You guys use your rear brake much?

LOL lshark, I had forgotten about that, used to do it with my Bug, what fun!

 

When I was in School up in
Pa There was a group of us car skiing in the parking lot. Some rich douche showed up in his mom or dads now mustang and lost control.... Long story short he drove right through the double doors and into the halls. the next day they had it all boarded up and we had to move or fun nights up to Wally-World.

 

Is the point system still in effect these days? cause that would be an easy way to rack em up.
I earned 80 points doing a donught throught the parking lot when I took out 6 Handi-fat people and 8 fuuk-tards. in one swoop....

 

watch out for those manhole covers !!!

 

The point system has never gone out of effect nor has the color part of that system. Red still gets ya bonuses.

All this put your little foot shit makes me think that some dudes have never ridden a bike that shifts and brakes on the "wrong side" shifts up then down or a tank shifter. The real fun is on some old Indians (bikes, in case the resident perves get all excited ) that have the throttle on the left..

 

that was the spark advance on the left

 

Are those VFRs with the kickstand on the right still being sold in the US? I thought most of them went to Canada..

 

We are talkin old Indians and maybe old perves too. Some Harleys, 60's 883 Ironheads for sure, with magnetos had the spark advance and retard on the stock left bar. The factory roadrace left bar was not set up for the advance/retard grip and had to be machined.

 

Did that mself once. Got off the bike and down it went. Had an audience too.. Caught it just before it landed full force and either cracked a rib or stretched some intercostals..


Things do get by me. For instance, kickstands seem to be on the left on bikes. The usual mounting procedure is to lift then swing one's right leg over the bike. Dogs do the same thing when they pee. This either makes all dogs right handed or we are related to dogs more than we think. Next, why the hell doesn't somebody breed miniature cats?

 

Fresh dim sum

 

I'm way late to this thread, but I do use the rear brake. It doesn't really do much, but what I think it does is settle the bike for a smoother stop. It seems like there is less fork dive when using the rear brake.

But all in all, what with the weight transfer to the front tire during braking, the back brake is only marginally useful.

 

the back brake is effective when you spot that radar speed trap and need to scrub some mph without the telltale headlight dive

 

anyone who has driven a semi will attest to how the rear brake stabilizes the vehicle during braking...this is why the LBS has a delay valve which applies the rear brake slightly sooner than the front

 

Dim sum is when Volfy is trying to justify his sales numbers using Canadian money.

 

Still going at it, BB? I know women hold a grudge when you have sex with them and then don't answer their call, but most give up after a while. We should call you the Energizer Playboy Bunny.

Tell you what... if it makes you feel any better, I'll let you strap it on this time, so you'll feel like a man. :kiss:

 

A complete sale with all the farkles would include drugs, booze and snoose.

Speaking of Playboy, I read a joke in there once about a dude who was asked in a job interview if he was gay. He told the interviewer that the best answer he could give was to let him have his wife for the night and she could answer for him.

Do you really have one of those strap on gadgets? Does it have real buckles or are they using Velcro now?

 

You know more than I do. Whatever tickles your fancy.

 

I agree. My faves are feathers if you must know.
