Took a ride to see that russian mix/matched sidecar. Bike started using out of country parts back in '07 and became a bit more dependable. Guy tells me I can't buy special tools like you can with other bikes, like Kawi and bmw, for example. Says you need some factory measuring tool to set the sidecar up. I said I'll buy the tool(s) (IF) I need to tear down the gear boxes and all that, you sure are not! Says they won't sell those tools to you. And I said the bike can sit on the floor till it hatches eggs then.
I had more fun whacking that bike's throttle going there. I can't keep the front end down if I head for red line. He's telling me it's about done at 65mph with the sidecar. Said the front end is too quick if ridden without the bag. I'd be washing that front end out; plowing without bag.
So much for russian marketing. I'm building two Harley choppers right now and I can buy any tool for that engine/trans. Shit, even aftermarket makes a better (idea/modified) factory tool for H-D. Besides, Japan needs to get back on it's feet so 'cash is waiting' for another nasty boy.
Who could keep the front end down taking a ride over there. I sure couldn't. She just danced over the bumps and when she lofts, I have to short shift that bitch I'm out of room just like that!
