We choose to launch. Whether we treat every stoplight as a drag strip or not, we choose to launch. If we diddnt we would have settled on a smaller displacement, less balls having machine.
I have had the great pleasure of riding progressively larger, more powerful machines and from my first 89 xt350 I fell in love, I flew. The sensation of freedom available to the motorcyclist is unique. The grunt of three hundred plus cc's of displacement in a single cylinder opened my eyes. Having over 100hp at my disposal now is an exercise in applied humility.
Now, I can launch.
And duck you
Launching on the FJ taught me vinyl protectant such as amourall does not belong on bike seats... :shout:
yes i quite enjoy the launch !
its a nice advantage the FJ has over newer shorter wheelbase motorcycles.... the FJ moves forward while they are popping wheelies!
Kookaloo! (right up to the speed limit honest! :biggrin:)
The Corbin Solo Gunfighter seat is a really important upgrade on my FJ.
Take it to the track where it's measureable, and you'll find that you probably cannot launch. :D
