Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

So i have a potential deal for you..

i bought Tusk Excursion rackless luggage - 30L - 2x 15L. But its not going to fit. Any interest in my unused set? $185 shipped. (I could still return it, but wanted to give you a chance)

My rear seat is too wide. Im on the hunt for something else.

 

That's a great offer and I truly appreciate it. I just need to hold off for a while. I'm not 100% sold on which way I want to go.

I will absolutely never use this bike the way I want it to look I know this is a Tenere, but best I could do

 

Im getting there. After the tire fiasco is done, i will focus on some lights. Want to get matching baja designs to my truck

 

Yeah, Imma farkle this bitch out Been looking at the SRC light brackets..............along with skid plate/engine guard, dash, and almost every other thing they have

I'm being honest with myself on this and do realize most all of this stuff is a waste of monies.....but I just don't care. I want a "fun" bike

 

ok, what about this? $30 shipped nothing else to sell ya haha

allows you to use a Kriega bag as a tank bag

We’re gonna go break it in this weekend right?
The wife and I are thinking about attempting FPK on the bikes but could tone it down to some sweet fire roads if you want to get a feel for that rear.

 

Im quarantining from covid until Sunday.




Side note called a bunch of dealerships looking for a damn 150/70-18 tube and places are charging $50+. My friend with a damn tire machine, Motorelic (who built that Schwinn a while ago), suggested I check Motorcycles of Dulles. Called them and they have a tube for $15. So im masking up and going to pick that up as soon as they open. Also picking up a spare front 90/90-21. Then when i do the front, ill be good if i mess up again

 

I'm gonna holdout for a bit(well, lack of monies is forcing me ) and see what I want.

It's gonna be like the autozone version of bikes

 

Is that the thing there is supposed to be a switch for but I do not have said switch?

 

Right there with ya. I worked for Daytona H-D (downtown) from March-December of 2006 doing bike rentals. We even took 50 bikes to Sturgis that year to rent out. I did another stint doing rentals with Daytona H-D from February-November 2013 split between downtown and Destination Daytona. The pay wasn't great, but getting paid to ride bikes back and forth for service and talk to people about motorcycles all day wasn't bad. Every morning we rode the sales and rental bikes out for display and every evening rode them back into the shop.

 

Im half tempted to get a part time job like one day a week at a motorcycle shop. I probably suck at sales, but maybe i could move things around

 

I've got some fun stuff planned. Hopefully I'll be done before Biketoberfest. I'm going to be on the road a lot between now and then.

Nice! @LocoLocal needs this

 

not exactly, i think you are talking about a switch on the bars to change maps on the fly

some systems have that option, though you dont need it if you just set it and forget it

i was asking about what flash/tune/ecu system is your bike running on

 

@fatfurious2 How is pressure holding up? Confirmed pinch?

Oh stock IIRC. Which is more than good for me, the damn throttle is already too twitchy in the woods and on obstacles as it is.

 

thats 15.5 you cant afford it you said

 

really?? no tune no flash at all?? not even a piggy back fuel tuner??

 

I will check in a few minutes when i head out the door to the shop to get another tube. But as of 11pm last night, yes
