Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Wow. I've been riding for 20 years and I've never picked anything up in a tire.
Of course, now I will.

 

I just plugged it on my other bike. Never had an issue. Buteveryone has their own opinion on that.

 

I think it's because i live in a brand new development, but ive had 4 or 5 nails in my rear tire within 2 years..

 

This front tire is getting really shitty. Its all wobbly at low speeds on the street.

Think i might just get the new tires on tomorrow.

 

Fuck that noise. Recently built up?

Dude you go through tires like crazy. Start learning how to spoon your own.

 

Next time you guys are out in CO I'll give a quick seminar on mounting tires as I've learned a few tricks over the years that help a lot.

 

I've got it down good already. Even the street tires I can have on within a minute or two

 

Built in 2013. I guess it's not new anymore

 

I have to pay for the tire. It needs to have a certain tread depth, and mine is just under. $220. Yay

 

Tire plug

 

Didn't know old thread got closed. This is how my day went.






And before I hear "you should have lubed the chain" I have ever since I owned it but only had it the last couple thousand miles. I'm pissed cause there were no bad signs. No chain slap, nothing showing it was over tightened. Just let go at 75 mph.

 

you alright?

 

Oh yeah I'm fine aside from a little upset. Luckily it all balled up in front and basically let me coast in neutral to a rest stop. Just pissed it happens so early in the season. Would love to source a new engine ASAP but saving for 35's and Regear on the taco.

 

Wut

 

Damn that sucks man. They always seem to break the case tok when it happens. Be nice if it was reinforced there. Gonna buy a new case or JB weld?

What don't you follow? I put a plug on my CBR and ran that tire for 8k miles or so without any issues.

Also just installed my grom integrated tail. Received the grom intake and the replacement drz big bore. But those two will have to wait till I get back in town since I'm leaving for work.

 

That sucks.
How many miles on the bike?

 

damn, that sucks. Looks like your day was worse than mine. Sorry to hear.

@Sacrifice Are you traveling to DC for work? @CanisLupus and I will ride out to meet you

 

Wasn't paying attention. Quoted the wrong person. Lol didn't read.

 

Negative. Heading back to St.louis

 

Gonna try to jb weld to hold me over this season and ultimately source a new motor or donor bike.

Supposedly around 25k but the rear sprocket has probably thrown the actual mileage way off.
