Looks like he is running a care tire on the rear. That could be a big part of the probem.

It looks like a regular MC tire to me, front and back...

My guess is insufficient clearance for the given lean angle, which it seems to be aggravated by the extra load, passenger + luggage...and let's trow in inexperience, shall we?

3. Sorry.
4. not sure.
5. Why not?



If the owner of the Beemer is here, can you reply?

Excellent, I haven't lost my touch! Here's a little goodie just for you: http://news.google.com/newspapers?ni...g=4954,3688571

Be prepared for many questions about which oil to use.


Here's a few great looking metalheads. First up a Swede:.



Wow, even a Frenchie:



Here's a Limey:


Next we have a German:


Finally an Americano:

I think that Austen dude have something to do with Austenite?

Isn't Austenite a non-magnetic solid solution of carbon and iron that exists in steel above a critical temperature of 1333°F?

3. Hope to see that changed here.

4. If the answer to my question to her is yes, she owes me.

5. Hopefully we may get some pix.

My east german instructor was a hot metallurgist. I almost failed the non ferrous class due to her low rise jeans, tight shirts and smile.

I heard about Birnell and blowholes butt I thought Norman Rockwell invented the steel hardness tester that bears his name?
If you can’t baffle them with bullship blind them with science.

Yes and yes. But it gets a lot better. Sometimes other elements are added for various reasons. Among other things, they can be divided into two groups--austenite formers, and ferrite formers. Some elements are strong aust. formers, C and Ni. Cr is a strong ferrite former.

So, if you add a little Ni to a carbon steel, you can have aust. down to near absolute zero. Ni is amazing stuff. A small % can turn both gold and copper white/grey. It can also screw up your skin, which is why metallurgists long ago invented wooden nickels.

I hear you. I was somewhat distracted when taking my metallurgical engineering PE exams by a hot girl sitting next to me. Of course she wasn't a met., but was a flangehead (mech. engr.) Told me she was in charge of fixing the GM pickup gas tank rupturing problem.

Surprise, you can use a Rockwell test on things like aluminum, but you may have to change your balls.

I had her many times, for class. Never been more motivated to roll into a night class.
