Talon,

Like your Dog !

But I want a reporter to ask  him/her a few questions !.

[Jack]

Entrees:

Opee, I guess your in ?

[Ditch]

I'm beginning to think Jack just wants to get his post count up!    I really don't care if your bike can or can't break the rear tire loose in 4th gear at 4000 rpm doing 55 mph..... but it has been a fun read!  Just enjoy your bike and ride buddy hope to see you on the road somewhere! Oh yeah, Thanks for serving our great country! 

[miker]

Miker,

How come you know how to spell "xanax the correct way ?

 

[Jack]

Hey DITCH,

              I just mentioned to one "VIP" that I would like to have my "newbie status" remain.

I have no interest in escalating it.  Thanks for your input and mention.

I'm curious Jack. What do you have an interest in? I'm thinking a simple video of this amazing feat would be warranted. Certainly you can't expect everyone on here to believe you, since this kind of earth shattering power hasn't been duplicated with built up motors, let alone from a stock bike. Or maybe you paid a little too much for that "wonder" springer and you're a little behind on the payments, hence the need for the moolah. Or maybe you just need a hug and this is a cry for help. Whatever the situation, we're all adults on here, so man up.

Opee

OPEE,

Just talked to the only person that matters this morning,
he is Godly, but not the Catholic priest across the street.

I mentioned I'd do it for him just for the "Hell of it!"

Find your spokesperson for April 19-20 in York. I'll be there
to take your ignorance home with me.

I'm not on the list because good riders come from a long way,
just to do this tour.

I am only a couple of hours away.

Like I said before, "Easiest $5 Grand I ever made."

1 pmt.

THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO MY BIKE OTHER THAN 16,500 + miles on the clock.
RECALL SUSPENDED UNTIL END OF NOTIFICATION TIME LINE.
YOU CAN GET 50 GUYS WITH $100 EACH DOESN'T MATTER TO ME, I'LL BE GLAD TO TAKE YOUR MONEY.

I AM A FORMER MARINE SGT. I AM 61. I DON'T BULLchit ANYONE, I DON'T HAVE TO. I SAY WHAT I MEAN, AND MEAN WHAT I SAY.

Last Wednesday @ 4:15 pm, ambient temp 88, engine @240, surface temp probably 100+ and new macadam, speed @55mph, interstate hwy.  With a passing opportunity before me I decided to shift down to 4th and cracked the throttle and felt the familiar vibration coming from the motor and then transfer to the rear wheel.  This was going on @4000 to just over 5000 rpm's.  To my suprise there was no increase in travel speed through the whole transition  which was of some concern because of the encroaching traffic, until I hit 5th, and then it spun with a revolution or two of rear wheel till it locked up and launched and returned my confidence in the decision to make this maneuver.

My analogy, all there was in 4th was wheel spin.

In the begining of this relationship FXSTSSE & me, third gear in the power band would offer wheel slip whenever I wanted it, to a limited degree.  4th in the power band would make the rear end hop to a lesser degree.

WARNING: Just outside the center of the rear tire has less road surface and will offer more slip, which is why in this case started the slip and did not let up all thru 4th gear.

Another analogy:  In this forum we have mentioned engine vibration from this bike.  I believe this is due to the "Power to the Pavement Factor" when under load.  We have the only balanced 110(B) engine offered in any of the 2007 SE Classes.  I wouldn't have it any other way, rigid mounted and balanced.  I can feel more of what this bike is made of  and lovin every second of it.......

                                                  Semper Fi,

                                                     Jack

PS  Thanks again Skippy....... ("You're going to love this bike" !)  I really do.......   Jack

Jack,

There is a common theme running through here that no one seems to want to believe you
and no shortage of stock CVO's or hopped up CVO bikes either.

Why is that?
Are we all nuts?
I have a couple of CVO's and I would be the first to admit that niether
of my bikes would even come close to do what you says yours does.

breaking a tire loose in fourth gear (a very tall gear by anyones account)
would take gobs of power.

I have done that on a bike at 55mph, but it was on a Boss Hoss with a Chevy 350 small block
with 375 hp at the rear wheel.
Now that was fun and I know I was not mistaken on this.

[Jack]

1711tab,

Thank you for your service Marine ? (SEMPER).

I guess if everyone said "Yeah, I think you can do it too", wouldn't be any fun.

That not being the case, I guess you're in too ?  

Don't really want to take a Marine's money, but find
4 others @ $20 and I'll send you each a DVD making it happen.

Is that 1711tab a drug I haven't heard of ?, or do you think you're helping me out ?

Semper Fi,  Jack

[CVOMOE!!]

And I'm also willing to bet you have only ever done this the one time on your bike as reported eons ago.  Give it a rest man.  Can't be done.

Cheers, Moe

[Jack]

FLHTCUSE3,

Doesn't look like I can make any money here 'Boss' ?

So would you buy a certified DVD showing me do it ?

Certified by (maybe)................................. HOIST ?

[Jack]

MOE,

I hope you are reading the entry above this !
