Nothing wrong with a good bar hopper. About 30 years ago, I knew a guy named Trona out in Northern California. He rode his Harley up to an abandoned house across the street from the bar, put the front tire up against the side of the house, then gave it hell in first gear. When the rear wheel had eaten itselft into the ground to the frame level, he shut it off, then walked to the bar. No need for a kickstand ... that scooter was held in place like it was in a vice.

You’re right but all they do is bar hop and that’s gay like aids I wanna ride not drink and kill myself

Normally, I'd agree with you. But Trona was a machinist (gearhead) who did some sweet machining. He made his own open primary setup for a belt drive that locked the crankshaft gear and the transmission gear into a rigid plane. Kept those shafts from flexing and trying to meet in the middle. Not his description, my own interpretation. It was rigid, and when you're dealing with 100+ cubic inches of Harley, that's significant.

BTW, this was back in the late 80s, so I'm not talking about what's hot now.
