Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I've been tracking mine for several years after following a friend of mine who rides every day, year round, and tracks his mileage. One of the toughest challenges is to ride every day, 10 miles or more, for a full year. My first attempt ended at 294 consecutive days. The second started only about a week after the first ended. Second time was the charm and I rode from mid March of 2017 every day until mid January of 2019. 680 consecutive days and the complete 2018 calendar year. I decided that was enough and I had proven myself with a "perfect year".

 

been parked since uhhh yup!

i dont remember anymore lmao

 

you aint ever living that down!

 

Could be worse things

 

haha very true

 

I took the bike out for a rip in the most recent snow and accidentally made a pair of tits.

 

That's why you get the umbrella/sword combo! Give 'em a little jab and then you can be all "Who's laughing now?!" as you break into a little Fred Astaire number!

 

"accidentally"

 

Better than some I've seen that were built

 

Ya know, walking around campus today in the pouring rain, seeing these drenched college kids not using umbrellas......

WHY?!?! Why is rocking an umbrella frowned upon? I dont get it.

 

on a serious note though, nothing wrong with it. I forego the umbrella because it's a hassle to deal with. i'd rather just deal with getting a little wet, which usually happens anyways with/without an umbrella.

 

New tires on the Super Duke -

 

Those north west people don’t believe in umbrellas! I learned real quick when we moved to Alaska from Florida to get a rain jacket.

 

Is it weird that I find new tires... mildly arousing?

I'm running that on my FZ1 currently and really liking it. Hoping to get more mileage than I did from the previous CT2!

 

Thank you for sharing

 

Well, the first thing is they require some degree of forethought. Meaning I’d have to make sure I had one with me before I needed it.

 

I feel that. I just got a pilot road 5 delivered for the rear of my super tenere... And I'm having a hard time to not buy a matching front cus new tires front and rear at the same time is choice.

That stated, the current front has plenty of life left and it would be a waste.... The rear though... Sheesh the torque monster that is the super tenere and my heavy hand chewed through that conti trail attack.. got maybe a few hundred miles left in her maaaybe.

 

Nothing like the smell of fresh rubber. Glad to hear you’re happy with them. I’m hoping for decent mileage too. @but why tho just put a set on his ST

 

@BkerChuck you need a parts bike lol
