exited a corner.

Here we go...

It sure sounds a tonne more vicious than our KLX!

Thanks for posting the link to that video. Very enjoyable. I noticed he never seemed to sit down, I wonder what that says about the seat? (Just joking.) I wish I had the skill to slide corners like he does while standing up. I guess I need tons more practice.

The music not so good! I ride 90% standing and almost always slide the rear like that, Thats why he's over the handlebars superman style lightening the rear tire, and shortening the apex and increasing exit speed. You can also slide back over the rear tire after the turn and snap the throttleand wheelie out, big fun too.Next time out try it out!

Ponch,
Isn't it a little tough riding that old KZ1000 standing up and wheelieing out the turns?
