Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

First mod completed on the triple! Took all of about 10 minutes to install these mirrors this morning. Very happy with them. Well made, clean look, and most important is the significant improvement in my ability to see what's going on around me without having to reposition my entire body just to see out those shitty triangle shaped frosty blue fun house mirrors.

 

man I wish I saw this thread earlier. sup boyos

 

I've been wearing the KLIM Marrakesh, and it fukn rules tbh. super breathable, that fancy light grey color so not black/hot, and its 4way stretch which is hard to beat.

 

Cool bike, how do you like it?

 

I was just trying to watch urban hooning videos of these. Very under appreciated in here

 

I could have had a 2016 with 10 miles on it for $4100

 

I post urban riding in here all the time...

very under appreciated in here lol

 

Do you post Ducati Scrambler urban riding? I wanted Gromkhana but on Scramblers. Not dirtbike wheelies in the city

 

Definitely not urban riding, but a scrambler, y'all seen Earle Motor's Alaskan scrambler? Bike goals.

Seen it

 

awesome. I got this in the summer of 2016, & I've had a lot of different types of bikes, and this certainly is the swiss army knife of bikes. I work in the city so its awesome ripping around those streets, fine on the highway, okay off road, super fun in twisties and whatnot. Truly does it all.

This pic is taken in the city by some old railroad tracks and lets out into a plaza parking lot on a major street haha. - just part of the ride home from work

 

Bikes @ LAHarley. Fingers crossed my brakes stop sqeauking

 

Not too steamy today. Just scootin around.

 

So all this talk of paying shit yesterday had me look up my truck payments today. I'll be paid off this time next year! Almost tempted to put in a few extra payments but meh

 

hey, those aren't motorcy....nvm.

 

It even has a mount for mini warn winch. So rad. That company makes a big wheel kit for the scramblers to run 21/18 with I think +2 or 3 inches on the swingarm, if I ever own a scrambler I'd go that route for sure.

 

Questions I have after today’s ride....

1. On a 2 lane road, I usually ride in position 1 (L to R), but when a big ass semi is headed towards me I scoot over to position 3. What say the peanut gallery??


2. Approaching stop lights/signs, I always stop in position 1 (L to R), but if my escape is blocked on my left by a median or other immovable object, should I be stopping towards position 3?? And have an escape to my right??

Get out and ride y’all!!!

 

1) Same, I hate getting blown off the road by semis, especially when it's a dusty road.
2) In that situation I'll go more middle, position 3 always makes me worry about my visibility from the right.
