I did look at that briefly, but then I realized just getting a skidoo would probably be smarter at that point.

Phy posted:Awesome, I've never done the 99! Hope it's a good time! Here's my trip report. The 99 is a great road, with some caveats. Passing opportunities are few and far between, and the chances of getting stuck behind a slow moving vehicle like a caravan are very high, so you have to use your judgment on double yellows with reasonable sight lines. Also the pavement in places is pretty/very rough. The climb and descent out of Lillooet is very technical, but in all likely hood you're going to be doing 30km/h behind a truck towing a camper. But when you've got nobody ahead of you and some decent pavement and a twisty section, it's fantastic. The scenery is amazing, too. Once you're past Pemberton and through the Whistler traffic, it's just the sea to sky highway south to Vancouver which is nice and curvy, as highways go, but it's not the highlight.

I feel like we need a "Lonewolf and Cub" adaptation but with these two (or you know, a super cub, since that's in the name).

Random photography tip, if you really want to show off the difference in size, stand back further away from the bikes and then zoom in to fill the frame

I own a 'wing AND a GS and even I think it's ridiculous to have a cup holder mounted to the crash bars on your throttle side so you can sip a goddamned latte right-handed on your BMW with the cruise on. Most of your brakes are over there too; GSAs are pigs and that rear brake won't do much for you if you need to stop in a hurry. Ranks right up there with the local dude with an insulated cup holder mounted by the clutch lever on his Street Glide to keep his Bud Light cold between bars.

Or is that a particularly Honda affliction.

Honestly if they all worked like that I wouldn't hate them so much. I don't like it when I'm trying to drag the rear while turning at low speed and the front suddenly grabs, it's especially bad on scooters.

epswing posted:Wtf which bikes do this?? Some bikes with linked brakes activate one or more pistons in the front calipers when pressing the rear brake pedal - Goldwing, Gen 2 FJR both do. I'm sure several others do as well, those are just the two I've owned that did it.

The goldwing 1200 only activated the left front caliper with the rear brake. If you wanted the right side you had to pull the brake lever. It was dumb, but also worked

Jim Silly-Balls posted:The goldwing 1200 only activated the left front caliper with the rear brake. If you wanted the right side you had to pull the brake lever. Not sure about the 1200 but the 1100 even has different size pistons between the two front calipers. It's not terribly hard to disable the system, remove the hard line from the rear brake line joint (or replace the line from rear MC to caliper with a single line) plug the hole with a bolt with the correct thread. Then run two lines or a 1>2 from the front MC down to the calipers. The hard line between the front and back is still tucked away in the bowels of my bike, it's just not doing anything. I could always go back if I wanted. The system works ok I just like to have individual control over the brakes. It would be more difficult to defeat the linked brakes on something like a VFR800, it uses twin 6 piston front calipers with one or two pistons on each caliper activated by the rear brake MC (IIRC).

epswing posted:Wtf which bikes do this?? The bikes you can ride in several EU countries on a car license (bikes of 11kW max and/or 125cc, and perhaps some mopeds). Those people are highly likely to ignore the front brake. So many car drivers who also ride a bicycle are convinced that as soon as you hit the front, you'll go over the handle bars. If those people hop onto a motorcycle, they will likely keep that habit and slide into whatever object they gotta brake for. No idea why it's presented as an alternative to ABS though.

Hit a major milestone on the little Honda Trail 90. Takes a while to hit 10k when you average 40 mph.
