Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

thats why I put +. I figured they were much more.

 

I was just helping your point lol

 

Lol wheelies are about four things.


-Skill
-Torque
-Throttle
-Technique

If you lack in one area. . The other 3 make up for it.

for example... I had zero skill on my FZ09 with wheelies... but the torque + throttle and a little technique ... the wheelie was very do able. But they were quick. Up for a few then back down.

As I got better, it was more skill + torque and less throttle. I perfected my technique , and was able to hold them for a lot longer. . I’ll see if I can find a video.

 

I'll keep my two wheels on the ground.

 

Nope.

 

that sucks!

 

Same. On purpose anyways

 

Lol how do I upload a video from my iPhone on this forum

 

YouTube

 

gotta put it on Youtube first, unfortunately. Or another video hosting site like Vimeo

Here’s the earlier days of my wheelieing adventures. My fiancée was behind me recording.. This is a 50 mph zone. I always enjoyed doing them while at a good speed. Was easier for me.

Sound on for that beautiful Two Brothers Racing Exhaust.

 

I challenge you to the Akra full titanium exhaust with no baffle sold the bike a couple years ago though.

Almost went that route... but I didn’t like the actual look of the exhaust.

TBR.. had a carbon fiber model and I was sold on that haha !

great sound though on yours

 

I had the carbon one too. Until someone kicked over my bike, and scratched it. It was 4lbs too. The titanium one was way heavier.
sorry for the potato phone quality.

I miss my Cbr600rr with titanium Akra exhaust and arrow header. Don’t miss the exhaust running up my back on hot days though.

 

@fatfurious2 the housing market is nuts right now! Anything $250k-300k is selling right when it comes on the market and rent is $1500-1800 a month

 

Tell me about it, around here people were buying houses sight unseen when in-person showings weren't allowed.

My area is so expensive...we've been looking for a house for almost a year now. If something we like doesn't pop up soon we're gonna have to expand our search radius. But we'll be ready to pounce since we have money in the bank and our apartment lease is now month to month.

 

Sounded good, Akra exhaust is top notch!

 

That’s the other struggle is all of the houses and town houses are year leases. With our luck we will find a house to buy or move right after we sign the lease. We were thinking about renting for the first year but with rental prices being so high it makes more since time buy.
I need to be able to afford motorcycles! Don’t want to work to pay mortgage.

 

I had a trip to Utah planned for this spring (I canceled it) and I was doing research on the housing market and overall cost of living in the SLC area, and it blew my mind.
To be blunt, I simply cannot afford to live there. Pittsburgh seems to have a reasonable cost of living compared to other large cities, so I’m thankful for that. I can’t believe how expensive it is to survive these days.
