a Vulcan isn't a cool kids motorcycle anyway. so you were never cool. look up lemon party and that's where you fit in

requiring a side stand is part of what makes it special.

you, sir, have not laid eyes on the train wreck Yamaha Niken

I didn't really read all the replies and stopped at 20 min interview on the phone for a 6 figure job. yeah, I'd be very leery of that.

come to think about it, I believe it could have been a suzuki m109. I remember it was white, long and sat really low. it barely fit on my handy lift. and had a bunch of led lights.

I fixed a guy's kawasaki vulcan this past summer he bought at racers edge. and the rear brake rotor was falling off the buttons. i'd say he needs some better employees for sure...don't know how that guy passed this bike and put it up for sale with a dangerous brake rotor. this is the kind of thing that will put you out of business from a lawsuit.

I told you folks (rd) that you'd go out of business. you guys made it a hassle to buy stuff. sorry to be so blunt. hope you all the best.

boring came to mind. I do like their street fighter concept bike. have to wait for 2020 to see it in action though.

1 bird took out 20k worth of stuff. lol

everyone is different. gotta find what works. Vicodin is all I can take. oxy make me sick. 2 vics and a few beers, I'm high as fuck lol

I bought a pair from IP also this summer. jeans are hotter than leathers in my opinion. they let all the engine heat through. they are comfortable however they do run very small. I should have tried them on. I would say if you wear a 38 for example they will fit like a 35.5 in the waist. length seems good. but waist is way off.

Well thanks to you guys everything costs more to buy now. An extra $16 for tires thanks to scotus online sale tax. Leave it to republicans...but arent the dems all about higher taxes...no. Great voting! Imbiciles Last year these tires were no tax and cost $240

I got lost when me and my brother tried to find it. I have not been down to that since 2005. So i got us about 1/4 of the way. I also remember a restaurant on a corner down there somewhere that the deck hung over the creek behind it. What a great place to relax and have a bite.

Right on. Such a waste of a trip not too. Maybe next year ill come ruin the party. LOL. Probabaly end up selling the R1 for a fz10 or put a fz10 top tripple and handle bar on the R1. Newer sportbikes are getting too agressive seating. I could ride my 03 R6 for 3hrs straight. Im ready to get off the R1 in 45 mins.

If u mean guys like me then hell yeah haha. But the ambulance guys told me they pick up mostly cruisers from the ditches and they rarely have helmets and have the worst injuries. I cant remember the route exactly, but a buddy of mine took a group of us down a rd called war woman that ran way down into GA. That was a great ride.

Best of luck to you guys. I have not been to the gap since 6/09. Too many cruisers and police.

Even dumber than trying to hit a 3" ball with a wood stick

I dont have to wash my leathers. Now that ohio is the new florida every time i go riding it rains. So they get washed every other ride lol

Thats good. From what ive heard he was a pile of shit.

I got sent the wrong brake pads for my truck before from amazon. motherfucker seller stuffed some generic bullshit pads inside a raybestos box. amazon refunded me 100%. I didn't have to send the shit back. I was able to show proof via pictures. which they did require me to do. so yeah, amazon isn't all that great and I probably wont buy much other than a gal of motul once a year.

everyone is looking for a payday. I suppose the plantiff has more money than brains. bought a bike he has no business being on, started riding it right away at the track in a class far over his head. who honestly gets target fixation on a big wide open track? the video should help him lose his case.

I can't believe dirt bike tire are directional. wtf! and now dunlop is putting green dots on tires too. can't wait for the next "expert tire guy" to tell me I put it in the wrong spot why his bent, out of round rim needs 2.75oz is wrong because I put the green dot in the wrong spot. lol

they think a cruiser takes the same time a sportbike does. so every time he comes out ahead, he loses that same amount a job or 2 later. he worked at triump in cincinnati and made way more money but again, the fag that is in charge kept fucking him on his hours and never even got his last paycheck because they said he stole tools. the tools were his. they have a reputation of doing this to all their techs. so anyone reading this don't work for triumph of cincinnati. I'm just doing this for the hell of it. I make ok money. could I do more on flat rate. yes. however, like I said you work on some pile of shit like a 1997 polaris wave runner thing(not sure the exact name of theirs) like we have out back right now you lose your ass. basically work for free. sit and diagnose it after it sat for 3 years. then they waive all of the diag fee if they decide to let us fix it. oh and if it doesn't fix it, you get back charged the whole time. so you end up owing the shop money. lol fuck flat rate pay.

as long as the service manager doesn't fuck you. and here, you don't get paid for diagnostics. which often takes hours. and often accept old garbage bikes that been beat to death. also lots of wiring issues and you have to figure it all out in an hour. after watching the flat rate guys bitch all day I'll take hourly. im often doing more work than they are. the one guy worked all day and made 2hrs flat rate in 5hrs. because of the way this shop bills. he had to pull the entire exhaust off a suzuki cruiser to get the rear tire off. took him 3 hrs to do 2 tires and got paid for 1. then does a cbr1000rr 2 tires and an oil change in 50 mins. that's how bad this shop fucks flat rate guys.

Im sure. You know why? Flat rate pay. A mechanic worth a shit doesnt like flat rate pay. Especially when a service manager has never been a mechanic he always under estimates the time. This doofus where i work thinks a valve check on a modern bike is a 45 min job. So thats all the tech makes. I told them id only work there if it was hourly. Theres no damn way im helping pay for the work by doing it for free. And thats flat rate in a nutshell. You also lose your ass when doing warranty work. Its always pays half the time it really takes.
