I thought this article was interesting because I've got some riding
comfort issues. However it's a long way from here to San Fransisco
so I'll have to find the info some other way. Also, I wonder how he'll
deal with bike mods. Relocating the footpegs and controls isn't trivial.

So. We are once more assaulted by that sovereign of insufferables,
Neil Murray, who once again ensues with his opulence of twaddle and
his penury of sense. He mounts his keyboard and evacuates crass
vapidities from the colon of his mind, to the capital edification of
circumjacent fools, having nothing worth saying and saying it with
liberal embellishment of bad delivery and reasonless vulgaries of
attitude. There never was a poseur as hateful, a blockhead so stupid,
a crank so invariably and offensively daft. He makes me tired.

Well, TOG, in this posting at least Mr. Upside-Down-Question-Mark's
comments seemed to make some sense.
However if they really are crap I'm interesting in learning
the true facts of the matter (as opposed to the false facts).

The only thing questionable was the assertion that UJMs prior to 1987
handled poorly because of improper front to rear weight distribution.
While neither the tires nor I were all that competent back then, I had
no problems making my 1984 700 Nighthawk UJM go where I pointed it.
And it was damned comfy too.
