Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Was stupid hot today... But we got out for a bit and checked out some farmers markets. Is this what it's like to be old? The gf loves going to them lmao.


Also something funny a buddy in our bike chat of friends tagged me saying hey! That blue triumph you saw at ride now next to your t7 i bought it! They are giving you a 100 dollar gift card for referring me lmao. He got a beautiful triumph 660!


Bikes go in the bike rack right?

 

I always wave just to say hello and be friendly... Never understand the ones that got a be grumps about it ...

 

I haven't encountered those people yet.

 

The angry harley riders that are sleeveless never wave, I don't even initiate anymore. Not sure why they are so angry but they can stay that way.

I've had scooters not wave back, but I think its because they arent watching for it.

 

So apparently the previous owner posted the bill of sale online 13 minutes before my buddy sat down to do the paperwork for the title and registration. Which has to do some verification in the system that takes a couple hours. The gal at the DOL gave him her card and said if he gets pulled over have the cop call her. But he should be fine with the bill of sale and title. Oh well.


The BBQ place "Mo-Chilli BBQ" was great. Would definitely stop in again. Had their brisket sandwich.







For my first serious ride, it was pretty awesome. We even hit some gravel. Which was super sketch for me, but great practice. Was about 5 miles of twisty switch backed forest road. So yeah, now I'm tired. Time to relax!

 

Who had the tracking map app, and what was it? Spot something?

 

Gravel used to scare the shit out of me, it was my first chaperone ride, I even had dirt bike tires and it was still "loose"

Now I'm seasoned at it, I dont panic as much if I go into a turn too hot, I move the body and shift the weight. Sitting ahead on the seat helps a lot.

I'd even say that gravel roads are easily my favorite to ride. Beats mountains and trails for me.

 

That's awesome man! Looks like it was a great time!

Also your bike is the cb500x right?

 

Noticed right away too what you mentioned about the bars, pretty far forwards. Would probably feel really good standing though, will need a demo day sometime before I really think to pull the trigger.
