Joe Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 This was on a Road Atlanta trip Spring of 05-ish. I had just sold my 01 V11 Sport to KaleV11, and was riding the blue 04 EV. Those were good times, one marriage and 3 kids ago. (In a happy blended family w 5 kids now). Anyways we didn’t get rained on the whole trip, had a blast riding North Georgia thru Dahlonega. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReplyForward A practical philosophy FORCED ON ME by the hard school of Piaggio Guzzi. Besides, there are only 24 hours in a day and 365 days in any year (more often than not): how is a fellow supposed to cope with such intolerable constraints? On that matter, I think we should consult The French. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 This was way back when the crusty gas station would make you a sandwich way before commercialization had set in to Deals Gap, circa spring 1996-ish. Some old 80’s Kawasaki 1000, a Hawk GT I must of rode 7 times thru the Gap that day. My dad was riding a 96 Harley Sportster 1200. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best ROI imo having suspension improved by a top notch professional - lightening the rotational mass would be next level tier But then I ask myself - am I just getting sucked in too deep by the air cooled porker?

Admin Jaap Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I had my Öhlins suspension setup for me by HKsuspension. These guys know what they're doing: https://hksuspension.nl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
