Perhaps you should invest money and effort into grammar and spelling lessons.

Boy you edited that just in time didn't you?       

Be careful.  These guys will be waiting for you to spell someting wrong.

I know I spell like crap...So don't waste your time.

I'm no expert, but hp and torque are very different forces on a chassis.

I think it right to say that horse power isn't really a "thing" so much as it is an analog based on motion through time and distance.  Also, I think it right to say that horse power isn't really applied to the chassis, rather the force applied IS torque.

My grammar is up-to-snuff but my proofreading is not so good... .

Not trying to thread jack, but is there a thread here for Ducati dyno charts?

I would like to see what kind of torque people are putting out. I'm not a HP guy.

I just love me some grammar nazis.  Is anyone gonna point out to Wordsmith McTooTightPants that up to snuff shouldn't be hyphenated?    

Willl, if you're still following this thread and if you have any close-up pics of the swingarm on the Tim Allen bike, I'd like to see 'em.

I warned ya' karrotx.

I caught that also...texting has caused me to turn into a idiot!

I believe you meant hyphenated :p.

Edit:
Looks like you suffer from the proofreading bug as well?

I was going to comment on this, but I realize that I can in no way improve on it.

Hay Karrotx,
We should get together for dinner.

Will, nice bike. This is a tough crowd most are very passionate about  [moto] and each has his/hers own vision of the 'perfect' bike.

The one thing that would propably set most people off here is 'trailer queens', we've all seen em at shows, you wonder if they've even been started or have ever had oil in.

Give a bike with a few rock chips, bug guts, and the pipes have changed colors from getting hot.
                                                                sno_duc
             p.s. spend some time in " Accessories & Mods " I for one would value your input.

[Super T.I.B]

Pfft! 

The Christian Audiblahblah Monster is WAY better!

I saw this on a different board. With a little modding it could fit here.

Well, here's my take on Italian drivers.

Every driver in Italy, be they male or female, young or old, rich or poor; is absolutely convinced they they, too, could drive for Scuderia Ferrari in Formula 1 if only they could get a fair tryout. And they vent their frustration, demonstrating to all and sundry the raw deal they've gotten, every time they get behind the wheel. The more narrow the road, the steeper the grade, the more impossible the overtaking situation, the greater the urge to do something daring, and to do it con brio.

It's quite amazing that you don't come upon horrifying road accidents more often. When it does inevitably go wrong on the Autostrada, it goes REALLY wrong. And in typically Italian style, the cops simply shut down the whole road while they broom up the brains and eyeballs. The resulting miles of uninvolved traffic simply grinds to a halt and people turn off the motor and sleep, read, converse, stroll about and perhaps make their way to the nearest village for a refreshment if possible, knowing it's going to be somewhere between two and four hours before things get moving again.

Low-speed, non-injury crashes are another matter entirely, and clearly demonstrate the Italians' love of opera. Immediately following the crash, a crowd of eager spectators gathers. There's an opening aria by each involved driver and any passengers present, testing to see who appears to be the most aggrieved and can present their version of the crash the most dramatically.

Each driver's crowd approval rating is enhanced or diminished by various factors including their politics (as compared with the politics of the locality where the accident occurred), their appearance and their ability to hit and hold the really high notes. Bystanders enter the drama sporadically, taking one side or another, and then switching allegiances as the spirit moves them.

The eventual arrival of the local constabulary acts remarkably similarly to trying to snuff out a fire with a can of gasoline. After a big initial flare-up where everyone including people who just arrived, tries to tell their side of the story at once, the cops march someone off to the police station and the drowd gradually disperses, re-hashing the more entertaining moments from the drama just concluded.

Very Italian. Like I said, understand the culture and everything that happens on the roads makes complete sense.

First couple of lines modded


Well, here's my take on modders of Italian motorcycles .

Every wrench modding Itailan motocycles, be they male or female, young or old, rich or poor; is absolutely convinced they they, too, could design the next Ducati superbike, if only they could get a fair tryout. And they vent their frustration,next person take over and add a few lines

Hey Will. I just built a pretty unique bike. Wanna help me get it in a magazine? Keep in mind Im a crippled 20 year old and had a thousand dollar budget.

Some damn nice work here. 

I could see this being written up in compare/contrast form: 5 bikes, 5 builders, $1000 budget in each case.
