If only we had a resource that lets people know when and where rides were so other could join.

Just like my ride today. I gathered all my friends and took this group photo of all of us.

I assumed the sissy bar for the front seat, but maybe from the rear seat's mount

Nope they are all seperate. She likes it that way and not my bike. She'll be getting a riders back rest next.

Why rear seat and sissy bar? Single seat looks way better and I doubt you're riding bitch on her bike lol

Her and I think a single seat looks stupid. She likes it with the rear one on.

I get the practicality, but that absolutely kills the flow of her bike. It looked so good and then you took a giant shit on it. 

I agree. But its for trips only. 99% of the time it will be the other configuration. 

Bought a cheap Chinese rack for the rear of the Scout so we could mount the Givi plate and Box that I took off of the Z when I sold it. Won't be on the boke all the time. Will have the rear seat and sissy bar on most of the time. This case will be for over night trips and touring only.

Will the next mass shooting be caused by oil rage?

He's still butt hurt that I ruined his fun on Sam's post the other day. 

If everyone questions if it's a Troll post or not...You fail at trolling, honestly just thought you were being a dumb ass on said topic.

I am well educated on the subject thank you. The problem here seems to be that you are not able to properly apply the knowledge you have to the situation.

The lower number is the viscosity at zero. 10 is perfectly acceptable unless you ride below zero.

So, do you ride below zero?

I think we are saying the same thing. The first number dosnt really matter unless your at 0. And no i don't and won't. 

And actually in the Service manual of my bike it says 5w-40 in cooler climates and 10w-50 in warmer climates can be used as an alternates.

Are you riding below zero because if not the viscosity it 10w does not change.

Beter reeducate yourself...

Do you also put 5w in a bike that specs 10w?

Do you ride your bike in freezing temperatures when the winter weight really matters?

Oil changed. Tire removed. Calipers and rotor cleaned up. Ready for new tire tomorrow.

I use Wix filters too.

Thats a $32 full synthetic oil change right there.

Old girl getting some Rotella love. Front tire coming off too. New one be here tomorrow.

Bad news from the Nerf® battlefield today. Several of the vermin are visibly pregnant. This presents a moral dilemma, i.e., whether or not to shoot. Additionally, and perhaps more difficult to digest, is the fact that I will soon be battling an enemy whose ranks have swelled in number.

Two for one kill = bonus 

Back on that train again. Jumped to 258 over the last year. Started this weekend. Goals are 229 by December 13th that's 5 lbs from my lightest.

The more I slept on the Yamaha, the less in love with the idea I was. I already have a very nice touring bike. I needed to replace the FZ6 with something more suited for hooliganism. The Hyper was priced right, so I took it for a spin. I decided I had to have it. So..  no, it is not a Yamaha. 

I thought you had already bought it.  @JustinNck1 and @Howabusa are now disappointed in you

That dose not look like a Yamaha?

I go to maybe one QS&L bike night a year. And that one time a year serves as a reminder as to...Why I don't go to bike nights. Love looking at the bikes but I usually leave pissed off at all the drinking and riding and the persona that it's better to "look bad ass" than have any kind of common sense on a motorcycle when it comes to  equipment and gear.

Everything you do puts a load on your tire. Modulating the brake is more controllable/predictable than moving your body.

You coming into a corner vs. lets say whats his face Jonathan Weaver trail braking into a corner are two different things. You do it for comfort/ thats just how you ride most any corner. Jonathan does it because he aint making the corner if he doesnt bleed speed and get direction. But hey, look at what happened to him.

That comment was for all the Weavers in the world.

I guess I didn't think about this either. It takes a little more effort to get a 750lb ST bike to turn in than it does a 400lb sporty. I did notice I didn't trail brake on the Z as much as I do the connie.

I don't know if I'm getting old or what, but if you need to trail brake on the streets, you're riding too fast on the streets. 

 

You were on a roll then fucked it up with that statement

Can't say I "need" to do it but it's how I roll.

When the majority of riders say they "trail brake"  they are really panic braking from lack of confidence in their corner entry speed 🙄

I must not ride with the majority
