Why not a knuck? Even a Pan is kinda appliance-bike by comparison!
My interest in the motorcycle, I suppose, originates with my long held view that more folks should turn to two-wheeled vehicles as an alternative to...
... Al, I like this sort of bike too. Other alternatives are small dual-sport bikes like the Honda CRF230M, Yamaha XT250 and Kawa Super Sherpa or KLX250,...
My one excursion into Harleyland to the contrary notwithstanding, I'm fundamentally a light bike guy. Not for economy, a light bike (or car, or airplane) can...
... Friend of mine got one of these for his daughter. It is a phenomenal bike and would make a terrific clubmans spec racing class. If I were still into sport...
I didn't own the Metralla, but had pretty free use of it. This was in Germany in '67. (Package tour, I was the package) We ran unofficial (and illegal) club...
I'm apparently a "contrarian" when it comes to Japanese bikes. Everything that others consider their strengths, I have no desire for. The whole "sewing...
Well, I cant top that mate, well written! Im a "fool" in my own many folks eyes and I know it and dont give a damn! I have £5500 to spend from the sale of my...
... They dont do it for me Pete, anyway in the UK theyre as rare as rocking horse shit! But... I am working on the bride, logic being, a shovel is the devil, ...
Hi The new ones(sportsters)run good and handle good but that little bitty gas tank. It only has a couple of gallons, about a 100 miles Jeri ... From: Pete...
... My first Harley was a 2002 1200S model Pete, fully adjustable suspension fore and aft, and a tuned engine from the factory. She put out around 70bhp, more...
I think they're made of "Porkium." They've done a nice job on the XR1200; http://www.harleydavidson.com/wcm/Content/Pages/2009_Motorcycles/2009_Motorcycle ...
IMHO, a 10% weight reduction does you far more good than a 10% power increase. The power increase is only there at WOT. Below that, a guy with less power can...
... With one exception, and that is riding a bump. That's why Buicks and Continentals ride so much better than MGs and Rabbits. Suspensions can help, of...
Well, Pete, as you know, the Sporty was designed specifically to compete with the Britbikes, to the extent that, alone among V twin Harleys, the early ones had...
Al, I recognize that market segment, but I'm not part of it. However, I do see that market being addressed currently in the upsurge of scooters like Vespa and...

I rather like the idea of an electric motorcycle. I fancy the idea of using solar charging with it. Since I don't ride, or even drive, every day, I could...
I got to look (and sit) at one at the cycle world show last week. Size wise it's about as high as the Bullet. About the same weight. Since I was old (and the...
I Like the TU250.It looks like a nice general puttabout street bike. I also like my 2007 Yamaha XT225. It's a dual sport and gets fantastic gas mileage...
