Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

that sounds like a nightmare.... thank god the drz is just three twist things lol

 

I feel like most street bikes are this way? I have to pull the tank off my Versys to get to the air filter.

 

lol same here....





but that face they all made when I showed up with my first bike, as soon as I was old enough to piss my own dollars away all those years of waiting finally came to an end


its a shame, the discipline through motorsports at a young age could have been good for me, or possibly killed me

 

In my old Kawi it was under the seat if I remember correctly. No wait, it was accessed from one of the sides and it slid out. Just one screw and one panel had to be removed.

 

Yup my old bmw was the same way, remove seat and fuel tank and then screws for the airbox cover..

 

yuuup my dad wasnt to happy when i got mine but at the same time he was like alright cool ill get one maybe! mom was piiiiiissed! she hated my bike and when i had my accident threatened to destroy it.... soooo it stayed at a buddys place for awhile lol

 

Any word yet from insurance about your KTM?

 

I couldn’t understand it he rode motorcycles and let me ride a crappy minibike and eventually his old Honda 350 but wouldn’t let me get a dirtbike. I even had my own money. My first purchases were actually quads. I waited way too long to buy a street motorcycle. I think I was 27 when I got my moto license.

 

My problem as well. Have tried so many combinations of "fixes" but still no winner. I think some snow machine helmets are heated. Or maybe just the goggles?

I like the shoeis a lot, too bad my long oval head doesn't fit. Much more reasonable price than the Arai I'm rockin. Bonus is that the Arai has slots in the side to fit my glasses and oakleys.

 

My next dirt helmet will be a suomy. Tried one of their helmets on and it fit me perfectly! Haven’t tried one of their street helmets on yet.

 

My commute is short, so I just crack the visor while moving and live with semi frigid air coming in, it's really only bad at stop lights when I have to put the visor fully up or my glasses fog over.. This mornings commute was high 20's.

 

My commute is 19 miles. Opening the visor a crack is exactly what I do. I don't mind the cold, it's the rain coming in that makes it suck, but it's only 19 miles.

 

I'm a fan

 

How do you like the tourer? Thinking it could be an option for the Grom and future T7

 

havent heard of that one ive mainly used fox dirt helmets over the years

 

they got any other colors

i like the yellow ones wish they had more visor color choices the dirt helmets look really neat with the designs on them!

 

I like it. I use to wear Shoei, but then my old roommate got sponsored by Suomy(just got stuff at cost, no money) and I started wearing them. I didn't realize it was one of the lightest made.....so that was a plus
Now the only other ADV helmet I have to compare it to was the HJC I bought just to wear until my Suomy came in.

Just a few.

 

totaled out... and its bitter sweet. basically I broke even..

so took the money and dumped it into the tacoma

new tires, new wheels, new headlights
