Last known to be testing undersize bald treaded motorbike tyres.
Perhaps he went to see Jobst.

Better cornering grip than most exotic cars, but thanks for asking.

Did break the rear wheel [1] loose under throttle, but here is the
reason for that:http://image.sportrider.com/f/905395..._03_z+real_wor...


Is that front tyre meant to be on the wrong way around?

Correct according to the sidewall arrows. Works well enough to do
stoppies in the dry.

That'll be why it's that way around, not to improve wet cornering grip
but to hold together when the nutter thinks he's a circus act.

You do know you have to get your chin on the tank to outbrake regular
saloon cars? With sports cars, you're history, Don't get so close,
it takes you longer to slow for them bends.

Uh Trevor, the CBR600F4i is *not* some rattly Trumpet or Beezer with a
front drum brake that you rode during your misspent youth. Stopping
distances are shorter on a modern sport-bike than any cars that do not
produce significant aerodynamic down-force.

Car brakes have improved too. As much as to be able to lock up the
brakes in the dry at 100mph. You'll overturn your bike before making
the same deceleration as a car. You will decelerate at the same speed
as the car after you put your head through the rear screen.

Converts to a unicycle with abrupt use of the hand controls.

much as I did, but he was at least a good sport about it. That is quite
rare

I am a universalist, not a liberal.


You are a universal nut case.

What's with this motorcycle business? It has been my experience that once
anyone gets into motorcycles, that is the end of any bicycling.

I suspect that are plenty of motorcycle newsgroups available on Usenet.
However, I don't think those groups will be as accepting of your
liberal-socialist-communist views as these cycling groups were. On the other
hand, they might very well appreciate your anti-Jew (anti-Zionist)
sentiments more.
