At about 5:30 he actually rides it.

^ AND, two O2 sensors.

You can run what ever you want but know the facts. Fact is (not my opinion), thermodynamics is at play here. A diesel works by squeezing an air/fuel mixture to the point where it reaches a pressure, creating heat at which it spontaneously ignites. Diesels operate at 15:1 to 20:1 compression...

The Ryker is slightly heavier, has larger frontal area and more tire friction with three large contact patches. Try pushing the s10 around in the driveway and then the Ryker. I'll bet there is more rolling resistance with the Ryker. That with the larger frontal area will increase fuel usage...

There are some pretty impressive scores here. LOL

Tire longevity is directly proportional to the right wrist angle.

Here in the states, in 1996 congress passed a law stating the all vehicles should get 50 mile on reserve. Before that, it was like the wild west and it varied from vehicle to vehicle leaving people stranded. With that said, I can tell from this thread, not many of you are familiar with what I...

That's exactly what I do. I know the thread is a few years old but It need to be seen again.

I have been camping and pulling stakes every day for the last two weeks on a 4,619 ride. What made this possible is a battery bank I picked up on Amazon for $172 USD. I also had to purchase the adapter for my CPAP separately from Amazon for an additional $35 USD. I installed a USB charger under...

Just before launch.

Got my bike three weeks ago and did a 4,619 mile ride with the Sargent. Its very hard. I got home a week ago and I still feel the pain.LOL All in all, I haven ridden with the OEM saddle but today went out and sat on it. It seams to be a bit soft and I think I made the correct decision to take...

I have to agree with the abrupt throttle response. Deep into the back country when trying to negotiate a large mug puddle that was up to the pegs, it was hard to feather the throttle in S mode. 22 miles in is no place to be laying the bike down in a mini lake. lol Due to the abrupt response I...

Many many years ago,lol, my dad was part of a group of guys that had 1967 CB450's. They were missiles back then. The girlfriend of one of the guy would always fall asleep on the back so, before heading out, the rider would zip her hands into his leather jacket pockets. (I'm in the states so...

I'm new too, so I bombed that last post.lol

^ WOW! That is really hard on the eyes to read. So sad!

Unfortunately, I agree. Modern car have all the bells and whistles. They perform as well as if not better than most MC's. When it rains the windows go up, that is, if they are ever lowered in the first place. The younger crowd wants/needs Bluetooth, AC and internet. The dedicated HD crowd (hanky...

I have to admit, when I pull the faring off my Stratoliner S and put the solo saddle on, I tell people it feels like riding a tractor. There are many nicknames for bikes. My 1979 CX500 was nicknamed the plastic maggot. I use to ride a Water Buffalo. The Buell Blast had a Harley Sprotster engine...

I thought I was the only one calling them that.

Well, there you go. You won't find the Dunning-Kruger Effect in any shop manual. LOL
