Arent those blasts?
Hell yeah... my BIL's little POS had a hole in the side case cover of the motor, I think it didn't even have any oil in it anymore. Many of them had drum brakes. Some clutches didn't work for shit. My problem is that you are holding a student at fault when really the bike is a POS. Then you fail a student when the clutch don't work for shit or the brakes are - nothing/nothing/nothing/lock up.

Like the pile of poop we were on, brakes sucked for the wife, she valted off her's later this day.


I took the class as well just for moral support, but as an expierenced rider with nearly 50k under my belt at this time, I could operate it with no issue, working past the bike's faults.

They were POS for sure... all of them idled at different speeds... seemed to stall frequently (without fucking up the clutch) and maybe one of them really sounded 'right'...



No, some guy and some chick... Irish lady... She was pretty funny... told everyone a story about being run over by a girl, then passing her for the actual test.



All Blasts... perhaps Blasteds would be more appropriate.
Usually those Blasts are in good condition, but then again it's usually Rider's Edge.
