Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

We have a bro at work that has a full sheep skin KLR650, not my cup of tea by any means but I get it.

I wish I had a DR650 or XR650 instead of my stupid wr250, but each has advantages and disadvantages.

reminds me of this one I saw on Reddit awhile back

 

is that the dude from Canada that went to Alaska first?

i follow him he is interesting to watch since he doesnt have much in skills but is always positive it seems.

 

I've been watching him(on episode 11). Dude has got some balls to do something like that with his first bike. Learn as you go

 

I’m getting a case of swamp ass just looking at it. Seems to look very hot in the crotch to me.

 

i always thought they were slippery tbh but i know a buddie that has like beads on his seat!

 

Beads and bunghole?? I’m good thank you.

 

i know right haha idk how he likes that one!

 

Hims does hims.

 

Back on bike stuffs. Decided to grab a tire inflator and I found a No-Mar tire changer with extras for $175. Waiting to hear back from the seller.

 

Funny.. I ordered up the moto pump an hour ago.

 

I'm sitting at work watching the guy from above. He's having flats in episode 11....it reminded me to get one

 

Right right.

I’ll have to check out that link in awhile.

A Nomar for $175 is a steal. Pays for itself quickly at that price. On the mount/demount bar make sure to order yourself a spare end or 2 right away. While learning to properly use that bar it's easy to break toe replaceable tip. DAMHIK.

I need to order a spare myself.

Just visited their website and found they're on sale. This is the very one I bought and use.

This is the one I'm waiting to hear back about.

 

That looks just like mine. Price is great and it should clean up easily. If you do purchase it make sure to watch a few of their videos for how it should actually work. A friend of mine has one and he was who showed me how to use it at first. I could use it but still felt like I was struggling on a few things. Watched a few of the videos that Nomar themselves had on YouTube, changed some minor details and it works a lot easier that when I started out.

Good luck and I hope this works out for you.

 

I watched a few vids after you mentioned the company. I had never heard of them. Just another "helpful" hint you can mark down

 

Not sure if you'd be getting any form of balancer with it or not. I won a certificate for half off a Marc Parnes balancer at a FJR forum event once and took advantage of it buying his balancer instead of the Nomar or Harbor Freight. His stuff is a bit pricey but it's incredible. Axle of it is just super straight and the low friction bearings he uses are nuts. When I balance my wheels/tires I have to shut the garage door because the slightest breeze coming through will start it spinning again. Every tire I've mounted and balanced has been rock steady and vibration free at license suspending speeds.

 

you just put the balancer axle on jackstands?

 

Yep. The Parnes balancer has 2 end pieces with a flat milled into them allowing you to just set it up using 2 jack stands. Beyond me doing something dumb like setting one of the stands on a small stone or the like I've had zero issues with it. Nice thing is it takes up almost no room in my tool chest that way and is easily portable.
