You want to know what’s really funny, you couldn’t find the article I referenced in post#36.”Torque engines make lots of torque low in the rpm band while horsepower engines make gobs of torque on the top-end.” The diifference is night and day in what we’re talking here. Street machines or racing machines. The example I gave of the HD that did the Drag launch (no wheelie bar) at the stoplight is a far cry different machine than the road racer you are talking about. I guess you missed the part too where I said “best” handling bike I’ve ever ridden. Reminds me of the early SL350 Honda bike that I owned, one that was used often in the circuses during it’s era because of it’s perfect rake and trail. It was positively scary to ride certain street ricers of that day, purely straight line machines for the most part. As far as the rest of your screed here, it’s just more BS and misdirection and no longer worth my time. Your quote “And you want to talk about the posters on this thread not even knowing what counter steering in a curve is?” My exact quote “More than half of the clueless young riders I’ve come across don’t know squat about counter-steering.” Detail has always defined a good engineer. Good night.

I didn't even look. Common courtesy requires that you link to the article you are directing me to.
But you don't even know how to link an article, do you? LOL I should have known that a guy who doesn't know that his 50 hp motorcycle is not a speed machine wouldn't know how to link an article. The only reason I even responded to your original post was because you were rude while at the same time being hysterically ignorant and I was looking for a bit of amusement - which I surely found!
Just to summarize your rudeness and hilarity for you:
Rude:
"My old ‘86 4 speed chain drive Sportster is more than half the “experts” here could handle."
and you followed that up with this belly buster:
"It clearly will jerk a knot in your *ss if you can ride it"
That is just funny as hell coming from a wanna-be riding a 50 hp dog.
"if you can ride it" -- Seriously dude, you are full of yourself, aren't you?
You need to keep hanging out with the weekend warriors and stay away from the real riders that know what they're talking about and ride serious road machines. 50 hp? -- Jerk a knot in your ass!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
