Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

i use fb to check the marketplace and a couple of groups for stuff but otherwise i stay off of it anymore. look through instagram more

its 44 and sunny here. debating getting my bike out for a bit too

 

I don't buy anything on Instagram though. Selling on fb is a pain. People lowball like crazy

 

that happens anywhere you post. even here. i got offered a stock front bumper which had damage and $300 for my pelfrey. yeah fuckin right

 

I was trying to sell an iPhone for 400, and someone offered me 100. I just didn't respond

 

but honestly though was his offer too low, or you price it too high??

 

Any wash with any kind of wax in it will leave streaks (shine) in denim paint.
When I was looking at new bikes the one kid at the dealer told me they cut windex 3 to 1. I am still nervous about ding up my paint,I have only washed mine with straight water and a New microfiber towel.
I did just treat the paint with F11.

 

Same -- agreed. My social media days ended when I graduated from College in 2008. That was back social media included AOL instant messenger and FB, which was limited to College students. I have to use my wife's FB account to search marketplace.

 

pro tip guys: car forums much like our TW are in fact social media networks...

 

just busting balls though in all seriousness car / bike forums are not nearly as bad as FB and IG I am sure we can all agree on that

 

The only reason I still have a FB account is so I can use the marketplace. I have a bunch of friend requests from people I've met in the last few years that I won't even accept

 

if you offer less than half of what I am asking for something.. youre not going to get a response from me.

 

Just got a $1.65 raise apparently. Time for more mods!

 

My cousin is trying to sell this if you know anyone interested.

 

Sexy

 

Nice. We were supposed to have our yearly reviews back in january..guess what hasnt happened yet.

 

I've only been at this job since January of this year lol.

That sucks though, hate that shit.

 

Woo mods! I checked my bank account this morning and the stimulus check clears tomorrow, spent the last hour or so trying to figure out what I want to mod/buy. I was semi-responsible and paid off a credit card balance but am trying to figure out what to do with the rest, because free money.

On the list of possibilities (definitely not doing them all):

- short throw shifter for the truck (URD $100 or TRD $300)
- truck exhaust cam gears ($150)
- replace the barkbusters on the F800GS ($140)
- New moto backpack (Kriega R20 or their new Trail18 one $159-225)
- Lifan 140cc swap for the CT90 (probably $800-900 total with all the additional bits and pieces)
- Rally headlight for the CB750 (no idea $)
- some kind of large rack organizer for the garage

So many wants.
