Two Smoker's new bike

[Riff Raff]

Well Two Smoker took the Rebel for a test ride today, and he absolutely loved her, despite not being able to do stoppies or wheelies on her!!!

[justsomeguy]

Is that bike one of those kids bikes? Cos Two Smoker looks as though he is 8 foot tall and 4 feet wide - and from what I've seen he isn't.

Yea, I was gunna say. The rebel does look tiny with Chris on it.

Hey TS, I am sure you could have got your knee down on it if you REALLY tried. Afterall, you did it on my van. LOL

Did he get his knee down? It looks like he's kinda hanging off the bike a bit in the first pic.

That Van pic was one stupid pointless useless good for no particular purpose picture

no wonder i love it so much........

Was the van static - or were you moving at a slow speed - ?

Na bro, the van was at a full on race pace! It probably would have tipped over and rolled if TS wasn't hanging off it.

I reakon if i went for a long ride on it, i might be able to.... It was alot of fun to ride (MR you should have a go) the only problem was every corner i went around the pegs were grinding away.... Extremely comfy, and pulled reasonably well for a 250... Tried a stoppie but the front tyre isnt sticky enough... But if it had a sticky front tyre will try get my knee down at another time....

Tee hee - he looks like that bike is far roo small for him. He looks all gangly.

Lol cool. It'll be like sailing in a yatch. When it goes up on two wheels round a corner, we can hang off from the inside to try keep it down.

Scraping on the road... Hmmm nice. Scraping off road? It'll be like "Ooooh this dirt feels nice, OUCH BUMP, Ahh feck, ROCK! Bye bye knee"

Thank God. Did you thank him for saving your life?

Oh yeah - when turning a van or a car or 4x4 - at what degree should your knee ideally be bent? Does it matter if you hold the door with three or four fingers?


Also how much does bending your neck help the car turn?

I've also heard closing your eyes when you have an off makes the car automatically correct itself.

Na, cause we were just demonstrating how side car techniques can also be transferred to 4 wheels. We knew what we were doing.

Ideally you need to be changing your angle with relation to where you are in the corner. You need to have maximum bending angle when hitting the apex and adjust accordingly on the approach and exit. A 5 finger grip is required for maximum grip.

Also how much does bending your neck help the car turn?

Bend your neck to adjust your head angle to view where you are heading. This will improve your lines and smoothness.

This must an advanced technique that I haven't practiced yet. Tho, I think it might just be not my style.

[justsomeguy]

I was joking bout the closing your eyes - ostrich in the sand thing

Looks like I should get some riding lessons from you...........

as of now my skills are a 0 on a scale of 1-10

Have a great new years ---

See you ( in person ) some day,

*i'm off*

Once again - enjoy the new years and remember it's only illegal if you get caught.

Bye now

Don't worry, I was joking too.

I don't really ride on the road these days because I don't have a road bike. When I get one sorted, if we ever meet in a KB ride or something, I'll have a look at what you are doing.

You have a good new years too dude.

Catch ya.

You look alittle big, and I think a few tassles off the leathers should do it. Riff Raff, why did you buy that bike, Im not being rude just interested to hear? As I read somewhere you plan on a Ducati Monster, which to me is a very different looking bike to the mighty Rebel. :spudbooge
