    Im noticed that but I'd just thought I'd have a gentle dig at the evo riders out there

    Evo is short for evolution. It's a type of engine HD which was part of a ten year business plan for HD from 1976 to 1986.

    The EVO motor was released in 1984 and fitted to five of that years new model bikes.

    I guess an EVo rider is one who rides an EVO fitted bike.

    (1) Harley-Davidson (of course!) only now you have TC models to think about as well!

    (2) The year you were born (and my engagement)

    (3) 10 years after you were born (pre-pubescent age for you!!)

    I'll tell ya a nice reason to have a weak unstressed engine.

    It ain't jerky.

    Snap the throttle open or closed and they just glide up or down. Sure they can really take off but it the engine doesn't do sudden wheelspinning or grabbing that heavy engine braking as with high reving engines.

    With a choice of bikes, I'd probably take a new pillion on a cruiser or tourer so we don't get all the helmet bashing with the sudden starts and stops.

    Note to other kb'ers - this is how you actually answer the question with out adding your pointless dribble to the threads (take note zxer)
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    Wot 'e sed.

    Tractable torquey understressed engines make for smooth easy cruising, don't need THAT much power for such activities.
