what to doo next? now wheelie humor
Rev,
Come on - you know it can be done. Remember the eBay ad for the "very
special" exhaust system a few years ago. The one that gave so much
power you could "get a whilly in every gear!" That line has caused
great hilarity at times, as you can imagine.
The hardest thing is getting the BMW to countersteer. I tell you, that
shaft drive just makes the thing so hard to ride. It took me years to
learn to countersteer, and now I have a bike that can't countersteer
or wheelie!
I actually have a set of the USD forks somewhere in the shop. I stare
at them from time to time. KLRCary has a set of conventional 43's on
his bike. He says they are the bomb. I have a couple of sets of those
looking me in the eye, too. I was thinking a drop in thing, since
these forks are cheap on fleabay......
We're all glad you made it back. I'm 50% back...
all the best,
Mike
