My views on this:

 

Brilliant idea :clapping: but…

 

The writer quoted an example of huge force is needed to change the front wheel/bike direction at 120mph which he thinks is bad. But, who will yank the handle and flip the bike at that speed?

 

The added complexity and weight (unsprung + rotational) not justify the benefit of the counter rotational brake rotors.

 

Think you have a point... but I really love to have this tech on my bike... actually this tech is not new at all, I remember reading something like that in the early 80s and it was introduced on car but not on bike... may be, may be, we will see this tech commonly used on bike in 10-20yrs, just like automatic gearbox, ABS and Injection... I still remember those very old Merc with nice chrome "AUTOMATIC" wording and some old restaurant very proud to stick "AIRCON" on their main doors...

 

:p

I just chat with my wife the other day about this…haha

 

We used to have “AIRCON” on the main door of restaurant, barber shop. In the 80s, “i” means injection on cars, turbocharged cars have “Turbo”, “5-Speeds”… :p

hahaha, not to forget, DOHC, 16 valves in the 90s... it was such a fashion that some of them just stick them on their cars without knowing what they are... one good example - Toyota Starlet - 1ltr... don't think 3 cyl engine has 16valves :cheeky:

To make my bike go faster, I must find some chrome letterings. Normally fierce letters like "R", "Z", "X", but the letter "I" must be small. So I will have letterings like "R1150RZXRRi" !!!! keke :)

 

Cheers

ah, little grasshopper, ..... hence the need for me to enhance my speed by adding little fierce chrome letterings to my bike.

Hi.. Need some advice from fellow riders. Found out that my rear tyre kena 'paku' / nail. I've already removed the nail.. luckily its not that long. I think my tyre tube has been spared lah. Im still monitoring my tyre pressure. What should I do rectify the situation and have a peace of mind while riding?

 

Okay.. I'll monitor my tyre pressure for a week. thanks peterk. :p

Saw Alan of PerfectionMotorcycles using something like this to read data on his GS12 and a RT1150...

 

Looks fun but alien to me ... :slapforehead:

 

My R100R is too old for this diagnostic tool, think most advance equipment he used on my bike is the Twinmax Electronic Carburettor Balancer... :cheeky:
