I’m ashamed to say I am going to fit a top box in the next week or two. Clearly not fashionable as I do not think I’ve seen a single pic on here with one fitted :x They seem few and far between too. Found a GIVI rack n box on eBay and that’s about it, an even that is in Germany. I suppose it’s becau...

Chain & sprockets arrive on Monday too.

So bike porn is allowed on here
That's a nice looking bit of kit

To note.... you also keep banging on about, given x tyre size and x rpm should equal x speed ! Let me just explain this one for you. Yes the maths are correct. If you jack your back wheel off the ground, you can see this is correct. However.... that is pointless and useless info, unless your intere...

Yeah I am such a tw@..... Doesn't really matter that the math and physics back up what I have to say. You guys have decided it is untrue, with no offered proof except your opinion but it is all good. I know the published papers mean nothing..... you guys have decided. It is also sad that sites like...

The difference there is unlike tire slip there is no scientific proof available for that discussion.
If folks can not accept documented facts how could they ever even think about having a conversation on an abstract topic?

Ironic

Well since you guys like to tell folks they don't have a clue....why don't you argue with these guys.... http://insideracingtechnology.com/tirebkexerpt2.htm Fig. 6.6 During braking and acceleration tires generate longitudinal force, and there is some longitudinal slip between the tread and the road...

You don't help yourself do you. you reckon your bike shows 180mph on the clock, corr look mister that clock shows 180mph it must do it then... your's is the only one. you get a bee in your bonnet and you have to be right, but your not all the time. But then again you might own the only one, from th...

I agree with your gearing theory. I tried one tooth down on the front years ago and it just doesn't work, the gearbox ratio's throw a curve as 5th and 6th especially are long, but the others are not. I then changed back and went just one tooth up on the rear, not a massive difference felt a little ...

Nope... there is without doubt something wrong. Knackered speedo or maybe kph clock or the gearing has been lowered. And this is why I really don't even bother anymore.....try to help someone actually understand what is going on and get a comments like this... Now I've only owned this bike for 22yr...
