  1. Cobain Lives! It just proves how great song writing is what does it. While searching to confirm that Kurt Cobain was the author, I found this tidbit:

    How's BFG?

  4. I too, have a sport, but with longer Ohlins. Because they are longer, I could mount the convertibars on top. The convertibars need to grab more fork than the LeMans clip ons, so you may need to lower the front of the bike a little to get more fork. Make sure the front fender does not bottom out. Or just do what TriSpeed suggest and mount them between the triple clamps. They are designed to adjust very high, so go for it. The biggest things to worry about are that the handlebar movement does not effect the throttle, and that when the forks are fully extended, the front brake line is still loose. Hitting the fairing or tank will be self evident. Did you get the extended cables, etc.?

    Jim's Indicators

    Gotcha! Then my bodge vote stands and meets the test and this is not a legitimate modification. I can't believe industry actually markets such a dreadful bodge. I am horrified and angry! Jim should spend a few dollars more and make it right
  6. What a cop out. It is clear that you internally ridden with guilt and grasping for excuses. You are so desperate that you site the existance of government policy as a legitimizer for batting cute animals to death. Somewhere in that vinegar drenched heart of yours, there is a spot of sweet compassion, left over from when you were young and innocent. Hey Jude, if you are reading this, why don't you log on and speak for yourself about how you write laws that approve physical excercise of using golf clubs to end the lives of worthless animals to make a better, more physically fit mankind? Hey Pete, the world is going to become more humanitarian, get over it!

    Anything but an electronic flasher is a bodge. http://www.superbrightleds.com/tail-brake-turn.html I think the two pin flasher is what we need $12.95++ The beauty of the LEDs with electronic flasher is the lower energy consumption and theoretically, increased durability. YMMV
  10. Isn't that frame kind of ugly? I guess if it works we'll go with it. The spine frame is a good design because it allows good access for repairs and service, and it works well with the V twin design. The spine frame is not likely to be as rigid as a semi-perimeter frame, like the Griso's. But I don't like how the Griso's frame bends around the throttle bodies and cylinder heads...but if it works fine, and is not too heavy, I suppose it is good. It just is not as pretty as a Ducati trelis frame, or any of Tonti's work. But I am prejudging, as I have not seen the complete frame.
  11. So we need someone to vote you into third place. Even French Bob is beating you...probably he got some cock worshippers to vote for him. Third place behind TXR and BFG would be a high honor. But I suppose if Ratchethack and Pete Roper were on the ballot, you and I might be even further down the list. We don't get no respect!

  15. Sorry Pete for zinging you. It was all meant in good humor. I am sure you are about as far away from being a racist as you can get without being nauseatingly politically correct.
  16. most racists do have large quantities of ordanance in their armouries. I guess Cannibal grade is below Poxy grade.
  17. Disney did not invent the concept of not killing cute things. They just took advantage of people's nature, the genetic predisposition in most species to not kill cute things. It it theorized and maybe accepted that babies of any species are cute so that we don't eat our offspring as it is bad for the proliferation of the species. The cute factor also entices the parent to care for the offspring. As the cute factor fades, the parent is supposed to cut the figurative umbilical cord...it does not alway happen. I think it would be a shame to evolve out of the tendency of not killing cute things. I think when kids see Disney films and films of animal slaughter, many of them do become vegetarians, until family and peer pressure pushes them back to "normal" behavior. KFC and McDonalds are savy enough not to post pictures of cute baby cows and chickens, although it might not be a bad marketing ploy to de-sensitize their patrons. I suspect the use of words like beef, venison, poultry, and pork are designed to seperate people from the fact they are eating cow, deer, bird, and pig. But the films of animal slaughter are much more likely to push them to vegetarianism than Disney. You still don't see many Disney films with beef, pork, and lamb in the leading roles. Disney generally casts animals that we don't eat. Most of us don't eat clown fish, bambi burgers, mickey mice, pluto dog, monkey, lion, tiger, pooh bear, bear pooh, or mermaid(but that might be tasty ). About the only exceptional character might be Donald Duck, which many people avoid perhaps because it is more expensive than chicken.

Maybe we need a poll for who do you think is second funniest???? third funniest??? least funniest?? Maybe if I make up some jokes, I can get a second vote??? Q.

    Customer Service

    Guzzi has the same problems. If the factories paid the dealer decently for warranty work and first services, it would be a non-issue. If the factory did not give dealers incentives or discounts for moving more bikes, the price difference between dealers would not be so great, nor would the resentment. Small dealers make Guzzi great and competive in a market flooded by Japanese bikes Harleys, and inhuman dealers. I hope Piaggo understands that. You would think this Harley dealer could just accept a new customer.
