who would have guessed Fabio is a bike hoarder?  that's a crazy amount of bikes.  surely he doesn't ride all of those.  it would take hours just to get some of them out of the storage room.  

That Fabio clip was great.  Bike hoarder is the word.  Looking at the dirtbikes, they look like they were used some.  Thats cool.  I'll bet his friends love to visit him.  I would expect Fabio to have all those bikes stored in some huge, eat off the floor like, garage.  Not crammed in dusty garages and plastic tents.  
+1 for Fabio [thumbsup]

I would hang out with  the guy just to ride his dirt bikes. I bet you if you offered to ride his bikes to keep them from going bad he would pay you! There was a dude that used to pay a guy to drive some his cars atleast once a week :)

eric dane looks like me at a stop light....cursing the bike to not stall, please do not stall...their are cars behind me, please dear italian gods of two wheels and expensive taste.   still for some reason, i can't get this 100% of the time.  gotta be above 2000RPMs to not stall...why this is, just makes things difficult.  to me, the bike should start going enough to not stall without any throttle at all...especially at $10,000! 

wonder what would happen if i used the "choke" lever to up the RPMs at a stop light(would be a pain) but maybe i wouldn't have to worry about using throttle?  just a newbie thought....hahaha

go ahead, let me have it!!! 

I run the 15t sprocket, had the 14t, switched back due to highspeed rpm... but either one will stall... if you don't twist the throttle

Michael Jordan on a track day







Yeah MJ is an awesome rider. There is track footage of him somewhere from some TV show I recall from years ago...

Here's someone who is quite obviously a rider, but hadn't been posted... Ewan McGregor



It seems like the "Long Way Round" and "L W Down" cop lots of flack, but I really enjoyed watching both of them. I can see why hardcore adventurer riders might see it as very cushy having a support fleet and everything else, but it has definitely inspired me to go on my own adventure ride sometime.

And, with a hundred or so street bikes alone, I would love to see what Fabio pays for registration and insurance every year :o Maybe he gets a special rate  [roll]

Thanks for posting the Jordan video.  Isn't it what you would expect from Jordan.  Push it hard and tough.  I'd like to see him support an American Ducati or MV Team.  After how Suzuki treated him, he owes them nothing.

That is the 2 seater Desmo, see the handle on the tank. He just got taken for a ride.

if you watch the video, it shows him riding that bike. around 53 secs into it.

they prob just let him ride that one just in case he crashed it.

and i never knew that jordan was that into bikes either... makes him even cooler  [thumbsup]
