Show and Tell: What bike do you ride??

[SLugg]

heres a test for all you riders

wait until its a 40 degree day

then go and lie on the road (in a safe spot) for 20 mins

if you are burning or get burnt you arnt dressed well enough

until youve laid under a bike pinned an unable to move you dont realise the value of a leather jacket good boots and jeans or leather pants
and the relative ease with which skin blisters

last week I saw a motorcyclist with his son on the back of his bike
was a 40 deg day he was dressed in jeans and jacket and boots
his son was in shorts and sandals , i can hear him now -- i wasnt going fast
I wasnt going far ...etc etc
think b4 you ride , ride safe

Sure, just with all the "mysterioso" references to the mods on the Beemers I thought you were reluctant to just come out and say it...good to see my guess was correct!

...you dont realise the value of a leather jacket good boots and jeans or leather pants...

I hear you and agree despite the fact that I never wear a jacket unless cold and never wear leather dacks when it is warm-hot. I'll say this though, you see some fellas at work met with a lass the other day, said to be an expert on m/c prangs and safety apparel.

They were trying to find something that allows you to be cool and protected - apparently it doesn't exist. You are either going to be hot and protected or cool and unprotected. She said that anything on the market espousing to be protective and allowing you to remain cool is an exercise in marketing - who knows...

In any case, she said that crash analysis has shown a rider slides on the road surface for between 6-7 secs on average. She also said a pair of jeans lasts 0.6sec on average. Clearly jeans do not provide the level of protection that I and most others always thought they did. Merely FYI.

Cheers, Craig

Is it a supercharger of some description?

[warrend]

2005 Honda CBR100RR, Red/Black, Yoshi exhaust, its a blast !, although its road registered, my preference is to use it for track days at Phillip Island, a safe envioriment, no speed cameras, and plenty of space to open the throttle .

A supercharger that bolts onto th side of a harley (as well as others)
Pretty well double torque and horse power
