I think I even heard a Sportster mentioned in his resume, so he's even had a Harley. You have to get away from the cactus juice Luke.

i grew up about 20-30 miles from dunlop's plant,,,i've had no problems with their tires,,,,,,and Cloan,,,what are you trying to say? Not many know Dunflop has a mfg. facility in the states. My Dunflop experience is more limited to M/X-S/X and Sport in the last 20 years. Started enjoying them on my ol RD I think the hot set up was the K-781's, The RD goes back more than 20 years. There was something different with the Asphalt composition in North Texas because I never found any Street tire that gave me confidence. I have driven TMS in the old asphalt Limestone and again in the latest Granite composition and felt know diff. ?? I have never had a Touring/Cruiser application, but if thats the only experience is one application I dont call a mfg's product junk across the board. Ride On! Clone

OK Clonedrone, does this flub your ...um...dub?
It does mine....I think. What's a dub? Ummm, Kinda, Star Wars looking. Nahhh, Something of that size I'll just get a plane jane bike. The S 1000 RR Flubs my Dub! A employee of a customer of mine has one, ride from work to the drag strip for Wednesday night grudge wars and he can pull 9.80's in the qtr. No extended swing arm totally of the showroom, but at $15,500 whatever I opted for the new Blade.

I didn't catch his post,,, yeah I owned a sportster,,, then after extensive rework of the suspension front and back,,,, zippers performance superhammer kit ,,, on top of raw thunderstorm bare head castings from Harley sent to zippers for their magic,, corrected valve angles ports , valves red shift camsblah blah blah all jims inside kinda like lucifers hammer meets drag bike ,,, fun ,,As far as me lying,,, I've had my share of big inch bikes,,, touring and cruising were never in the picture,,, the only thing that came close was my BMW r1150r and that went thru it's own extensive weight loss program with a custom Ti exhaust made for me to my design by ztechnik in Germany,,, that was 25lb lost right there ,,,,, already contacted GPR in italy to see about bending me a Ti system for the aprilia dorsoduro i havnt even bought yet ,, and yes they'll make it for me,,,, it'll cost more than most scooters on this board,,,so what,,,who cares,,

i've seen one in the Amerivespa Rally, it's a huge scooter, nothing really special about it, i didn't notice it was a beamer until i saw the emblem, it's just a one glance-goodbye scooter, nice to look in the start but as you look at it, it becomes so ordinary.,,,unlike my Morphous.,im not kidding. same people would come up to me and shower it with praises. all people with all ages gets attracted to it, i don't say this only because i own one...there's just magic in this morphous , dunno what it is, do you know?? (omg, i can foresee, jokes gonna be pouring after this message) hit it

Just think of the compliments you would have gotten if you rode further than 300 feet.

I'll address you for the last time luke,,,i don't have anything to prove to you or anybody else for that matter,,,i build machines to my taste and level of riding expertise,,to the level of performance that satisfies me not anyone else,,if i want to do a build on the dorsoduro i've been eyeing (and it has been calling me loudly these last couple days) i will,,and i don't care what it costs to do it,,,,albeit it doesn't need too much,,,just a slight bump in power and shed very little weight and it will be a fun time,,,So please take your misguided thoughts and inexperience and leave me alone,,you have nothing to share with me or with probably most of the forum,,, the only thing you do is breed dissention and create ill will,,,,,,just leave me out of your rants thank you,,,,
