4 and 1/2 cases.....just so you know...
« on: October 15, 2012, 05:21:03 AM »
A friend of mine and I made a beer run to Ohio for Yeungling last Friday. Put about 350 miles on and figured out that the C14 with an E55 Givi and a cortech tank bag will hold a full case of 12oz bottles and 3 1/2 cases of 12oz cans.....the handling does get a little funky but nothing horrendous.

On a side note: Spokes restaraunt in Pioneer Ohio has excellent liver and onions.

Side note 2: A BMW R1200RT will kick your butt in roll ons in top gear from 60..... but a few downshifts and the C14 leaves. ;)
No, really, she is the best and I can prove it...

I don't always drink beer, but when I do it is Yuengling Traditional Lager or Black and Tan.  8)

I hit Hwy 49 across Alabama yesterday fully loaded with luggage and definitely felt it in the twisties.  Can't even imagine all the liquid moving around.

Brought back Black and Tan in bottles, traditonal lager in cans and light lager in cans.  ;)

Thankfully, liquid in a full container doesn't slosh. It was a great excuse to play hooky from work and ride.

6th gear is too tall. Leave it in 5th and she should walk away.

If you get kicked in the butt by an RT at any speed, you're doing something wrong!!

(Says one that previously rode an RT)

Not nice to make that kinda statement without offering up what beer you prefer to drink instead so we can know how to validate your claim.  ::)

The RT has got LOTS of low to mid where the C14 has none. A Guhl reflash is in order for sure. She is plenty fast stock but you have to spin it. You should not have to spin an engine this big to make gobs of power.

As for the beer. It's a nostalgic thing. We can't get it here, I grew up in PA, and I like it when I want something light. My favorite is Stone Brewing Company Oaked Arrogant Bastard  Ale.  ;)

Wow, my RT had no low to mid range, where my C14 has a ton.  Plus it was geared too tall in first.

I am a beer snob of the worst degree, highly favor the small batch brews. IPA's, stouts, bocks, pale ales and high quality hard ciders........not a fan of big conglomerate companies. I like craft beers, not crap beers.  ;)

I like Coors Light and all 'normal' tasting beers.  Hate beer with a 'flavor'.  Hate micro breweries.  Love the stock beers of the 60's and 70's.  :doublepuke: :rotflmao:   I'm a snob as well.

I have great memories of 25 cent Pabst Blue Ribbon on Tap in Daytona Beach in 1981.   8)

Today I can't drink anything from anheuser busch, Miller, etc.  But I definitely am not drinking beer with other flavors added either.

some folks don't know what BEER is supposed to tast like, just what the tards on tv tell you, and what you can get in the cooler at Quicky-Mart....might as well get a Slurpy and a SippyStraw at the counter, and take advanteage of the "point of purchase displays'.....thank you, come again......




real BEER, is a brewed concoction, and they are made with :
Barley
Water
Hops
Yeast


the types of each, and the quantities added, along with the time elements during the brew cycle, all yield beer.....
no other flavors need to be added....just some folks are afraid of Hops....(ewwwww) or yeasts that aren't made in a labororatory in Milwaulke...


sipping a "Green Flash Brewing co." hancrafted barleywine from SanDiego right now....mmmmmmmmmmmmmm 10.9% abv, 22oz bottle...
@$5.49 ea,   pure pleasure.....

MOB....... Greenflash is EXCELLENT, I love the West Coast IPA and the double stout black ale. Now these are 2 good examples of what authentic high alcohol and high taste content craft brews are, and my list of others I love are huge. Why drink beer that has no taste or kick, and all it does is make you **** allot? Life is much too short to drink watered down flavorless beers with no character.  :stirpot:
