Personal Power

Regarding my obesssion with freedom...

We live outside of the mainstream and want to buck the system. Skateboard, Punk Rock and Motorcycles have always been about freedom and getting away from the media produced lifestyles that have been jammed down our throats since birth. We all have the ability to live by our own policies and have some fun while doing it. I try and remember that every day.

Fight the Power....

 A quote from Glory.

2012 Honda VFR1200X

It's a land yacht that weights 606 lbs wet with a detuned VFR1200F motor in it. It has an ADV-fashionable beak that looks funny, a heavy and power-robbing shaft drive, GS-style spoked wheels running tubeless tires, and linked-brakes. Oh dear. It's not made to go off-road (obviously), but sort of looks the part if you didn't know it was 200 lbs overweight. The thing is silly. And I think I'll just have to have one.

Sport Bikes with Dirt Bars

This week I can't stop dreaming about a good sport bike fitted with nice, wide, comfortable dirt bike bars. These set-ups can be pieced together or purchased as a kit. Here's one from LSL via Hai. Just look at it. And now imagine a short Righteous Stunt Clutch and handbrake on that left bar. Oh what fun!

2012 Honda CBR1000RR

I just like the way it looks. And the basic motorcycle is the same as the 2008-2011 bike, just with revised fairings and instrumention. Oh, I just love it all.

Yamaha WR250X / WR250R

The Bike: Yamaha WR250R (WR250X is supermoto version)

290cc Big Bore kit by Athena for WR250R and X. Yes!

Full Throttle Inc. makes a dual caliper rear handbrake kit for stunt riding.

With a little tuning and a few other choice mods, this little thing looks to be one of the best bikes currently offered on the planet. I'll take one. Thank you, world.
