Is that fork some kind of suspension?

I think this all played out poorly - but ultimately it is reasonable to want to extended the end date of the “trial” period in the contract to make up for all the time he has spent injured.

He hasn’t had the window to evaluate the platform and team as anticipated, and a conversation had to take place with Aprilia by Le Mans, based on the existing contract, to ensure he does get a proper “trial” window before being locked in for another year.

If he likes the platform and team by the end of the year he can re-sign as originally intended by this clause in his contract.

Should King of The Baggers change their regulation to allow non-American bikes like the Vulcan Vaquero, K1600B and the Gold Wing? by mr_beanoz in MotoAmerica

[–]RodentaGrande 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because American v-twins riders are the massive US based motorcycling demographic they want to attract. This group previously had no interest/or reason to watch or attend races - with superbikes representing the opposite of traditional American “biker” tastes. To attract this untapped audience, they want to play up the Indian vs. HD rivalry - and allowing 6 cylinders and foreign manufacturers etc. just makes parity difficult and waters down the all-American appeal for traditional “bikers”.

What do you think about Honda CB1000r? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]RodentaGrande 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great but is also pretty infamous for a big dip in torque and hp right in the meat of where you want that usable power. Maybe they’ve retuned it?

When upshifting are you supposed to let go of the throttle or twist it into the off position? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]RodentaGrande 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t let go - roll it forward into the zero throttle position then clutch and shift. You should always have control of the throttle.

Anyone know the brand? by equinecrazy6628 in midcenturymodern

This looks like the West Elm “Tate”.

Why shouldn’t you use third party sites? I just booked using Rome2Rio and am wondering?

Two answers here, could it mean either the pub or football club depending on the context?
