But if you're happy

Not too many cruiser guys here I guess. The new Indians are very well balanced Motorcycles. Don't feel the weight especially on the highway. I am pretty excited about the new one because there is only 300 of them made and it was painted by people not machines.

 

I saw a guy get into a corner with this bike. I think he might have scraped the exhaust.. he was leaning so much

 

I never owned a Victory but I rode a few. They were what I wanted to aspire to until 2014 when the Indian came out. I don't get crazy but I do like the occasional blast up to 110. I was leaning into a turn last year at about 80 and my friend behind my said he thought my pegs were 1/2 inch from the pavement. I was sad they canceled Victory. Been a fan since 1998 but was not able to afford one back then. Plus Polaris can noe concentrate on Indian and we get new models like my Elite. HD also upped their game the new 107 motor looks beastly and liquid cooled. When I was picking mine up the other day I saw 2 guys picking up Victory octanes. 104 HP and about 500lbs. Those look fun.

 

dont have to lean much

you lost me at 500lbs. heavy as fuuuuuck.

 

My FZ is WET WEIGHT (FULL TANK) 414 lbs (stock)
Z125 is 224lbs wet

 

my cbr was 420? with a full tank, pretty typical for a sportbike.
grom around the same. i picked it up off my tailgate.
450 ~ 260lbs with the most power
drz ~ 320

 

Like I said. Not many cruiser guys here. Maybe change name of thread to sport bike bs thread.lol

 

Ha no one is hating. Just not my style is all, still glad to hear you're at least riding

 

Went for a 200 mile ride today and found a finishing nail at mile 40 in a parking lot. Had to call my dad come pick me up 30 miles away. 4th tube i've blown on this bike

 

Damn that sucks. I've yet to pop a tube riding

 

I'm here.

 

Some how the nail went into the tire in between the treads. Pissed me big time since it was a perfect day to be on a bike

 

Should have bought another tube and swapped it. Unless you don't do that yourself. Only takes like 15 minutes

 

I didnt have the tool with me since i was sticking to pavement. Im changing out the tube today since its suppose to rain

 

My ride...'14 Street Glide

 

Sweet!!
I have never been a Sunday morning type of riding guy. But damn I get it now. Long Island is beautiful on Sunday morning before the astronomical amount of traffic starts. A quick 130 miles this morning before I had to come back home and pick up my wife for some afternoon riding.

 

if i aired the tire up to 70psi and didnt hear a pop should i worry bout the bead not being seated right? The tire looks like it is sitting in the correct spot

 

on a bike? Did you try to wiggle it around and see if it will pop?

 

My experience is with car tires but sometimes tires dont "pop" when the bead seats, sometimes it just slowly fills and seats the bead quietly. Never worked with motorcycle tires like that though.
