  1. Does that bike have external fork springs?
  2. Ohhhhh dude!!!! Send me a PM with directions to come see it or ride it out here to Chilliwack. That is so nice!
  3. I'll wish you everything I can to help you through this. I'll even pray!
  4. Ahhhhh, that's nuthin!!! I used to do that with my 1964 C200 Honda only in real traffic situations! I even did it once with a cash register balanced on the handlebars! Try that one!
  5. Bloody hell! That looks like the beast that was waiting to pick up Neil Diamond after his concert in Vancouver tonight! P.S. I managed to get half pissed and fall asleep during the concert...I suppose that's why the wife was completely pissed..... at me!
  6. Bag Balm is what Shania Twain uses. What you guys really need is GENTA-JECT !!
  7. There is a fellow who works at Trev Deeley Buell who does this on a full dressed Harley and carries it all the way down the street. If you meet him he seems like the last person who would be able to do this....he weighs about 140 lbs and is a very mild mannered gentleman!
  8. If the break in was done on the race track then you can almost surely bet that it is OK. The manual even suggests the race track for break in.
  9. Whhen you put it that way I agree with you 100%.
  10. It is tough to watch the worlds greatest make a mistake that we thought only the other guys could make. Maybe a chink in the armour....?
  11. Ooops! Sorry mate! But it is still a Chevy. Wasn't knocking what it was but I have a hard time comparing any of them to an H1. The H1 is a purposebuilt offroad vehicle and the H2 and H3 are similar bodies on pickup truck chassis'. By the by, my pickup does very well offroad too but no way can I crawl over rocks and such as an H1 does.
  12. That's not really a Hummer. That's a dressed up Chevy Yukon. They call it the H3.
  13. YEAH! WHEN?
  14. I believe I see the same thing Pete! The only major complaint in the article so far is the bars are too wide. Sounds just right to me!
  15. I want to see pictures when you get it!
  16. YEAH! (sorry)
  17. Well you got that right for Motegi. Loris first and Max second!! Rossi? Well it looks like he pulled a squid move trying to pass Melandri and took himself and Melandri out. If it was anyone else they would have called it thus but all the announcers would say is how unfortunate it was. Rossi f*@#ed up! That's what I saw!
  18. Most of it is paved and there are about three circuits you can put together. I ride it a lot on my WR 400. I love sliding those knobby tires! I'll try and get a map put together for you.
  19. Unfortunately it is the most common 1974 model but I just happen to be working in Nakusp this week so I have picked up some SFC parts to take home! I hope to have my SFC and BSA sloper mobile in chassis form this fall!! I hope to get crazy and ride the MGS through the Rider Lake circuit before fall comes!!
  20. The FBF 11:1 pistons help a lot. I don't have to pull on the bars or slip the clutch at all. I bring the revs up to about 4500 slowly then wide open quickly. This is the result and can be carried for a few hundred feet if I shift into second but it seems the torque of the engine or shaft drive makes it want to lean to the right. I tend to start the wheely turning slightly to the left and I need a lot of body english to keep it up straight.
  21. I know the feeling. I think a few of us here were cheering you on!
  22. Nice work, Orangeokie!!! Watched ya' nab it just as the gate came down!! Cheers! Jim.
  23. Dukes of Holland
  24. In case you do not speak French that means "Bling Bling, Mister!" in American!!
