can,t go wrong here mate.. the worse part of chrome, for those who look and don,t ride, is at anywhere from about 11 to about 1.30 your blinded by the shit, i have slung a little swag with me 'wets' on the handle bars and risers to shut the bling off the top triple trees down, at least i can see where i,m going now, chrome looks ok but its a pain in the arse when your doing serious miles..and i love the look of my blacked out motor

Droped my baby yesterday

why cant they put decent drainage on u turns

falling into that shitty water pissed me off more than droping the bike

lol

If its to heavy for you....poor wittle thing....get a little wave or something more suitable...

Before making smart arse comments try asking the facts I have been riding big bikes many years the weight is not a problem

I can testify that when a Honda wave falls on top of you it does not hurt.

I was pissed at the time though. No sense no feeling.

They are very top heavy bikes and although I've not dropped mine, I can see that it's easily done. Even more so when your chick is on the back.

not funny Nawty.
can be painful.

Only once I came close to dropping the TLR., I had the wife on the back and pulled into a car parking area at a hotel, The ground was covered in light green moss and when I tried to put my feet down they just started sliding, The missus was smart enough to jump off and grap the back of the bike other wise it would have been on top of me

its clear you have never ridden a much more than a girly scooter or you would have the sense not to make stupid remarks over the years i have lost many friends on bikes many of which were very good and careful riders.
acidents can happen to all of us normally caused by unexpected conditions or other idiots on the road .

and if you ride a scooter be carefull coz they will have you doing superman impressions at a blink of an eye as a friend of mine found out on his nova 135 spent 3 days in a Hospital broken ribs shoulder and leg injuries

all he did was hit a pot hole

You should try a XT600 Tenere, 30L petrol tank on a already tall bike, now that is top heavy!

I never dropped mine but had several close calls with a full tank and someone on the back.

it's bright in here!

You should warn people to put sunglasses on before posting those pics! Or at least squint before looking.
