Video: New Intro | Poor Bird | Speed Run on Sprint ST | Naughty Hat!

[_MaXiPaD_]

I just posted a new video on my channel. Features all of my "running" bikes, including my 2015 RPS Hawk 250 and 2016 Boom Vader 125cc.

Loved the video! Nice to see the Vader is holding up to the abuse. How is the Hawk holding up? You know you want a Magician...

Yeah, the Vader seems to be fine. When Kevin wrecked it, the handlebar holder just fell out of alignment (the rubber grommet and washer underneath shifted out of place) so that was an easy 2-minute fix. However, in this video, if you watch some of the Vader clips, you'll see that my instrument cluster now fogs up from the inside. It didn't normally do that, so I'm guessing it must have taken some impact from the wreck.

The Hawk is holding up wonderfully! It seems like every time I hop on the bike, it runs better and better (e.g. smoother gear changes, easier to find neutral, engine "feels" like it's running better, etc.).

And yes, the Magician sure does look like a lot of fun! If those were available back when I purchased my Hawk, I would've had to contemplate the decision between the two for a long while!

No wheelies with the Triumph?!

Ha! Not in this video! I've just recently started "practicing" wheelies (past 3-5 weeks), even though I've been riding street bikes for 7 years. So, I'm holding off on "practicing" wheelies on the Triumph until I feel more comfortable (baby steps ).

Trust me though, I've done 'em unintentionally on the Triumph (dat torque tho)!
