Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

if you dont practice, soon you wont be able to make right turns like @uhplifted

 

I have a right hand turn off the cul de sac on my commute, so no worries there but @MagtechPA definitely has smaller chicken strips than I do haha

 

Not trying to pick a fight or anything, but where did you learn to do this? I can see it only working going very very slow. Are you trying to steer while using the rear brake to control your speed? Again, I am just asking. I've only seen people ride like this on a ultra tight road course. Like police training, or motorcycle events set up for a timed trial.

 

No worries!

It’s an exercise I learned about that helps you balance the bike at low speeds. I’m generally doing between 8 to 15 mph in those images within a 30’ circle.
This allows me to learn the balance of the bike as well as trail braking techniques and throttle control.

I do this particular exercise along with others for emergency braking and swerving.

The idea is that you learn the limits of the bike in a safe environment, and it should make you better prepared on the street if you have to react quickly during an emergency.

 

I hear ya man, and also no judgement by any means.

In my early twenties all I did was spend. Poured a ton of money into my S-10 which was still financed at the time and had an Audi A4 as a daily driver that was also financed lol. Credit card debt on top of student loans, took me a few years to get caught up...but now my finances are in check and also have been putting the bulk of our money into retirement/savings. I try not to spend too much money on parts and things I don’t “need”. But it’s hard to resist sometimes

 

Which one of you East coasters is going to buy it?

 

This is why I sold mine.

 

nice price. I cant find anything under $2800

 

Having a truck that averages 9mpg is like having a truck payment

 

could go back to stock.. but no way. Thats not an option

 

Heh. Sounds like me and my truck. Luckily no CC or student debt. Just have my truck and Harley to pay off. And the house. I try to be good but I have a problem

 

I still need a truck. Or a car at least. I don’t think I could ever not have a truck or something the size of a 4 runner though.

 

That is stock... good news is I could put 33’s on it and still get the same gas mileage.

 

i thought you were talking about the Lexus

I guess I dont necessarily need a truck, but now Ive made my hobbies around my truck. Its a part of me now. Cant imagine if I got in an accident *knock on wood* or if I didnt have it. Id probably buy it back and swap over all of my parts. And I always say its "done" but then I see something cool, and off we go again!

 

I feel you. We are about to snag my wifey a Range Rover... well.. trying to find the right deal.

 

this seems legit
