Fuck It I’m Not Done

Biker headcanons for the AC Women that torment my brain

@kassandras-one-braincell you’ve broken me with this tbh I'm in shambles (affectionate) OG post here also NSFW warning this is a no minors post (or at the very least stop at the warning gdi)

Soma is sophisticated and expensive. Not gonna say too much here since I went into more detail previously but~ Imagine vintage restored bikes that are shiny and perfect all lined up in a pristine garage space with polished tool boxes that are filled with all her necessities to work on them and keep them gleaming. Professionally photographed, framed posters of you posed with her bikes adorn the walls of the space. She even picked lingerie to match each bike!

She only really rides one or two of her collection regularly, the majority are mostly for show. I imagine she’d have a cruiser with a good passenger seat on the back so she can take you on long scenic rides to beautiful locations, and you can bet your ass she’d have it shipped overseas on your vacations so she can take you all over the world on it. Soma is all class and polish, so her riding gear would definitely reflect that. High quality leather and helmets with coms will keep the two of you safe, comfortable and connected on your rides. She would probably have matching riding suits custom made for the two of you. I could just see her doing that.

Kassandra as the cocky performance rider. She’d have pick up lines for days, all the innuendo about taking you for a ride and how she knows how to handle curves. She’d chat you up good, and land a date for that same weekend.

She’d show up with an extra helmet and jacket for you, and she’d make sure it was all properly adjusted. In the og post about this concept, it says that you kiss her right when the helmets come off. I agree, and I’d say that you want to kiss her the moment she slides the helmet onto you and starts doing up the chin straps. For anyone who’s never worn a motorcycle helmet, they don’t have a clip like one for a bicycle would, it’s a strap that gets looped through two d-rings, and it’s kinda tricky at first. So, imagine: gazing up at her while she’s looking all intently at you with those gorgeous dark eyes, her fingertips working the thin strap quickly and efficiently on muscle memory. When she’s done she puts her hands on either side of it to check that it’s snug on your head and looks into your eyes for a moment longer than necessary. It’s electric.

When you arrive and she takes hers off, you’re still kind of fumbling with the unfamiliar clasp. She notices and hooks a finger through the loop, giving it a quick tug to undo it and free you of the helmet, whole time she's got that sexy little smile on her face. She takes it off of you and sets it on the seat behind you, arms reaching around your body to do so. At that moment you’re looking up at her and she’s so close. You can’t stop yourself from leaning in and up on your toes to steal a kiss. She’s a little surprised but doesn’t falter about kissing you back. Her hands rest so naturally on your waist. It’s short and sweet and leaves you both giddy with butterflies.

Your first date with her would be something sweet and romantic like taking you to a fancy park or perhaps a botanical garden. You’d walk around holding hands for hours and she’d be all chuffed that you gave her a kiss upon arrival to the date location. It would make her feel so confident and bold, wrapping her arms around you and allowing the affection to flow naturally. I think she would feel nervous about it being too much too soon but you just lean into it and look at her with stars in your eyes and it shuts that doubt right up. Very much a uhaul lesbian relationship in this case you would just fall so completely for each other and be comfortable together immediately. First date lasting three days kind of love story.

Eivor does motocross competitively and is a big name in the game. She also does trail riding but it’s more for fun so not her focus. She’s definitely the most reckless rider of the bunch but takes protective precautions seriously, bc she knows that she loves to go fast, push limits and pull stunts. However, if anyone else is on the bike with her she’s much more cautious and safe with her driving. She'd def pop some wheelies with you on the back if you were ok with it.

In this au I think she’d have a modest but comfortable house pretty far out of town on a decent chunk of land. She’d have a practice track built in her backyard with a trail looping around the edge and through the woods of her property. She’d do laps every day to stay at the top of her game, and just to enjoy the ride.

Her garage would be well organized but not shiny and fancy like Soma’s. Hers is functional and well used, in a separate building from the main house. Very Dad's Garage vibes in there I think. She’d love working on her own bikes, but I think she’d leave her competition bike’s maintenance to her trusted pro mechanic Gunnar.

Now I mentioned in my last reblog how I imagine they’d all have pics of you on their motorcycles, and that they’d have very different vibes.

Soma and Kassandra would display them like a trophy. Not publicly, but up on the walls of their own spaces. Eivor? She’s possessive. She wouldn’t want to have a photographer ruining the intimacy of your photos no matter who it was.

(here's where it gets nsfw)

Eivor would ride the two of you out to a nice secluded part of her property. A wooded area where she has a picnic table set up. You’d be all wrapped up in her riding jacket and pants, underneath them would be a pretty little number she picked for you, something simple and sexy like a matching bra and panty set with some lace. (I think Eivor is a bit too simple minded to prefer elaborate lingerie. Just show her something hot that she knows how to remove without finding a thousand clasps please and thank you)

She’d prop the bike up on its stand and use a Polaroid camera to take the pictures. The first ones you’re in the matching set with her jacket and your boots still on, straddling the bike with your hands on the bars as if you’re driving. She gets multiple angles, from the side so she can appreciate your legs, from the front so she can admire your breasts peeking out from the opening of her jacket.

The whole time she’d praise you saying “that’s a good girl, posing so pretty for me, now lean back let me see you- ah just like that, gods you’re perfect” she’s such a sexy photographer. By the time she’s done you’re about ready to hump the seat til you cum and she’s so horny she’s breathing manually. She knew that would happen, of course, and wore a strap under her jeans for the occasion.

After your photo shoot, she takes the dildo out of her harness and slides it back inside you, then helps you put her clothes back on over your underwear. She has you ride back with her to the house while you’re stuffed full like that. Every bump and jolt makes you whimper and dig your fingers into her. It’s not a long ride but you’re ready to rip every shred of her clothes off by the time you’re back

The pictures are kept in a cabinet by her work bench, there’s a few on the inside of the door held up with magnets, mostly the first few from the session, where you’re still partially clothed and gazing at the camera with your pretty, sultry eyes. The rest are tucked away in a small black photo album for her eyes only, the last few depict you laid back on the seat, bra gone, one of her strong hands cupping your breast. You’re holding your panties to the side, wet cunt stuffed full of her strap, your kissed bruised lips are parted in a moan. She keeps that one very secret, and takes it with her whenever she has to travel without you.

anyway now that you know I'm a total whore for this concept

This is my first time posting a full on hc set like this lemme know what you think and read the og post if you haven't yet! It sent me spiraling into madness <3

#eivor x reader #kassandra of sparta x reader #soma x reader #ac headcannons #biker au #I don't write much be nice pls #this is meant to be written in a very casual tone and style #im trying really hard to not be a horrendous perfectionist

so in assen 2004 comms talk about how valentino helped melandri with riding yamaha A Lot, and how they are two great friends. and indeed those two have known each other since childhood/or at least their teens right? (seen a lot of their photos w matching terrible dye jobs) but then fast forward to 2010 and melandri is going full conspiracy theorist about the freaking chair affghhhkgjk. like what happened here? is it any interesting or is it like mostly one sided bitterness from melandri or something. like that can’t really be about 2005 season for vale bc come on melandri wasn’t his main rival that year.

even if it’s not interesting feud or drama wise it is another friendship that vale had (and unlike w sete vale&melandri go way back) that eventually fell apart as a result of competing in motogp…….hm

yeah, we don't actually have a great sense of what happened there! it's funny the coldness seems to have crept in during the 2005 season specifically, because I'm very much with you here on the 'come on valentino why bother' stance - melandri was aggressively not a proper title contender that season and really not even the main on-track rival... but actually I do think this fits in rather nicely within my sete thesis, which we'll get to. the subsequent public bitterness has been entirely one-sided, with melandri occasionally saying something kinda mean-spirited about valentino in recent years and valentino... not doing any of that

anyhow, they definitely WERE close, which was hammered home not just through repeated mentions by the commentators but also when you read the columns he was dictating every race for mat oxley in his early years. here, from his 250cc days:

mugello 1998

I wasn’t so confident before Mugello because while I was at home I played football and lost, I played tennis and lost, I rode motocross and lost. The only thing I won was minicars – I am the champion! We got beaten in a five-a-side soccer match, six-one, then a friend beat me at tennis, six-one, then Marco [Melandri] beat me at motocross. I’m always fighting with Marco on motocross but he’s faster than me. I’m getting better though – at the start of the year he’d beat me by five or six seconds, now it’s only one or two. I have much fear when I ride motocross because I’m not good at flying. We don’t go crazy; it would be stupid to get hurt doing that. Motocross is great for my muscle power though. I don’t go the gym much in the summer because I want to be outside, so motocross is perfect.

paul ricard 1998

As usual, my break between Mugello and France was full of battles with my friends! First we played football and my team won on penalties. I scored the winner. I never make a mistake from the penalty spot. Next day I did motocross with Melandri and he beat me, as usual, but we had some very funny races. Then I raced with Melandri again, but with electric cars. He’s bought a Honda NSX – it’s fast. Before I left for France we raced minimoto at a track in Rimini. There were about 20 of us: me, Melandri and a load of fast, young Italian riders. We had a lot of really crazy battles. Lots of fun! I don’t think it’s dangerous because the bikes aren’t so fast, maybe 60kp/h. I had some big fights with Melandri, we hit each other all the time – BANG! BANG! BANG! – and we crashed together maybe two or three times.

madrid 1998

I’m doing motocross three times a week now to help build up strength, but Melandri is still faster than me, so I’ve started practising in secret. I get dressed into my motocross gear, then ring him to tell him we don’t need to ride today, then do a few hours riding in secret! Soon I will be faster than him! Anyway, I beat him in minimoto before we went to Jarama.

assen 1998

“Hooray, finally I am first on a 250! It was the day of the teenager at Assen, the Italian teenager! I was so happy when my friend Melandri won the 125 race, so it was fantastic to go out and win the 250. A perfect day, except Marco and me couldn’t party on Saturday night, because I flew home to celebrate with my friends, while he stayed at Assen. I guess we’ll make sure we have a beer together before Donington.

donington 1998

We had our own paddock World Cup at Donington on Thursday, which was really shit, because we played three games and lost three games. I played in the Italian team with Melandri, Boscoscuro, Scalvini, Locatelli, Borsoi and Carpani. First we played the Suzuki 500 team and lost, then we played Team Rainey and lost, and finally we played Dorna, and lost. Dorna were all Spanish and very good. But the games weren’t so much fun because the pitch was tiny and really bumpy. Last year we had the paddock World Cup at Imola on a full-size pitch, and I scored twice. Nice!

sachsenring 1998

Now we have a four-week holiday before Brno, but I’m going to spend most of my time on the beach near my home – it’s sunny and the girls are nice, that’s all I need! But I am going away for one week – a racers’ holiday with Loris Reggiani, Roberto Locatelli and Melandri. We’re going to Tunisia to mess about with jet skis and fast boats. Should be a lot of fun!

sepang 1999

The winter was fun. Usually I don’t like the winter because it’s too cold, but where I live, near the Adriatic coast, there are so many people in the summer. That didn’t used to be a problem, but now everyone recognises me, so it’s Rossi! Rossi! Rossi! all the time. I don’t like it! I spent a lot of time with my friends, as that’s when I’m happiest. We went skiing a few times, a big gang of us. Mad! Snowboarding is more fashionable nowadays but I’m faster on skis, so it’s better! Melandri came with me once, he’s my best mate in the paddock, plus Alessandro Brannetti, a new Italian 125 guy.

mugello 1999

Before Mugello I spent some time at home, riding my 250 road bike and going motocrossing. I have a new motocross bike at home, but I can’t tell you what it is, because it’s not an Aprilia! But it’s a lot of fun on the new motocross track I’ve built behind a friend’s house. I dug the ground myself with a JCB digger we hired. I have designed the track to be safe for me, because modern motocross tracks have near-vertical take-off jumps, which are very dangerous if you don’t have good control in the air. And I don’t! So I’ve built low and fast jumps which I can take in fourth or fifth gear and be safe. Big fun! I’m looking forward to racing my friend Melandri, who hasn’t been doing motocross since he broke his wrist in Malaysia.

sachsenring 1999

Now we have a four-week holiday, hooray! All I really want to do is sleep. During the break last year I went to Tunisia with a bunch of friends like Melandri, but all I want to do now is stay home and rest. My home is near a holiday resort anyway, near the Adriatic Sea, but to be honest I don’t like the sea so much. I prefer snow...”

argentina 1999

I already have some plans for the winter. The World Championship may have finished, but I already have two more races over the next few weeks. No rest yet! First is the X Race at Misano. This is a special event for GP and world Superbike riders. I’m racing go-karts, motocross and cars with [Carl] Fogarty, Melandri, Capirossi, Harada and a lot of other guys. They ran this event for the first time last year and I won it. It’s only fun of course but I want to win again because winning is always important. Then at the end of November I’m doing a car rally at Monza.

so yeah, clearly close buddies! I'm sure there's more out there about their friendship, but I've never been that invested in digging into the details lol. about the collapse of the relationship... well, there's this from the barker biography, which kinda lumps melandri into a generic section about valentino's rivals:

Marco Melandri, who had been a close friend of Rossi's for years before he started winning races in 2005, noted the same shift in attitude: 'When I started to race well with him he changed a lot. When we were growing up we were very good friends. Valentino plays games with everybody... the way he talked to the media - he tries to never say something good about you.'

in 2007, after valentino had finally lost a title fight (and was in the process of losing another), there's another oxley column where a few key figures like his teammate edwards, his rival hayden, and his crew chief jb were asked about what made valentino so good. and valentino's crew chief jb was kind enough to give his own take on the melandri dynamic:

“He only uses mind games when people make a serious challenge, then he pulls out that extra tool in his armoury, which he did with Max, with Sete and to a lesser degree with Marco. Then there’s Loris, who is also serious challenge, but there’s a different understanding between them, there’s a respect. When I first worked with Valentino he was mates with Marco. Whenever there was a dinner or a party, Marco was always there. When Marco came to MotoGP it was still fine, then when there was any sort of a challenge their friendship cooled off a bit."

and then by 2010 you get melandri be like. full yellow chair conspiracy theorist. now, he also mentions how his own celebrations were received, and we do actually have jorge himself give his review of said celebrations a few years earlier (x, x):

I don't really have a point here, I just think it's funny

whereas from valentino's side.... well, there's really not much. his autobiography goes until the end of 2004 and is published in 2005 - so if melandri was already a 'proper' rival when the book was finalised, it will have been a very recent thing... but there's literally one reference to melandri in the whole thing, and it's something generic to do with the yamaha's development. valentino himself has said pretty much fuck all about this friendship falling apart. it's a bit frustrating because... when melandri says that valentino tries never to say anything good about you in the media - look, that's probably referring to something substantive, but we don't really know what exactly valentino supposedly said. we just have to take melandri at his word.... when you go that far back, it's a lot trickier to hunt down specifics if it's not a big news story, if there's not been a major controversy

you do have this from mid 2005:

"No. I think this is not true," replied Rossi, when asked if he deliberately avoided friendships with his closest rivals. "With Melandri, when this year he start to go fast, especially the Italian journalists, try to put some bad things between us - to make fight like what happened between Biaggi and Doohan. "But I go to speak to Melandri after Shanghai, on the podium, because I say one thing and the Italian journalists they modify and say to him another thing - and also the same journalists come to me and make the same. "I know Marco from minibikes when we were friends - we've been friends for more than ten-years - so I try to keep a good relationship because I don't like a bad relationship with anybody," he insisted. "For sure I have had a bad relationship with Biaggi and Gibernau but I don't think that is the right result."

now, according to the article, there were already rumours at the time that the relationship had grown colder that year. which is mainly funny insofar as valentino had quite literally double melandri's points - and the latter still hadn't won a race. again. what's the point

which, well. I do think jb's mention of capirossi is kinda interesting, as another rival valentino had known forever and one who wasn't like. dramatically less likely than melandri to end up a serious challenger to valentino, beyond being a bit older already. jb mentions they have an "understanding", a "respect" between the two of them... it's also maybe worth bringing in what hayden, the man who had actually managed to beat him in 2006, had to say about valentino for the same oxley piece:

“I can’t say it’s just his approach that makes him good. Some guys take their racing real serious, others are really laid back, it’s whatever works for that rider. But regardless of whatever he does he definitely gets around the track fast, that’s what’s most important. “One thing I noticed when we were team-mates is that he looks like it’s fun, fun, fun, he definitely cuts up a lot, but once you’re in the garage that dude is so serious, so focused. Everything seems perfect, right down to the windscreen sticker and the colour of his boots. He doesn’t overlook anything and I think that’s a big part of it. “More than anything it’s the racer in him that makes him so strong, it’s obvious the guy wants to win. He’s got a lot of natural talent but I know a lot of guys with natural talent and it gets some guys in trouble. It’s the whole package that makes him strong: the desire, the focus, the talent. “I think sometimes maybe he’s not as laidback as he comes across. He knows what to say and when to say it to make it look like things aren’t really getting to him. He knows how to play it, on the bike and off the bike. “It’s hard to say what he’s like with mind games because I can only comment on how he’s been with me and I’ve never seen him play any games with me, especially last year when he was taking chunks out of my points lead. The guy didn’t really change, maybe he just knew that I wasn’t going to roll over. Maybe some of the guys he can break down mentally, maybe he knew it wasn’t going to get to me. “Him and JB (Jeremy Burgess) haven’t won all those titles just through his riding, they know how to play people, they know how to play their cards, when to show their hand, when not to show their hand. I don’t think he plays as many games as other guys – you don’t need to play a lot of games when you can ride like that.“ "On track sure he’s aggressive but he’s totally clean and he definitely has a lot of tactics. He knows when he wants to race just one guy, how to separate groups, how to slow down. Like Phillip Island in 2005 I was on him the whole race and he eventually saw that he wasn’t going to get away, so he slowed down, brought the next group up to us to get me caught up with them, then tried to make another break. He’s got a lot of race craft. “I’d say his biggest strength is that he can adapt. If the tyres go off and he needs to slide he can slide, when the bike need to be ridden in line he can ride in line, he can definitely adapt to situations. I can’t say there’s one area of his riding where he just kills guys. It’s not just braking or corner speed or this or that, I’d just say that when he’s in a rhythm and putting those laps down he can break a guy. Like at Jerez this year he broke Pedrosa by about half a tenth a lap, he just kept putting those laps down, riding on that edge. He doesn’t ride 95 per cent, he rides on that razor edge for a long time. “I don’t know about weaknesses, it’s hard for me to point out a guy’s weakness when he’s won all those championships. In fact I’m not going to say he’s got any weak points because I don’t need to motivate the guy! That’s why I don’t want to say anything negative, I’m a big believer in not motivating these guys anymore, that’s why I don’t talk trash.”

like, you do have to bring up the context that valentino had four title rivals in 2006 - melandri, hayden, capirossi and dani - and he really only seems to have cooled off towards one of them. I'm not saying it's melandri's fault! I think it's more... hm, it's a bit telling, isn't it? competitively, there's not really any reason for melandri to be singled out in any way. I mean, you'll note he didn't win the title - and the guy who did explicitly says he didn't think valentino was fucking with him. valentino says in 2005 that he's made an active effort to not let the melandri relationship get worse... which could be true insofar as he didn't want any drama, but clearly he did allow that friendship to grow cold. why do that? is melandri really such a threat? I feel like if valentino said something particularly egregious about melandri, we would have some kind of a record of it - but let's say he was just mildly bitchy about the guy. you'd want to take him to one side and tell him 'dude, you really needn't bother', right? like, no offence, but is THIS guy worth it?

except. well. it is a little interesting that in the immediate aftermath of 2004, valentino had another friend of his (who he had considerably more history with than his last title rival) head over to honda gresini, turn into a more serious challenger... and valentino went. 'hm, yeah, maybe let's not do that again.' whether consciously or subconsciously, he does seem to have drawn back from melandri a hell of a lot quicker than he did from sete - and let's not forget that sete was actually beating him in dramatic last lap duels, which melandri extremely did not do. now, look, of course there COULD have been some sort of private spat here that nobody involved ever talked about... or maybe valentino just decided for completely unrelated reasons he'd had enough of melandri. but isn't it just. a little noteworthy. that when it comes to the 2006 title rivals, valentino is on good terms with all of them, who he seemingly does not piss off too badly with any sort of off-track antics... except melandri. his coldest relationship is with his childhood friend. one might conclude that melandri was the one who had the most power to hurt valentino, if he had been allowed to remain close. one could argue that there the sete rivalry marked a bit of a turning point in terms of how valentino approached his rivalries, that after this point he really didn't want another rivalry that could affect him in the same way. one might point out that some of the details of the melandri rivalry sure feel like they could be used to back up this framing

all that being said. what valentino is doing here is... well, it's basically fine, isn't it. everyone and their dog agrees it's tough to remain friends with your actual close rivals. jb describes it as their friendship 'cooling off', which is also the kind of thing that can just... eventually happen with childhood friends, even when you don't have pressures of competition warping interpersonal dynamics. there's not all that much to suggest valentino was massively treating melandri differently from any of his other major rivals at the time - it's just that his prior relationship had been closer and melandri seems to have taken the shift poorly. given how little of a paper trail there is, it feels like any mind games on valentino's part were generally on the subtler side, perhaps just the occasional snide comment or insinuation or ambiguously shady line that never made it to an article we can still access nowadays. more in line with what nicky "I don't think he plays as many games as other guys" hayden is describing: how valentino knows how to play his cards without necessarily escalating it into full out war. when melandri's talking about the rivalry, at times he does seem less annoyed by anything valentino actually did than he is by the media pressure of being an italian rival of valentino's, of being subjected to a more hostile media environment tan valentino, etc etc. after a certain point, valentino was often a passive beneficiary of his own successes in that regard. it's not like he's telling the italian journalists to put extra pressure on melandri... but he's also hardly going to complain

in general, the timing of it does have a certain charm to it as useful evidence for my great big 'the sete experience changed how valentino approached his rivalries' thesis, but I'm always a tad wary of analyses that flatten valentino's rivalries and by extension valentino by treating the patterns of behaviour in each as identical. it's also worth pointing out that... well, melandri isn't exactly a neutral source here, and his 2010 great big yellow chair theory does maybe suggest his resentment was getting in the way of his judgement where valentino was concerned. in the end, people didn't enjoy melandri's celebrations as much as melandri would have liked. and at some point in 2005, valentino apparently decided he didn't like this guy's vibe any more. c'est la vie

#trying to find a diplomatic way of saying I never exactly got the impression melandri was the sharpest tool in the shed #and I failed which is why I'm putting it in the tags #idt jorge has ever managed to say anything as quietly devastating as the lines “but he never managed to make it as funny”#and “but the chair was green”. like it's so understated so un-jorge but he randomly struck that man stone cold dead. twice #jb's such a fun presence he's so matter of fact about it. yeah fair enough my boy will occasionally crank out the mind games if he has to #very target-oriented man. he's basically fine with anything if he thinks it'll help valentino win - from partying to mind games #this is why I still stand by my thesis he would've been a positive influence in 2015 and told valentino to just. cut it off occasionally #all this pit board faffing about he would've put a stop to y'know. plus you've got to keep the mind games productive #//#brr brr #batsplat responds #this says more about my own competitive impulses than anything else but I am. so aggressively fine with how vale handled this relationship #if it helps you to not be friends with a guy to beat him then... don't be friends with him...? dude none of my business that's the job #the biography is so LAZY on this like yes I get you maybe don't have the space for the psychological deep dive here #but if you're just throwing together a quote from sete and melandri and casey and call it a day it's a bit. well these are different things #character flaw this character flaw that well this is a Sport. we are here to Win. if it helps him win that's the main thing innit

Racing Hearts - E.Edwards

“One step forward, two steps to hell. I can't give up but I'm so unwell. It's me against the world, against myself. But this is not the end.”

- The end, Thomas Day

Y/F/N = your full name

Couldn’t think of a good way to end this so it is what it is but enjoy!

Ethan was well aware of what he signed up for when he started dating a professional motocross rider. When his season ends hers starts, the never ending road trips to races all over the world. Championships. He had never been one to see the enjoyment of riding dirt bikes but his girlfriend didn’t see the fun in hockey but they were each others biggest supporters in every game, every race, every chance either one of them had of a win. They were competitive. It ran in their blood.

When her season started and she asked if he wanted to tag along for the first three races he couldn’t say no. He loved seeing her have success. So he agreed and packed his bag, along with the team shirts and hats his girlfriend so graciously had gifted him. His usual getup of maize and blue being replaced by red and black. The number #12 written in big letters on the back along with her racing team. “You know I could get used to seeing you in that.” The voice of his girlfriend is muffled by her helmet, but he can still see her eyes behind the tinted visor.

He’s seen her in her gear hundred of times when they’re in her hometown on the track behind her house or on races but it still gives him butterflies. How he got so lucky to get someone as cool and fearless as her as his girlfriend he will never understand. But he’s damn lucky everyday that she chose him. “Don’t get your hopes up baby, it’s maize and blue for life.” Ethan’s lips curve into a smirk, reaching out to wrap one of his arms around her shoulders. A quick kiss to the top of her helmet, something they both do before every race or hockey game. “This isn’t hockey Eddy, maize and blue doesn’t matter here. Here it’s all about red and black.” Knocking her helmet against his chest she starts walking towards her dad - also known as her mechanic - and the rest of her team.

It’s always nerve racking before a race start, even if Ethan isn’t the one sitting on the bike he can feel it. The adrenaline is the same as when he steps on the ice. It’s all consuming and you get tunnel vision. All you see is the end goal. The win. So when the race gate falls he’s standing in his seat, shouting and hollering her name and encouragements in the air along her dad. Both of them waving their arms in the air. When she rides past the top two the cheers grow even louder, it’s electric. Chants of her name in the air around them and flags with her number waved around. It felt cool to see so many people admire her the same way Ethan does. That others also notice how amazing she is at what she does.

“Y/F/N takes the lead. It’s always a pleasure to see her on the track!” The speakers sparks in the background but Ethan can’t seem to rip his gaze away from the race.

He tries to ignore the pull in his stomach as he watches everyone getting closer to one of the bigger jumps. She’s done this over a thousand times Ethan tries to talk himself down from the anxiety. He knows things may happen in the sport, they happen in his too! It’s never a given that no one will ever get hurt. He just didn’t think it would be his girlfriend.

But that anxiety skyrockets when he sees her bike flying, her body being tossed in the air like a rag doll. Ethan thinks he hears her dad screaming no but he isn’t sure. It’s like his body stopped working when he saw her hit the ground. Body rolling down the sand hill. One arm wrapped around her head, the other across her stomach.

All Ethan wants is to run down to her but he knows he can’t, not until they’ve stopped the race and it’s safe for him to go down. Watching paramedics run over the track he just wishes that she would move. Why isn’t she moving? Her dad softly pushing Ethan forward brings him back to reality, both men sprinting full force down the stands. Jumping over the fence before running to where the group of people have gathered. Pushing his way to the front Ethan is met with his girlfriend sitting up, one of the medics checking for any obvious injuries. The sound of Y/N grumbling out that she’s fine brings a smile to his face. She may have had the wind knocked out of her but she’s still the same spitfire he knows.

Throwing her helmet off she runs a hand through her hair. She’s pissed off but she’s fine and that’s more than he had hoped seeing the crash. Y/N places her hand on Ethan’s cheek, forcing him to make eye contact with her. “Hey baby I’m fine, my ribs will be bruised but I’m fine.” Nodding he peppers kisses on her forehead, it tastes like dirt and sweat but he’s never been more grateful for it.

“I love you and you know that but I think I’ll just stick to watching you train at home from now on or I’ll die before I’m 21 of a heart attack.”

“Alright, deal.”

We have an idea that we're going to start some sort of Frankenstein Competition in it will be to find a motorcycle that is a new design there are a couple that are pretty high up there on the list as pretty potential winners and the two came up with it this morning and I approved this idea. These electric motorcycles and dirt bikes do not do well against emitters they suck very badly and they end up going nowhere the Chinese motors are bigger you can get a 350CC and when you put it into an electric motorcycle the motorcycle weighs only a total of about £400 because you're taking all that weight off and when you put that motor in it still weighs 400 pounds that's after and a 150 pound person will go a 180 miles an hour these electric bikes are designed they're sturdy they're st bikes they're sleek and decent looking and the bike looks very normal. Another idea is to convert the electric dirt bikes and even the pedal bike dirt bike that looks like the motocross can be converted to street use with a motor and we're talking about Chinese motors in like 300CC for those and you would end up going with the enduro tire lots of times they have it on it and you just change the brake disks and put signals on and a couple other things doesn't take much and those things go 120 miles an hour with the 300CC no they go ridiculous speeds 250 miles an hour those are very very light they're like 115 lbs without the batteries and the motor and you're adding only 80 pounds so it's under 200 pounds they're extremely vast and he's thinking of making a motorcycle company that makes these and he wants it to be the recycled Motors company because it is an outstanding idea and it really is they take the motors and you boil them down and they become high performance motors in the metal you boil down and you can use for the frame by adding the old motors from things and it's kind of a hotspot but it boy does it work well and then you'll get motors from China at first and continue it after a point they won't be able to meet production and they'll have to do it over there for their company but really this is A is a really really nice idea I had an idea for the cruiser it's kind of the same thing they make a cruiser that's electric and it's very light there's one that's a zero and the bike without the batteries was around £380 it's only about 30 pounds heavier than the sport bike but it's decent looking and it is a cruiser and you would take that and put a motor in only problem is they didn't make many of those they don't make many cruisers that are electric at all they make E bikes that are cruisers. So I went back to the drawing board and I said these

Rev Up Your Ride: The Ultimate Guide to Electric Dirt Bikes for Adventure Seekers

Introduction to Electric Dirt Bikes

Are you ready to hit the trails and experience the thrill of off-roading like never before? Electric dirt bikes are redefining adventure for enthusiasts around the globe. These high-tech machines combine power, agility, and eco-friendliness, making them a top choice for adrenaline seekers. Imagine gliding through rugged terrain without the noise or emissions of traditional gas-powered bikes. Whether you're a seasoned rider or just starting out, electric dirt bikes offer an exhilarating way to explore nature's playground. Buckle up as we dive into everything you need to know about these electrifying rides!

The Benefits of Owning an Electric Dirt Bike: Cost, Maintenance, and Environmental Impact

Owning an electric dirt bike comes with several compelling advantages. First off, the cost savings can be significant. Owners often spend less on fuel and maintenance compared to gas-powered alternatives. With fewer moving parts, electric bikes typically require minimal servicing. Maintenance is a breeze too. You won’t need to worry about oil changes or complicated engine repairs. Just keep the battery charged and check the tires regularly. Then there’s the environmental impact. Electric dirt bikes produce zero emissions during operation, making them a greener choice for adventure enthusiasts who want to enjoy nature without leaving a negative mark on it. Riding one of these bikes means you get all the thrills while contributing positively to our planet's health. Whether you're carving through trails or tackling rugged terrains, your choice supports sustainability in outdoor recreation.

Types of Electric Dirt Bikes: Trail, Motocross, and Dual Sport

Electric dirt bikes come in various types, each catering to different riding styles and terrains. Trail electric dirt bikes are designed for those who love exploring off the beaten path. They offer excellent traction and stability, allowing riders to navigate through rugged trails with ease. Motocross models focus on speed and agility. These bikes are built for competitive racing on closed tracks, featuring powerful motors that deliver quick acceleration and sharp handling. Dual sport electric dirt bikes combine elements of both trail and motocross designs. They are versatile machines perfect for riders who want to transition between paved roads and rough terrains seamlessly. Choosing the right type depends on your adventure goals. Whether you’re a casual rider or an adrenaline junkie, there's an electric dirt bike tailored just for you.

Features to Consider When Choosing an Electric Dirt Bike: Battery Life, Power, and Weight

When selecting an electric dirt bike, battery life is a top priority. Longer rides require robust batteries. Look for models offering at least 40 miles per charge to keep the adventure going. Power is another crucial feature. The motor's wattage determines acceleration and speed. A higher wattage usually means better performance on challenging terrains. Aim for around 3000 watts if you crave thrilling rides. Weight matters too, especially off-road. Lighter bikes are easier to maneuver but often compromise on durability or power. Strike a balance that suits your riding style and experience level. Consider additional features like regenerative braking, which can extend battery life while enhancing control during descents. Adjustable suspension systems also matter; they help manage different terrains effortlessly for a smoother ride every time you hit the trails.

Top Brands in the Market: Segway, Kuberg, and Razor

Segway has made a remarkable entrance into the electric dirt bike scene. Known for their innovative designs, they offer models that provide excellent stability and control. Their bikes are ideal for riders seeking both performance and comfort on rugged terrains. Kuberg stands out with its focus on youth-oriented electric dirt bikes. Designed specifically for younger riders, Kuberg’s models balance power and safety impeccably. They cater to novices while still providing a thrilling ride experience. Razor is synonymous with fun and adventure. With a reputation built on quality scooters, they have successfully transitioned into the electric dirt bike market. Razor bikes are more accessible in terms of price yet do not compromise on performance or durability, making them perfect for beginners venturing off-road adventures. These brands each bring unique strengths to the table, ensuring there's an option suited to every kind of rider looking to explore outdoor trails.

Safety Tips for Riding an Electric Dirt Bike

Safety is paramount when riding electric dirt bikes. Always wear a helmet that meets safety standards. Consider protective gear such as gloves, knee pads, and elbow guards. Familiarize yourself with your bike before hitting the trails. Understand its controls and features thoroughly. Start on flat terrain to build confidence. Stay aware of your surroundings while riding. Watch for obstacles like rocks or tree roots that could cause accidents. Riding in groups can enhance safety—keep an eye on each other. Keep your speed in check, especially around unfamiliar areas or steep descents. It's easy to lose control if you push the limits too soon. Always check weather conditions ahead of time. Wet or muddy surfaces can be slippery and hazardous for even experienced riders. Stay safe out there!

Where to Find Adventure

Adventure awaits around every corner, especially for those who ride electric dirt bikes. From winding trails in national parks to open fields and rugged mountains, the options are endless. Many outdoor enthusiasts prefer places that allow them to experience nature while testing their electric machines. Consider local motocross tracks or off-road parks. These locations often have dedicated courses designed for various skill levels and types of riders. They provide a safe environment where you can practice your skills and push the limits of your electric dirt bike. Then there’s the allure of unpaved backroads or scenic routes through forests. Always ensure these areas permit motorized vehicles; respect local regulations. Riding with friends enhances safety and amplifies enjoyment as you explore new terrains together. Online communities are also valuable resources when searching for adventure spots. Forums and social media groups often share hidden gems, upcoming events, or organized rides tailored specifically for electric dirt bike enthusiasts. No matter where you choose to go, remember that each ride is an opportunity to connect with nature, enjoy fresh air, and embrace freedom on two wheels powered by electricity. So gear up, venture out into the unknown, and discover just how exhilarating life can be on an electric dirt bike!
