  1. I took for granted that you would allow some room for the sidewalls to bulge out when encountering a pothole. Not Sarcasm at all. What safety limit are you referring to - max bulge before hitting a suspension member ?  This would entail knowing your speed, the size of the hole (if that is the obstruction) or the size of the curb, tire pressure, temperature. Many variables. To assume someone has done all this for you is quite a stretch. It's a Click, not a Dakar bike.

  2. I do not know where you are from, but in Canada the law states that you must spend the majority of your time in Canada. Which is a minimum of 183 days a year. The travel insurance piggy backs off your provincial/territorial health care. May be a wise to see if this is so where you are from. As an aside ... Bupa Thailand will insure me for 5 million baht - premium all inclusive, valid world wide except for the USA - for about 40,000 baht. Quote this spring.

  3. Sorry, I just return there to work - if the contract appeals. Polls -  The term was popularised in United States by Mark Twain (among others), who attributed it to the British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." My own experience, these last 2 years returning to work, are that I had to wait to return here to have my health issues seen by a specialist Doctor. Both years, made an appointment in May, Got back on the bird to return here first of November without seeing anyone. 

  4. Let's hear from the people who Love cars.

    Got a job which entailed lots of hiway driving. Picked up a 1968 Mustang Mach One 428 SCJ with spun bearings. Replaced the short block, mild head work, 780 Holley, headers. Stuffed some 273 gears in the diff.

    First time out broke the speedo cable on that little post past 120 mph.. Loved to find Beemers and Porsches - there's no replacement for displacement.

    would it ride like a trike, not a quad ?

     

    I picked quad because of the dual front wheels. If you have never ridden a conventional trike, they high-side very easily. The only tilting trike conversion that I know of is by Tilting Motor Works. For HD. But tilts front wheels ala Piaggo. There may be more but I am not aware. Enlighten me anyone ...

     

     

  6. Don't put too much stock in what the new car manufacturers say. Most spec 5W20 -  the only reason to help CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) Dino oil plenty good enough for run of the mill cars and trucks. Change every 5000 km. Full Syn OK for high performance bikes - and cars - where they are making lots of horsepower and operating at high revs. Overkill for anything else. Will not significantly increase engine life or mileage. But if you want to spend the $$$ for some pie-in-the-sky benefit - UP 2 U
