You consistently post like someone who just landed on earth yesterday Toe Rag posted:I've seen an XR1200 at the track before, but that isn't very surprising I guess. Also saw this once. He was not slow! Another one of those drastically overstated things that stopped being true some time in the 90's.

Really? I thought it was still a thing. If you google it the first few results are people talking about it on their '09 or or even '13 model years, but I suppose they could have other problems as well and just assume it's innate.

Harley people are famous for their incisive analysis of bike handling dynamics, it's true

In a less snarky way: the old twin cam dyna had the engine mounted to the frame and the swingarm mounted to the engine. If the bushes involved in this area in poor shape it is possible to get a wobble but you also have to rule out the half dozen other things about a stock dyna that make it wobble first. I have never seen someone who a. can ride for poo poo and b. has a nuclear grade dyna ever even mention it, they're usually preoccupied with finding more ground clearance turning left and keeping their engine alive longer between rebuilds.

Got back from a weekend at the in-laws. Father in law is currently big into the TW200, and did a conversion I've never seen before, but is apparently pretty popular with the hardcore t-dub crowd: He's replaced the rear wheel with a trailer wheel and stuck a side-by-side tire on it. The center is cut from a TW200 stock wheel, and he fabbed the converter himself, but the process has become popular enough that people are building kits for it. To hear him tell it, the benefits are a disk brake on the rear, tubeless tires, and a far wider selection of more dirt-oriented tires. I have no idea how it affects handling, but I assume it's similar to darksiding.

I enjoy the dichotomy of brembo brakes and what appears to be a nut welded onto the footpeg bracket serving as an anchor point for the subframe. Lots of subframe fuckery today, is it a full moon?

The bar attached to the passenger footpeg bracket that goes behind the side luggage plate? That's just a reinforcing rod for the rear luggage rack, they're pretty bouncy stock. Now what IS fun is his custom built linkage for the rear brake pedal. Apparently mounting the master cylinder vertical like that was the only way he could get it to fit.

 I missed 69 and 420 and 1234, but I got the Star Trek number.Took a quick ride to Vernonia after work, taking a different route there than I did back. Took a lot of the turns a good 10mph than I did the last time I rode there. I can feel my improvements, but I’m still just a novice.

   I want it. I want it bad. I think this is the air/oil cooled one, but i didn't spend enough time peeking through the fairings to see if it had a standard radiator or not.

Portland's dry season has arrived, so I took the Monkey to work. So much more uh connected to the road! I love this thing. Can't speed much, can't pass, but I love it.

I prefer the sharp edges on the case covers vs the rounded style on the RD350. It could use a disk brake up front.
