Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I think the main pics might be renderings. I couldn't see it either. Same how they don't usually show the water proof layers/liners. It's annoying. I always watch the videos so I can see more of the features.

 

ight cool its not just me haha. ya ive noticed its rather annoying online on some websites where they just dont show it all...

 

Just rhino line it

 

The worse part is trying to find a place where you can actually see and try on the stuff. I hit three different Cycle Gears (only shops we have up here) to be able to try on the Tornado jacket i was wanting. Very glad I did find one. Measurements said I should go medium, but I absolutely needed the small. I was swimming in the Medium I tried. Similar issue with the Helite vest, measuring said i needed large, lol. I was able to find a small used and it fits perfect.

 

now that is an idea! write this shit down!!

 

ya i agree with that one! i gotta see it in person most times! like the bilt mini v3 tank bag i was looking at looked perfect for me online and on other bikes but once we put it on the tracer it was easy to see that it was a nope!
even with like aftermarket seats! back when i was still working on my civic i had ordered a sparco seat that i thought would be the right size for me... turns out i was soooo wrong! so had to return it which wasnt to hard but kinda a pain and just gave up lol

 

hadn't heard of that one.

I started eating mostly only fresh stuff and being shaky or nauseous after not eating has gone away. also turns out if you actually have to put effort into cooking to eat, you dont eat near as much lol

 

I just buy from revzilla and send it back if it doesn't fit. theres no place I've found that carries anything I want and if they do, they have like 1 in the wrong size lol

 

The Cycle Gear closest to me let me know that inventory varies GREATLY depending on their store location. The closest to me mainly has their cheap Sedici stuff, and barely any selection in higher end stuff. They told me about the ones in Bellevue/Redmond and Lynnwood which are both nicer, more affluent areas (especially Bell/Red) having more Alpinestars, Rev-it, Dainese and just all around more expensive better gear. And for whatever reason, the Lynnwood one carries a ton of Rev-it compared to any other. It was a bit of a drive, but totally worth it in the end.

 

J&P cycles used to be about an hour from me but they were acquired by MAG (who also owned motorcycle superstore). now I think both those companies are gone.

they closed the National Motorcycle Museum too

 

Looks like J&P has two store fronts still. Detroit and Phoenix. But also looks like they are now part of the Comoto umbrella with revzilla/cycle gear/etc.

 

I have this one. Had it up to high 80's this year and it worked well. The only part that was hot is where the back pad goes, because that pocket isn't mesh. And that was only when I was traveling slowly. Also, got it for much less during Cycle gears spring sale.

 

I feel this is very similar to my Tornado, mine just has the waterproof and the insulated liner (and a neck button strap thing). I liked the versatility for here in the PNW, but if I wanted a second lighter jacket, that's what I'd probably pick up! And like you, I've seen it cheaper at Cycle Gear. And they always seem to have it in stock.

 

After trying the seat concepts low seat I found it to be too low for me. So I ordered the standard full seat. Fits me much better especially with the bike lower with the supermoto wheels on there. So anyone with a Klx that would like a low seat I have one available. Just PM me and we can talk about it.

 

We mainly cook fresh stuff it's pretty rare we do frozen stuff and we can't eat out often so we are cooking every night haha.

I haven't been able to eat a lot since I had the accident I just wasn't hungry as much back then so my stomach shrunk so it worked out in my favor haha.

 

Almost every Cycle Gear in PA has closed. I think there are only 3 locations left? Closest one now is 2 hours away.

 

Just put an Angel ST tire on the rear wheel of the Street Triple. Sweet momma, I'm done spooning sport touring tires! Was going to get a workout in, but I think that definitely qualifies! I'm either getting a dedicated wheel removal/install tool, or just sticking with regular sport tires from this point forward. Front tire will wait until tomorrow...

As for diets, I loved doing keto but everyone is different and the key is finding one you can stick with. As busy as I stay in the summer, I only eat twice a day and I'm usually so thirsty, I don't eat much. Easy weight loss!

 

Damn that sucks! What all do you guys have out there now?

 

I was gonna spoon the new tires for my tenere but after they arrived and I felt how stiff they were, I decided the dealer could wrestle them on for me lol
