BMW make wire spoked wheels that don't require tubed tires and evidently patented the design. According to Terblanche (speaking at the PS Rep launch at ...
Happy New Year All! I received a note from Clay Carrier of www.carbonfiberman.com saying he picked up a Sport New Year's Eve morning from Balz @ Aprilia/Ducati...
Robert, Excellent news for the new year!! :-) I wonder if he had a chance to look at the Smart? I know they swing arms are suppose to be identical - but it...
Hi Alex, I'll drop him a line just in case. I've already given him feedback picked up from various sources about what people seem to want. Basically they know...
Robert, Thanks for the clarification and info on the forks. I mistakenly thought that the bead of the tire had to be different to accomodate the spoked wheels....
Excellent news! Will there be an option to have one painted to match the bike? Made from fiberglass instead of CF, perhaps? I don't plan on putting any CF...
These things do paint up beautifully. Here's a picture of one of the CF MH900e huggers painted red: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bevelbob/80980008/ Not a...
I was just forwarded this tidbit from Woz - Looks like they will not be making a follow-on Paul Smart after all! I think this is definately the right way to...
Glad to hear they would paint nicely. I have a black Sport 1000 and would just want a black hugger that matches the front fender. I understand that cf weighs...
Ok - out on a limb here - but I believe ALL spoked wheels, with the exception of the BMW run tubes. I know this is the case with Harley Davidson, dirt bikes...
IMHO - the CF will match the black bike quite nicely. But if don't like it - CF paints nicely and easily. It's the best of both worlds! Strength and...
I think the black Sports are beautiful. I wish Ducati had leaned a little toward the black/gold of the late 70's 900SS and Darmahs (clearly only because I...
... model.."?? ... Me thinks that another PS1000 will come out in 07,BUUUTTT it will not have the silver/sea green paint or the ohlins front. laters Nutt...
Hmmm, a gold stripe on the Sport 1000 instead of the white stripe. Now, that would have looked awesome! Thanks again for the info. Yup, I like things to...
OK folks, Here is a pic (in the Photos section under rbapon)of my PS1000 LE taken on a very rainy day in Southern California. When the sun comes out I'll take...
Love the Smart! the Rizoma's! the 355 Spider! the Facom tool box! Wow - are you looking to adopt? :-) Ok - would you mind resizing the photo? 4.3mb is a bit...
Hi Alex, Thanks for the compliments. Unfortunately the garage is the only place the bike, car, or myself would be yesterday afternoon with the monsoon going...
Oooo.... Houston eh? How do you feel about flatland urban-sprawl gridlock and sweating a lot? Although, from AL, the sweating part will be about the same I...
Correct, Alex. Only addition that I'd want to make is that Moto Guzzi also has a spoked-wheel (design) that allows one to run tubeless. It's too hard for me to...
That's pretty cool! I've actually been looking for an Arai, Shoei, Suomi, or AGV full- face helmet in the burnt yellow color. With our without graphics. To no...
Hi Alex, No, I'm in the L.A. area. We haven't received nearly the deluge that you've been getting in Northern California, but yesterday was pretty bad. Robert...
Well - I spoke to the dealership today and My bike should be here tomorrow. YAHOO!! PS1000LE w/ Termi 2 into 1. It should have been here earlier - but with...
Alex, Have fun tomorrow and post some pics. The Termi is pretty darn quiet with the baffle in, but just loosen the one retaining screw, pull out the baffle...
Robert - I am curious to see if it will show up with or without the baffle installed. I did talk to the dealer and they told me they checked it out and it's...
