Motorbikes vs cars Posted on: 29.02.2012 by Marva Cupid Alright, so me and my friend have an ongoing debate about this, he is a car guy and I am a bike guy. Just want to here ur opinions on the matter. ( but bikes are still better) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXI7U...e_gdata_player
Merlin Shufford 09.04.2012	Originally Posted by Bassline Brine If it didn't snow here, I'd ride a bike year-round. But as ice/snow is no good for such things, car is my option. Had an older Yamaha Virago 950 back in college (since I didn't drive much in the winter anyhow) and I loved the shit out of that bike. Really miss having one everytime spring rolls around. Soon. I agree it's extremely risky to ride a bike when it's showing. I once saw a guy who got in a road crash in front of me. He was fine, just scared but it was a good lesson for me anyway.
Dorie Scelzo 30.03.2012	Originally Posted by photojojo Exactly the opposite of everything you just said. They're going to be lighter and easier to ride. No clutch and flat platform for your feet make it great for beginners. Plus they typically get 50+ mpg. Interesting. I've never ridden with wheels that small (other than a big wheel when I was 3) and I assumed they'd be harder to control because they wouldn't act as efficiently as gyroscopes to turn the bike.

Cortney Draus 09.04.2012	I have an RM125, a VTR250 and a GSX750R. Bikes all the way
Lynell Piechocinski 09.04.2012	To drive i like more cars. Motos only as object to look at and only super bikes. No choppers or motocross.
Ervin Calvery 06.04.2012	I'm not a NASCAR fan, but I had so, so much fun driving that stock car.
Dorie Scelzo 06.04.2012	Nascar? Really?
Ervin Calvery 05.04.2012	Cars. http://imgur.com/W4o1p,bKCNa#0

Dorie Scelzo 30.03.2012	638cc scooter. Well, I'll be damned. Can you explain to me why that's a good idea? Seems basically like riding a motorcycle at that point, except I'd imagine it's harder to balance/steer because of the tiny wheels and less confidence inspiring because of the riding position. I could be wrong…never really ridden a scooter.

Dorie Scelzo 30.03.2012	Big highway scooters? What magic is this?
Leeanna Ayla 29.03.2012	Originally Posted by mostapha Is it possible to get in a high-speed scooter crash? I know guys that regularly travel in the triple digits on some of those big highway scooters.
Kassandra Guthmiller 29.03.2012	I've been able to drive for just over 5 years, but I have never owned a car, mostly due to the fact that I am in uni so I only have a part time job and cannot afford a car, petrol and insurance. I am tempted to get a bike, not a powerful one or anything mind you just a little 125, maybe to commute over to uni. I would presume they are cheaper to run than cars and there's the added bonus of not having to pay

Chuck Peretto 20.03.2012	Originally Posted by mostapha I'm aware. I was kind of just making the one insensitive racist joke that people still (usually) find funny. I found it hilarious. I was believeing the same thing. Thankfully most of those scooter wrecks were at low speeds. To niftynugget: I like your Fat Boy. Have many problems scrapping pavement when you are cornering? It looks extremely low to the ground with not much clearance.
Jacque Divinity 17.03.2012	Originally Posted by photojojo I knew that. I've tried to friend him on facebook, not because of music, but because of bikes. He's full up on friends though. he bought a honda motorcycle dealership off of the family of one of my friends a while back (since sold it), but another of my friends that still works there looks after his bikes... goes over to his house every now and then when he's away and starts them all up to keep the fluids flowing and the batteries charged.
nayit ruiz jaramillo 13.03.2012	Originally Posted by anteater32 Cars just suck. Such a powerful and convincing argument you present. Must remember to sell my fantastic car tomorrow. Meh.
Eleonor Muncie 13.03.2012	i'm a bit of both myself....bikes and cars. Here's a few pics of my baby...2012 Fat Boy Lo

Leeanna Ayla 12.03.2012	It's called target fixation. Some people have a hard time with not looking at what they don't want to hit.
Dorie Scelzo 11.03.2012	Moral #1: Scooters have no torque. Moral #2: Asians can't drive. How many of those were people just driving straight into things?
Leeanna Ayla 10.03.2012	This takes the title of the thread literally. If you still want a bike after watching this then you have the bug.
Ninfa Mazariegos 02.03.2012	The bike (before I added the oil cooler) [IMG][/IMG] The car (as I was fitting up the tires) [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]
Ninfa Mazariegos 02.03.2012	I've always been a huge fan of enduros. I still have my first bike that I got when I was 15 and am 27 today, which is a 94 honda xr250l. Some things I have done to it: bored the cylinder out to 280cc, wiseco forged aluminum piston, race cam, oil cooler, uni filter, cobra exhaust, ported the head and header welds, colder plug, plug wire resister delete, moose clutch springs, renthal chain and sprockets, dunlop d606 tires, ims 4 gallon tank, custom seat cover, acerbis plastic, bar risers, renthal aluminum bars, moose levergaurds, grip heaters, renthal grips, adjust on the fly clutch lever, wider foot pegs, swapped the battery for a capacitor to save weight, and probably a bunch of other stuff I am forgetting. My car is an extremely rare awd turbo 5spd 1987.5 subaru xt. Things I have done to it: added a ford top mount intercooler, high flow filter, straight pipe exhaust, replaced the pulley driven fan for electric, blaster coil, brembo disc brakes, kyb struts, 2" lift, 15" chrome nissan truck wheels, 28" general grabber mud tires, and many other non performance related parts like axles, radiator, starter, clutch, battery, and other boring stuff. So pretty much I like to offroad my car and bike. The subaru does better offroad than most toyota 4x4s and jeeps due to the fully independant front and rear suspension and subaru's awesome 4wd. But usually I like to take the bike out when I don't plan on taking anyone else with me wherever I'm going. Oh, and I do ride year round, hence the grip heaters.
Stanley Peckman 02.03.2012	Bike defy gravity. Cars just suck. Club racing was probably the best thing I ever did in my life, really really miss the buzz.
Marva Cupid 02.03.2012	I just dislike the idea and concept of Harleys and choppers, although I do respect the flat track bikes that run Harley motors. But superbikes is the way to go for me, personally I have ridden a Harley and didn't like it. Right now I have a super moto setup and a Honda rs125
Dorie Scelzo 01.03.2012	Originally Posted by photojojo I completely understand about that. You could also look for an older 80's bike that would have a little less power but still be a bigger bike. Your ROI won't be as good with that I believe though and you could potentially have to dump some money into it. Yeah
Loreta Altema 02.03.2012	Originally Posted by photojojo Why does that not surprise me Haha, well I believe this discussion has come up. Plus I'd be lying to say if there wasn't a little redneck satisfaction that goes with fast and loud cars/trucks.. It all comes down to flavor though. Digital vs Vinyl on the street, haha. Whatever makes you happy do it. Just make sure it's FUN!
Leeanna Ayla 02.03.2012	Originally Posted by Chelan I've seen Harley's do all those things in the videos that you posted except for the cop on the HD police cruiser. Wow, that impressed the hell out of me! I had no idea you could turn and control a bike that big like he did. Google police motorcycle competition. I'm sure you'll find one close to you to go watch. Originally Posted by mostapha The annoying part is knowing that I won't be happy with it
Dorie Scelzo 02.03.2012	Originally Posted by photojojo You can pick up a Ninja 250 in the $2000 pretty easy. Keep it for six months learning to ride on the street then sell it for nearly what you paid for it. Learning throttle and clutch control on a bigger bike is harder to do when you're already nervous. Yeah, that's what I was believeing. Most of my rider friends recommended about the same thing
Chuck Peretto 02.03.2012	Originally Posted by photojojo Are you serious? you're not old enough to ride on the street yet you've already decided that a whole segment of motorcycle isn't a real bike even though it's more closely related to original motorcycles? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJxOsYh12yY I was believeing the same thing after I read mr.drummer.boy.'s response. However, he is young so he'll learn. Just sayin - I wasn't always an HD fan but have learned to appreciate them a lot more through the years even though I've never ridden one yet.

Leeanna Ayla 01.03.2012	Originally Posted by mostapha Biggest question is whether I need to start on a 200-300 cc starter bike or if I'll have self control to jump onto what I really want (ideally ~600-750 CC naked bike, preferring Monsters and Thruxtons). I want to get the better one as soon as I can afford it, but I'd also rather not die You can pick up a Ninja 250 in the $2000 pretty easy.

Dorie Scelzo 01.03.2012	Originally Posted by oliosky In general, most guys who ride road bikes (bicycles) have next to no actual bike handling skills, its just V02 max comparisons and trying to beat each other up hills. Its pretty bad, but not as bad a triathletes, thats another level of terrible rider... You can make up a lot of time on a road bike on a technical descent, its odd that most roadies don't focus more on going down a hill quickly. Agreed. I was taught to ride by a mountain biker. I've ridden a lot more road than mountain, but mountain's almost more fun even though it's slower. Something about seeing a 6-food vertical ascent and not being worried
Leeanna Ayla 01.03.2012	Originally Posted by mostapha I haven't had the money for a motorcycle yet, but it's one of my life ambitions. I'm going to do a rider training school this summer and start saving for a bike. Biggest question is whether I need to start on a 200-300 cc starter bike or if I'll have self control to jump onto what I really want (ideally ~600-750 CC naked bike, preferring Monsters and Thruxtons). I want to get the better one as soon as I can afford it, but I'd also rather not die. Definitely take the course. I'm asked at least every couple of months to be an instructor for the MSF, but that would take up one of my two free weekends a month and it's a week long school to get trained so I've always said no. The money's pretty good though so I probably will eventually.

I actually am not old enough to ride on the road yet, sadly but I race road bikes around a track. Does anyone else race ??

Living in Texas and trying to drive around doing any kind of series enough to be competitive in points was just way to expensive.

Loreta Altema 01.03.2012	Cars for sure... Something about making over 2,000lbs look sky high that just gets me all warm and fuzzy. I had a GSXR600, it was balls quick, but the rush just wasnt the same as it was in the car.. Object moved
