Who's bike is this, and with the seat position set rearward, is the normal shift lever arrangement at all awkward to operate?


No, it is not awkward to ride -- I rode it last year and for a triple the handling was superb....I didn't push it too hard though, couldn't deal with bringing back to John in pieces..... :shifty:

We were up on the skyway yesterday. Boy these guys can roll some asphalt. :thumbup:

I was a little slower than most. Seemed my handling wasn't as good as there's going around corners. I mentioned to Jim and John the bike seemed to be handling funny at those high speed corners. Then I got to looking at my tire last night. :roll: Looks like I figured out why I felt a little insecure. Tire was sliding a bit around the turns. There's some scalping on the tire and you can see where I was riding on the tire.

Shift return spring broke. He's getting it fixed before going to the skyway.

Just a cheap Cheng shin. Seems last year the same thing happened only not as bad. At first I thought it was a trailing issue last year, till this year. :roll: should have changed it out last year by I decides to push it another. :banghead

Yes they do. I haven't looked at them all but they have a nice broad side photo, showing some premo chamber work. ;)

It was nice riding and visiting with you all. I really enjoyed it. Good fellowship and some excellent machines. :thumbup:
