  1. 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.
  2. Good advice, there are certainly still throttle control issues. Bike is solid, I have ridden it.
  3. Man, I hope my wife never makes me choose between her and my earplugs.
  4. If I do a short run like for gas for the next morning.....it feels down right weird without them.
  5. Most old fuckers don't. I am the rare exception.
  6. 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
  7. Don't ever bring this up again, but you guys rock. Excellent help.
  8. 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?
  9. Just put a dab on it. Along with the filter and fill plug. That said, I do not believe you need to do that in novice.

    Hi, my name is Tonik. Do you know know how tall Attila the Hunt was? Does the intro make my question any less fucked up? No.
  11. I got better NBA Finals seats than you do.
  12. Is that the castle in PA near the eastern end of route 6?

    I know what we are talking about. Just trying to push you over the edge and actually use that bullet. I failed.

  19. Yep, for any of them other than Harley. Dunno about Indian.
  20. He is getting one ban for bitching about the thread and then participating. And yes, one additional ban for each wrong guess. So assuming both those guesses are wrong he gets 9 days.
  21. Run your own damn ban contests if you want to ban someone. If they interest me, I will participate and give you your chance.
