Just discussing with my wife about this over dinner(since we have a daughter).

As much as I would like to have her eventually have a boyfriend with mechanical aspirations- I would hope those aspirations would amount to more than standing wheelies blasting down the interstate at 90 mph.

636 kawi set up to stunt. Rear hand brake is under the easy pull clutch on the left. I would recommend a RSC easy pull as they are a bit nicer then that one, and not as brittle. LOL

I hope she doesn't ride with him on the street. Generally stunt riders are good, but everyone I ride with has donkey flipped their bike passing 12 once....

The nice lesbian lady I bought my motorcycle jacket from used to be a stunt rider. She said to me she had pulled some cunning stunts in that jacket.

She doesn't ride with him. He's an OK guy and I like him. Besides look what they made for my wife and me.

Okay- I stand partially corrected. If he is doing this for a living, and not just a fast and furious wannabee, that is pretty interesting. He is taking a passion and making something of it.

Now to have "the talk...."

Son... Before you tell me your intentions, tell me about your disability policy. And it better not involve a gecko...

BTW Thanks AZ_PK, nice to know that someone knew what they were looking at. I sure didn't.
