Funny read!

 

Nice comeback, Lundee! I have a Galaxy Tab w/Andriod, and it can be a total PIA. Got sick of the typos and limited abilities when posting to HDF on it. I always felt like an illiterate when using it due to it's shortcomings.

Like the term "moranus". That's a new one.

 

Those are called the "Voyager" system. We had those on our '05 police RK's, after some brainiac suggested them to the agency I work for as a chepaer alternative to replacing the sidecars we've been using for about, oh, 90+ years in my motor unit.

You're right about the Voyager being training wheels, 'cause that's EXACTLY what they are. They are also poorly engineered and decidedly unsafe in certain circumstances. They can start to hop when you encounter potholes/rippled or uneven pavement in a turn, causing a loss of steering ability. Also will do that when encountering "wavy" pavement (my description, don't know what else to call it) on an interstate when your speed is just right. The "waves" in the roadway cause a harmonic to establish in the training wheels, and they start to hop, with end result being the bike loses steering ability and darts all over the road-no f--king fun at 75 mph!

My family had instructions with my attorney's name and a list of who to sue if I lost it with that POS Voyager on the bike. Thankfully we got rid of them after a few winters, going back to the sidecars for winter service.

The Voyagers were not only lame in appearance and function, they were dangerous and poorly built too!

 

Can anyone say "Vespa"?

 

Bet their sex life is REALLY exciting! Can you imagine the converstaion? "Let's get wild tonight, honey. Why don't you get on top. Just don't forget the safety harness!"

 

Ummm No! It's about keeping the megalomaniac LEO in his car eating his donut![/quote]Ummm, that's ok Fella. That same megalomaniac cop will need to stock up on doughnut calories so he'll have the energy to write a report on how your brains are spread all over the pavement.

In policespeak it's called "Thinning the herd". Nice to see you got your cheap shot in on LE, though, regardless of the thread's topic. Good job by you!

 

Yeah, only on a 'Wing! Ranks up there with the "girl cage"-serves no real purpose but to give the rider and passenger an illusion of safety. Showed the Goldwing airbag to some other investigatiors in my A.I. unit, and we all had a good chuckle from that one. The airbag just provides a low friction surface from which to launch the rider in a crash. Throws all our rider vault/speed computations out the window.

Goldwing riders/owners must love it, though.

 

the radio

 

This was an interesting read!

BTW..........the stereo/radio is a great item, I'm able to avoid some traffic problems when it is on.

Later

 

babe cage is awsome
