Had a special request from a long time BNN member and highly respectible 1%er. Some time on or around November 30, 2007, a girl names Carla Anne Beard was murdered in Anna Marie Island, FL.
Carla Ann Beard was found at the end of 50th St. in Holmes Beach just a few blocks north of the Manatee County Public Beach. It had been there for a few days. A $5000 reward has been offered by the Gold Star Club for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible. Contact here

dont know if its much help but i had a wide glide front end with 6 degree rake on a 92 1200 sporty .i will admit i nearly did not make it round a curve on my first run out on it after conversion,but that was my own fault for not feeling it out easy on first run .after that i rode it that way for 4 years no prob ,handled good.

Raked trees by themselves is not the answer. Take Knuckle Draggers advice and put all the information into the equation for a safe ride. I am including a site with other calculators for bikes which may be helpful. http://www.martindalecenter.com/Calculators1_3_Auto.html#AUTO-MOTORCYCLES Good Luck By: bobp on: 10-9-2007
