Anyone who gets behind the wheel of any vehicle is a danger to themselves and others. When I first got my bike the front brakes didn't work. I stopped just fine with the rear. It wasn't 'til I had all of the brakes working that I crashed!

I haven't used the back brake on either bike in a long time, I should just take it off to eliminate some more weight to make my bike will be even faster!

You can stop trolling, Joe... I ain't bitin'.

[joceiphus]

Hey you brought it up I just threw my two cents in.

[crazy steve]

Joe, just out of curiosity, how do you figure you've got a 76 degree rake? By my calculations, you would need 6 foot over-length forks to make that work...

....and have the turn radius of about a semi with two trailers....

But it sure looks cool!!!

[crazy steve]

So you have 9 foot long forks? Because that's what it'd take...

No I have a stock front end, and shocks on the back too. I just wanted to make all the negative nancy's shake thier heads.

Screw the rake, you should just install a single sided swingarm. Then it would be 90 degrees!!!!!!

Trolling, Joe...lol

[Guy_b_g]

Actually the rake of the GTS1000 is listed at 24 degrees..it is just measured at the steering knuckle rather than at the (non existent on the GTS) triple tree.

[Guy_b_g]

By the way, I've always wanted a GTS1000..

[Montreux_Blue]

This bike is about as close as I could find to 76 degrees....

45 degree rake in neck, 6 degrees in the trees, total 51 degree rake, 10 inch rise in down tube, 2 inch diameter downtube, 5 inch out in backbone, 21 inch over front end 63mm inverted forks

[XSokieSPECIAL]

Looks comfortable. Doesn't it............?

And there-in lies the reason why reasonable discussion cant be achieved in the hbt. There are too many people who just want to draw attention to themselves and behave like children.
