  • Quick question...

    My friend going to borrow my Tiller tomorrow.
    (he is so owned sooon... )

    So, question:
    What should I warn him about?
    Of course Im going to tell him to take it easy. He´s used to a CBR600. So Im telling him, this is much heavier, got MUCH more power than his pesky scooter ( ).
    Remember, its heavy... and got much power...

    Don´t whack the trottle, it WILL wheelie then. Dont wheelie my Tiller, you cant afford to crash it... (No stearing dampner, no oil in it now... )

    I´we gotten so used to the Tiller, that I forgot how other sport bikes feels like.

        Actually I dont let anyone ride my bike if they cant afford to fix it or replace it....think about it, do you really want to put a post up here telling us that someone ELSE crashed your bike and now he isnt replacing it.

          Money is not the issue.

          He will make up for it someway.

              Tell him to ride the clutch when taking off, put the fear of God in him about it, I've stalled mine at 20km/h more than once by being a bit careless, these things wont pick up again, they'll just stop dead, as I guess most of you know?

              A bit of wear on the clutch is better than some rashed plastic.

                  Warn him about the a$$-beating he'll recieve if he wrecks it
                  It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a bad example.

                    i've only ridden a tiller once, and it wasn't for very long. i didn't have any problem with the clutch, and getting it to go maybe i'm just that cool

                              I like to think of him as a very good friend.
                              The only one I think higher of, is his big brother, best friend for about 18 years.
                              Known them both for about 18 years, or so...

                              Well, he´s a wuzz anyway so he prolly wont hit the trottle that hard anyway...

                              Im more concerned about him falling and hurting himself. The bike, well, its just aluminuim, steel and some carbon fibre, Oh wait, no carbon fire anymore.. I crashed that away...
                              Bikes can be rebulded, friends cant be replaced.

                              And brave? Hmm? Maybe, or mayby just plain stupid. Thin line there...
