Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

damn idk how I’m gonna squeeze one in before the race.

 

I watch a few long range forecasters on YT and they are saying we (especially on the east coast) are going to get an early, and much cooler than normal, fall.

 

@gixxerphil or anyone else who wants to chime in..

I ordered a part from Rally Raid Products UK on July 28. I requested a tracking number from them on July 29. I did not receive a response, so i opened a case with PayPal. After waiting PayPal's time, they still didnt respond, so PayPal refunded me on Aug 11, completed on Aug 13.

(i did receive the item)

Now, 2 weeks later, Rally Raid was going through their emails and want to send me an invoice. What to do? I sent them a reply, with a little more details than above, saying I don't want them to send another invoice, and to contact PayPal.

 

Similar situation, I bought some Oakleys on ebay. Wasnt expecting much, but they came and look good.

But the box has misspellings, and they're obviously fake. I opened another PayPal case saying not what I expected, provided pictures, and am now waiting. Have pics of this lol. I also think the seller sold his fake, and disappeared.

I think I'll win.

 

Got the bikes all cleaned up! Loving the pressure washer! Only thing that is annoying is he soap container and how it burns through soap but other then that no issues!


Cleaned and lubricated the chains as well and wow mine was bad! It wasn't moving like it was supposed to do I cleaned the crap out of it and found a metric shit ton of tar on the chain and all over the bike so that was super fun to clean off both bikes for two hours!

 

Perfect weather here in the low 70s so I went out riding the tdub on the backroads again. I really enjoy doing this, 30 to 35 mph, just cruising along, hardly ever see a car. I did about 75 miles today.
I stopped in front of this beautiful homestead to take a pic.



I stopped at a motorcycle dealer and grabbed a new pair of gloves. Tried on some helmets but they did have one in any color but black, uh no, too hot. So I ordered one online, be here next week. Great day.

 

Jump the ditch!

 

I would love to relax on a Teedub and put around the side roads.

Our side roads are all straight farmers roads that go nowhere really and I tend to get bored and rip the WR to fuel cut haha.

 

What happened with IRC tires lately? No stock and no moto website anymore.

 

Heard that one flows good also. Maybe if a good sale comes around I can add it to the considerations, may as well add it to my test fit list.

 

You did a soap and water mix in the canister, right? Not just straight soap?

 

I need a new helmet. What goes with a Vespa Scooter?

I always wear my Arai on the VFR. But thinking about a "shorty" for riding the "silver surfer"
Vespa GTS/

 

I have a foam cannon and use straight soap. Makes a killer foam.

 

That's a tough one. Might have opened a case a bit quick(if I'm understanding right. Ordered 28th, asked for tracking on 29th, when did you open the PP?) I've been lucky with the couple of orders I placed and usually got them in a week or two. Admittedly, I wasn't looking for a quick order knowing where they're at and I think they're a pretty small crew.
I have bad karma, so me personally.....I'd try my best to pay for it.

When Carpuride sent me a new GPS and then I realized it was just a blown fuse I offered to send it back. The company said it wasn't worth paying the shipping. I ended up giving it to one of my docs for his farm golf cart. I wouldn't have felt right selling it.

 

Mine has a little line about 10% up that says soap, then you do the rest water. Could be different for y’all’s though. Still get good foam out of mine. Otherwise I’d be doing like 20oz of soap per wash haha

 

Dam sorry
