DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Tucker has the attention span of a gnat, so he's all over the place... Unless you have a ball, then he's all in! He's probably 6-8 months old at this point, so still very much a puppy. Good kid though, he'll be a good dog once he slows down a little.

 

So dropped my bikes wheels off to get new rubber put on. I don’t have Ducati dealer close by so I just took it to the Harley dealer, and they assured me they could do the tires, but if the bearings were out I’d be on my own, well long story short they called me an hour later telling me the bent the rear rim, and I need to come in and talk about what I wanted to do. Well i want them to replace it but I don’t think that are going to like the price.

 

Yup those factory 796 wheels are ultra lights, im sure u noticed u could throw the wheel and tire like a frisbee once u got it off the bike..

Also, ducati doesnt utilize a stateside distributor so all oem parts come from Italy. Cost to be the boss. Sucks tho man, good luck.

 

So that feeling when you spent a few hours Sunday washing and waxing the taco only for it to rain... feels bad.

I will never be purchasing another black vehicle. Dallas is so dirty it's ridiculous.

Also, am I the only one that thinks driving on 35E during the rain is a nightmare? You can barely see the damn lines! So much construction they've destroyed the reflector pads. Especially in the morning/at night.

/rant.

 

FIFY....

 

They wont pay that, they will pay wholesale pricing. They still wont like the price but it wont be as bad.

 

That’s IF they paint the lines for lanes.

 

Get you a set of amber color baja squadrons and mount them in your lower bumper. Turn them on in the rain and you can see just fine!

 

Just dont drive through Lewisville. They throw a fit over auxillary lights being on.

 

Yeah they got one on the way! Told me February 10th, but I would need to take it somewhere else to get the tire put on, and kindly don’t come back unless I want to trade that thing in for a Harley

 

Yeah I gave him the part number for the wheel, they want to get the old one fixed to try and resell it.

 

at the end of the day its still a wheel meant to keep a 400lb bike plus rider safe, how they managed to bend it is beyond me. Instead of telling people not to come back they should be sending their techs to a tire changing class.

 

I'm trying to sell my DCSB OEM running boards. A guy with an access cab asked if they'd fit his. Anyone know?

 

With enough trimming and ugga duggas, you can make anything fit

 

Bumped into @bvbull200 at Keller Tavern

 

used to love that place, havent been there in ages though

 

It’s still a shit hole, but it’s my shit hole

 

Dude, that was great running in to you up there! @Bigdaddy4760 , were your ears burning?

I'm down to meet up for a drink there anytime it works for the both of us.

If nothing else, I'll be doing a cook at A Bikers Garage, which is just north off 377, up in Roanoke, sometime towards the end of summer. You should come up! @RickS is a regular
