Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

there are other ways of acquiring things, ways in which one does not have to pay....

 

Most everything is overpriced at the moment. Once the bubble pops and people start off loading things....maybe I'll find a deal then

As soon as I'd do that......Karma would bite me in the ass...cause a wreck...not kill me, but make me a quad and never be able to move..............................................I can wait until I find one at a price I'm willing to pay

 

3949 miles

 

50 degrees standing is different than 50 riding..

 

Howdy all.

So I am stoked. The sprocket swap was the popular-1/+2 gearing. It went on pretty easy, other than a washer I didn’t seat correctly the first time and it was binding the chain. (If something doesn’t go wrong on my builds, well it’s not my build) The swap made the low end a bit more useable if that makes sense. Before I was doing over 70 in first, now I am getting towards redlined at 70.

I also sent my ecu to Moore Mafia. It is on the way back to me right now. I am trying to decide if I should get headers to go with my slip on, or leave the OEM with the cat. I have to disconnect the exhaust servo and pull the o2 sensor anyway or it will mess with the new fuel maps. They were $315 with expedited shipping. Check out their site, they have a good video on the flash.

Every time I think I am close to done, more pops up. I am thinking shorty levers, rear set, sliders, and I need a Healtech speedo healer. Plus on the fence about track days.

 

You have gone this far might as well get headers!

 

Proud of you! When are you ordering the heated underwear?

 

me and my buddy are thinking about a Colorado trip sometime this year wouldnt be bad to have more peoples

 

So very true! Same for cloudy vs. sunny...

Hey, me too!

Yes, yes, yes, yes, and... YES!

 

Akropovics are looking sweet I must admit.

I got my tracking # and my ecu is already back tomorrow. I sent it Thursday. I can’t wait

 

I had a arrow header with akropovic exhaust on my CBR600rr. My gosh that thing sounded good!

 

Sack up, David. I was out riding to breakfast in 29* this am

 

My neighbor invited me to ride today to southern Maryland. He is on a bagger Harley and only had fleece lined pants and a shirt. He might be crazier than me..

No thanks

 

It was 36 on my ride into work this morning.

 

Well here's my new bike. Still at the dealership but I picked up a copy of the deal to take to the credit union. I also ordered some panier brackets so I can hang some saddlebags on it.
It has a timeless classic look and feel to it.

Pretty narrow, at least until I hang the bags on it.

Ergos are perfect. Low seat height, I can easily flat foot it with bent knees. Very comfortable bike.

I look like a fat old wrinkled gray haired Marlin Brando, lol.

I'm a very happy old man.

 

Managed to get out for about 100 miles today. Temps of 40-44 the whole time. Snagged a bunch of pics for the mural tour I'm doing.



I printed out another flag at 50% and laminated it. Makes it a bit easier to have your flag in the pic and your rider number visible. Not sure if Kralltown, PA is even on the map it's so small.




Ruins Hall in Glen Rock, PA. They painted over the "Distinguished Gentleman's Ride" mural from summer. This place is constantly changing a great place for photo shoots.


Close to Ruins Hall but over 100 yards.



Starting the murals in York city. There are more than I'll be able to use as some are within way less than 100 yards of each other.




Harley Davidson final assembly plant is in York, PA so no wonder they have a mural about it.



Mural dedicated to the Children's Home of York. In the parking lot of a McDonalds. There is another mural on the other side of the parking lot as well.

 

From this location I could see 2 other murals within a very short distance.



Mural made of mosaic tiles.



Mural of early bodybuilders and weightlifters including Bob Hoffman from York, PA. York Barbell is still here and supplies weightlifting gear for the Olympics.

 

Love the old school look. I use to(and still do ) want a Kawasaki W800.





With an old school helmet to match

 

I think someone is actually making helmets with that retro look. Lol.

 

Premier makes them
