Back then a vtwins’ rear engine overheated easily. This also spins the right way to exit transmission via a drive shaft, which they wanted for being more resilient to war. Also they were quite fast. On today’s boxers you could obviously get more specific power on other configurations, however heat is still an issue on warmer climates when you travel not going very fast on higher output engines, ask anyone with a KTM or a Ducati, the character of the engine suits travelling and ease of use, and people still like the shaft. I personally like how it both pulls from 2500rpms and also sounds like an airplane at 8 or 9000rpms. I am aware it’s a Nazi airplane, though, it’s a guilty pleasure.3 points

I checked their website, there is a 500cc version previous to this one with a one cylinder engine. On that 500cc there is a scrambler version which is the base version with 150mm non adjustable suspension travel, but then there is a 200mm suspension travel with adjustable suspension. Maybe there’s some of that coming to the 700.2 points

True dat. That’s why I suggested the ground anchor, slow them down. You can also speak through it though and tell the little bastards the police have been called and if they want to remain free they’d better scarper asap.2 points

I think so, I turned the scoots lights on every hour or so till midnight, and this morning they are still coming on at start up, will make a better job of the earth lead to the frame when I get one. Car shop had a few in stock, but the post fittings are way to big, and the cables are about 4 times thicker than the scoots original earth lead.2 points

If its a leecy start and working fine it won't be the engine earth, more likely that chassis earth.2 points

I park my car as close to my shed door as possible, they may be able to get in the shed, but apart from the scoot and some oil and crappy old tools (important stuff is is our spare room) there is nothing in there worth nicking, but they can't get the scoot out, if they tried to move the car the alarm will go off, waking my wife up, I will hear nothing.2 points

Good call but I won’t get down there that fast. When you’ve got to get your leg on first things take a while longer hence my way of dealing with it1 point

I've been toying with the idea of getting a paintball marker and keeping by my bed for such occasions they will incapacitate them if you get them in the face or crown jewels1 point

So this afternoon I popped out into the lane at the rear of our house to take some cutting discs up to my neighbour. Just up the lane were two scrotes on moto-x bikes with hoodies up. I approached them and asked them how they got here , 'we didn't ride innit mate' was their answer. I laughed and informed them that a copper lives just down the lane , they asked where ? With that my neighbour came out and asked me who they were , they clocked him and f*cked off down the lane (he's a 6'2'' 21 stone guy from Greneda) . I will be sleeping in my garage tonight as instinct tells me that these are part of the same gang that stole five bikes and tools from my place of work last year. If they do return and try to take my bikes I will be sleeping with my Royal Naval divers issue knife to protect myself and my property1 point

Car wouldn't start......like it did about 6 weeks ago. Then after a few hours it started fine, but Jesus the mechanic needs to check it in it's "not starting" state. That won't happen today cos they don't work Saturday. So I had to take the wife to the horses on the bike..... I'm sure you'll be interested to know that the bike is obviously so boring that she fell asleep on the way home! Which has never happened on any other bike over the last 40 years! There we go......something else for you sad losers to troll with. The things I do to keep this board moving!1 point
