Wow just went out and got a good work out run between the rain storms
Up the mountain we went ........... I simply cannot believe the difference
taking off the old heavy pipes has made ........ puuuuhhhh........ she's
much more nimble and easy to lean over in the twisties , even straight
line the whole bike just feels noticeably lighter....... A LOT more than I
would have even guessed it would and these are just my temp pipes the
new ones I'm ordering will be way lighter even more.

WOW ...... those stock pipes are beastly heavy indeed.

 

Now maybe Sprockie will be able to keep up.......................well, maybe

 

When I pull the 18 tomorrow and shove the 16 on there ........................
It'll be like ...... engage the warp drive ....... see ya later ........ zazzzoommm

Got to have her tip top for some up coming rivalry here and elsewhere too

 

Careful with all that power - you ole fellas have to watch it...............
I'll send you a 15 front if you like, then you'll know what OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT TTTTTTTTTTTTT really means !!!

 

LOL...... with the 44 on back ....... that would be a hoot

 

As I recall the late Tim Wilkinson ran a 14 or15/46 and was able to flatten Gixxers up to about 120MPH !!
Make sure you take your wakeup muti (medicine) before you do all this, old geezer - wouldn't want you to do yourself a mischief....................

 

Maybe that is why my bike is handling so good. I go out and we have the traffic circles here and down the road. It might be a combination between the tires and the lighter exhaust too. Cause I know when I went out the first time after it warmed up and with the new tires and the new exhaust that I put on this winter it was like WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW. These tires, but maybe it is the combo

 

What's the difference in the weight? I wouldn't think can weight would make a noticeable difference.... ?

And sprock, you're gonna kill your highway riding and mpg..... oh wait, you trailer your bike.

 

+!000

 

First up Indy it is these tires ......they are waay better than Trouts


Second Trout ........ nobody really notices you anyway, so what is noticeable
in your opinion really does not count ....... cuz usually most of what you
think is well ......... yawn .......... quite simply boooorrrrring .

So sonny, GranPa Pete has just given me a good idea ..... next stop sprocketcenter.

BTW Doug , all those cases and trunks ......one step short of a trike ??

Lately all my threads go to mush when Super Mod shows up
