+1 and then some.... My usage of this site dropped 99% because of some of the language, smut, and just plain nonsense on here. I know this has more to do with individuals than site improvement (and I'm not judging those of you into it, if you are that's great for you I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to be yourself. this is a public place and all).... but I might be more active on here if there was a way for me to somehow sensor some of the stuff I don't want to see. I don't want to turn off icons entirely just because there's some users with ones that really gross me out or are just too obscene for my taste, but it would be nice if there was a way for users to flag their icons (and/or certain posts & threads) as mature or something, now something like that IN CONJUNCTION with a user CP option to censor anything that has been flagged as mature or obscene, I could probably browse this site a lot more without being slapped in the face left and right with smut and fowl language. Sorry riders, but I enjoy riding and that's the only reason I want to use a site like this. There's just a lot of other stuff on here that I could really do without and I wish I could filter that out. If I'm actually very much alone in my thoughts on this, then nothing changes - in site functionality or in my usage habits.

hey does anyone know if these can be machine washed? If not, what do you recommend for random liquid/dirt stains after sitting in the garage for the winter? (I dunno how it happened it was at my parent's garage). I don't see a tag or anything on mine and I no longer have the box so I dunno.

I know this is the worst time of the season to try to sell a bike but I moved recently and don't have access to a garage to keep it in this winter. I've been planning to sell it for a while, just haven't got around to it yet. bike isn't that shiney and clean now I'm sorry to say, but I haven't had time to try and clean it up. Rides good, starts up every time. Battery was replaced a few months ago, major oil leaks were fixed, rear tire is new, new brake pads as well. Original rear tire is still good, and that will go with the bike as well as a bike cover. I went down once when riding which resulted in a broken speedometer which was replaced with a used one. The new speedometer reads 4668 miles more than the original. Actual mileage is around 13,000, I can get you the exact mileage probably Saturday at the soonest. I'm asking $1,800 right now.

thanks! does anyone know how much these will help against moisture?

looking for some quick info about bike covers. There's different kinds, any recommendations? does it matter what kind? My bike is old and prone to rust (morning dew is all it takes). I moved into an apartment recently and have a patio area I could keep the bike. The roof overhangs a few feet but not over the entire patio. So I want a bike cover but know nothing about them. Could use some pointers in the right direction.

pic would help. So would an asking price....? Of course I'd really have to try it on to know for sure.

I can't wear a small. The medium is just right.

I used to have the black version. I'd only want this for the novelty though, I'm not a huge fan of pink.

mmmmmm EDIT: I may have to take you up on this. wont know for sure till Friday if that's ok.

I like the scorpion brands, have never worn any others yet so would have to try them on to be sure. I need a size medium, want to keep it under $200 if possible, and obviously the lower the cost from there, the better. color/graphic preferences: blue, gray, white, black, or purple color schemes. I wont buy anything with vulgar or obscene graphics.

so whatever happened with this?

I'm interested but if that fits like a medium it may be too small. I have a motoGP that I got from someone on here, it's a woman's large and it's a snug fit.

so this thread can be closed then yes? (unless you change your mind about the pants, you think they'd fit a woman if she were about that waist size?)

looks like I picked a good day to drop by these old forums again.... I was planning on possibly hitting this route tomorrow but I don't remember how to get there... if anyone could email me a google.map of it or sumthin......? much appreciated. (No I will not be getting out as early as those going with this group so I can't just "tag along" and follow you. You all ride way to fast and crazy for me anyway I can't keep up on my poor slow old zuki)...

I plan on riding but I really wanted to go to 10/22. It's just really far and my bike isn't exactly new.

interesting... I might check this out tomorrow if I don't try to go to 10/22. speaking of which I need to get the route.

that would be Robotech Shadow Chronicles. I haven't seen it. The original plastic and best buy price tag are still on it. [i have a few other robotech related items if you are interested....]

I don't want these anymore but I'd rather not throw them out or send to goodwill. I will sell both for $10 if someone here wants them. I also have a ton of anime I am wanting to sell. The photo link will show everything, sorry but the image is gargantuous. If you see anything you are interested ask me for price. You can expect it to be about the same or a little cheaper than what you'l find on amazon for any given title. here's the link: http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs50/f/2009/276/5/2/anime_by_VKahri.jpg

thanks for that... K this is what he actually said the first time he started it up...mistting fuel out the left carb, could be the float sticking but not for sure. But he said today that it didn't happen anymore, as if maybe it was just cause the bike was cold from being apart for a few weeks etc. However he mentioned the float... Last year I had the carbs cleaned. I was there when the guy did it and I saw all the parts though i did not know what I was looking at. I saw him clean them too. But there were two white-ish rubbery float things kind of needle shaped I think, one of them was bent clear down and completely out of position from what it should have been. He said he was surprised I was able to not only ride the bike but that I was getting the horsepower I was getting out of it. anyway.... I don't know anymore if I'm going to get a rebuild kit. Have to talk to the guy doin the work again.

thanks that helps.. ok next question.. say I get a carb rebuildin kit... I don't know how to do it and he said he's never done it before and is obviously uncomfortable trying it without anyone experienced around. anyone on here be willing to help me out if I got a kit?

a friend from work has been doing some maintenance for me on my bike and has recently found what he described as a leak. I am bad at recalling word for word so I'l ask him to email what he said happened exactly but baisically he thinks I should get a rebuild kit for the carbs. this be something I know nothing about. Like where do I get one, how much could I expect to pay? Or would it be better to try and get new carbs all together? this is for a 93 suzuki GS500.
