fendereliminator Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Howdy! I'm from Chilliwack B.C, Canada. I got my brand new 2016 Fz 07 at the beginning of July and have not stopped putting kilometers on it. I'm definitely in love. But we had had a bit of a spat last week... I looped it... dummy. So now I am in the midst of repairing my brand new Fz 07 haha. My buddy I ride with all the time is part of the Fz 09 forum and he says those guys are nothing but help, so I may as well join this community and see what kind of advice I can steal. Cheers all, at least one rubber down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddog Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Yeah, I agree. There is a crazy amount of info on here, in addition to a number of extremely knowledgeable and helpful people. Welcome fendereliminator! Did you loop it doing something like this perhaps? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Welcome and congrats! Loop it??? In over 40 years I've never heard that term used for a motorcycle. Do you mean you flipped it? Careful out there! Oh, pics or it (the purchase) didn't happen. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I see on you tube where people are calling that "looping" but it's still a dumb term since the bike only does a 180. I'll get out of the worlds way now.

On my snowboard I never quite mastered 360s or 180s for that matter, but I got really good at 90s. Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[video src=https://youtu.be/9_uht-cKM7c] I love Trials, especially the video games (Trials HD, Trials Evolution, and Trials Fusion). Actually won myself a trip to France to compete in the World Championship for the video games. Sadly, I couldn't go because I couldn't get a passport in time even if I expedited it. But I have so many world records in the video games it's hard to keep track of (130+ at my last quick count), so I didn't need to compete in the Championship.

I kid, I believe you. That's just awesome to be that good at a video game. I've been playing 1st person shooters for 20+ yrs. and I haven't achieved so much as a kick in the ass for my efforts. (sniff) I wasn't even aware of any trials video games to be honest so now I'll have to 'you tube' to watch some. Do you have a particular name you go by in the games? Maybe I'll run across a vid of you rock hopping your way to a trophy. Better yet, do you know of any that are on you tube with you in them? Would be cool to watch!

Me and the guys I grew up with as a kid were using "loop it" back in the early 70's in rural PA. Where were you back then, and how did you miss that one?

Where were you back then, and how did you miss that one? Where was I? How did I miss that one? Ever heard of DILLIGAF? Me and the boys in the Army used to say that one a lot back in the 80's but most people don't know about it. I guess neither spread or caught on everywhere. It's no one's fault and nothing for anyone to get their feathers up in the air about. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
