Who is the tallest Lightning rider?

[Midnight82]

I'm 14 feet tall when I ride with my stilts

 

[Paniller]

Do you have feet on the stilts to shift? Some kind of pull string system?

 

[dave_xb12r]

He has a trained monkey that hangs on to the bottom of the stilt leg. "SECOND GEAR! NO I SAID SECOND, NOT NEUTRAL!!"

6'7 on my stock XB12R Firebolt.

You look effing huge on that thing lol I am short at 5'10" 145lbs and fit my XB9S perfect I think. When I see pics of myself on the bike I even think I look huge on it cause it's so small.

The guy I bought my bike from tho was 6'6" and he rode it in stock form comfortably he said. I personally didn't like the stock bars cause the wind felt like it was going to fling me off the bike. The bike now has crossroad bars and it completely changed the bike for me. My dad rides the bike some and he loves them more than me I think!

I rode to Jacksonville, FL in a day from St. Louis, MO with stock bars and its was ok but my legs kept cramping up by my ass lol. That was a 988 mile day for me! This past year I rode it to Boulder, CO from Columbia, MO and it was with the crossroad bars and it was much better. Upper body was not nearly as tired and my ass didn't cramp as much. That ride was about 775 miles in a day.

Trained monkeys? No, I have mind control over my bike. It's like Jesse Ventura's "Conspiracy Theory" show. I just think it, and my bike's like "Holy crap, I need to shift at right now o'clock"

 

[dave_xb12r]

Is the mind control add on similar to xopti's wireless ECMspy? Just a bluetooth dongle or something? Any training requirements ? What happens when you ride under power lines, uncontrolled wheelies?

 

[Midnight82]

Dave, I'm really glad you're asking these questions. It really shows your insight as well as your openness to new technologies.

It wouldn't be similar to Xopti's wireless ECMSpy, because there isn't any remote or anything implanted in my mind.

How I went about getting mind control was just like a pitcher warming up his arm before a big baseball game. You need to work your muscle (Brain) and strengthen it with nutrients (a well balanced meal of food and drink) as well as a very intense mental training plan. I stuck to doing Sudoku on level Medium on my cell phone.

After about a week I realized a had a gift. I was able to turn my TV on and off with my mind. After a few weeks of that I started with bigger projects like BIG tvs and turning ceiling fans on.

After a year, I started working on mechanical things, and away from electrical devices. (My brain was getting staticy).

Once I was able to use a manual can open with my brain I started shifting gears on my bike. I can also control the rear brake by my noggin.

If you want my in depth training guide I can send it by way of Courier Pigeon

im only 6'and 165lbs and sometimes i think my legs are a little cramped. but it does make burnouts real easy.

6'7"???...your knees must be touching the sides of the frame pucks

 

[agfish18]

I'm 6'5, fit just fine on my 1125R, and my old XB9... used to have blast about 6 or 7 years ago... was about 6'3-4 then.

 

[okey]

ramjr55 its lucky your legs bend ohhh and im not kinda sure if you know but ummmmm someone has stolen your cigar.

 

[93fee]

I'm 6'7 but I ride xb12 STT which is a perfect fit for me!
I used to ride xb9s for awhile, it was quiet funny, looking like a guy on LOUD scooter )))
The main reason I changed 9 for 12 for two reasons:
longer frame first of all, higher seat on stt.

Haha... I dont know what he was thinking...trying to smoke a cigar with his helmet on...silly guy.

 

[ramjr55]

The thing you learn is at 6'7 not much is going fit you comfortably. Next to getting something custom built I tend to just go with what I like. I'd own a Prius if I wanted or even a scooter if it was cool enough. I just fell in love with the bolt its all I ever wanted even now I can't think of a second bike to get. My wife wants to ride with me and I'm thinking just to get her a bolt too.
