Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I’ve got geico for my truck. Had my Isuzu with them too when I lived in Hawaii. Been with them for like 6+ years as well. The only claim I’ve ever had was for a new windshield on the truck. I have all the minimums on my bike insurance too. I’ll have to get a quote from progressive

 

With Progressive I pay $650/year for full coverage on my 2019 750GS, have no accidents and the only insurance claim I’ve ever made was on a homeowners policy for vandalism by tenants.

 

Speaking of insurance, what locks do you guys use? My bike is in my driveway in a townhouse community. Pretty sure someone tried to swipe it last night because it wasnt windy at all and the entire cover was off, laying next to it. Empty trash cans hadnt moved and they block most of the wind anyway.

Someone may have changed their mind when they saw it was just an FZ6R.

 

I pay 80$ for the year for my bike. Usaa

 

I change all of mine. Same proceas but the grom was an absolute pain in my ass. I dont have a tire changing stand. The wheel is so small and tires stiff that it was hard to get leverage and hold the wheel still if that makes sense. Got it done and it beat paying over $100. I put pirelli diablos on it when i changed them

 

I might give it a go. Just need to order some rim protectors. Probably getting Maxxis M6024 tires. Their advertisement sold me on them.

Allstate insurance here. Bout 290 a year, 3 bikes. 06 wing (avatar) 82 Wing, 76 Wing. Oh and a 68 CB350 but is has Historical plates and is mostly campground use.

 

I ordered my size up jacket from revzilla but it still hasn’t been shipped. Apparently they needed 1-5 business days to ship it. Like wut. Send my fuckin jacket! I wanna go ride!

 

Now I want a grom

 

man, Revzilla is usually awesome..

Im still waiting on my refund from Amazon for some shoes that were too big, so I can order my jacket and grips. Ill go through Revzilla to get the bars, and then I need to figure out brake lines for ABS.

And since the solo bag that I ordered didnt fit, Im going to be looking for a canvas bag that is slimmer/smaller. But I really dislike that look on my bike. I also dont like the bags that go above or below the headlight.

This is not appealing to me. I dont want a WW1 look

 

when I had my z125, I found out the rear tires were $30-50. So I would ride around and lock up the rear for no reason. It was entertaining to me, but probably not to pedestrians.

Imagine the fun when there are 30+ groms rolling around

I've installed 25+ tires on my Grom by myself with tire spoons. It's kind of a pain, but not that bad. Definitely get some kind of rim protection...mine look like the surface of the moon.

 

Ya I don’t know what the issue is with the delivery time. To be fair, they did clearly state it required 1-5 business days before it would ship. But I want my damn jacket! Need to know if I gotta buy another or not. My mesh jacket fits great and even has enough room to fit a sweatshirt under. But it’s so open the air just flows through and is freezing. It’ll be a great summer jacket for sure. I need leather to keep me warm so I can scoot to work in the mornings and not freeze my ass off hah

 

so what youre saying is that you need my vented blue Alpinestars jacket.. to go on your black harley

 

that is impressive. More miles than most people have on their trucks

 

That’s gonna be a hard no. But I appreciate your effort in trying to sell the jacket
