Your clutch work isn't fine if you are dropping to idle on your shifts and it is jerky. Sounds like you are letting out of the clutch and slamming it then getting on the gas. if its not smooth you are doing it wrong. But yes clutchless is better if you keep your rpms up. Some bikes take a little less thought to clutchless upshift than others.

Sounds like you are doing the clutchless upshifts wrong.

I was going to look into buying 1 after my wifes accord is paid off in a few months. But screw that I think I'd tell them to go scew themselves instead of paying extra for nothing.

Missed connections thread?

Can I get a price comparison for a Bazaaz and Power Commander shipped to 85602 please? Just the basic units for a 2012 zx-10r.

Long hair?

But you are preserving the right to open carry by telling people not too? What's the point of preserving the right but not do it and discourage others from doing it.

You are just now figuring this out?

Too much wind resistance?

Are you going to start a " you might want to cover that fat ass better" thread?

It's not a matter of them being against us its that their view isn't going to change wether they see an open carried gun or not. Like i said I shouldn't have to see fat people wearing undersized clothes but its the way of the world and I accept it. Really how does seeing a gun negatively affect a person? It's all them that causes any issue that they have with the gun. Some people get put on edge by seeing people with tattoos so do you tgink all people with tatts should cover them?

There is no benifit of catering to people's ignorant fears. Did the guy or gun you saw actually do anything to anybody? I doubt it. Call me an asshole but I'm notgoingoing to stop riding my sportbike because people have a negative view of bikers. I also am not going to stop carrying guns because people don't like it. How the gun is carried doesn't matter. People who don't want the gun carried openly probably dont want them carried concealed either. If its ok to carry concealed in their mind but not open that's irrational and illogical.

Wonder if it actually is comfortable and has good crash protection.

Thats your opinion but mine is that 1 there is no reason for them to freak out 2 they need to man the F up. An open carried firearm does them no harm carried in a legal manner.I don't like seeing fat people wear clothes that are too tight but you don't see me freaking out about it or boycotting Wal-Mart because they let people do it. Ive said it several times before, our society is getting softer and more passive while the world around us keeps getting more and more violent. It makes us appear weak as a nation to other nations and they are probably right.

How long has NY had their strict gun laws?

First it is illegal for a cop to detain you without probable cause. Open carry does not give a cop probable cause to detain you. So your scenario about ruining breakfast is hypothetical and bogus. I never said it was a political issue just its none of your business how the guy legally carries his gun. People seeing a gun on the roadway and getting worked up over it are irrational and need to learn there is nothing wrong with it. I bet most of those same people that you mentioned have no problem seeing a law enforcement officers gun what's the difference with a law abiding citizens gun? I would also venture to guess those people you mentioned would have no problem watching a movie with gun violence. What those people need is to be retrained that good people with guns are not a bad thing. Not having their ignorance catered to by walking on eggshells around them. It's a form of conditioning (i can't remember what its called, I want to say classical conditioning but not sure) that is needed. It's like a young horse when it is first born it is terrified of cars passing nearby on the roadway. But more and more cars pass and little by little the young horse loses its fear of automobiles. Same thing people can handle seeing a gun the more they do see them the more used they get to them and realize that those gun never hurt them.

In my personal opinion no but legally yes. Provided he gets caught.

Yep.

All the "negative consequences" you mentioned are hypothetical what ifs. I'm willing to guess the guy you saw hasnt had any of the negative consequences happen to him. If it were that bad he'd probably not be doing it. The problem is not the man on a bike open carrying. The problem is the ignorant people that freak out about it. The guy is not in the wrong at all. As a gun owner did you really have any issue with it other than scaring soccer moms? The people who will freak out about it are already set in their ways and seeing a gun will not change their perception. It's like people who get all worked up because their neighbor let's his pit bull or rotweilier or doberman or German shepard out in his yard off leashand they get scared. Those dogs could be the nicest dogs in the world and the scared neighbor would still freak out and maybe call the cops. The cops will most likely tell them that as long as the dog is in his yard there is nothing wrong with it. Same as they should tell the scared soccer mom as long as the guy is in an area where guns are allowed and he isn't threatening anyone there is no reason to call. I mentioned the rural area because you see it everywhere out here in the rural areas. You also see people open carrying in Tucson a lot too . The point being that even people who don't like guns can learn and see that just because someone is open carrying doesn't mean they are dangerous. If enough people do it it becomes a normal sight and the scared people will get over it. But if everyone caters to the scared peoples mentality and hides their guns people will freak out when they see one. So there isn't a reason why you or I should tell someone how to carry their firearm. If the man wants to open carry let him if he doesn't that's his choice. I don't know why you feel its become personal. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Since when did carrying a gun become a violent crime? Since when does carrying a gun mean you are going to commit a violent crime? I must have missed that day at the academy. I can tell you as a law enforcement officer I would never respond to a report that is simply a person is minding their own with a gun. Stopping someone just because they have a gun would be illegal. If they were headed somewhere to do bad things like you seem to be saying since their gun is showing and you stop them what makes you think they will admit they are going to do bad? Would you think it is reasonoble for a cop to stop someone because they have a gun in a rifle rack? Or a knife or baseball bat? You'd probably shit if you came out to the southern rural parts of Arizona, most people carry guns. People often open carry guns even in the grocery store, restaurants and yes in/on vehicles. No one cares because they are used to it and realize good people with a gun is not a bad thing. The reason being is because those who carry guns here don't hide it because they are scared of offending people.

Just carrying a gun is not illegal and not an indication that a crime is about to happen therefore no reason to respond. Your comparison is about the same as saying that riding a sportbike opens you up to have people call the cops because your bike could go fast.

Just because people are ignorant of the law and departments to lazy to train their officers that carrying a firearm does not give them probable cause is not a reason that I should curtail my own rights. If more people did open carry they would show the ignorant people there is nothing wrong with it. PD departments need to tell people there is nothing wrong with law abiding citizens with a firearm. Educate by being a good example. The soccer mom you referred to is already trying to push for laws against those scary guns but where has that gone so far? Ive got no problem buying 30 round mags yet. Also cops who would be ignorant enough to respond to a call of someone not breaking the law probably won't be much help with something "more important".

What are you talking about?

Oh shit my vacation to Ohio may have just gotten better!
