Mine is an '04 that I have put 110,000 miles on, just put first set of tires on (12 ply, they last a long time). Outside of that an 10K oil changes, thats' it as far as service.Motor is just getting broken in.

Ive already said this twice now. I know cages cant see us. but if you watch the damn vid you would realize yall are just being to critical cause that truck wasnt going to bother us at all. And i dont really care if yall believe me or not and im sure yall think that it was a gauntlet or something which is obserd.

our point is YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A CAGE IS GOING TO DO... so why do anything around them that's going to take your attention awayfrom riding and keeping an eye on them.

I'd say 70% of the cars you'll pass will go on harmlessly and not make a stupid move around you... the other 30% will try to kill you. and since you can't tell the 30% from the 70%... treat it as 0% will pass you harmlessly and 100% will try to kill you. LET THEM PROVE YOU WRONG... at least if they do... your still alive.

So, if you think that ANYBODY sees you on a bike, well, it's just a matter of time.....................
Man you're right! I worked for U-Haul when I was in school and we had to tranfer trucks across town. Some dumb bitch literally changed lanes into me while I was driving a 24' orange and white truck! Not to mention the several close calls.... people are stupid! Now on the other hand,I've done more than my fair share of highway wheelies,hell me and my friends sold two videos full of them,and I've never had a vehicle turn into me nor have I personally seen it happen. Ofcourse,we always worked the fast lane and tried to only do it without any traffic... I guess I'm on the fence with this one. I think it's a "calculated risk" but to think it's "safe" is foolish!
