i actually just deleted my post but u beat me 2 the punch with a response. no disrespect to rick he has an imense amount of talent and has been in the game for along time like me. but this post makes no sence we are in sportbike FREESTYLE which means you use or do whatever you want.

 

well if you were a little quicker than jeesh,,,i think you need to apply for your AARP card

j/k

 

Rick.....Join us and together we'll rule the dark side.
You can't resist the force. Fear leads to anger....anger leads to hate...hate leads to the dark side.

 

you have all 6 episodes of star wars dont you...

 

yes, Yoda!

 

I THINK WE SHOULD BAN STREETFIGHTERZ

 

lol...it's funny you say that. I happen to have all 6 at my house right now! :YEAH

PawPaw

 

People say DB bars are cheating...may be...never ridden one..but i can tell u that a 65 tooth sprocket and a stocker sprocket are two diff bikes..if ur gonna start ****in up the sport by makin classes and **** what u can and cant do to ur bike, ur just ****in the flow up. if you wanna do that just bring a few stock 600s and tell every one they have to rock their tricks on them. see who the best "stunter" is. as far as talent. Its not like drag racing where they limit power adders and **** cuz of people who cant afford alchohol injected twin turbo nitrous rail cars. i mean ****...a 70 dollar set of DB bars and a 150 for a handbrake. I say either get it and ride with it or dont and let that be your "IN YOUR FACE" thing. But **** leave the sport alone.

 

you were inline at the first premier in the 70's werent ya........DONT LIE

j/k

 

Rick, what's your address? I'm sending a set of renthals.

...And no Ryan, I only own the Trilogy.

 

lol

 

I am a little late on this post since the thread has already been high jacked by retired old Star Wars fans....but I don't think there is an advantage in distance......there is a definate advantage in steering (ie wide 180's) but not so much in distance.....

 

The Original or the Special Edition.
I'm not sure if the original version is available on dvd

 

Bikes don't come with cages, bars, stainless lines, smashed tanks, handbrakes or a host of other things that provide a competitive edge. I personally think circles are much easier with clipons than DB bars. Burnouts are easier with clipons, that's for sure. Bars are a preference, not necessarily an unfair advantage in my opinion. There are pro's and con's to each. For stoppies they will most likely improve your distance. In many cases, definitely improve your distance. And what Joe said, it's a mathematical given that they will give you more leverage and make 180's and control much easier.

 

This is one of the best threads ever.

I'll just leave it at I see both sides and everyone is right.

p.s. I hate Star Wars

 

DB bars or Clipons. Anyone can learn how to rock either or, or both. I ran db bars and my stoppies got ALOT better. But i went back to clipons because they have less of a rise from the forks. We alter our bikes to make it easier to do what we want to do but the main point of the game is to have fun.

 

+1

 

dont get me wrong i respect rick nasty but style and preference is a individual thing..............just go with what you know it all evens out in the end

 

How can somebody who can text message one handed with his phone still in his pocket not like star wars?

Yeah, I keep getting up and coming back to see the posts. Great thread. Keep the opinions coming.

 

I just could never get into it.. I dunno.


Man, this thread is making me want to do some long stoppies. Its been a LOOONG time. I tried to get the 929 running to do some in the neighboorhood but that was a no go. Thing is deader 'n dead
