We have a couple Duc trackday'rs and racers here that I need to get talking with when I get home. I know all the BMW guys, but now I'm not only switching brands but also chassis designs and engine configuration so it's going to be a whole new learning curve. |

Guys have done it, everything links up but IIRC you alter the geometry enough its not going to be properly setup for cornering.
A rear change (on SSSA) is quicker than changing a car tire since its just one clip and one big ass nut. It actually came in handy on Sunday as after lunch I was spinning up the rear exiting the corner and had to throw on a new Q4 stat. Dont even miss a session (and that actually included having it mounted/balanced, if I had a spare wheel I could have gone back out same session). Brake and everything stays on the swingarm and no touching the chain so dont even have to worry about getting dirty. One thing that is fun about a twin is the torque. I came from a 4 banger to this and its a completely different style. You dont have to constantly row to keep the revs all the way up, its vary rare I have to shift while still exiting the corner, normally I can let the revs drop a bit and ride the torque until Im upright. The bike isnt as stable at the apex as the 4 but on corner exit you get drive earlier. Also you'll want a slipper, it engine brakes like a beast. Edit: Also with a fully Termi system the exhaust sounds like machine gun fire. The MVs intake sounded better than its exhaust but this is all exhaust.

Can't complain, how about you?
Are you gonna go to disappear like last time for few years until your relation is (hopefully not) rescheduled to other flight plans?

No, I just sit around all day making shit up. If I had a good enough imagination to make shit like this up, I’d be a writing movies.

Love the Husqvarna dirt bikes, so I'm sure that thing is great.

P.S. You can either get the DK link or the adjustable link off the 1098/1198 S or R. That's what I did. |

Im waiting for my girl to get better so I can upgrade her from this little Kawasaki to a Husky but the Vitpilen 401. We both like the look and Id probably use it as a runabout. Ill keep my MG Griso as a power cruiser but that could be fun for hooning it around town.

Just a 120 minute TDK cassette tape is all that's needed......oh, and someone with enough time to read all that. I won't lie, I didn't even skim it; just saw the length of the post and thought, "Nope."

I'm assuming it had something to do with motorcycles considering the subsequent replies. I'm just glad everyone is getting along again. A single tear runs down my cheek in appreciation, as I type this. So proud.

He’s now also a former military elite sniper who encounters Krav Maga experts in mid foreign deserts and they fall in love and this love makes him rich. I’m only left to interpret the reason this deadly deviant didn’t remove his life from this planet is because his sex appeal, likely related to the military issued pants, created greater desire for intercourse than death.
