previous video starts with a short drop and then is a mile long climb.

this one starts near the bottom of a hill and finishes with a slight rise up to an intersection.

Its actually a frontage road to a major loop out here.  I live a mile from it and all kinds of traffic can be found on the frontage.

I regularly ride my bike on it, as do many people, others run...

its a multi use area.

You just have to pick the right bar!

I was riding home on my little 50 and at a stop sign had a couple of sport bikers yell over to me that tonight was bike night at Hooters and I should check it out.

Then again, maybe they were just looking for someone to beat up on.

They definitely have a different shape than the Chen Shin's  - looks like you get a lot more rubber on the road.

How many km's do you have on your set?

Sound good though - one of the thing the reviewers seem to comment on was that the tires wore down fast.  But seems like you're not having that issue.

And since I put on a lot less mileage I didn't let that part of the review dissuade me.
Title: Re: great little trip to the bar today.
Post by: wordslinger on September 25, 2010, 12:54:23 AM
..i know of nobody that has had ANY wear issues with them..

And I'm only at 4400 kms!  Now I really feel like I should get going on it.

..i started modding @ 30,000kms...
Title: Re: great little trip to the bar today.
Post by: oswaldters on September 25, 2010, 01:01:38 AM
So how many mph have you tacked on to your top speed since the 30,000km mark?
Title: Re: great little trip to the bar today.
Post by: wordslinger on September 25, 2010, 01:05:27 AM
..16, or so, on the top end, when running it's best...

..12-15 on it's absolute lowest speed up big hills..when running it's best...

Title: Re: great little trip to the bar today.
Post by: oswaldters on September 25, 2010, 01:08:38 AM
That is impressive.

Just thinking about how much trouble I could get into with those speeds!

Probably a good thing that I went with a "P" rated tire.

Post by: oswaldters on September 25, 2010, 01:17:12 AM
I think I'd be happy with another 5-8mph.

I end up using mostly residential streets with 25 mph limits.  And they really enforce these limits aggressively.

But there are some streets I'd like to drive occasionally where I'd need to be able to maintain 40mph.

.. But there are some streets I'd like to drive occasionally where I'd need to be able to maintain 40mph.

..just a K&N air filter and a bigger jet would get you there...


..'xcept up some hills...


.you are derestricted, right??..

..i forget sometimes..........
Title: Re: great little trip to the bar today.
Post by: oswaldters on September 25, 2010, 01:25:11 AM
Yes, I did the basic derestriction on it. 

The filter and upjetting sound good - maybe upgrade the exhaust?

My thought is that I'd like to be able to hang at 40mph without running WOT so much.
Title: Re: great little trip to the bar today.
Post by: wordslinger on September 25, 2010, 01:28:37 AM
..you can hang with 40, without the exhaust, and correct jetting of your carb with the free-flow filter....

..exhausts are expensive...the most expensive of the de-restrictions...

Thanks, that's good to know.

Sounds like it shouldn't be too complex - or expensive.

I'll have to start looking for that K & N filter.

Man, this post took off!

The highest speeds shown were on downhills, San Antonio isn't flat.

I was holding the camera with my left hand.

And the bar is Freetail brewing, http://www.freetailbrewing.com/ (http://www.freetailbrewing.com/)

Great beer, great pizza, very nice area and is only 4 miles from my place.

Rest assured I ony had two very delicious pints before I went home.  I don't like drunk driving.

Videos are easier than I thought.  I will post a video showcasing the scoot next week.

cheers mates!

That's great! I've only seen about half that speed on our little back roads over here. I wanna have a big smile like that on my face one day too!! Pretty brave, glopezz, riding with one hand in all that traffic. lol

Inspiring Vids!!!
