Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Same with Montana. 65 degrees on Friday. 6” of snow yesterday and today.

 

Guess you’re not riding this week

 

Already melted off for the most part on the streets. But I have to work all week

 

Me too but I’ll still go for a scoot

 

Colorado too. 70° yesterday, 25° and snow today.

 

I saw that. One of my old friends lives in Denver. Hopefully ill be able to make it out next summer.

Can you just wait 10 min, and it will change?

VA is 80 today, but tomorrow is 54. Not as big of a jump, but something

 

Rode for a couple hours yesterday, the roads were so empty it was awesome.

 

@GHOST SHIP @loosnut - based on this picture do you think i can go 2" shorter on the brake line? My new bars are 1/2" taller than these. FYI its a 29" upper line

 

I think so. Looks like way more than 2" of slack in that line and still have room for full lock to lock.

 

Thanks. Going to try a 27" line when I order. My polished lower line comes today

 

What are y’all using to wash your bikes??? I have that Harley Denim paint. Apparently you’re not supposed to use just any wash??

 

Took the bike for a short scoot to pick up a couple bags of coffee today. Shitty weather but needed to ride

 

Im not sure. I have denim red too. I thought maybe HD denim soap, but then again anything Harley is going to be expensive.

Also, I just usually wash the bugs off the headlight, and then keep on riding

Not too expensive. Maybe ebay or Amazon are cheaper? but for $9 cant complain too much..

 

Just like @TXpro4X4 always tells me.... you know what HD stands for? Another hundred dollars.

 

Another perk with the Honda Grom. First 600 mile service is $6 worth of oil

 

Craigslist charges $5 to post a vehicle for sale? Wtf. Anyways.. found someone interested in the project bike

 

Ktm - keep taking money or kick till monday

 

I saw a thing a while back that you can use a heavily diluted windex to wash the denim paint. Something like 1:10 ratio.
I think the reason they say not to use “regular” car wash is because a lot of them contain additives to add shine. That shiny shit leaves blotches in the denim paint. You might be able to get away with a heavily diluted all purpose cleaner like dr bonners.

I usually use McGuires detail spray for touch ups. I’ve only washed the bike twice since I’ve owned it.

 

Yeah it’s stupid.
