If he rode like that on a downhill mtb trail, he'd go over the bars at the bottom of the start ramp lol!

@waynedl99 Жыл бұрын
I think, the main reason we stand up when on rougher surface is more about the suspension than our leverage for turning. Most bikes rear suspension (monoshock) join towards the front or middle of the seat kinda area and point back and down towards the shock or linkage, so when you're sat down your weight is quite far back and quite high and making that suspension work really hard, when you stand up, your weight is on the pegs - below and in front of where the shock joins - and also your ankles, knees and hips are doing some of the suspension for your upper body too - so even though the weight is the same, how it impacts is different. If you sit down over rocky terrain, you get bounced all over, but if you stand up, it tends to soak a lot more up. Of course, this also makes it easier to move the bike with your knees, so you can be more loose with your arms, as you mentioned. On another note, regarding his 'ABS' issue, as you noticed and pointed out, he constantly had his clutch in, so with ABS off, locking rear wheel is very easy = not slowing down. 1st gear, release clutch, use brake, the engine should stop it locking the rear wheel (slipper clutch may allow some locking) and therefore the braking will actually work better..

@@morri03 yeah I've seen that video that was one of the ones that made me think it was ok, like I said the people who say they're not so far are so non-specific that it's almost meaningless. so for example if someone says "I installed this shock and it broke what a waste" well hang on now what did you do with it? was it made for your bike? was it adjusted correctly? were you pushing it to do things it was not meant to do? It's like the people who give enfield a hard time because the steering head snapped on the himalayan well sure you can say it shouldn't happen I agree but the fact is the bike is made to LOOK like it handles that terrain and those activities but the price should clue you in that it isn't meant to actually do it if you get what I mean

If you where a genuine pilot think you'd easily knew where he flies from methinks............... although he is a complete rich twonk when he comes to bikes, never seen him fuck up in any of his flying videos. Maybe in your infinite wisdom and experience you could give us instances where his flying is crap?

Not everyone, but guys like TMF ride GSs because they think if they ride anything smaller, people think they have a small peepee and/or are riding a 125. In fact, they know so little about bikes that they probably mistake my bikes for 125s, as they bimble around their suburbs at the mind-boggling speed of 35mph.

Well this one made me chuckle when I watched him balls up the original, then I loved your take on it. I am not a great fan of Missenden Flyer simply because I feel he tends to be a tad condescending. I could not believe that he put the springs on top to bottom when he should have put the bottom bolt in first. I would love to know what his "mechanic" thought of him when he had to turn up and do a proper job! Mind you why did he replace the original shocks that were fitted at the factory in the first place? When the new ones pissed oil he should have put the originals back on rather than spend a load of money on upgraded ones... Er its an Enfield not a racing bike... Sort of sums him up really.... Great video keep them coming always cheers me up and I learn a lot as well :)
