Judging by all the 2000 series bikes, you go through about 5 a year. I'm trying to, the hard part is blowing them past the old lady.

:thumbup Really, There could be clip-ons...But Mountain riders are smart enough to know, (because the conditions/situations they ride on/in, that clip-ons aren't your friend in nasty times)...

They aren't your friend on the public road, period. On the public road, nasty is always a possibility either from the road surface or what a mentally ill or distracted driver might offer.

The Bay Area provides risks that are almost the greatest to deal with...Certainly so high that higher becomes moot...If you can ride safe in the Bay Area traffic, it's safe to say Ya can ride safe anywhere.

This going off on a tangent of number of bikes ridden...that a couple of members, have introduced, is the height of silly...it ignores how a rider rides, those bikes, But Ignoring is what riders that can't ride worth a crap..Do,
that is why they don't get it..They practice not getting it. :laughing

OK Lou. What are you talking about?
 
6, Lou is my brother from another mother and father. I still don't know what he, or you, for that matter, are saying.

Nice day for a ride though. Its about 72 degrees right now.

If I said it any clearer, I'd expect to get banned :laughing

I have to reduce it to ...

When it doubt, gas it.
Wheelie for safety (that applies to going up and down stairs, Ya sure don't want to complicate the bikes behavour with a front wheel bouncing, by touching stairs).

When a rider learns how to ride..They learn how to see.
What they see tells them what to do, to handle what they see.
They have learned how to tell their bike what to do.
They have "how to recover" ingrained into their subconscious to go into effect, before conscious thought struggles with it.

Then there are No "pucker" moments..No apprehension..No Fear. :thumbup

I sold mine in pieces, after wrecking it. I've occasionally regretted selling the other one that I had. Or at least not buying it back after the neighbor that I sold it to sold it after a year. But I have not regretted not buying another one. After a few years on an ST2 I finally realized that I really didn't want another Monster.
 
Okay, I'm going to be perfectly honest here: I can get on just about any bike, from a Ducati Panigale to a 127" rigid chopper and pretty much be railing it in short order. Yeah. But not this bike. I am having a bitch of a time figuring out how it works and how to best exploit it.
 
Fine Italian women are demanding Beau.

Tell her what the fuck to do.. and demand it. Yeah.. it take ballz, but she will do it.
Perhaps some suspension love my be needed.

My 998 was something completely different.. when I decided you will be my bitch.. she was very happy to be such. G'luck.
 
Really? I've ridden a few Hypers and thought they were very easy to ride, but then I grew up on dirt bikes. The one Superduke I rode felt cramped, but I did like the motor.

I wound up buying a Multistrada for the versatility.
 
How much do you weigh? Most Hypermotard forks are severely undersprung. They are set up for people of Nicky Hayden's size and mass. I'm 6'2" and 200#, so I'm getting Andreani cartridges with stiffer springs.

Stock: 0.66
For my weight, recommended is: 0.9

Shazam. I'm just over 200 in gear. Maybe that's it.
