Whistler has turned itself into the place to go. It's on my list. (not a boobie video)

Whistler is indeed beautiful, that video is no exaggeration. I've been there twice, once in winter, once in summer. It's very steep, the village is a tiny speck at the base of towering mountains. So steep, so overpowering, majestic, imposing. And speaking for the village, ... heh.. .bring money. Whistler is not cheap. Look for a travel/lodging deal cause you'll need plenty money.

Crazy beautiful...

This old Indian has an interesting frame, looks like a modified bicycle design.

Griff · 02-11-2018, 07:36 AM

So the pedal is the origin of the kick start?

Most motorcycle manufacturers made bicycles. As engine manufacturing improved they were applied to bicycles. Obviously the frames of bicycles at that time couldn't handle the stress of an engine.

The engines weren't hard to kick over so a bicycle pedal was adequate. As cc's increased something heavy duty was made.

I imagine if the foreign manufacturers hadn't put electric start on their bikes we would still be kick starting our Harley's. Don't get me wrong I love mine, but Harley seems to wait 20 yrs to see what the Japanese have done.

Their worst mistake is the abs system. The fluid has to be purged every 2 yrs or the modules will corrode. Whats with that shit? Do you think they would fix this defect on their own. Oh hell no. 177,500 bike owners are being recalled, because of insistence by Uncle Sam.

I never even considered that bikes would have ABS...

Gravdigr · 02-11-2018, 02:18 PM

Some bikes link the front and rear braking systems, too.

They also have traction and wheelie control, nowadays.

Mad Cow bike, do not stop quick, never, nada, no.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-28-2018, 10:29 PM

You could alway stick a card in the spokes, or a zoom zoom recording.

Not a boobie video? You've got the wrong man, I spell my name DANGER.
The Inch has been saving up to go to Whistler with his pals after granulation.

Gravdigr · 03-06-2018, 03:31 PM

Just lean forward over those hipster dufus handlebars and go "Vroooom, vrooom!!"
