Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

That’s a better deal than I got BUT I got next day delivery with Amazon. Should be here today. Plus easy return if I got the wrong size.

 

I only wear that when it's cooler. I usually just wear my scrubs into work at this point Sometimes I'll throw the mesh jacket on

 

And b/c I'm being lazy and don't want to retyp

 

They were returned/open box items. I'm a broke bastard

 

That's gonna hurt if you go down.

 

I know better, but 5 miles at 45.........I just do the dumb shit and risk it. I'd get a free ride to work though

 

@Little Lion

Since you just grabbed a 300L....this is a great thread for ya

 

Good to hear! Yeah if my seat was black it would be more universal, but grey with that spot of yellow is limiting. I don't mind the stock scheme though the rear white panels are so big I'm thinking it could use a bit more color back there.

 

The Yamaha blue is super nice........but that yellow

 

Whelp.... END OF AN ERA! my 2014 GROM 164CC has been SOOOOLD!

WAHOO money in the bank and space in the garage!

Dude didnt want any of the stock parts so ill be able to recoop some costs with things like stock header, stock head, original airbox.

 

win/win

 

its all i wear lmao i dont really have gear...

for shame being that lazy!

true the grey is a bit off on the color scheme lol

sick! so what you buying now lol

 

You do realize most accidents occur within 5 miles of home......

That's why I want to move.....

 

hitch brace to help with wobbling, but if yours is flexing that's a little sketchy lol. Keep an eye on it

They are great added safety. definitely added bulk for day to day wear. I don't think you'll regret wearing one (aside from the cost and maybe heat depending what brand you get) aside from the cost to your wallet. The Alpinestars TechAir line is supposed to be the most coverage from airbag deployment, and I think they're good for 2 deployments before you need to send it in. They also are the most unassuming from what i've seen, unlike others like Helite which are very obvious and look a little goofy.

that looks sweet. i wonder how cosmic glitter would look on a lighter color like yellow. staying tuned for updates!

Congrats! Wild he didn't want any of the stock parts...I would have taken them for that exact reason lol.

 

Since we’re all sharing pics of our fairings…here’s the best news I could have woken up to this morning. Should only be another week or two before they arrive, fingers crossed!

 

@nd4spdbh you think its worth spending $100 on a valve shim kit for my valve check/adjustment, or just roll the dice and hope that i dont need to adjust anything?

Im thinking about getting my tank and panels PPFd while they’re off so the bike will be down for a while anyways so if I did need to pause and order a kit it wouldnt be the worst thing in the world but it would still require me to have the bike apart for longer than I’d like.

Also with my new commute I can just take the KTM or the truck so it is not like I absolutely need the S10 running like in the past.

Bike is at 24k miles so it would be its first check.

 

yaaa harbor freight man! its cheap junk haha

right! im sure it would look sick atm trying to decide to buy all the parts now or wait till after the gf moves in...

damn thats pretty!

 

Thanks! turned out even better than I expected. Now we just wait for them to pack and ship!

(easier to have them already there than explain it when it shows up )

 

Sold my "analog" enduro MTB a few weeks ago as well.... and with those two gone it made room in the budget and garage for the YT Decoy MX I ordered back in late March (Enduro electric MTB.... ya ya ya eMTB cus im lazy)

All of mine were perfect right at mid spec, as it seems like most peoples S10's are especially at the first check. I wouldnt buy a full kit. If you have a moto shop close to you they will often sell singles as needed or even trade you out.
