BMW Telelever forks didn't come out until the early '80s. This bike has a "Earles"-type fork, which was developed in England & used by BMW & MV Agusta from the early '50s through the late '60s. It was mainly designed to work well for sidecar duty.

Or, make up a REAL gun mount! ROCK YOUR GLOCK! :rockon:

Wow! I dressed my paintball mask up Predator-style with paint and camo-dreadlocks, but this is way-cooler! Bravo!

If I'm not mistaken, ABS is supposed to be standard on all road-going motorcycles over 600cc here in the U.S. by 2014. Not a bad thing, me thinks. Although I've never ridden a bike with ABS, I'm told it greatly reduces accidents.

I love it; a "Stig" keychain! :BLAA:

I've got Graves block-off plates on my '09 & whole mess removed with connector unplugged & dangling. Never had a problem starting. Seems to be only '06 & older.

Bump :popcorn:

I don't like the way most drive-by-wire systems feel (although in my '07 Hyundai Sonata I4 it is seemless, the V6s are mush more abrupt. I do, however, understand why they're using it. It's cheaper to manufacture, dodn't have to have separate cruise control actuator, makes it possible to add...

I know several people, personally & on other forums, who have "gone to the Darkside" & none have ever come back. I had made up my mind to do it on my Road Star next tire change until I decided I wanted to sell it to buy my current FZ6. When you ride a 800 lb cruiser putting over 100 ft/lbs of...

Any update?

I recently attended the 2012 Vintage Festival at Barber's Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL & had a wonderful time. It was sponsered by Triumph & was the best festival yet! Triumphs everywhere, along with booths by Motus & EBR (Erik Buell Racing) all showing off their new bikes. The EBRs were...

Tupelo, MS: 1) Birthplace of Elvis Presley. Learned to sing in black part of town called "Shake Rag", bought his 1st guitar in Tupelo Hardware (still in business & owned by same family) 2) 2nd largest furniture manufacturer in US (Highpoint, NC #1) 3) "Machine Gun" Kelly's last bank...

Wow! Amazing detail! I was thinking to myself, "Wouldn't it be cool if one of these model planes actually took off?" Then they did! :rockon:

I can vouch for "fmf" on this, in MS it's a joke. They check to make sure you didn't ride your bike down without a shadow (if you did, they issue you a ticket & make you haul your bike away), check for current insurance & inspection sticker, and make you ride to the end of their parking lot &...
