*looked* but they covered everything.

My Z has 9hp

 

Well of course lol

 

Then why in the world is everyone drooling over the things. Seems like you could get alot more bike. I don't get it at all. I think people even look ridiculous riding the things.

Its like having a nice road bicycle, then wanting to ride your kids little bike because of what? Cause its smaller? Different? Somehow that makes it more fun? Cause it make you look bigger? Lol

 

I don't think you understand how loud his exhaust is

Honestly it's just more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. The supermoto is plenty is fun and jump curbs but the grom is just fun to cruise around on side streets. Same reason I enjoy supermoto racing. It's not a speed thing to myself. I've been fast, it's boring as fuck, but pushing something to the limit is more technical skill imo

 

The new bike



Matt

 

looks so mean and the stock blinkers aren't horrible where they put them

 

Judging by how i have to say half of our conversations to him twice most of the time, i had a decent idea

 

Yup I love the looks, first thing to mod will be the fender eliminator but no money's left now

Flushmount turn signals for the front would be on the list as well but no rush...I'd rather just ride it

Matt

 

I'm pretty happy with my TST flushmounts. I'm pretty sure they make an FZ kit. Maybe not for the 17 yet...

 

Cheap to buy, cheap to run, cheap to maintain. It's the perfect city bike.

 

I vote TST! They make fender eliminator for my Z, they must make it for yours Matt.

And yes, my hearing is going lol. I really need to pay attention to hear. The earplugs just come out when i put my helmet on though

 

I can't stand to ride with ear plugs

 

Now @CanisLupus has a capable bike to ride with me, to meet you

 

I don't get what the big deal is...David I have a feeling you're not putting the foam style plugs in the correct way, I've never had an issue with them falling out.

To me they're very nice because they only block out wind noise and very loud noises but I can still hear traffic noises and my Bluetooth music with no problem. I don't mess around with my hearing, once you lose it, that's it. I'd prefer to not walk around when I'm 50 yelling "WHAT?" because I can't hear...

I wear these hooked up to my Sena. Best things ever because even if my Sena is off they still work like ear plugs.

You actually plug them into the sena?

I am on my second pair of these. I wear them at work and while i run power tools I love them but i can't stand them in my ears inside the helmet

 

I use good old fashioned foam plugs. If you put them in the correct way, they don't fall out and you can't even feel them with the helmet on.

Yup. Sena makes a mount with plug for either their speakers or headphones with aux plugs.

They don't effect me at all with my Icon helmet. It has some pretty large empty spots for your ears so the headphones don't hit anything.

But riding without music is boring haha
