  1. Owning it! lowest SEO brand ever?
  2. http://usweatherinsurance.com/rain-insurance/
  3. Send the bill to Kona and tell them they should have spec'ed proper tires. Hmm so are my good shwalbe-ies. performancebike brand made in taiwan.
  4. German-er? What were the schwalbe'ies?
  5. What time? I could come up. After a test this afternoon I may be rebuilding a caliper though. I suppose I could do an @Isaac's Papa cable brake upgrade worse comes to worse.
  6. Yesterday my 2nd upgraded starter relay stuck on again. I had started it and it stalled when put into gear. kill switch depressed, ignition off I grabbed the key to open the tail and unbolt the battery. But as soon as I tried to let go of the clutch the bike tried to roll off every starter kick. (last time a year ago it did it, it was in neutral as I was shutting it off) Got it into neutral without the indicator light and the relay unstuck itself as I was pulling the seat. Failed to restart a few times but then after sitting a minute started right up. And and didn't strand me. Today was fine as well. The oem relay is known to fail and later upspec-ed from 80a to 150a. I still carry it as a backup under the seat. Many owners use a yamaha one. I have a big snowplow(made in mexico) relay in now but no use if it'll still stick. Battery cable gauges are increased. Ignition and kill switch wires were repaired from damage. I'm replacing the switch with a 2011 one and shopping for a relay. Trial and error I guess not many even give the amp rating out..
  7. Shhhh. No body tell my bike it's not supposed to be from texas. OP isn't asking for small i4 it was Hiro-jacked
  8. Rode the SC Bronson around Alum Creek P2. That's a lot of bike to push around! 800mm bars. 50t rear cogs. 32 chainring. The 5010 was more familiar.
  9. Mine are plastidipped pink. The first bike I bought was a ninjette with rotors spraypainted black.
  10. They're all one hit wonders with styrofoam insides. You want it to break to absorb energy
  11. Design criticism continues....
  12. Swapped my 400g elastomer saddle back to my 225g one 17.83lbs
  13. I think of knuckle protectors like knee pads. When they get bruised it triggers the nerves. May be hard to limp home in minor drops. I bruised my knuckles hitting the heavy bag and cringed everytime I pulled the brake yesterday. plus road rage fights.
  14. I wonder if a great training tool wouldn't be an I4 powered go cart with handlebar control & the same throttle action for people to feel how easy they can break traction on 4 wheels. Will be a moot point once we're all on self driving bikes.
  15. I got a cat to match my couch, it also matches Kroger bags. So whenever I reuse one I do double takes thinking the cat is sitting there.

  17. Accidentally heard this and got it stuck in my head for 2 days.
  18. "Starter bike" If you start at 1000cc where do you plan on going from there? You're only just below the absolute most powerful bikes available.
  19. 1 liter sportsbike will be more cramped than a smaller non sportsbike have a play at http://cycle-ergo.com/ I saw my first real life moto course by chance last weekend. One guy was on a tw200. Must have been right at the beginning they were waddling them around the parking lot leaning clutch/throttle feel. Is it required these days or did you want to skip the skills test?
  20. You can pick up anything at the warehouse in Delaware too.
  21. what do you expect with 1kg of hybrid tires? heavy oem tubes? I sell the old bike after getting the new one and comparing weights on everything for swap outs.
