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 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 |

My GY-6 equipped Scoot starts fine with the Kick Start Paddle.
I have only used it in fair Weather tho.
Maybe a Tip here, Like trying to Kick Start the Newer Four Stroke M/Xer's, Slowly kick it through to the Compression Stroke then give
it a good Kick.

What I find admirable in the Victory video is the choice of young lady. She's short, a little on the heavy side and quite well spoken. They usually use an anorexic waif with large, plastic breasts and a tank top two sizes too small. This girl rides, asks intelligent questions and is quite genuine. Not one silly giggle. Bravo Victory. Dude! That Chick is Bagged and Clapped out, She needs a Bra for the flab on the back side of her upper arms. (all in fun here, no issing contest) Seriously (not really) she would not fit the template to get into Caii, or West of the Mississippi. I dont consider weight proportionate to be anorexic. But in these times of Leberalism this is a gray area. Not even with beer goggles on! Or if Texican Tequila goggles. Couldn't even take that one for the Team. Ride On!

Good stuff. Just saw one thing I don't like, a shot of a couple tires with dunlop on the side of them. Dunlop must give the tires to manufacturers for free to get them to use their garbage. I would think a maker would get a decent tire so that the buyers would realize full potential of a new machine. Definitely got to get into the lottery games causes SS isn't much to make payments out of. You are aware the Dunflop plant is located in Western NY? They have Contracts with HD and others. Nothing for free. I can change WORKS MX Dunflops with my hands, no tools, I cant say that of any other brand. An I am currently enjoying Bridgestones Battle Axe on my new Blade and love them. I get to try them all and find Dunflops, Bridgestone, Perelli, Michelin, to be at the tops. But again whatever Flubs your Dub. Ride On! Clone |

that would be a picture huh? scooter,,,,,,me in a speedo,,,lol,,,it'd look like a rubber band on an egg,,,,ouch i just creeped myself out,,,my poor wife,,,as a side Clone you just gotta put up a pic of you flying a bike one day,,,,, LOL!! Nah I have found from experience that bringing the camera out equal's "Hold My Beer and Watch This" As mutch as I would like to get the Go-Pro out of yours truly Draggin a Knee or Old guy Throwin a Fat Whip off a Triple, Nope. I pulled fourth recently at a buck ten or so at the peak of a down hill and inadvertently pulled the most beautiful Down hill wheelie. Wanted so bad to replicate on the Go-Pro but old and wise kicked in as I knew it spelled disaster ie Whiskey Throttle Endo. Ride On! Clone |

omg! wait a minute,who is this clonedrone guy???...he's very technical, hmmm, your'e starting to impress me... if you impress Luke, you must be good. but, i will still have to observe if your'e fake or an impostor using another username type of guy!...we'll see!, but for now, keep it shining! Luke. Not here to impress just share my own experience not some crp I read on the net or Joe Go Fast told me so. I have lots of great information to share. I have little to hide, Do a search on Pit Pass radio May 12th 2009 and is easy to figure out from there. Now I'm down here in Deep Fried Ville and Bad Walmart Camo drawing Loli Pops. Ride On! Clone Now repeat after Me, Bolt Gap is Used to Measure Head Spacing Not To Set It!!!! |

yes constantly monitor the surroundings,,head swiveling at all times i want to know exactly who is around me at all times everytime,,this is why i run two mirrors also i would never consider the vespa on the freeway even between two exits,,,75-80 is the order of the day,,,and finally we motrcyclists are more aware of bikes and our surroundings when we drive 4 wheels more than the average schmo,,, Exactly, I would never take Rocket to Binghamton on the interstate, that's a 65 mph road. Here it's only 55, the same as the State Roads. More power is NEVER the answer. Knowing your surroundings, constant monitoring and being aware is. Mo Power? Have to disagree with ya there. Making a vehicle pass on the Scoot takes a Half hour or so putting you in blind spots for extended periods of time. On my Blade i set up a four wheeler several length's back and make sure first I can see the driver and he can see me in his mirror. Once Im confident I just think of the Throttle on the Blade, Squirt and make the pass, spending as little time possible keeping myself in blind spots. When In Doubt Throttle Out! Or Follow me Pass Me Just Get Off My Corners!! Just not following the Comparison of 60's 5,000lb cars with Big Block's to 70's Yota's, Datsun's and Honda's. Maybe compare Horse Power to Weight Ratio be Mo Better? Or better a 1967 GT500 Mustang to the? was Yota here in 67? |

That sounds like a good solution and I might be wrong but don't the expanding clamps act like shock absorbers? It would seem to me that vibration might become a problem later. Correct or they actually had bar end weights. I had them in my OE Streetfighter bars. Trying a plethora of Bars with CRG Bar end mirrors before I could get Renthal Road bars in the States I never noticed a difference. May be a issue on a different animal. Ride On! Clone |

Most of the time the horses get killed or maimed and they have to put out of their misery. Alleyoop True Dat. I have closed on them at nigh not realizing the red tail lights in front was a Buggy. Scary once I realized how close I came to cleaning them out from behind. |

yes constantly monitor the surroundings,,head swiveling at all times i want to know exactly who is around me at all times everytime,,this is why i run two mirrors also,,,i just got the second one on yesterday,,i missed it as i use them constantly,along with head turns,,and i always leave an out,,and also the way people drive around here,,i was and still am a little leary of getting a 50,,just not fast enough,,,45mph roads which are 75% of secondary roads around here i'm doing 50-55 cars are passing me like i'm changing a flat,,,i would never consider the vespa on the freeway even between two exits,,,75-80 is the order of the day,,,and finally we motrcyclists are more aware of bikes and our surroundings when we drive 4 wheels more than the average schmo,,, Dito That!! Enjoyed many Morns. on the 101 and the 405. Holly Schmolly! traffic would go from 3mph to 85+ in seconds bumper to Bumper Door handle to Door handle and me driving a Clapped out Company Van just trying to stay the heck out of the way. Then Watch Out! A Bike would lane split right up between doing a Buck Ten. A small cc scoot on the highway reminds me of being back in Amish country closing in on a Buggy. amazing more of them don't get killed. |
