wings slip-on, running without the silencer/spark arrestor

 

had a little accident couple weeks ago and tore the backing right out of the boot on the way down....two weeks later still recovering

Thank god i had mx boots had or my foot would have been broken in numerous spots

 

What were you riding?

 

the green one

 

Has anyone been following this startup? If so what do you think?

seems a little gimicky. sound through helmet vibrations, so many different helmet styles would give so much different acoustics. my sena does everything fine with speakers

 

Added some carbon bits and AFC Signals today to the Speed Triple today. Looks much better than the plastic.

 

agreed

 

New Triumph dealer just opened close to where I live/work. Cool right? Called to get a price on an air filter and CR8Ek spark plugs for my Speed Triple. I had to remove the airbox to get to the turn signal wiring the other day so I figured I'd just do these 2 things while the tank was off and airbox was out. They don't stock wither one! WTF? 2 of the most basic item for one of their popular bikes and they don't stock them? Was trying to be cool and give the local dealer some business. No wonder so many people buy shit online now days.
Rant over

 

They might stock more after their service business builds up

 

Whelp, got to use the ABS today. Gotta say, I'm glad I got it afterall. I'm usually opposed to tech and like things stripped down, but it saved me from possibly going sideways into a low side or face first into an SUV.

 

my 690e has abs too. its unique, ive tested it a few times on purpose.

glad youre alright!

i installed the rottweiler intake and power commander 5 with rottweiler power+ignition tune tonight. first impression is awesome! bike runs smooooth now and power wheelies in 3rd at 45. bike climbs through the revs happily vs chugging a bit before. very happy so far

 

Thanks. Wasn't even mad at the soccer mom that pulled out in front of me. Even though she was super apologetic. No one got hurt and the only reason we didn't collide was because I was scanning way ahead and noticed her silhouette behind the row of parked cars that was blocked her from seeing me. At the very least, I can tell she got scared enough where I think it'll have somewhat of an impact on her driving even if just for today.

 

definitely. i can understand situations like that. its the ones that can be avoided by looking and dont

 

Any of you have the Denali Soundbomb? It really gets people’s attention.

 

ABS was actually originally designed for aircraft application but was then used for motorcycles first before cars. Definitely a smart technology for a vehicle with two wheels

I didn't have it on my first bike which I think was a good thing so I learned how the bike operates without a handicap, but glad I have it on the FZ (luckily haven't had to use it yet, knock on wood)

Matt

 

sometimes i like steering with the rear or doing stoppies though..

 

My wife thinks I'm a moron when I come sliding into the driveway in a full front wheel crossup with the rear wheel locked up on my motard. But it's fun! LOL

 

Finished with some more upgrades, geared for Moab, heading there in 1 week.

 

i want to go to moab on the bike, itd be fun
