Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Im sorry, Just speaking from my experience, I never looked into it till that video was posted.... which makes me heavily reconsider their use during impact stuff (Ill still use them on the standup jetski)

 

On a lighter note, my dumbass accidentally ordered a non folding ramp coming in hot at 90” long. I rounded off one of the corners and it only fits in one orientation. Hopefully the skid plate I’m adding won’t cause interference.

 

bike sideways in the bed with the tailgate closed..... DCSB taco dreams.

 

Dang, they won't fit like that in the tacoma SB? That's a bummer.

 

Lol not even close. Not even with the front wheel up on the wheel well (at least with my WR450). Had to take my tailgate off recently and have the bike sideways so i could pull a small travel trailer loaded.

 

Went down and put my deposit on a 2023 Zx10r krt . They have it there in the crate but I won’t be picking it up until April 8th. Most expensive bike I have ever purchased. Said the same thing about my 22 Tacoma.

 

That's a sweet looking bike

Nice...200hp sounds fun

 

Just got a notification that my Moto insurance went down by $215. Total is $315/yr with $3k accessory coverage too. Im not sure if its full coverage though

 

Thanks! I’ve got some new graphics coming for it in a couple of days, should make it even cooler imo.

 

Forgot to introduce my new girl! I posted awhile ago about an adventure bike (super tenere or africa twin etc). Back in October ended up buying a super tenere in Oregon, rode the whole coast of california home (1200mi) over 4 days - 3 major days of travel along some of the most beautiful coastline ever. I had never ridden one, or even thrown a leg over one but went, hell the price is right and worst case I ride home dont like it and turn around n sell it with no loss and have a great ride home.

Ended up loving it and have changed, fixed a few things and gone through the whole bike (whole rear swing arm / linkage removed and lubed, front forks off to lube up steering stem, valve check, spark plugs etc etc etc). Its sticking around for a long while.

 

My insurance with State Farm is $442.92 / year for full coverage.

 

My coverage on my KLR is 506/yr, full coverage. I need to contact them and let them know I’ve completed the MSF class, still no motorcycle endorsement but that’s a “I refuse to a pay for that and take the time to do it just to have big daddy Gov’s approval issue”.

 

A lot of states will just add it to your license with no exam or ride test if you bring in the MSF card.

 

Yeah, my state waives the skills portion but not the written. I’m just very opposed to giving the government more money than they already take.

 

How much money do they take if you're caught riding without their permission?

 

Not sure, higher odds of winning the lottery than local cops caring. Of everyone that rides out here maybe, maybe 5% have the motorcycle endorsement. It’s simply not enforced.

 

Mine is less than half that with Nationwide. Is it because I can only ride half the year?

Does the insurance company not check your license and make sure you have the m/c endorsement?

 

Im not sure if they check but they asked me and I said no, they asked about the MSF class and I said no, they asked how much riding experience and my insurance guy told me to put 8 years because of my time on ATV’s and dirt bikes.

 

Cools, but that shirt looks like it has boobies. Haha
