Owner used to have sports bikes, look at that exhaust!

I’m sure the trailer will be fine. It’s not like you’re going to carry tons of weight for tons of miles doing tons of speed over tons of potholes.

Sure did! you can both agree that the Earth has been around for tons of years.

Yes, like I said. To you a ton is a figure of speech for a lot of something.

In the town where @Marcel lives, a ton is apparently a thousand of anything, Grams, kilograms, pounds, ounces, meters, etc.. doesn’t matter, it’s a figure of speech. A shit ton is what they call an Indian Motorcycle.

Shiny expensive yellow things in my car’s boot

He’s using Canadian tonnes

What about one of those things that lock the front wheel on? Fixed onto the floor.

Better to drill through and have a proper nut and spacer on the other side of something metallic, no?

Moved the creation romance to here.

Because

OOO!

My Touratech shocks exhibit signs of wear where there should be once opened for service, at 70.000km, I'm quite disappointed with this. I won't put them back on the bike, since they're now with fresh seals and oil I'll either sell them or contact Touratech if I can find an invoice from 5 years ago. Picking my new shocks tomorrow. They're golden and Swedish.

I think you have settled the debate, Marcel.

Took an ambulance ride just now, a 91 year old lady fell down on the cobblestone street in front of Sofia’s practice and might have fractured something on her hip or leg. She was so scared to be by herself I came along for company.

You are the one talking about performance being important for touring bikes.

If you go that way, your 44k bike is also slow compared to a 90s japanese bike you can get for a 10th of the cost. You’re talking about touring bikes that weight half of the moon, who cares? The key to happiness is liking what you have and stop trying to prove others wrong.

Flavoured whisky beverage?

I don’t get cnn here. It’s in the Portuguese publications!

I said mounting points, or brackets. Use the weight for something instead of ballast. I hear the Indian frames are prone to cracking, so they could use some strength.

With the way they have those barges developed, it’s silly to need ballasts. Just beef up a few mounting points and that’s it.

Sleeping in a cold trailer in the snow sounds glamorous!

I was searching to see if I had created a thread about my suspension back in the day. I came across this gem of a thread instead, so decided to bump it
