Giant parades of loud vehicles are the norm here though, it's not uncommon to see a motorcade with someone important in it block traffic for 15 minutes.

Deeters posted:The 9/11 ride that went by my house was about 2300 bikes and that took half an hour. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a group bigger than that. I totally agree and avoid crowds here as much as possible. I was just kidding about waiting for them to pass, as it would be would be no big deal after sitting through so many police motorcades in the past.

Chichevache posted:Giving your bike a girl's name always seemed weird to me anyway. Motorcycles just seem so masculine compared to cars. Maybe it is terror at the homoerotic thought of wrapping your thighs around a Harley named "Bruce". I've only ever heard of bikes/cars named the opposite sex of the person who owns it. It's probably just less enjoyable for a dude to ride Bruce as it would be to ride Bessie.

You also get to see the other side of private sales in that show - the guys that run the store lowballing the poo poo out of people. *shakes head* *smokers laugh* I'll give ya 20 bucks for it

Clitch posted:At least you get any lights at all. Lately, I've noticed a lot of people driving with absolutely no lighting in bad weather situations. Torrential downpours, and low light levels, but still idiots in duallies with zero lights on. My 15 year old sedan has DRLs, but some rear end in a top hat in a late model bulldozer of a truck is pitch dark in inclement weather. Texas is so high on guns, I should be allowed to shoot people that stupid. I see at least a few people per minute without any headlights on whenever I ride at night around here. Our streets are so illuminated that you really don't need headlights at all to see. What they don't realize is that they are invisible to everyone else.

TheCoconutman posted:So a friend of a friend asked me to fix up a 1978 cb750 for him. Not the best shape but bone stock it's all there, I'm not a big honda guy but the condition this bike is in makes me want to restore one something awful. But looking up tech info on all these forums and all I see are people tearing completely stock bikes apart, saw one with 2800 original miles! What the gently caress is wrong with people? Why not buy someone else's unfinished project? poo poo I bought a roller xs650 cause it was dirt cheap and I figured I'd tuck it away for a project. http://hipsterbikevideos.tumblr.com/

OSU_Matthew posted:No, he quit when he became a father, blah blah blah because it's selfish to ride when you have kids, I don't have kids but have thought about whether I'd give up riding if I do end up having some. I understand you can't just stop living your life, but how do you rationalize the extra risk?

M42 posted:Oh, it's fine when I'm moving. It's when I'm stopped the heat becomes a problem, and we have some of the worst traffic in the country. Mesh gear wouldn't help that much when you're just sitting. I've lived in DC my entire life and still not used to the humidity we have here. When riding in August just stick with back roads earlier in the day. We've gone on long rides when it's over 90 - you just have to stay hydrated. Also, I don't condone this but I've filtered through gridlock downtown traffic before on a few brutal days. No one really gives you a second look if traffic is at a standstill.

clutchpuck posted:Not on the motorcycle in the middle of the night is where I would be. I've posted before that I avoid riding in the dark. But you could add "not on roads where there are bars" to the mix. Dude, stop victim blaming. A motorcyclist has every right to drive alongside drunk people in the middle of the night :ralp:

And now I have to err on the side of caution and probably do it when I don't need to because I can't remember the mileage I told myself to remember. I just write this and other maintenance down in the back of my manual. I'd never remember it if I didn't

Gillingham posted:I'm just concerned about night riding if I went tinted. I have both tinted and clear visor. I wear the tinted one if I know I'm only going to be out during the day. Only been caught with it at night once and I just rode with the visor up. If I know I'll be riding into the night I bring the clear one + sunglasses.

Gillingham posted:Is theft a huge issue? I feel like dirt bikes in the boonies probably have a lot of concern but less so in cities with generic bikes. Around LA I haven't really worried, then again I drive a versys so no one probably wants to steal it. Not sure if this is the case everywhere, but where I live dirt bikes/SMs are just as desirable as supersports. A DRZ wouldn't last a month outside of a garage. Akion - what about using some of the insurance money for a beat up looking older bike?

I see a good amount of idiots every time I ride too but at this point I can predict 90% of these incidents before they happen. It's fun to look up ahead and call out things like "he's going to switch lanes without a blinker" or "he's going to turn right from the left lane".
