      My cousin gave me one- crossed a railroad track that was about 45 degrees from straight across. Front wheel fell into the space between the rail and the road. It followed the tracks for a few yards. He got off and took my bike. The rest of us got it turned around- tough job on a railway. I rode it home and kinda got to like it. He brought my bike and the title to the chopper and left both in my garage.

      @shellfishtani7309 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      In 80s billions of Japanese young bikers (usually teenagers on their sports bikes like NSR, TZR, etc) died due to illegal street racings.
      So that in 90s those sports bikes had become less popular, then the 70s style choppers were being popular more than ever. Many of my friends used to have their choppers and some still have.
      But non of them died for his bike, so I suppose American choppers are much safer than Japanese sports bikes.
      But I’m not a big fan of choppers, I prefer British cafe racers, and my current bike is Ducati 350 desmo :p

    The extended front end was actually an idea and developed by the USA national highway safety council. It was an attempt to move the driver of a motorcycle further back in the event of a collision. This idea did not take into consideration all of the engineering design cost , trial and error that went into each machine..no regard for rake, trail, castor, flex, wheelbase,stability, maneuverability,weight distribution,ect.. which is what always happens when goverment gets involved for our own good...

    I came through the bike scene in the early eighties. Two stroke was king so that was our normal. RD, X7, KR1S, RG etc. Everything was sharp, responsive, handled well. A friend got a Harley, have a go he said.... handlebars on worn rubber mounts! Four speed gearbox! I got 100 meters, turned around and gave it back. Shite!! To be fair I got tired of broken rings, big ends worn, if my 350 LC didn’t do 115 MPH on my way to work I would be sorely disappointed. Got a Z650 and trashed it for years and it never let me down. I got 128 mph on the clock be day with the Z. Happy day for me.

    • @KowboyUSA
      @KowboyUSA 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you look at Wikipedia, it's wrong: There's no such thing as a "suicidal shifter." A foot clutch is sometimes called a "suicide clutch," since a rider can kill himself if the bike's still in gear and his foot slips from the clutch at a busy intersection. A hand shifter, is called that, especially one mounted on the transmission, is sometimes called a jockey shift - if mounted on the tank, it's often referred to as "tank shift." Been been riding for over 50 years and testify that no seasoned rider ever called it a _suicide shifter._ - Copied pasted from Sturgis dot com: _"I've seen the term “suicide shifter” used in describing a plain old ordinary tank shift. Simple ignorance allows that term to be used. There is no such thing as a “suicide shifter.” Nobody has ever died because of using “hand shift.” There is however such a thing as a “Suicide Clutch.”"_

    Right at 0:35 when that 2nd bike attempts a burn-out at the drag-strip, you can see the major flaw in the design. The front brake tries to lock up but doesn't have enough grab, not enough weight over it - but when it does manage to brake it compresses the front end and/or bends the "rigid" fork/headstock/frame assembly, and then the wheel begins to chatter back & forth between these two actions, completely destabilizing the entire front end and steering - This was done at a STAND-STILL - Could you just imagine braking hard into a corner of a half-ass highway PANIC stop?
