    The bounce of the bike a high speed is probably due to the wheels not being perfectly rounded since they removed part of the rubber. But I noticed that at the end of the video only the front tire was bouncing, meaning that the burnouts that they did with the rear tired rounded it, swapping the wheels and then doing a burnout to even it out will probably fix it for good

I'd been feeling really bummed and just out of it today but this video showcases all of what life is about in a beautiful dumb amalgam of humanity. Crunching together a completely impractical motorcycle with 40in tires just to do it, getting together with some friends and just having a good time. Reminds me of what to look forward to and what really matters in life. Cheers everyone

      I was thinking the same. It would be interesting first to see how concentric the OD of the tire is with the axle. That's a lot of tire and even if it is out a 1/4" it would be a significant amount of weight. True it up and then dump the beads in. If he brings the tire into balance as close as possible first it will only make it easier for the beads to work well and he would need less of them which should make it more stable over bumps.

    On God, a GHPC and CBoys is the ultimate RUclips match up. I didn't even realize how bad I wanted it, until I saw Evan driving the Monster Chopper. STURGIS BRINGS THE BEST OF EVERYONE, and I am 110% here for it! Let the content creation ROLL!

    My great grandpa used to go to sturgis every year with a monster sized group of bikers. The photos were awesome. I want to do that with some of my friends. Granted we don’t have any bikes to take. But a small fortune (or narrowing my grandpa’s bike) later, and great memories.

    Some of that burn out activity reminded me of a visit to Le Manns 24 Hour Superbike meet. During the night it was basically people getting very drunk rather than watching the racing, and I remember a group who had a small Honda that they red lined and stood around cheering until it blew. It lasted longer than they expected I think, and my buddy and I gave up anyway. I got chased by a pair of motorcycle Gendarmes on the way home (I lived in the UK back then), and managed to lose them. As much by being one of a zillion other bikes going the same way, as out running them, but I never saw them after going for it.

      @TrevorDennis100 2 месяца назад

      Huge respect for how Ethan handled the chopper in the Barrel Race. To have all that weight leaned over so far at such a low speed, and perfectly holding it balanced with the throttle, was a masdropped intoterclass in machine control. We'd already seen how difficult it was when the two Harley riders dropped into the turn. Ethan is The Man! 😎

    there's other cooling issues. those ktm v twins trap air in the top of the cylinders even with the stock radiator height you need to use the air bleed screws and tip it up to like 20 degrees in the manual. and on yours the radiator is even lower.
