Oh come on John,you're ending this thread too soon as I'd hardly got started.As a matter of fact,I giggled to myself anytime I thought of it at work today.So,before I'm done I just have to make a few replies.Here goes........
TMKIWI- Nah,that's just me.I've been holding back for a while.
Opfermanmotors-Who's George Marshall?Moreover,the fact that his ability or riding style better suits an old big bore 2t is just fine but it doesn't make it gospel to 99.9% of the rest of the population-myself included.
evo550- FORD- First On Race Day.Yeah,Baby
Paul P - I'd love to take a crack at it.The closest I've come is a can am 400.Where are you at?I'm in Nova Scotia.
BTW,you're right and I'm likely being unfair posting that video in that locale.The terrain was a little uneven and had various
direction changes.Perhaps if I find another that is mostly straight and flat it will better highlight the strengths of the 490.
I'll look around....
Juliend- That's completely true but using that logic one could say Massa's Ferrari engine isn't that far removed from a model T engine as
they both have the same basic design as far as being an internal combustion 4t engine is concerned.Still,the differences
are far from subtle-at least to me.
John- Good post.As for the bent thing,hows this-I bought a new Maico and right away noticed the bars were bent,the rims were
bent and the frame was bent.I called the dealer and they told me to "get bent"-then went out of business-again.There,
what do I win?
