i was thinking about getting the riding pants that are basically just really thick jeans, anyone know if those are good?

all the pics except the first one in that post are broken found some on her myspace page, i need to buy some riding pants ASAP. i wear jeans but im not sure how much protection those are gonna give if i ever dump the bike :/

I'll be out riding... To work :/

oh gotcha and yeah, i tried everything from kerosene and a rag to wd40 and a nylon brush but it is not worth the trouble to me anymore cuz my next step was to take it off and soak it in kerosene and in the end the o rings probably are shot anyway.

sprockets are good, the reason im replacing the chain is not because it is worn out but because it is impossible to clean, i have tried everything but since it was sitting outside it is basically garbage. the sprocket still has a lot of life in it. edit- and im not sure why you referenced my thread from a few days ago lol

actually i was told it was a bit loose, doesnt matter though cuz i have a new one coming in the mail this week and ill be adjusting it anyway.

im talking about turns in town, like 90* turns left and right, the twisties are cake lol

redline is 14k if i remember correctly and its not that im shifting out of first, i just dont go down to it but instead use 2nd around a corner because its easier and when i go into 1st i tend to make the back wheel hop so i have just been sticking with second, but i dont shift until 10 or 11k after im around the corner and i agree, i need a track day

yeah, i have noticed it doesnt really like to be under 4k and until it gets to 6500 you can feel it hesitating, this thing REALLY likes to be reved damn, didnt know it would be that much, and i do about 4k in 2nd and 6k in first, i must not take corners as fast as you do.

double post

im sure ill get the hang of it eventually cuz i have only had the bike a couple weeks but i was just wondering if one even existed for my bike

So I was talking to my boss today who has been riding for quite a while and he was telling me all the things he wants in his next bike and one of the things was a slipper clutch, well I did some research on what it was and now I want one because I when I'm going around corners I use second gear but then the RPMS are too low and it kinda bogs till it hits 4K but when I go into first I get the power I want but even with rev matching I hop the back tire unless I slow way down. Can you get a slipper clutch for my bike and how much would one of those cost?

i just voted, and if your like me, you can unplug your modem for 10 seconds and get a new ip everytime lol edit- nvm, they must be tracking it by mac address cuz it didnt work edit again lol- it is by mac address cuz i just voted on my phone too which is connected to my home network

Well if your looking for any Mechanical work for your bike, my buddy Jake is the most knowledgeable guy on most any bike out. He is just a local guy but he has some really good prices for quality of work he does. He's in Wellington which is like a 25 minute drive from you.

lol, thats how i am, i will be outside at 11:30 at night trying to fix stuff on my bike and car just cuz if i dont it will drive me crazy till i do

thats the first thing i thought of when i saw this, just like the hail storm we had like a month ago, the first thing i thought of was "i hope my car is ok" not "i hope there isnt a tornado coming" lol

are you using a DSLR to take those pics? cuz brn6604 is right, the pics look sweet!

i have seen that a few times, they do that so that they can speed up front and block intersections cuz they are either a large group or in a busy area, those are the only times i have seen it.

although if there is nothing in the next lane the truck should move over and let the people in, i cant stand when there is a completely empty lane and people can see cars about to merge onto the highway but they stay in the right lane and make the on coming cars either floor it or hit the brakes to get onto the highway

agreed, people think yield means stop and those people get a show of my horn and middle finger in there rearview mirror

i mean more central in the state in general because toledo is like the upper most corner so its a haul for anyone as well as a boring ride, just my $.02

nope, 95% strait highway for me which is why i wanna ride with someone, its quite a boring ride.

a meet in toledo? nothing more central? i mean im down to go to toledo if anyone wants to meet in the cleveland area and ride out together, i would rather ride with someone going that far cuz its almost 2 hours from me.
