I have three bikes all for beating. If I had a PIMP bike it would probably end up getting beaten anyway. If the other bike broke down you would probably beat the PIMP bike. Stunting gets mad addicting and if the only way you could practice or go stunt was to use the PIMP bike, you know the rest

anyone done this?
tell DMV you lost your license plate and get a second plate and put it on your stunt bike... so you can get pulled over on your stuntbike and not have to get carry separate insurance/tax/tags for it. On a routine traffic stop, the cop couldn't tell a honda from a suzuki

I'm with EDOG OUTERMOST on this. I've always thought that bikes are tools for beating. I can't be bothered with polishing and cleaning a bike all the time. I'll change the oil and lube the chain once in a while but the rest of the time I'm beating that piece.

i tried the two plate theory it only works if you have a vanity plate, otherwise they reissue you a new plate with new numbers, i got a 900 for pimpin as well as one for stuntin , but i must say the pimp ride is getting mighty dusty, back tires flat too, i pushed it off to the side of the garage in june and its been there scince, i get pulled over all the time on the beater, and they just read the plate they nevr check vins, so i never even registerd it, just swap the plate,

Two bikes is the way to go, four or five is even better, but the missus might get a bit cheesed about that.

ive got 4 bikes. they are all **** boxes now. You try the nice bike route. Go out cruising. and i can't keep the front wheel down. then i drag the tail. and my miinty plastic & tail light is all over main street. Then i kick it over. now its scratches.

Moral of the story is. the more bikes you have, the more stuntbikes you have!

I am far from rich but I buy and sell bikes, this is how I pay for my hobbies. I am hoping to be up to 10 by Christmas.

I have two. One that I race (o1 cbr f4i) and one that I keep pretty (01 gsxr 1000, carbon fiber wheels , bos undertail exhaust) which is my current stunt bike. Now that race season is over out here in Colorado I am going to turn my f4i into a stunt only bike. I just need to get some big gears and a cage. I am going to ride a stand up circle wheelie by Christmas. Mark my words.
