She does what I tell her to and she knows what I like All I can think about is riding her We thouroughly enjoy vouyerism She never has a headache Very few people have seen her naked She never says thank you for all the money I spend on her I can't imagine her not in my life

Appreciate the concern. I'm using (2) 400lb capacity straps, just to be sure Btw, where in cinci are you? Always looking for more riders

Thanks to everyone, here's an update. As I previously stated if I'm nothing atleast I'm inventive

Strange thing is that I haven't had the tire off in hundreds of miles and as I said I don't remember hitting anything. I've had to shell out the 180 cause I think its too broken to try and rig it

Unfortunately in the world we live in, any action on your part such as a bat to the legs may wind you up in court being sued. Stranger things have happened. I remember a thief somewhere in Cleveland broke into someones home and stold their tv, he slipped on their icy driveway on his way out and injured himself. Supposedly the theirf sued and won. Disgusting. If you don't mind a possible jail stint or if your able to afford a good attorney then take a heavy hammer to his ankles. It'll keep him from running away and ankles are complicated. Chances are he will have problems with it the rest of his life. On a separate note, if he's alegit scumbag he probably has a lookout...mabe invest in a rocksalt gun hahahahahahahah!

It creates a magnetic field with 2 spots that are not magnetic. When the wheel spins it creates a digital ( on/off ) signal that the cluster can convert to a speed signal based on the non magnetic spots passing over the sensor. I'm asking if anyone can speculate how to cracked in 2 spots if I didn't hit anything. I can't imagine magnetic getting brittle with time but I'm just guessing

This is my front speedo sensor which mounts on the right front fork. It is a magnet sensor that feeds info right to the cluster. The round magnet has multiple cracks and is broken into 4 pieces. Does anyone know or can speculate as to why this happened? I don't remember hitting anything and I haven't had my wheel off recently so I know I didn't mess it up. I was just out riding and looked down and my speedo said zero.

Stupid Quick Underdressed Inevitably Dead That's what I learned a squid was but the old timers are the track calling young guys squirrely seems pretty legit.

I wear a Carbon AC-12 full face helmet, A* carbon knuckled gloves, scorpion Exo mesh jacket, Joe rocket alter ego pants, thor 50/50 boots. All gear is black or blue. Its pretty damn hot but I rode a few miles the other day without my jacket and I felt very underdressed and scared. I'm not worried about looking cool. I'm just looking to stay cool. I see that the general concensus is AGATT which I figured. For those that actually read what gear I have, do you think this is decently cool gear?I know black isn't the best choice but aside from the color. Any extra tips besides keep moving to try and keep from passing out? I can't believe that there is that many harley riders that just don't care. I think most people have a bad stigma about sport bike riders but TO ME it seem that irresponsible harley riders are what gives bikers a bad rap. I sincerly don't mean to offend anyone, I'm just making an assumption based on what I've seen/read. On a side note I see a lot of people also riding with half helmets I've read a statistic that those helmets do nothing to protect a rider. True that most are"DOT approved" but that just means if the helmet is struck with a hammer then it should protect at the point of impact. But in real world situations the chin area of the helmet is most common point of impact with about 40% in crashes. Does this stuff sound about right?

Ill start by saying that I'm all 4 wearing the right gear especially being a newer rider. That being said I have 2 questions both relating to wearing gear. 1- why do I see 99.997% of Harley riders with no gear and everyone thinks its normal and ok, and if you see a sportbike rider he's considered stupid and a squid and foolish? Is he more likely to get hurt because he's on a sport bike? 2- with summer coming ( 90 here last 2 days ) what is everyone wearing? Do you still wear full jacket and riding pants and everything? I assume you do. When I stop I feel like I'm gonna pass out from the heat, what do you guys do/wear to TRY and stay comfortable? I realize that this all sounds like I don't want to wear gear. Its not like that. I'm curious and a fairly new rider so I'm just looking for some answers.

Welcome

I've spent oodles of money lately so the wife is not down with me buying a new bike stand along with a new sensor and all the other garbage I've purchased recently. So... I have a olympic weight bench with towers and squat station so I'm using the weight bench squat station and bar with ratchet straps to lift the bike. Seems to work very well and is very stable, I may be stupid but atleast I'm inventive! Lol Thanks for the suggestions

Lower triple clamp huh...like a paddock stand?

My speedo recently went out on my TT600. Ive tested the sensor and found I have power and a good ground but no signal. I've looked around and found that its kinda common for the magnetic speed sensor on the front wheel to break. I'm pretty sure the sensor is bad and needs replaced ( 175.00 ). It will be a few weeks before I get it snail mail but here's my question. One of the nicest guys on Ohio riders let me use his bike jack but it seems there's not a good place to jack under the bike. Is it ok to jack the entire bike up on the exhaust? I don't see many options here. My 4clinder pipes run out of the front and route directly under the oil sump ( slightly offset ). Even the oil filter is mounted between the exhaust pipes...so how am I supposed to lift this thing without damaging it? I can't use a front wheel sport bike stand cause I need to pull the front wheel off. I'm trying to use a 4 wheel flat jack made for bikes from harbor freight. Help me, apparently I'm stupid Thanks

I would advise sticking with red in the rear. Cage drivers are usually stupid. If they see a yellow rear light or any other color that the are not used to seeing they might get confused as to your intentions. I say don't give them another reason to use you as a ramp.

I don't know if id use it on the whole bike, but I use 3M adhesive remover to clean the wheels. It takes all the grime and chain lube right off with out scrubbing. Avoid the sandpaper idea. Might look good 1 time but it will permanently damage your finish.

Wow...thanks...I guess...now I'm scarred for life...ill be drinking tonight to try and forget what I just saw...

WOW I'm positive I shouldn't even attempt that stuff quite yet but I gotta say that was the sickest video I've seen on youtube since 2girls1cup Thanks for that link!

Thanks And Jbot, its been well over 30 days so ill keep using that helmet as a toilet and shitting in it. Hahaha, sorry about being a prick man I just had a strong opinion, totally separate thread.. I hope ziggy or jolly mon can chime in here, did I look stiff as a board on my turns? It sure feels that way. I am not scarred to come off like a retard. I have no issues whatsoever with other peoples opinions of my questions as well. I ask to try and learn even if they are noobish. Ill take my licks and be better for it. I do sincerly appreciate it when u guys humor me and answer my ignorant questions. Kudos to you guys

Speed shouldn't be the goal. Speed is a byproduct of the goal. The goal is to be smooth and consistent. Geezus, that's beautiful man. I like this a lot for some reason. I do appreciate all the responses, and yes Tony Stewart is better than me at turning left.

Like I said I'm definately not asking how to drag knees and I understand basic turning dynamics as far as countersteering and slow in quick out. I don't do bad and will always ride my own pace but it seems when I ride with other people they just totally dust me through turns and I have to try and play catch up on straightaways. I've just heard so many different things and I try and do what feels right but I have no idea if I'm doing something incorrectly. I feel that I've pushed pretty hard but still have a difficult time nailing a tight line. I feel like I'm too stiff or too straight up in turns. Is that normal?

As most should know by now I'm a new rider, I plan on trying to walk into the MSF course very soon but I know the mostly concentrate on low speed manuevering and basic controls and safety. I feel pretty good riding but I don't feel like I'm taking turns as fast as I should be. I AM NOT a speed racer and am not trying to drag knees or anything but I feel my turns are not as sharp/leaned/fast as they should be. I know some of this comes with time and confidence but mabe someone can clear a few things up for me...I have heard different things from different people and read different things in different books. I've tried a few things on my own but I'm still a newb and need some small coaching... I heard that your handle grip push in the direction of the turn is the main input and is responsible for most of the lean. I've heard that your body weight shifting is the primary input to a lean and how you shift weight on the pegs. I've heard ( let's say right turn for example ) that you should pull on the left grip and push on the right grip at the same time. I've heard that your hips and knees pushing the tank are the primary input for increased lean. SO...which is it? Id like to learn and be able to practice the proper way if someone can clearify for me. Is a sharper higher speed turn a whole body manuever? Mabe a step by step break down entering a turn would be helpful. Thanks alot
