I thought your 750 was pretty cool, and I'm not really a Harley guy usually.

A few times she could have passed em. Though truthfully that's what I look like when I ride in the dirt because I've only gone dirt riding maybe a dozen times since I started riding 14 years ago.

We go over her footage and we walk the track and discuss all the improve and sustains. The big three things are throttle control, confidence to go side by side with another bike, and finding a good line. She is faster but she just doesn't believe in her abilities yet.

That Harley Wobble thing is new to me. I've ridden a number of Harleys, they all felt like they had very stable steering. The CHP issue looked like it could have been suspension rather than steering? Bouncy rear can cause a wobble when you're leaned over. The dude in the first video must have had some damaged poo poo on his bike, I have to think. Tire/wheel/steering, something. I've seen so few bikes that'll do that in a straight line at moderate speed like that, and never that bad. Seen wobbles on Goldwings a few times, and worn steering bearings on them. Bike is just too heavy for the bearings I'd say. Although we recently did the bearings on a 2004 GL1800 and the bearings were basically dry when we got in there. Dunno how they lasted as long as they did. I think it was one of the ones made in America, proper Japanese workers would never perform so badly.

A lot of the wobble on the police bikes is due to the amount of poo poo they strap to those things. I've experienced the Harley wobble, they're just much less forgiving when it comes to anything being wrong them - head bearings, flatspotted tires / pressures off, etc.

The furthest I've strayed from atgatt was italy two weeks ago when I rode a rental CB500x to portofino 45 minutes in street clothes, forma adventure lows, gloves, and a helmet. I felt naked, but it did feel really nice. I considered flip flops for like a minute but LOL NO get out of here stalker.

The BMW RNineT is the most tortured of BMW bikes. Not even the farkliest GS can stand up to how much "tuners" gently caress up those poor things. If you have a stock RNineT with low miles it'll be worth its weight in gold a few years from now, like un-mollested Supras. edit: Speaking of dumb poo poo, caught this beauty on Craigslist:  Yep, let's take a 1970 bike, slap a tiny baby-man motor in it meant for a bike like 1/3 its relative size and funeral home DJ fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Jul 5, 2017 |
