Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Yea thats what my friend told me. The rest is basically oil changes, until 10k miles

 

Yeah it's beautiful out there now, went for a walk during lunch and didn't want to come back inside

 

I need to step up my game! Still at 48miles. Little hard when it’s snowing currently. Need some spiked tires.

I had a few Intruders over the years. Basically the precursor to the Boulevard. Good bikes. Felt crazy small after I got a Softail, but I think the Boulevard might be a little bigger?

 

I don’t think I ever saw a picture of your drz400sm. Do you still have it?

 

Yep. Last bike I'd ever sell.

 

I’ve broken 250!


And NHs should be delivered today!

 

You’ve had your bike longer you should be well over 250!
I’m waiting to hear back from the guy on my rineharts. Can’t wait to get them. My seat shipped today though so hopefully have that on Wednesday

 

SE Texas weather decides when I ride! And I don’t ride when it’s the slightest bit wet. As a new rider, I have enough variables!

 

While driving on the interstate today talking to my boss had a busa scare the fuck outta me never even seen him coming probably blew past my work van doing well over 150mph.

 

I feel that. That’s why I didn’t ride to work today. Didn’t want to chance it. Will get wet road riding practice in when I don’t have to be at work in 30 mins

 

Nothing more fun than getting caught in the rain....said no motorcyclist ever. lol

People are crazy

 

I had the bike on a road trip out to Yellowstone two summers ago, storm was supposed to hit from the east starting at about 6am the day I was supposed to leave, so I ended up leaving at 4am to try and out run it. Nope, didn't work, instead spent four hours in the pouring down rain with some K60's on my F800GS (that don't do well in the wet) blasting across Montana on back highways and eventually I-90 trying to not get killed by truckers. Once my entire body was numb I hit a point of it kind of being fun and part of the adventure and all that but it was miiiiiiiiiiiserable. I still remember the exact moment the water seeped through the zipper and my crotch started getting soaked, miserable.

 

I didn’t mind riding in the rain in Florida. Would be absolutely miserable in Montana though.

 

I got caught in a damn rain storm 5hrs away from my house. Was in pa at a motorcycle meet had to get back to Jersey rain the entire time 40° degrees out sucked.. that was probably 12yrs ago. This was on my cbr1000rr

Was under prepared for the ride I think I was only wearing Jean's and a hoodie

 

at that point I would just set up camp under a bridge

 

I hear ya man, it does make for a memorable journey!

My wife and I got caught in the rain on a weekend trip last summer. We didn’t get more than a couple miles from home and the sky opened up. I was aggravated and thought about turning back to get the truck but was determined to keep it a motorcycle trip as planned. Luckily the destination was only about an hour away but we got thoroughly soaked. Also found out my luggage isn’t waterproof lol.

 

Apparently I have to pay fucking tax on an eBay purchase... and shipping is $30 from Texas to me

I guess it’s alright... I’m getting them for half off still

 

its this stupid online purchase tax bill thing.. have to pay tax on stuff like Walmart or Revzilla too
