Speedracer what you are saying is so true, if people don't understand that well it is because they lack experience. Strange but flying a microlight works the same, push bar to right, craft goes left

Tonya one of your questions was taking off from a complete stop. I can say don't lift your feet off the ground until you have given power because it is the power that pulls the vehicle upright. My little sis made that mistake of taking her feet off the ground first then apply power because at that time the bike was falling over already. The other common mistake when pullin off and turn is that you get a freight and then close the throttle, this immediately lets gravity take over and down you go, so when you pull off and turn, give power, raise your feet lean slightly over into the turn and go, do not close the throttle when turning slowly unless your balance is good.

Sorry if I must be different here but that pink doesn't do it for me. It's too light a pink. Anyway a nice pink panther on the side might fix it.

I will remember the name. It reminds me when I was a child and Chevrolet (the big ones not these little ones that are produced in England) was a bigger name here in SA than today, there was a tv ad that went like this: Biltong, braaivleis sunnyskies and chevrolet.
Biltong is jerky (dried meat) braaivleis is a barbeque. Send me a pic of a Silverado then.

Say fairweasel I'm looking past your scoot and the big pot to that stunning truck of yours. I have a daughter living in Arlington VA and the plans are to join her in the US in about four years or so. Must get one of those when I get there. How bout some pics of your truck?

When I do about 75 mph I am touching 70k. I have no idea on weight of rollers. I would like my rpm down a bit at that speed but i do not want to sacrifice on hills ability which is actually good as well.
Why are sliders better than rollers?

Thanx Cruiser I checked mine today and I'm sort of happy. I was just wondering, if you are a little low on volts why not switch main lights off when its safe to do so, just every now and then. Those little bits could just help the battery. (might damage the switch though I guess)
