Help! Need to learn to ride before 5pm

[cave weta]

gota admit i do like the sound (only when they're idling though),

potato potato potato potato potato potato potato potato

[cave weta]

i have been told that the clutches are heavier than on other bikes. they need a fairly strong grip to control. ive never ridden one either except as a passenger. good luck!

THEY SHOULD HAVE A CLUTCH PEDAL -its bigger than some cars!

[SARGE]

get off at corners and push it around ....


oh .. and make sure you pick up a fat chick

rember to give it LOTS of throttle, those harleys are slow..........

sorry I meant to put this up earlier but got busy. Anyway that bike (the harley) was hidious. Dont have much time so gona make this quick. Brakes, what brakes, it needed like 200m (only slight exageration) to stop from 50kph (and the front brake was useless). Then I couldnt get nuetral at the lights so had to sit with the clutch in during peak hour CBD traffic. My hands were numb after 20min. It fucking wobbled and stalled everytime I got my hands off the throttle, until I found the choke.....THEN it shook like.....well a Harley. My dads ride on lawnmover could drag that thing away to, it was completely gutless. Dont get me wrong once it got up and boogied I could keep up with the flow of traffic, but first gear and part of second was just pathetic. It apparently was given to Juice by a chopper company from Rotorua so I doubt it actuallly was a Harley. Don't know how to tell, didnt see any Harley badges on it. Got a couple of CD's and a bottle of Jack for my efforts though so was all worth it, I think. Wouldn't mind taking a real Harley for a spin though so I can have a real opinion.

Sure it wasn't a mini chopper?

If they make full size "mini" choppers then ye I guess it was. How big do mini choppers get?

Mate what you have just described is a Harley!
even if it wasnt a Harley - it was such a good copy that it behaved EXACTLY as it should- the perfect clone.

was the aircleaner trying to rub its way through your jeans?
did you have to move your ankle trough an un-naturally large arc to make it change gear?
did you have to keep your thumb on the indicator button to keep them flashing?
did the suspension bottom out over service station driveways?

[michael]

Ya sure? Look I'm extremely biased and I'm trying not to be. Just that this is the first time I've ever been on a bike and wanted to get off after 10min. The worst thing was people kept looking at the bike, like it was cool or something.

Didn't have a chance to experience all those things unfortunately but I can say that changing gears was terrible. Its like the arc would never end. Why is it so long?

Looking cool is all the designers and purchasers think of.....

stopping cornering and breakdowns dont happen in the pub carpark.

and why do you think they always park on the footpath?

Its all about NOTICE ME- FUCK YOUSE!
