  1. I was playing around with googles latest bit of time wasting and thought I would compare some of the forums more prolific threads. The results are very interesting especially the demographics (click on regions to see what is more relevant in different countries). Global Warming vs Hooters A bit of a tie there but what about those Aussie's? It seems that some hotter countries tend to be more into Global Warming and less into looking at scantily clad women -which they have lots of to look at!! Then there is Germany .... What time is it? vs belfastguzzi I don't think any comment is necessary here. ECU vs Broken Scura Clutch Nobody seems to care about Scura clutches but ECU's sure are important to Aussie's, Greeks and Malaysians!! Baby Seals vs Synthetic Oil I thought this one would go the other way but I guess reality wins here!! MGS vs K&N Filters A definite winner here. Nobody cares about air filters anyways!!
  2. No problem. Glad to be of service!
  3. You can take pictures too, Antonio!!
  4. Monster forks are shorter as are most other bikes forks. The v11 has forks that are a bit longer than most other bikes so that should be your first concern if shopping for an alternative fork.
  5. Could it be a Monza?
  6. I'll be checking flight prices right away!!
  7. With the slipper clutches they have now they can idle lower. Before it was to keep the rear wheel from hopping on decelleration.
  8. ..... and that just about says it all!
  9. Corser complained that the Ducati's traction control allowed it to out accelerate the 4's out of corners by a large margin. It is also speculated that Bayliss's success will kill Ducati's push for a 1200 cc limit for 2 cylinder bikes in Superbike. crash.net Perhaps they will get him a Superbike Desmosedici next year ....
  10. Nope. No interest here. None at all. Could not care less. Don't want to hear about it. Do not want to see any pictures. It does not matter at all to me. Nope. Don't waste your time telling me how great it is. So tell us all about it Pete!!!
  11. Now that's a fact. That also demonstrates that tire profile can make a huge difference as the profile of a worn tire is nothing at all like the profile of a new tire - even same model and brand.
  12. Yes! I believe most cocks have "swimmers" in them.
  13. Check your steering damper. If it has been leaking oil it will not have any damping in the centre of its travel but will still have damping at the limits. it can be disconcerting!
  14. Good show!! Don't worry about the clutch. If it will put up with the abuse I dish out then it is strong enough. Enjoy!!
  15. This thread is useless without pictures!!!
  16. Oh, sorry! I forgot to say he deserves a "You're not worthy" point. I truly apologise to all concerned.
  17. I hope that feeling spreads to the Canadian dealers because so far the 'delivery' is not there!!
  18. DING! Give the guy a point Ben.
  19. Glenn Curtiss rocks!! He was also involved with some of the earliest aviation in Canada along with Alexander Graham Bell!!
  20. ...but some of them are Irish and they play the fiddle. Anyone we know? Irish Klingon Animal Fiddler
  21. This would be much more exciting if they would build it!!
