thats just one of the roads, and the tards are very quick there in the tight stuff, but on some other, quicker roads with some fast sweepers, etc, they just need a little more steam, i was just showing the video to show we dont ride freeways/highways!

I think they are kind of cool; they have their place. I've seen some guys in the mountains here just flat out MOVE on them. Made me feel like a retard.

Shoot, and I had heard that those single-cylinder bikes vibrated like a mofo at high RPM

Guess that's why I've never seen the appeal. Maybe it's a regional thing... around here, no tracks, no twisties, no motards. Just can't see spending real money on a bike that limited.

If I wanted that sort of buzziness, I'd get an FZ1.

I want one....BAD....BUT only as a "toy"....for when I'm feeling particularly hooligan-ish. Every time I'm at the bike shop with my wife, I look at the DRZ-400SM and she says "DON'T EVEN THINK IT....I've seen you ride a dirt bike and you're NOT having one on the street!"

on trials bikes... When someone first posted those videos I started searching all over for a cheap used one... I found that you either keep your trials bike forever, or 30 some years... There's no inbetween.
