When it comes to hair on the head, the less there is the easier it is to do almost nothing to keep looking good. Look how many guys shave their heads for the bald look. For most of us old guys, it just come naturally.
I'm thinking about getting a V100 Mandello. Now finding the funding for it is keeping me from making the transaction. I am considering selling the Grisso and the Tiger in the Spring of 2024.
Yesterday started off cold. Turned out good during the ride. Most of the time it was 43 to 47 degrees. Very sunny with clear blue sky. On final leg going home it reached 52. Very nice. Glad we went riding yesterday. Rain today. But surprisingly at 11 am it is 44 degrees.
I can't stand staying inside anymore. So I asked Jusdad to come by at noon for a ride today. It is sunny but only 34 degrees F right now. Lets hope the temp rises some more in the next hour. Going to take the Tiger 900 because it has heated grips and seat.
Torque is were it is at for me. My UPS truck has 410 HP at 1625 rpm. But the torque is 1750 ft lbs at 1075 rpm. This truck pulls triple trailers with weight average in the mid 90,000 plus range. The truck is registered for up to 129,000 lbs.
Huh ! Not impressed. My old Rocket III with 50,000 miles on it was dynoed in 2022. It put out peak power of 199.56 HP @ 7,000 rpm and 170.18 TQ @ 5,500 rpm.
Just an FYI: HP went over 150 HP at 4,700 rpm and TQ went over 150 TQ at 3,100 rpm
