Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

I quiet like the look of these

The actual finished bikes look even better

They wanted to cover the whole bike to protect it from me, but I rode off before they could get the other rolls of tape.

Oh so they know you quite well then

It looks like a cool ride, I do appreciate something you don't feel the need to go spastic on. Look forward to your review when you have clearance.

Isn't that the case every time you swing your leg over a bike?

I do wish I had a less 'all out' bike for the road, I get zero enjoyment out of my bike at low speeds - something like a Naked 1000 V-twin would be perfect

In my experience naked bikes only slow down your top speed.

Not sure which part you're referring too? While I'm getting better with age at behaving, I do have an addictive streak that as soon as I start to get a little spirited I find it hard to dial back again unless I do something that gives me a heart stop. But the times I've jumped on a single or twin non sports bike I haven't felt the need as you know it's not going to handle it as well, so I tend to just enjoy the ride for what it is.

Nothing that complicated, I'm simply calling you a spaz

That's my train of thought

And it worked for me. Although the cold and greasy conditions with tractor muddy tracks also helped.
