Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Cool. I think someone else in here said they had the transition for the RF1200. It's $200 though which kinda sucks, but it'd be great to have to not need sunglasses or swap visors. My sunglasses now are polarized and I think it gets a weird glare/distortion when I have the shield down so I just don't ride with them.

Plus, if I order right now, I could get 2 day shipping for free @fatfurious2

 

I washed my aerostich jacket and pants with Nikwax techwash and treated with their wash in. Then I sprayed it with the spray on stuff. Followed all directions....

I still have some dampness seeping at elbow creases.

I tried the Nikwax this time because it's supposed to be the best.

Has anyone else used this stuff? Any tips or tricks? My jacket is pretty old so it may just be the way it is.....

 

I ordered it.

 

Order before Sunday. Wait are you saying the whole helmet is $200?

 

I just ordered. And no. Just the face shield is 200.

 

Oh yea id be surprised if a Shoei is 200

 

The helmet was like 500. But it’s been great so far

 

The more I ride, the more I realize how distracted people are. Wtf. And some asshole today no matter where I moved wanted to be on my ass. Lord that’s irritating!





On another note, say I’m cruising along at 40mph in 3rd, rpms at 2800-2900, then accelerate and kick into 4th, rpms seem to drop down like to 2300-2400. I’m trying that whole stay under 3k rpms, but she just sounds like she wants to shift.....but would that be “lugging” in 4th gear? I’m just confused as to why the rpms dip so low if I was increasing speed.

 

Whats the redline? I would shift between 3-4k

 

Its the absolute best riding conditions right now. 71, barely any wind, and in the middle of the day, so no traffic. I wish i had a camera to show you guys.

 

arguably not as good as where I am now in the sunny desert area. Though it does get hot as hades here in the summer, it doesnt rain much providing lots of opportunities to ride. Also just found out my company will ship my moto for me, i just have to get it to the shipper and they arent open tomorrow. So maybe I will ride tomorrow, just not where I thought i was going to ride.

 

@GHOST SHIP whats the “red line” on our bikes? Seeing as we have a digital display and not a regular fuckin tachometer/speedometer

 

I thought it was like 7500?

 

I dunno. I still haven’t gotten my owners manual and spanner wrench....

 

I gotta get passengers Pegs still

 

ARAI or die

They are the only helmet I'll put on my head. Primarily because of their level of safety and secondly because they fit my head perfectly. No other helmet has come close to being as comfortable while still fitting properly.

 

Currently rocking:
