    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    I think the idea is to run it at 10 pounds so it flexes in the corners. Or you can run 80 pounds so it forms a D shape with the pressure.
    They call it a real riders bike because you need be a really good rider to ride it around a bend.

    My old bike. Last I heard it had been written off, so I suspect this is a repair and re-register.

    It's missing the pack rack and headlight guard.
    Says credit to the last owner - pat yourself on the back... Or does it mean credit to the tech who put it back together again using mostly new parts?

    It had some very minor front fairing damage. The rest of it is fine.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    if it was dereg with accident damage, its required to have a frame and fork inspection I think? My neighbour who rebuilt a CBR1000RR did that and the bike was absolutely perfect.

    $600 and a bag of chips is probably what its worth, but only to some beardy weirdy. At least its not a XZ400, but not much could be worse than a GL400

    What's with all these people who have just finished writing about their performance/weight modifications, then immediately tell you it's LAMS compliant. Morons.

    I lolled - if I had an active TM account, I would even ask the question - telling him it's not LAMS approved as its been modified.

    Used to see the same thing in the pre-LAMS days.

    Someone would stick a 400 cc engine in a bike still registered as a 250 - and tell potential buyers it's all legal.

    If someone knows what they're getting into, whatever, their choice to take on the risk; but it was really annoying to see newbies led into possible crap by straight out lies. To the extent that, after asking pointed questions that never appeared, I reported some listings to the TardMe police (yes, I'm a nark), but never saw any action. (TardMe don't care as long as they do get their fees and don't get in the news.)
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
