Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

to be fair id like videos of when i fell as well but the gf was more worried if i was okay lmao

 

Use it as a keychain. This is from my dirtbike wreck when I was 21

 

oh god! i think yours is worse then mine lmao. also keychain for what loil this bike dont have a key!

 

Keyless bikes FTW.

 

its so odd for me! the only bikes that ive owended that didnt have keys were like 90s dirtbikes and atvs lol

 

I don't think he has any. I was ahead, and all he could hear on the cardo was "oh shit im down!"


And then I texted my wife, I crashed. With no other context

 

Lol. Drop in the bucket.

I have spent at least 10k in parts....

Not sure what kind of clutch your bike has. I'm guessing it's cable?

 

bruuuh if i did that my gf would beat the shit outta me lmao

oooh those lol nah i havent tried them yet!

ya its cable idk if ive ever had a bike that wasnt cable.

 

Haha the green bike is an esker elkat, it's a super fun bike. The rack is made by alta, I modified it slightly to fit my 1up. Otherwise it would take another alta rack just fine.

300 xtrainer... I'm more of an mtber, so a 300 is big to me!

 

Buzziness on the FJR forums is most usually noted as a throttle body sync issue. Some owners even do the sync at a higher than specified RPM range and then live with a less than perfect idle to make cruising RPM more palatable. I've added heavy bar ends to all of mine and that has helped out a lot.

 

Got out on Sunday for about 355 miles in the western part of PA gathering up more points for this year's GLMC grand tour. These pics aren't nearly as fun as last year's mural tour but since i nabbed second place last year this year's entry fee was paid. Compass points in case anyone missed it. Cities, towns, villages, townships, boroughs, counties, etc with north, south, east, west , or center in the name.








As of today I should be sitting at 156 points so far. Last scoring update was posted on May 29 and at that time I had 98 points and was way behind the first place rider sitting at 173 yet I had a good lead over third who showed 73 points. Problem I'm starting to run into is how far out I now must travel to find points!

 

I don't think arc makes a cable clutch lever. But they are my favorite levers and won't break. I've tried a few different high end ones.

300s are overrated anyways!

I put my mtb inside the car. But my car doesn't have that great of a tw rating.

Hopefully today at lunch I plan to insert the rack and put the bike on to test what it looks like static at least

 

is your bike not a cable clutch lever? never heard of that tbh lol

 

I envy all this saddle time. And speaking of saddles, yours looks amazing! Who makes that?

 

No it's hydraulic.

 

Caught during the move on Saturday....my pals have good taste in trucks.

 

That one is a Saddleman. When I bought this bike it came with this seat, a Sargent World Sport seat, and a stock seat. Stock FJR seats suck. I tried the Sargent but felt it was too hard and not shaped right for me. This Saddleman I really liked the look of it with the sort of slot in the center to allow some airflow under you and it's reasonably comfortable. For any serious mileage I have a Laam custom seat on my 2014 and just swap seats around.

 

Seems anymore, OEM's just throw a seat on the bike expecting it to be removed. None of my bikes have the OEM seat on them! That Saddleman looks to have Russel Day Long function wtihout the Barcalounger aesthetic! Russel's look more like the Laam, but not as sleek.

 

ooh fancy fancy! how is the feel of the hydro vs a cable clutch lever?
