When To / When Not To

[Ugarte]

A 16tooth front sprocket will help with the high rpm's and oil consumption at high speed. 75 to 80 mph is just fine on mine even without the 16t.

We have inadvertently hijacked pianoman's thread....sorry pianoman....I'll pm you later flip re:klr's and sidecars.....definitely interested....

Back to waving.....

I used to be a nice guy and wave to everybody, now I deliberately don't wave back sometimes just to be mean........I then laugh as I ride on thinking that the dissed rider is all pissed off and will probably post on some forum about what a jerk I am.......what's wrong with me......I need help.....oh there's Mr. Jim Beam......

Especially cops on motorcycles. They wave at me.

Sometimes me and my friends will all throw our left hands up high and wave like hell just to make the people we are passing wonder what kind of idiots we are. We have also put our left legs up and waved with them like I have heard the Aussie riders used to do. [Except with their right legs, harder to wave with your hand when you ride on the wrong side of the road.]
