Does the millitant anticlone attitude make anyone else wanna run out buy a clone and vape it just to be a rebellious James Dean vapor?

Just me? Oh well.


:laugh: ... to paraphrase something that a friend recently said during yet another vapid discussion on this topic " I find that there is an equal amount of d-baggery on both sides ". ;-)

I personally feel that the most honest, objective, and fair minded participants in this sort of debate are usually those vapers who are in the middle, neither far left or right of this issue .. I have several friends, including myself who used clones to learn, and understand how certain designs work, and to figure what styles/designs are most desirable to them. And then they moved onto buying authentic versions of those things that they liked the most, and those devices they felt were worth their money.

If you are gonna listen to anyone, listen to those belonging this segment of the vaping community as their experiences and opinions are the closest you will get to the "whole truth" regarding clones and authentics.

Regardless of where anyone stands on this issue, it has been demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt that ranting on, and on, and on over the same topic is just ... embarrassing, and unbecoming of an Adult honestly.

Who has this kind of time burn? :facepalm:

Here's me with it.

Looks like it might be a touch more powerful than mine. Mine's about 56bhp. The only way to get 100mph out of it is by tucking knees and elbows in, laying on the tank and being patient.

Bought it cos all reviews say its ultra reliable. Which it has been. And if I do a 600 mile run on it, when I get off I can still walk :)

Just a touch :). 118 before I put on the TORS exhaust and changed the enine mapping.

I had a totally different vision when you mentioned a Triumph; classic, cafe racer-ish. I do like it.

I kind of want a café racer :). I love the Moto Guzzi, just wish they could give it a little more power.

Duc, love the Hypermotard, too, but the seat is just too high for me to manage one as a streetbike. I can't flat foot anything but the Diavel. I can't flatfoot my Sprint either.

My old 87 CR125. I had this bike for 22 years

I started with a CZ 175 in about 1976. It died and I went to a MZ 250. Lovely bike, I put over 20 thou on it and then one day it threw a gear cog. I rebuilt it competently with help and then timed it really incompetently and it blew up. Was bikeless till I bought the kwacker 5 yrs ago.

My ideal bike would probably be a late 70s Harley Sportster, but I don't have the money nor the skills to maintain it. And I get no pleasure out of maintenance, I like a machine to simply work all the time sans user input, hence the current kwacker.
