    I get about 2/3rds the standard bikes lock with the ZXR triple clamps and even if I managed more, the bars are about 5mm from hitting the frame, which cannot happen because it's all bling/polished and it'd get marked.
    There's nothing like completely ruining a very practical bike

    I used to have a Kwaka that smashed my thumbs off the tank when it got into a tank slapper. Generally about 110mph on the motorway passing trucks. I blamed Dunlop.

    Nah our cops can't ride.

    Remember, that GOOD QUALITY TRAINING stays with you forever. It doesn't get sold with your bike, or expire with your rego. It stays with you FOREVER..

    It's not the message that is DELIVERED, but the message that is RECEIVED that is important.

    Beat the world champion? LOL. No.
    He's not infallible, though. On the new bike. Nature of the sport.




    This dude might be a contender.

    Not quite, but I used to train riders to do those tight hill turns on Harley Road Kings. Hardest part was the stop when your rear brake foot had to be used to support the bike as it leaned into the hill. Just in case you want to know....a RK will flip 6-7 times as it rolls downhill until it slides to a stop. Removable windshield will pop off but the crash bars on the front and rear (if covered with radiator hose) will absorb the scrapes.
