I disagree!In truth state an absolute fact and you can count on a couple of contrarians saying you're wrong!

Jive Ass!I disagree!
So glad AWS valves didn't make the list of contested topics....guess it's now settledDon't forget twin carb verses single!!!
Well can't see myself ever owning a Suzuki T500/GT500 two stroke lol, I have only owned one Suzuki a RM125S first of the mono shock motocross back in my youth, it was a weapon for it's size.Don't leave a Suzuki T500/GT500 two stroke in gear with the clutch in. Pull the clutch lever in and three things happen, clutch disengages, (I hope you were expecting that!), your tacho drops to 0, and the oil pump stops running!
Slightly silly design, but be sensible and it's not a problem.
Personally I don't know another bike this happens on.
Or, maybe I'm too old to member them all - or maybe blocked some of the nonsense outSo glad AWS valves didn't make the list of contested topics....guess it's now settled

True, I said I never put in neutral - never thought to. That's 99.99% correct. However, heading west in US Rt 50 (6/7/8 lanes) from DC there is a light at Patrick Henry (6 lanes) that has a full 5-minute cycle time. If approaching that light and it turns red, I will put it in neutral and almost consider shutting it off - I hate these old bikes idling!Some of this depends on where you ride
Are you the only person who ever put a BSA/Triumph conical brake on a Jap bike?H

I have to go through 4 traffic light junctions on my way to work and 3 of them are within 200yds of each other one is a crossroads and the other 2 are side roads!!True, I said I never put in neutral - never thought to.

I won't even ride through 7-Corners on Rt 50 - never timed that monster but I'm guessing 8 minutes.

Good move - riding here is not fun!When I lived in Vienna, I had to commute to Tyson's Corner to work, only a few miles away. I had 4 bikes at the time, my Norton was still in a basket though. It just became too dangerous to ride a bike in that area, a real motivator to move to a big Farm in rural NC. Back in the day, riding my Norton in NYC was safe and I could even park the bike on the street, with a chain, and not worry about having it stolen........

Pretty sure I shortened the swinging arm tooA T model with modified frame and BSA/Triumph TLS Brake!
I won a race with my mate's Suzuki Cobra. It had no brakes and I had to sit on the back of the tank to get around. The spectators could smell the brake linings burning. When I put decent brake linings into it, my mate was afraid to ride it. I don't like racing two-strokes -it is too easy to win with them and they don't feel good. A good four-stroke makes me much happier. I tend to ride better with a four-stroke. My T250 racer was really rapid. I sold it immediately after it won it's first race. Racing is about having fun. It costs money to get there and having fun is important. I know a guy who has a Seeley Norton like mine - he races a 650SS.H

Disagree. There is enough of idiots on every continent to get you killed.I think people in Europe might be more aware of motorcycles than those in America or Australia. The mindset is different. Only an idiot would ride a motorcycle in Bali.
