Stories of Bike EP1: Tunnels (A Honda GB250 Story)

แชร์
ฝัง
  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ค. 2013
  • The first of a series of episodes about custom motorcycle and owner.
    A much overlooked option for customisation in Australia, the Honda GB250 is known for its reliability and relative quick speed for a 250cc engine. Bruno, found the GB250 to be something a little left of field when looking for his bike of choice. In the last year he has made the bike his own, with some cost effective mods that still result in making his a unique and distinct cafe racer.
    As for Bruno's choice of armour? (That is, not much). It's his choice. Let it be.

    It’s crazy to look back now, but watching these videos when I was deployed in the Middle East got me so excited to come home and buy a cafe racer! Such great videos well done 👍

      @@storiesofbike thanks! Indeed I did, unfortunately I grew a passion for old triumph bikes though so the one I bought never worked for long 😂 hence I ended up on a kinda modern classic version! And now I own a social moto garage in Brisbane so I can work on all the cafe racers I like! 😅

    Fuck the haters!!! It's your bike and your life and you look like your enjoying both of them. Having lived in Sydney for over 10 years I've blasted through those tunnels myself many times. Have fun, ride safe and look after that cool bike of yours.

    Being a hipster is a subculture. All of us have roots in some subculture or another, no matter what we like or where we're from. Even the people who think that they don't belong to subcultures have a subculture of their own. Those are hipsters.

    Hey from Brissy guys! Love what you did with this series of vids. You've really captured the essence of what it is to be a custom/vintage motorcycle junkie, and I love that it's come from Australia! (as we have relatively small cafe scene compared to the rest of the world). If I may, I have a quick question for you though.. is this tunnel in the video the Clem7 in Brissy? Cheers :)

    He loves the concept of YOLO so much that he has it on his custom numberplate.
    For the price of keeping that numberplate ($200 annually) for a few years you could easily afford ALL THE GEAR so that when some soccer mum knocks you off your bike, you can stand a better chance of being able to walk away from it and, you know, _continue living_.
    But apparently it's okay, COZ YOLO :{

      Casey Woodruff Yeah, it's kinda redundant.

      David Morisset I should clarify; I ride and I am ATGATT. That being said, it must be understood that getting a motorcycle endorsement automatically shortens your life expectancy, that was my only point. Of course, a moronic driver may be at higher risk than a motorcycle rider, such as myself, one must understand that it takes time and practice to control a bike and the real cold truth is...you might make a mistake...and die...in that learning period. Usually, though, you'll just fall and, hopefully, ride again.

    Love the video and the story around it but you should never drive without gear, I drive all year round in every weather and never go out without my gear, even in the heat of the summer, when it's very tempting ! It's too dangerous. That said, love the video and all the series you guys have done, keep doing that and ride safe.

    Hey Trumpet, the GB250 isn't a huge bike and Bruno is about 6'2" and as he's mostly cruising long straight roads, he sits with his arms straight. When I sat on the bike it felt natural to do the same.

  • @jamesony
    @jamesony 10 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    we all do it... but riding without good gear is the stupidest thing you can do. You only have one body - respect it. one fall can send you to heaven or hospital hell. A friend of mine slid under a truck at 25km/h and broke his back - thankfully he is good now. but take my advice and wear good gear.

      bad ass second hand vintage leather jacket on ebay for $70 and a pair of good jeans from a good shop for $50 and some work boots for 30-50. thats all you need. not to mention people you know who own bikes almost surely have spare gear ;) all of my mates do.

    Riding position is all wrong (you want to be up front some more, where the center of gravity is, also helps with traction under braking and cornering). Clip-ons but no rearsets? Now that's an interesting combo. And don't get me started on those Firestone rubber lol. Nice try at being different and cool though.
