  1. Do you two have a lot of unread items? Mark all read, see if it gets better. Looking for clues since you know who is clueless.
  2. Great, now I am in two oil threads.
  3. I think @Casper took that out when he upgraded us. I can't tell for sure in the store cuz I already have it.
  4. It's a beautiful ride, but it gets repetitive after a bit. Same old scenery. Avoid rush hour on it, traffic can suck. Should be clear of tourists bit expect pockets of slow movers. I would not haul ass on it. Tickets on it are super expensive. Plan your gas stops, you have to hop off to do it. A GPS with gas stations is helpful so you can find them.
  5. Same reason Obama bowed to the Saudi king. Stupid people do stupid things. Posting this question was a stupid thing to do......
  6. Seems to me Sam doesn't need to pay as long as you are his bitch.
  7. Not my fault you run a crappy business model. You know who's fault that is? Yea, it's @Casper 's fault.
  8. Sure, as soon as @Casper starts paying me to advertise his site.
  9. Ok, so who won the contest and who am I banning?
  10. Leaving this week would be your best option for actually getting there on time.
  11. Well, all of the advice was certainly good. But @B-Mac wins for the best. I used his system..yelled at her to look at me. Also I had her do it rolling for awhile until I finally saw her doing it fast enough and letting the bike roll over into the turn. Once she did that a few times I reinforced it and had her do it from a stop. She is doing much better. Going to hit it again tomorrow after the rain stops. Might get her out on the street after that. The neighborhood is huge, zero traffic just residential stuff.
  12. Good advice, there are certainly still throttle control issues. Bike is solid, I have ridden it.
  13. Man, I hope my wife never makes me choose between her and my earplugs.
  14. If I do a short run like for gas for the next morning.....it feels down right weird without them.
  15. Most old fuckers don't. I am the rare exception.
  16. 33 db protection is the highest you can get in a foam plug. Most are actually 32 db. Which is plenty. Honestly, it's which ever brand feels best to you. I prefer the ones that are super soft... I can get them all the way in better. The ones I use are linked below. If that isn't enough you can get custom plugs made that fit into your ear and also fill the while outer ear area. They are super effective. https://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-Honeywell-Visibility-Disposable/dp/B0007XJOLG?keywords=ear+plugs&qid=1528483400&sr=8-5&ref=mp_s_a_1_5
  17. Don't ever bring this up again, but you guys rock. Excellent help.
  18. Got a friend that is getting back on. She took the returning riders course and by all accounts she did really well. She is having issues on turns, after coming to a stop. On both left and right turns she is swinging way wide. It started with clutch/throttle control issues....she was stalling. Got that pretty much fixed but the wife turn issue is till there. I think in her head she is still worried about stalling. She still isn't hard enough on the throttle, but not as bad as before. We are practicing in a parking lot, it's better but still not good. And on a few short neighborhood rides with me following she is still doing it. While it's getting better, I wondered if any of you had any ideas on what to say or try?
