Pic taken at Lake Elsinore?

 

Yea maybe a little living on the edge there ... but what the heck ... life is short ...

The little doughnuts you did at the beginning where very similar to the ones I did in the cup de sac ... no rear traction to speak of ... little fun in an otherwise boring day. I didn't have the guts to take it out into traffic .. your lucky in that there isn't any traffic to speak of there ... we don' t get much .. but way more than you had on that ride. I don't worry about me so much ... it's the crazy cagers that scare me.

 

This thread does answer one of my lingering questions ... Is the Power Vision Really waterproof/resistant? Obviously it is .. LOL .. snow proof too!

 

silly.

 

Looks like fun, but I've got to ask- What's up with the stock air cleaner?

 

 

I've had a few PM's and emails questioning the traction And my sanity.

I was prepared to ride at 5-10 mph. But it was amazingly sure-footed. I would gas it to try and break it loose. I tested the front and rear brakes (multiple times) to see what point it would break traction. There was no ice under the slush and snow, and it was not a lot different, traction wise, than riding in the rain.

The first part of the vid, where I broke it loose in the parking lot...that is dirt below the snow and breaks loose like that, even if there is no snow.




Yes, deer and other critters are always a concern.

Yes, traffic sucks. I would not even have ventured out in the white stuff if I had to travel with a bunch of traffic.


I've ridden thru some really heavy downpours with the Power Vision. Sometimes I will cover it with a plastic bag, but other times a light rain has turned into a downpour before I could stop and cover it up. Never had a problem. I do keep a nice coating of dielectric grease on the connectors.

Yep! Fun too!


Stock air cleaner AND Stock mufflers, with the Fuel Moto 2-1-2 headers.

I pulled the prototype slip-ons off for some testing on another bike, and I put the stock mufflers a couple of weeks ago.

That same day I pulled a prototype A/C off, so decided to put the stock A/C on, along with the stock muffs, just to see what it was like. (it's a bit of a dog, relatively speaking)

The prototype slip-ons are about done being tested, so they will be back on the TG shortly...will get my tried and true 587 A/C back on there at the same time.

 

You know your lakes.........

 

Lived in Riverside for about 20 years. Elsinore was a weekly trip with the boat for water skiing. My younger brother used to live on Corydon road on the opposite side of the lake from where your pic was taken.

 

Kevin was getting ready to go for a ride again yesterday
