Alaska BS thread

Heh, you guys planning on riding anytime soon?

I still need to put my front brake pads on my bike

 

Ask Daniel... the first few times we rode together I had no rear brakes hahahaha

And i'll be riding as soon as I get back hopefully.

 

Heh. i dont actually use my brakes much on dirt.... but the clip that usually holds the front pads in is grinding on the rotor and it sounds godawful

that and one time i tried to launch myself off a 10 foot drop i didnt see coming... used the brakes big time then.

 

I usually just downshift a gear or two and then use the brakes if I still need to slow down faster.

Mainly I just think it sounds cool when I downshift

 

YEsss!!!!!

 

I've been riding my motorcycle a lot but been taking a break from it people have been driving way to crazy the last few days it must be the nice weather but I can be cruising down the highway at 75 and people are flying by

 

Hey fellas, I figured Id throw this out there as Im looking for help finding a job. Been in town close to a month and have put in a number of applications with nothing panning out :/ Ive been trying for an aviation or construction related job but have gotten to the point where anything seasonal through the summer will do. I see most of you are military but if you have any recommendations id appreciate it!

 

construction hiring should be starting soon. I know a lot of places go through unions for their employees. I have always worked thought the state of alaska for construction jobs myself. They pull from the local 71 union. Not sure who the contractors pull from. Good luck!

 

I think I might get back into mortgages when I get there

 

What kind of bikes you all riding? Street legal obviously if your driving on the highways. Any dirt bikes?

 

Yeah I ride a dirt bike. 01 rm125 that I bought with a "seized" engine for $350 and then fully rebuilt it last winter. haha with my tiny ass on it I can get going pretty quick.

 

I have an 03 yamaha 125 that never gets rode because I'm on the same boat, it's just to small for me. I really want to get yz450f but just don't think I can afford it right now.

 

This was my last bike 08 R1

Sold all of my toys my 4runner is going to be expensive enough to get up there

This was a chopper project I bought and rebuilt from the ground up with a local here and finished last year




The chopper was fun to build. Always got looks but with a rigid frame and a 240 rear tire boy did it suck to drive. Too low to go over speed bumps. But it was loud and fast. Traded that for some cash and the R1 and sold the R1 in prep for the move

 

My dream bike is a 09 Buell xb12s triple black

 

RM125 here as well. I'm way too big for it but it still whoops my ass lol sold my R6 last year

 

Thats the one plus to being lighter I guess the 125 is just about perfect for me haha I'd get myself hurt on a 250 2-stroke

 

I am a tiny guy too

 

5'9" 140

 

I'm not alone! hahahahaha Im like 5'11 and 140..

 

Fuck yeah
