Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Im pretty sure ive lost hearing. No baffle on the Akra Titanium, CW on Triumph was setting off car alarms, Nightster had Vance & Hines exhaust which was LAF*, and before that, when I had the F4i I would rev it to 16k under bridges with the D&D exhaust I had. Scared a few people. But that was when I was young and dumb

 

i dont hate my ears, i wear earplugs on long rides.

 

Who? You mean Wrench?! The guy who spends more time wrenching on broke shit than actually riding.

 

i dont like the feeling of ear plugs in my ears

 

I hate it.

I will not ride with ear plugs in. I don't even like headphones in my ears while riding.

 

I want to try to ride with a Sena 20s. Streams music and maps and calls. But I usually just sing to myself

 

You might have done ok on price. Time will tell. Steel rear sprockets are more durable than aluminum and they cost less. Take the plug out and see what color it is. This is a good indicator of what the jetting is without opening it up. There are some companies out there that specialize in pipe repair that may be cheaper than FMF.

 

I usually talk to myself or scream inside my helmet at bad drivers.

 

Coming from the guy who spends all day trying to figure out how he can lose .1 more pounds on his bike....

I kid...

 

me too. Should start a vlog

 

Don't get me started

 

I bought the wrong gopro

 

should I get these?

• Weight savings: ~0.1 lb front / ~0.2 lb rear

Sale means buy, right?

 

i ride all the time. only thing stopping me is being out of town

you get used to it, also makes riding much more comfortable if you are out all day

how come you like dick in there then?

all of the senas will stream music/maps/calls

 

Anything else thats kinda a most do for enduro/ hare scramble bike? Do you race? Its got new steering head bearings and front wheels bearing as well. Heck usually you cant even find a running bike for less then $1000, i think I got a pretty good deal. Like you said, time well tell though.

 

There obviously a must!

 

In my ears? I don't. But thats mostly because I haven't found two that fit and coordinated them to be inserted at the same time.

 

Would.

 

im thinking about it, but i just bought a bunch of truck stuff. Gotta hold off for a while. And I havent taken the wheels off the FZ yet. Should be easy

 

I said when i got the bike that i wanted to get it as close to or under 300lbs wet (without sacrificing too much) as I could. Not sure why people think its funny.

I can't really justify carb/cams for the bike while working on the truck....so i'll be sticking to little things that may or may not help save weight.
