My friend did that with his. He even did the flyscreen, which I think is dumb. It looks OK I guess.

Unless they've made significant, subtle alterations to the exhaust, there's no way it could have longer travel suspension, because of the problem of the swingarm hitting the exhaust.

But that probably means a 2017ish model for them, so that's super reasonable and hopefully they'll have it out by then and I can trade in my SD-R on one. Or turn the SD-R into a trackbike and use the SD-T as the daily driver.

After test riding it and going back and forth a little bit with the seller, he offered to have it checked out by the Honda dealership. With only 5k miles on it I doubt anything is wrong, but I'm in no rush and it'll give me a little peace of mind. I'll most likely be picking it up next weekend or the one after that. After two years on the ninja, it should be nice to have a bike that fits me

Moped people are the worst group of people I have ever tried to sell something to. I have spent the last few months dealing with the biggest group of morons on the planet trying to sell my Puch Maxi. Here are some real quotes: "I want to drive to come pick it up and ride it back to Houston" "I got a DUI, so I can't drive. Can I the bus and ride it home 20 miles away?" "Can you bring this by my work so I can see it?" "Can you show me how to ride it?" "I want this to so I don't have to ride the bus anymore. Does has no title mean I can't ride it on the street?" I attempted to sell it again today for the 4th time. After replacing the tire tube, adjusting the chain, lubing the chain, adjusting the brakes, adjusting rear end play on the axel, aligning the rear wheel, adjusting the idle, adding fresh gas, cleaning the air filter, and cleaning the bike... The person that came to look at gave me a text every hour to ask me how it was going, asked me then if I could clean the carb and tune the bike for him. I told him no and the sale was as is. He then asked me again if I could do it with him tomorrow. I told him no it was as is. This guy has texted me over 30 times. I'm about to just burn the loving thing and send him a video. gently caress

Hey guys, had a minor incident in my car the other day that kind of spooked me because it would have been pretty major on my bike and I'm looking for some more experienced riders advice on how you would avoid it. I was driving on a 3 lane freeway with no shoulders the other day and up ahead there was a giant 8x12 sheet of plastic blowing between the cars and just flying through the air. It was in the far left lane, and I was in the far right lane, I got over to avoid the left lane and hopefully avoid the flying sheet. But most cars were blowing past it without any concern. But sure enough a big truck ahead of me in the left lane flew past it and pushed it all the way into my lane (The right lane) where it got attached to my front bumper. No biggie, my exit was next so I pulled off and removed it from my grill before heading into work where I tossed it into the dumpster. But it got me thinking, what would I have done if I was on my bike? It's not like avoiding a stationary object in the road since it was flying all over the place and really hard to guess where it would go, and it moved across all lanes very quickly. And since it was a (mostly) harmless piece of plastic no other car was slowing or really even trying to avoid it like you would for most moving objects like a deer. Just looking for some advice on a potentially dangerous situation in the future. SGT. Squeaks fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Nov 30, 2014 |

If it was too late to avoid I probably would have crouched down and tried to avoid getting hit by it as best as I could while maintaining a steady course. I did this once when riding through a swarm of bees and it worked so maybe it would work for plastic sheeting too. If it got stuck on the bike I'd hope like hell that it wouldn't get caught up in anything while I looked for a place to pull over to remove it ASAP same as a car. Some stuff you really can't plan for so it's best not to worry about it all that much.

Do you sit and worry about slipping and breaking something when you go to have a shower? I'll bet it happens more often than plastic sheeting hitting people on motorbikes.

DO NOT RIDE THE BUS DOWN HERE AND SHOW UP. I got a text that said "Don't take this away from me. I was so excited when I found this." "please please please I won't fix the carb in the parking lot, I promise" "I don't understand why you're backing out now, we shook on it" This was after over 20 texts last night. Moped people are still the worst. Any goon want to come buy it? I'll give a goon price.

Upon seeing you talk about Houston I searched CL for "puch maxi". If you're the dude in Austin I really don't know why you're surprised at the responses you're getting. That's like the most hipster of all hipster bikes ever created that you've probably never heard of before..

Puch Maxi is fuell in frame, just like a Buell  They used to be common here but now I only really see old people on them, they've mostly been replaced by scooters. It looks like Tomos still sells old school mopeds though. What I'm also seeing a lot lately are ugly rear end larger scooters that aren't quite maxi scooters, they look like a mix between a scooter and one of those Indian 125cc motorcycles. I also found this:

Hub center steering on a scooter?  I don't dig scooters much mainly because 90% of them are trying to look like a 60's vespa. The ruckus and zuma are the only two I kinda like the looks of. I'll have to snap a pic of the zuma down the block next time I see it, the paint job on it's pretty sweet.

My only first-hand experience with a scooter person was when I was at a shop getting the tyres changed on my ZRX. He was a 20-something guy with a fauxhawk and was whining to the guy at the shop that he wanted tyres but he didn't want the scaled-down battleaxes bridgestone make because they aren't grippy enough. There should be a name for that phenomenon where an entire roomful of people all roll their eyes at once.

Its also kitted which attracts a special kind of moron. If its any consolation I didn't originally build the bike. I just tuned it and kept it running. The last owner did all the terrible poo poo to it.
