That would be a fun trip, don't think I'd want to take it on with my little 350 though.

Hi level pipes, must be an off roader so needs dual sport tyres  ;)
At least it will maintain even temps all the way across cylinder/head  ;D

Not sure if this is really inspirational. But I found this little guy on my speedo this afternoon. That's gotta be good luck or something.

_________________________________________________________________________

I agree with your "but why" spikey..

Saw a side-by-side V-twin build by the Tuettels/OC Choppers a while back.  Wondered why go to all that trouble (plus the thing was massive).  I asked them earlier (E-mail) why they didn't just use one of the available V-fours available (V-Max..Voyager..Magna).  Received an E-mail back..saying they didn't respond to personal questions/suggestions about their builds.  But..guess that most of us know by now..that the Tuettles seem more posers..than actual builders.

Guess I can't really complain tho..as it's a free world..folks like to express their tastes in different ways..

 +2

Lean angle looks nonexistent. Turning radius must be measured in miles.  Can't imagine what it weighs.

All of which leads me back to your point.
Take care,
