THAT goes back a while ....!!

I use a tender but only for one day each week ..... don't use a tender nonstop.

Speaking of former members ... I wonder what's rotten in Denmark? I see Tikkanen was lurking here this morning!

It's about time you showed yer bloody face here Belfast .....!!

You are right ..... BFG likes to dress up .... and now I know why he started this thread .....!! http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2348&hl=%2Bwhat+%2Btime+%2Bit%3F Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I know one stop I want to make when I get to (soon to be) independent Scotland next summer ....!!

I told him Pete has some magic secrets for him hoping that would entice him to show his face!

Nice ........... oh ... you already said that!! It's still nice!

I still have my original orange battery in my Rosso Mandello .... coming up on 13 years.

Good for you! Enjoy! Sent from FRED (Fricking Ridiculous Electronic Device)

I would very much like to get some measurements but I will have to wait for a space on my motorcycle lift to get that kind of information. That might take a few weeks .... One proof may be measuring the wheelbase .... if the forks are canted or raked in ... or out .... then the wheelbase would be slightly different from the original red frames with the original triple clamps. That's where I would look for differences first.

I resemble that comment ..... except for the weeks before my pilots medical.

I forget what it was I drank one night in Peebles but it WSS enough that pn the walk back to Belanrig farm I managed to fall in the burn twice .... however I did complete the journey unassisted! Sent from FRED (Fricking Ridiculous Electronic Device)

Canting "in" the front forks will achieve the same effect as the shorter GSXR forks (or having less offset as in sp838's EDIT) I would really like to know if that is what Greg Field meant about the "canted" triple clamps.

Now THAT will probably get you some interesting google images ....!!!

dlaing is working for the liberal-democrats trying to ensure legislation for mandatory steering dampers ...... it should be complete in 15 to 20 years! Captain Nemo is in a North Korean prison .... he was caught trying to modify some old T-34 tanks and Hatchetrack fingered him for being CIA. Greg Field is running a gun range in Colorado .... oh wait ... I think they banned guns there now! All gun licences became pot licences!! MacGuzzi is running an old folks home somewhere in Sconnie Botland.

Just chatted with him on the Facebook and he said he'll drop a line here soon!

Looking great ..... spine frames look so cool with the tank and seat off!!

I will look for him on Facebook ....!

There is this one ......

Now this has me thinking ..... he doesn't mention which way the forks are canted. If they are canted forward then that will reduce trail and increase instability. So I am thinking then that they are canted back - or steeper - as this will increase trail and increase stability. Since the steering head remains the same ..... the forks actual rake doesn't change - just the angle of the forks. Here is a link to a chopper page that actually describes canted triple clamps. http://www.seegercycle.com/Rake-and-Trail.aspx

Nice job sorting the wheat from the chaff ....... and a fair bit of that chaff was well used as bedding for the not yet steers .... if'n you knows what I means!!! ( ... and if'n you don't ...... well then I can explain it for ya!)

Hahaha! I got a little nervous twitch when Greg mentioned Nemo ..... Sent from FRED (Fricking Ridiculous Electronic Device)
