Nice

I would absolutely purchase that from you

Haha well it tops out around 27mph now, but there are a few mods you can do to get a bit more out of it (different exhaust, tweak the clutch, etc)

I'll let you know if or when I'm interested in selling it.

This is sitting in the corner of our main shop. I'm tempted to see if I can get it running.

It actually fired right up. I guess it was just sitting there because nobody wanted to ride it.

@Sonic want to race?

Oh, a trike. Gay

I just thought the contrast was funny. That trike will do 180. The bike might do 18.

Haha nice work @Der Seeteufel - SD !!

I'd say you could probably push 20-25mph

No thanks. I dumped it doing about 2mph. The handle bars came loose on me. I swear they were tight when I started. Luckily the bike fell on me and I didn't even scratch the paint I got a little bit of a scratch though. Check out the medical channel.

Oooof harsh..

Yeah I'm fine honestly I was more worried about the bike. My boss let me ride it, since I cleaned it all up for him but it's his dad's so it has sentimental value.

Damn that's quite a gash man!

Eh.. I've had worse. Not cuts, but I've broken 7 bones (5 at once) and have been burned pretty badly once. I'll be fine.

That car is missing a front wheel.

@JesseJames Do you think this patch is too close to the sidewall? Do I need a new tire?

I would replace it forsure. If you need to run it until Monday put it on the back. Plugs are only for temporary use anyway. But when it is that close to the sidewall a patch won’t stay anyway.

Sheiiiit

Sorry bro.

That's a blowout in the making.

@Der Seeteufel - SD That Whizzer looks awesome!

Can anyone tell me if a 600cc cruiser (Honda Shadow) has sufficient power to carry a passenger and still maintain highway speeds (80+mph)?

<@&435155863217504256> ^^^

Why? Is your passenger 400lbs?

How much combined weight? What year is it? You can re hear anything to run lower rpms at higher speeds just by replacing one or two sprockets and taking links out of a chain.

Haha no she's not even close to 400lbs. Just looking to get another bike and don't want to waste my time getting a 600 if I'm going to regret it later. Looking at 750's on up.

Combined weight would be about 325lbs.

I would recommend a larger cc bike for riding 2 up. I would also recommend avoiding interstates whenever possible for safer more fun alternatives of highways.

I recommend one of those for 2+

Yeah I avoid highways. Prefer riding through the mountains or back country roads.

I have a 390 KTM, and I can easily acheive highway speeds with a passenger. I don't like it, because I can't speed out of dangerous situations, but it can be done

There is a happy medium for sure.

Based @John O - I'm actually getting a 125 LOL, you guys are all way ahead of me.

Self-driving 18 wheelers are now on the road in testing mode! Here’s one from Embark:

Here’s one from Waymo (Google):
