My gift to you rideit. The amazing manual from the best riding school in Calgary. A great refresher for veterans and an awesome guide for newbies.

YYYYYES!!!

I lost mine years ago from Too Cool, and I was too shy to go back and ask for another.

TCMS was awesome.

This manual is great, thank you so much for posting it up.

Hahaha... Next time I make a video for YOU, I'll turn the camera around. Promise! Good call though, it could use more forward-facing footage.

They had 40" in the last week... I was there for the first 12"! Sadly, had to go home and work.

Snowboarding, you make me happy.

The video looks best in "original quality" (if you've got a speedy connection!)

Samesies.

Yep, what StumpyHamilton said.

I've had experience with this too. My bike got hit in a parking lot, and on the ride home, I also thought my forks were bent.

Get the bike up on stands, weight off the forks. Loosen the triple clamps, give everything a good wiggle, and tighten it back up. Worked for me! Straight and true.

Thx for the comment! Reddit motorcycles is the best.

You really are mean-as-fuck! All the bikes and the Element are in fine shape. Thanks!

Isn't that why we motorcyclists get along so well? We're all "unsafe and stupid" according to most people, right?

I know... it's not the safest solution, and it bugs me a bit. I wish I had a truck to throw bikes in, but as of right now, it's the best I can do! There's always the thought in the back of my mind, "what happens if the bike gets loose back there?" A bad accident would be very bad indeed.

I got that wheel from Princess Auto. Just type in "wheel assembly" in the search bar of their website. You'll find what you need!

Here's how I loaded the DR-Z. Front wheel had to change for transport!

Exactly!

Pretty simple really. Single folding ramp, load it up in there backwards. A second man makes it a LOT easier.

Yep! Sportbikes require 2 men due to their weight/dimensions. When I loaded the DR-Z, I was by myself, and it wasn't bad at all. The super low tailgate on the Element helps too.

Yep! Helped to clear the tail fairing. I could've taken it off, but I went for the lazy solution instead.

The WR will fit too, but you have to put a funny tiny wheel on the front axle to drop the front end enough. I posted pics of my DR-Z inside here:

Here's a couple more of my DR-Z inside too. Had to um... modify the front wheel a bit :) !!!

Pbeaul! Nice to see you on r/motorcycles!

It's not the prettiest vehicle around, but boy is it useful! I use my Element to haul my CBR's and my DR-Z. ("Get a trailer!" I know!)

Is that really V.Rossi? It would make sense... MotoGP season starts in Qatar (the car has an Abu Dhabi decal on it).

I could see Ferrari inviting a Ducati pilot for a test drive. Lucky son of a gun...

Those headlights remind me of a jack-o-lantern. Or the Green Goblin.

Either way, not saying I dislike it at all! I think it looks good and snarly!

*Edit: I'm a sucker for projector-beam headlights too.

Tristan Lentink was hit. He was in very very bad shape in a hospital for a long time. But yes, he survived.

No idea if he's still racing.
