Re: Harley Davidson Dyna ride height

How very nice for you

 

You know that, I know that, everyone knows that, except Ryvita[1] whose
ignorance is simply serving as group amusement.

[1] "He takes the biscuit"[/QUOTE]

Quality. I've never heard the Ryvita one before. I still prefer to
refer to him as the know nothing **** but Ryvita is good.

 

No, he's a genuine Froot Loop, I'm afraid.Is someone killing posts in this thread? Only Ace's post has vanished
from the Goiman server, as has one of mine.....

 

About 2x the weight and 2x the HP of a good 250? Sounds like fun at the drag
strip! What is it??

The latest 'Motorcyclist' lists the following from actual measurements.
CBR600RR (03) 105.4HP & 445#
CBR1000 (04) 148.6HP & 466#
RC51 (00) 118.5HP & 489#
ZX6R (03) 107.8HP & 418#
ZX10R (04) 165.4HP & 433#
GSXR600 (04) 103.6HP &429#
GSXR1000 (05) 162.1HP & 443#
FZ-6 (04) 92.8HP & 461#
All weights are wet, 1/2 tank petrol. Number in ( ) is year model.

Which begs the question of where the 75# difference between 354 advertised
pounds and 429 measured pounds went. Perhaps the same place as Saddam's WMDs??

Funny thing guys - when that older kid disabused my 8-year-old group of the
notion that Ms Smith's front porch was our space ship we disparaged him too,
using some of the same names you are now calling me. We were really mad and
deperate to reclaim the illusion that we could cruise the universe. So I
understand how y'all folks who believe your street bikes perform like formula
bikes are feeling when you read my posts.

I'm sorry I pee'd on your parade. Ignore logic and fact and get back to your
fantasies. They're alot more fun than reality. Wish I could still join in.
Here I go on my Enfield Bullet overtaking Hailwood and Surtees .... Bwahahahaha!

 

Try a little common sense. Saddam was desperate for money to repay his Iran war
debts and would gladly have sold us or anyone else all the oil Iraq could pump.
We embargoed him, remember? Moreover Iraq is only pumping 1/3 of the oil it was
befor the attack under the UN plan. So why did Bush attack?? Ask Nick Anthony
(posted below). Like Nick, Bush believes that the revived Israel portends the
2nd coming of their messiah, so he must protect Israel. Saddam was supporting
Palistinian attacks on Israel so he had to go and Israel couldn't take him out
without the whole region going to war again. That's the best reason I've heard.
If somebody has a better one please pass it on.

Similarly, it is illogical to suppose that the Bush administration (per se) has
tortured anybody if only because, as any fool knows, torture only gets you what
you want to hear. The few incidents of torture you have raked out of your
periodicals are mostly based on flimsy hearsay - for $50 some Iraqi tells a
reporter that he heard that his aunts second cousin, twice removed, was raped
and tortured. Either that or "unnamed sources" reported it. AFAIK all proven
cases of prisoner abuse fall short of torture and even those have been punished.

 

Come on, then. This really is your chance to earn an abject apology
from me. You're the one who insisted that the Suzuki GT750 oiling
system was unique to that bike.

And I said you were talking bollocks (well, "even more" bollocks would
be accurate....) and that the same system was employed on other Suzuki
two-strokes. And you said this was wrong, because all other Suzukis
simply chucked the oil in through the inlet tract. And I repeated this
was incorrect, and gave references.

Please post any good authoritative evidence to support your claim to
the GT750's uniqueness. Should you do so, I might be tempted to view
your other pronouncements, which at present seem risible, with a bit
more seriousness.

So, I've got a hat all buttered and ready to eat, and a nice slice of
humble pie to follow.

If need be....

So generations of torturers have never, ever managed to get a true
confession.

The Spanish Inquisition must be kicking itself. Unexpectedly.

 

I've always been of the opinion that "educated" torturers could most
always get at the truth. Seems to work for Mossad.

 

Yeah well this is Europe y'ken

 

Sure. Same holds true for the TZ specs. Dry, hype.

 

Post the deficiency. Actual times in similar classes.

Of course since GP bikes are allowed far more mods than supersport,
you'll have a bit of a quandry.

I don't have a Kawasaki. I own a pig of a Triumph.

But the Yamaha has intro'd fly by wire. And the entire 600 class has
the rest. Which would make your 11 year old estimations of the class
quite moot.

Just as well. I'd imagine any or all of your students are currently on
public assistance.

I don't recall ever saying that. Since any 600 is a roadgoing
motorcycle and raced in a series which keeps it mostly stock the two
are not directly comparable.

I do however remember saying I rode both a 250 and a 600. Unlike
yourself who defers to his wife's estimations on everything[1].

And from this direct experience I did not realize any tremendous
handling advantage from the 2-smoke. The 600 had way more power in a
more useable range. You will note that all of the winning motorcycles
on the bleeding edge of racing focus their attributes on USEABLE
power.






[1] Really are you sure you're a motorcyclist or are you one of those
milquetoasts married to a closeted lebsian and pees sitting down?

 

*Nobody* expects...

 

Ol' BatWings passed away a couple of years back from some very nasty
cancer, let him stay buried.

 

Pahnd.

 

Well, they wouldn't cremate him, would they, not with all that nasty
carbon.

 

You really do know nothing.

Dry weights are that - absolutely dry. No fluids. None. No oil. No
coolant. Sometimes no fork oil and battery fluid, believe it or not. And
the bikes were weighed with half-full fuel tanks as well. And the carbs
and fuel lines would be full of fuel too.

It all adds up. Which you, seemingly, can't.

 

I remember some long-running thread where he refused to believe that a
certain model of Honda used vertcially split crankcases "because the
Japanese have gone beyond that".

He cited "friends" of his whose opinions were the same as "proof". In
the end I invited him to take a look at the bike in question....

 

To 75 pounds or more?? A (US) gallon of water weighs 8 pounds, gasoline and
oils somewhat less. "Motorcyclist" weighs the bikes with 1/2 tank of gasoline,
at most 16 to 20 pounds worth. So you are claiming that there are over 7 US
GALLONS, comprising over 50 POUNDS of oil, fork oil and battery fluid??? And
based on that you claim I know nothing and cannot add? Please get rid of that
Triumph before it kills you - I'd miss your humor!

 

No. People confessed to being visited by the devil and/or his demons - creatures
any educated person knows are purely imaginary.

That's because they seldom, if ever, use physical torture as Hank believes.
They (and US) interrogators use psychological means to attack the subjects
beliefs and loyalty to his cause and to turn him against them. Then he will
willingly give them factual information. These are essentially the same
techniques used to "deprogram" cult members so they can return to normal lives.
Some of these "means", such a sleep deprivation and exposing one's religion for
the farce it is, are considered "torture" in some quarters. I personally do not
but YMMV.
