95 to 110? I thought you were talking HIGH SPEED, not Cruising speeds

Oh my gosh! Maybe that's why my seat seem so hard after only a few miles. Think I could be leaking?? Acutally, I don't take Viagra. I am 64 and it all me! I only use what God gave me. ----- And remember, "What God give you, he can take away! Slowly by surly! Now you know what a...

5600+ hits on this thread and only 226 riders mature enough to respond with a comment? I know that out of 5600+ hits more than 226 riders can read and write. (spelling is a different matter) After all, this is a FJR site not a HD site. (Just kidding) This is becoming one of the longest (and...

It doesn't make any differece if the ground hits the jumper or the jumper hits the ground, it's going to be bad for the jumper! CK :alcoholic:

As superman, I'm just trying to figure that out --------32 fps. 1200' tall hmmmmmm, I would hit the ground in ----. FOOLED YOU ALL ! Remember, I can fly. I would just fly away. CK

WOW, what a great explanation. You should apply for a job at Wikpedia! Thanks for the corrections to Wikepedia's explination. You are correct. The majority of the roads I have been on are the back country and rural roads. I have been on some 6 lane roads in and around London. They were...

Right on old chap and all that English stuff. Sorry to step on your toes. I have only visited England and the other parts of the British Isles 6 or 7 times over the last 30 years. I was just putting in my 2 cents (pence), worth to you. If you will re-read the last line in my post, it says...

I hate to disagree, but hold on there big fellow. :stop: I just got back from a trip to the British Isles. This trip I was in Ireland and Scotland. The last two trips were to England. 1. Their "Dual Carriage Ways" are about as good as our interstates, certianly no better. They are Very...

First, Your saying 130 mph. I'm saying 145. Second how do we know he was going 130? I've seen many who think they fell off at a higher rate of speed than they actually did. Second you said "notice the lack of a race track in the background" Yes, I also (as I said before) I see the lack...

Are you implyng "we old guys are just holding on by a THREAD?" CK

I would ask that you re-read the post I made. I made it clear there are different circumstances in racing and highway riding. To go off a bike at 130mph on a race track is quite different than a highway. You yourself said your friend didn't stop bouncing and sliding until the end of the...

Being stupid at 45 is just as risky as being stupid at 145. Doesn't mean everybody that does 145 is stupid, and definitely doesn't mean everybody who never goes over the speed limit is smart. I agree with your statement to a point. You pay a MUCH larger price for being stupid at 145 than 45...

I don't get it about the "GAP"? I'm sure it's fantastic, BUT, everyone post photos and statements: ie: "I 72 year old tames Gap", I conquered the gap!, Love the Gap, Fantastic gap" etc. Now don't get me wrong. But we have several roads in the west. HW 12 from Lolo, Mt. to Lewistown, Id...

From what I hear as to where we all like to ride. (out in the boonies) it would only take about 2 days walking to get to a computer. Not too good an Idea. How about a key taped inside your boot top?? For a KICK start?? CK DAMN!!! A CHEVY BIKE. I WANT ONE! I would just love a bike...

And in reality, the physics of falling off at 145 aren't much different than at 70 if you are wearing the right gear for the task. Racers do it all the time. Only difference I can see between going down at 145 vs 70 (If you have the right gear on is) at 70 you only need one box to be buried in...

YOU STILL HAVE NUTS!!! :yahoo: CK

GET BOTH OPERATIONS! WORRY ABOUT PAYING FOR THEM LATER. IF YOUR IN GOOD HEALTH, YOU WILL HAVE A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK! THINGS HAVE A WAY OF GETTING BETTER. GET THE OPERATIONS! BOTH OF THEM! ck

Sorry to tell you son, but the way the this country and the world are going, you may not be around to be 60! CK

I really don't think riding a bike has anything to do with practicality. If one was practical they would never have a bike. It's just not Practical. CK

Just glue your bag to the tank with contact cement and you will never have to worry about scratches again or having your bag fall off your bike! :rolleyes:
