Blatantly ripped from supermoto junkie - thanks wild_fx! - and supplimented with some of muzz's suggestions! :supz:

The SuperMotard Code
Always wheelie over bridges that cross another road (for the pleasure of the ones travelling below)

Go fast into corners as you can, and when you see God, hit the brakes...And when a sportbike runs out wide to negotiate a switchback you should drop in on the inside and ........ observe their
technique.......... and when they nearly drop it in surprise when they spot you.... pop a little wheelie on the way to the next corner.......

When hunting sportsbikes always wait until you get a bunch of them going into a hairpin and pass them all at once... "Five scalps that time Tonto"

Supermoto and fake carbon do not mix.

'Tis not kosher to pass on the public highways and byways. Besides it's more fun to casually look over from your ...proper... upright position as they scramble to emulate Rossi but with little
success......

Thou shalt modify thy bike from the manufacturers specification at every oppurtunity

It shall break, Thou wilst not sweareth

Thou shalt not covert they neighbours Berg...... thou shalt get one yer flippin self

Thou shalt have a fully road legal motorcycle, yeah RIGHT!

Thou shalt perfect the art of the "tactical dismount"

Thou shalt not lie...... unless asked by a representaive of the law as to whether you were speeding and is that can legal?

Thou shalt deliberately and with malice aforethought attempt to wheelie in front of onlookers for the sole purpose of demonstrating the cleanliness of thine sump

Thou shalt not replace scuffed parts in the pursuit of vanity,they shall stay on the bike as testimony to your foolishness at falling off, thou shalt gain no "Kudos" from this endeavour

Thou shalt learn to change a rear tire and not fack it up.

Thou shalt not pay full price for anything, Thou shalt excersize the sacred practice of Barter at all times

Thou shalt be respectful of sportsbike riders and acknowledge there right to be on the same road as thou by passing them at the earliest oppurtunity and saluting their biking prowess with a well tossed stone off your rear wheel into their expensive headlight glass

Thou shalt respect thine wife with a sunday morning post coital hug and not leap off into your leathers whilst her face is still stuffed in the pillow and gasping for air

Thou shalt buy a decent bike stand

Thou shalt know the names of all local hospital Triage nurses

Thou shalt accept a piss ripping for thine own public humiliations with dignity and honour, and get the bastards back at every oppurtinity

Thou shalt take every oppertunity to let people know what you ride, especially sportsbike riders. Then continue to tell them how good our bikes are, until they get so annoyed with you that they start to get that little vainey thing in their foreheads.

Thou shalt (when at a trackday with sportsbike riders) make sure they overhear you when stating that your motard is putting out at least 100BHP LESS than their machines... after passing them round the outside of every corner thus pissing them right off!

Thy wilt practice thine burnout and donut technique without any consideration to the cost of tyres, as they are sacrificed to the good cause

Highchair wheelies will be attempted whenever feasible, unless thou art crap at it! ;)

Offroad detours will be considered a good thing, especially when used to ambush groups of sportsbike riders


:finga:

Feel free to add some more!

Of course not to forget

Supermotard Prayer

Our father, who art in motard heaven,
Hallowed be thy anodised billet fork caps.
Thy track day come, thy stunting will be done,
On race track as well as on street-dom.

Give us this day our daily wheelie,
and forgive our sportsbike leanings,
as we forgive those who are themselves 'tardless.

And lead us not into plastic temptation,
but deliver us from dickhead car drivers.
For thy bike is the most fun, despite less power,
And the chicks really dig it, for ever and ever.

Amen

Love it. :D

Thought there'd also be:

"Thou shalt accelerate upon seeing a speedhump and acheive lift"

Though my last attempt at that did end badly... :oops:

Thou shalt take bike paths and pedestrian bridges wherever possible even if they do not lead to your destination.

Ive racked up some of the more well known pedestrian bridges and bike paths around melbourne so far. i just need a quieter tard.

the drz400sm was so quiet a close friend of mine used to practice her wheelies every day after work in front of a cop shop... without realizing that is :D

more details please :-)uhhh... so f^%&king embarrassing.

I normally jump the speed humps down my street (4 in a row, how can you resist?)

Except this time my idiot switch went on. Coz exams were finishing at Caulfield racourse, there are parked cars everywhere. About 4 cars lengths past the speed hump was a P plater doing a 3 point turn.

I some how thought I could jump the speed hump at about 65km/hr, land, brake in time, or worse case brake and swerve.

Needless to say it didn't go as planned. When I jumped it the kid shat and stopped reversing, so I slammed the brakes the moment I landed, lost the front just as I got near him and did a very ungratious little tumble slide. Bloody front wheel slid under his bumper and cracked it. So there goes my insurance premium. Got called a f^&%king dickhead by some workmen who saw it.

Then picked up what was left of my dignity and went home.
Hardly my brightest hour :oops:
Normally I back right off if there's a chance of things going badly. Don't know why but this time I was just a f&^*king tool.

Haha, yes! My daily commute on Tooronga rd crosses the south eastern fwy. Although most of the time I'm good and don't follow the code of conduct :(

Showing off sump is very important, the spectators just don't know it yet.

lol, that code of conduct is gold.

I had a moment with a speed hump too, I went over it with one hand on the bars. It nearly turned very ugly and I came close to parking the bike and myself into the back of a parked car. Mark was right behind me too, it must have looked hilarious...
