Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Noice. I've always wanted a monster they're gorgeous bikes. Trying to get my friend to buy one right now.

 

So I'm all for nice sounding exhuast systems on bikes. But there is this jackass kid that rides around town with a grom with no exhuast this thing sounds like a ak47 backfire when hes downshifting. Its probably the dumbest thing to do. But this asshat rides this thing up and down the street at 2am waking everyone up.
I don't know what it is with these people thinking their bikes sound good with no exhuast.

 

Nothing wrong with an exhaust that has a nice growl within reason. Too many put something on just to make noise and piss people off. On long distance rides that added noise droning on endlessly will damage your hearing.

Went down the rabbit hole that is YouTube. Thought this was rad.

First Honda naked that I find intriguing...

 

hey, are you going to come up to Philly with us?

 

Dang that is sexy!

 

Man, I appreciate the invite but my knees, hip flexors, and semi-observant Jewishness make traveling that distance on my Sabbath a bit tough!

I need to upgrade to a super moto or naked (and/or seriously increase my aerobic regimen) before considering taking on that type of mileage...

Would definitely be up for any "closer to home" meet-ups in the future, though!

 

I know this product came up a few weeks ago, if anyone is still looking:

No pics (yet), but the project is another little Ninja EX250 that needs to be saved from going to the scrap yard. I should be picking it up in about a week or so.

 

Careful.... that’s how it begins.... (I have 2 and the remnants of 3 others around)

what year? Color?

 

I can’t help myself, I have a soft spot for the EX250s.

This one is an ‘04 and is the weird navy blue/silver color scheme that was so popular in those years.
It needs work, of course, but it has a clean title and it feels like a good idea to scoop up a bike that gets 60 MPG right now.

Hopefully I will have it in my garage by this time next weekend.

 

@w.adventures hit me up if you'll be coming through the Winston-Salem/ Yadkinville area on your way home from picking up the SV and need a food break or anything. I have a trailer and can help you tow the bike to SC if you get tired of riding.

 

Thunder Valley moto 1 about to kick off.

edit. Lites red flagged in the first lap.

 

I'll just leave this here.

Motorcycles don't melt.......Currently Accuweather shows only a 30% chance of rain in my area and a high of 77 so pretty much perfect weather.
