Good thing he's got those sliders on. Wouldn't want to scratch anything. The tools look nicely secured also. They'll never fall off.

 

[Bearly Flying]

Give the Guy credit,,, If it worked for him......So much the better......

At least he tried to do something to address his fuel mileage range.

 

[Bounce]

That's what we're all talkin' about. It's an extension of the gas tank -- a big block welded to the top. I really like the idea.

one good emergency stop and you might end up with an open book pelvic fracture.

No, no.... John is not a dumb guy. He was likely working on the bike (or whatever), and just temporarily stashed his tools there. Obviously, he doesn't go around riding like that....

Looks like it was taken off the set of an old MAD MAX movie.

That is Johns bike.. He is a great guy. I really like his style, and enjoy talking with him. I was invited to his house in Jersey a month or two ago. I wish I could of made it out there, he is a cool guy to hang out with. More down to earth than most of the LD guys... Smitty

He is a good guy... he and I chatted at length at the '07 'Butt headquarters. He is a very easy-going individual. B)

I saw that thing the other day in Ephrata, PA. He said the tank is good for 500m taking it easy. It was the dirtiest bike there, but the pirates had lots of questions about it. 97,000 miles and counting.

He also employs 'electronic counter-measures' front & rear -- I asked him about the little rectangular things on the rear (by the lic. plate) and front (under the frng) and he assured me that they work.

 

[Martin S]

iirc i saw that bike at my local dealership, action yamaha in metuchen, nj

NIce guy or not, someone should call PETM on him:

People for the Ethical Treatment of Motorcycles.

 

[FJrider1]

[zorkler]

I don't know how much I can say publicly?; other than they may rhyme with phazer and hammer....

I think, if you really want to know more, you should try to contact Mr. Ryan directly.

When I asked him about them, he wasn't shy in describing their function and abilities.

If your talking about laser jammers, they are technically legal to have. No need to worry about being sneaky about it. Escort makes one that is suppose to be really good called the ZR4. I've never tried one, but from what I've heard it works.

Now if your talking about radar jammers, those are quite illegal and can land you in some serious hot water. They are illegal because you have to be licenced to transmit microwave signals, which is what in essence you have to do in order to jam radar. I don't know the exact fine, but I remember hearing it was in the the five to six figure range.

I count John among my friends and at the checkpoint in the 07 Butt he was sitting out there in the rain with me changing rear tires. The next morning he was sitting there with me again trying to fix my **** up in putting the tire back on without all the spacers. He is a little "different" by most peoples standards but then to do some of the **** we do many of us are a bit wacked out.

I will also say that John is one guy who can turn in 1500 mile days over and over. He has phenomenal physical stamina and is quite an imposing guy. not sure which will fare better if he dumps that bike - him or the tank. I will sy I would much rather see a more "standard" addition of aux fuel but John seems to like it.

That bike is a purpose built machine. Function over form.
