Re: How do you know if you are overheating?

I had a 5 or 10hp leaf blower engine seize on me when i was a kid. I'll never forget that sound.

Re: R90SS Better brakes and ride?

You are the first person who accused the R90S of being nimble. He said "nibble". That must be a technical term describing that sideways chatter in tight turns. I am an idiot. I don't know how I read nimble when it clearly said nibble. The R90S with the LWB and super heavy front end is any...

Re: Anybody want a race bike?

Sometimes it's advisable to just stand back and say " Wow, what a really neat sow's ear!" and forget all about the silk purse thing. But for that money, I'm wanting the very best in sow's ears!
