3.504

its about 23.5"-24" tall

im 6'2" this back protector is too short for me, it works good on my girlfriend whos 5'8" I can get measurements tonight, im at work right now.

a* bionic back protector waist:L fits my waist, im a 32. I imagine this will fit most anyone. great shape, the girlfriend doesnt want this one, so selling to get a different one. $100 obo located just north of cincinnati

my buell: my s1000

those panigales sure are a great looking bike!

yes at the factory, and in most cases they are not test run. the assembly line doesnt have time for a test fire, quality control pulls a few on a random lottery and will test fire/run the bikes, but most are not.

I didnt intend to come accross in that way. in my experience: a ton of new owners disregard an owners manual completely. but to answer the original question, it comes with fluid. some salesman really like to play up the "new vehicle prep" as something better than it is, to justify charging you $395, or what have you on new models. sorry for the confusion

agreed, cant hurt to change, and its relatively cheap (compared to engine failure). I also recommend to open the owners manual and follow any and all break in procedures.

they come with fluids. typically the oil is a "break in" oil and should be changed after the factory recommended break in procedure. even if it isnt break in oil, id recommend a change after the first few heat cycles. cheap insurance.

quoting myself is fun finally the lori ghost is playing out some. still not my favorite conflict. last episode was uneventfull. they better make up for it. get on with the war already. and wheres the black dude/son from episode 1!

this made me laugh

fill it halfway, freeze overnight, fill rest of the way in the morning. I have a slim camelbak and can fit it under my leathers. ice lasts a decent while and not only keeps your drink cool, acts as air conditioning.

cool man, sorry if a few of the junkies gave a poor impression... theres bad apples in every bushel. if you like to ride the curves, im a frequenter of the falmouth area of ky. 10/22 and what not. ive been known to take a stroll down EMRR from time to time too. we'll have to get out and ride, represent the fairfield area, lol!

yeah usually. also larger SAE stuff crosses to metric 1 1/4 = 32mm 15/16 = 24mm 7/8 = 22mm 13/16 = 21mm... kinda 3/4 = 19mm 5/8 = 16mm kinda 1/2 = 13mm im sure theres others too. the benefit to buying the bulk sets is the discount on individual tools and the convenience.

im in west chester, work in fairfield. are you on assfaultjunkies.com?

where is this located? my girlfriend has been looking for one and we're driving to columbus tomorrow with the trailer.

at the IMS in indy, I had the chance to test fit a bunch of different adventures. the r1200gs was hands down my favorite. the flat twin has such a low CG, the bike is effortless to come of the side stand. I love that. its a hefty bike, but feels light. seat height is huge, not going to lie. its the tallest bike ive ever been on, and is the only bike ive ever tip toed on (im 6'2"). after having the small experiece I had on that machine, there would be no way id be interested in anything else. if you truely want something that can handle more serious offroad, look into the ktm. its more geared towards that side of the spectrum.

tempting!

that chase vehicle looks awesome! what trails do you hit? do they require a plate? im always looking for new trails!

I just picked up an american tactical imports compact 1911. I have not run a round through it yet. might be interested in working something if I dont care for it after I go to the range.

along the river on the east side. on 52 in tusculum. ive heard where annies used to be? its a dive. its where the assfaultjunkies meet for their own bike night.

sears has a deal on some entry level boxes for around 170 on up if youre part of.the craftsman club. about air pump (compressor) just get a bicycle pump from any sporting goods store. I spent $20 on the one I have at my house and it works great for motorcycles. start with a craftsman mechanic tool set. they have many combinations ranging from a few bucks to $1000. spend around 150-300 on that, then pick up some other tools as you need them. you'll figure out what you need as you go. about the used tools: no thanks, but I rely on my tools for a living, so im kind of a tool snob.

this is a true statement. you should actually run the lowest rating possible. running a higher octane where its not required is not only a waste, but can actually hurt performance. remember, octane rating essentially is gasolines resistance to ignite. the higher rated, the more resistant. the reason some claim smoother running and other such claims is usually due to the better additive package in the "plus" and "premium" blends. however, I wouldnt recommend running lower octane rated fuel than what your manufacturer recomends.

welcome! like bubba said, assfaultjunkies and localriders bike nights at murphys tavern on wednesday, comet lounge on tuesday, and euro bike night last thursday in old milford. theres also the harley bike nights at both quaker steak locations.

I could be considered pretty close to an expert in tools. im a mechanic by trade and my job requires that I have my own tools. for what youre doing, id recommend going to sears hardware (tricounty mall has a great selection) and starting.with the basics. tool collections dont happen overnight. mine is 10years strong and has way more invested than id like to admit. id say you could start out spending 150-500 at sears and be able to tackle any job you could get into. most jobs on bikes dont require specialty tools. things like air tools (and the new battery tools) are nice, and faster, but start off with hand tools and work your way up. one thing to remember about tools: theyre worth hardly any money after you purchase them. so dont get in too deep too quickly.
