Looks like a "trackside" stand

Cool. Thanks. Good idea for a gift.

 

What would you use it for? Your drz is setup for more trail than street. Would you put street tires on the tw?

 

I had a steel stand like that, after about 10 times the lift lever bent. Save the trouble and get one that at least has 2 bars to lift

Dirt or die. (Until i can afford a street bike or a Sumo'd WR)

Gtfo, yours isn't even road worthy yet.

 

A work in progress, 1978 Honda CB550. Doesn't get old.

 

Gfto doesn't stop me

 

Reported.

 

But what I'm saying is the tw is less capable than your drz, so if you're getting the tw for dirt it kinda seems like a waste of money since your current bike is better

 

And another angle of the instrument cluster...

 

Its just another street legal bike dude. And tire choices for it are pretty limited. Plus anyone can ride it, its so short and forgiving. My bike is too tall for a lot of people.

I'll likely be riding it next week while the brake lines are being installed on my bike since my truck is still not fixed.

 

Anyone else use http://www.motosport.com/ ?

 

You're buying a bike so other people can ride it?

I didn't. He did. Anyone in the family can ride it is the point. Its like having a spare beater car. Reliable and anyone (with a motorcycle license) can use it

 

I'm wondering if http://www.motosport.com/ 's 3 day shipping is as fast as they claim

 

TW200's will rock (or sand) crawl through anything, so they're great to learn technical dirt on or teach someone with.

 

Fawk yeah. I've already done some hill climbs on it and these stock tires have done fine. I haven't found a rear tire for it that i like yet

 

How long do you think it's going to take you to install your brake lines that makes you think your bike would be down? Should only take like 30 minutes.

 

I don't bleed brakes. Can't stand it.

Having my buddy at the local shop check the valves and put the brake lines on. I'll put the new brake pads, the chain and sprockets on myself.
