Dumb question: Do they make extra long chains for extended swingarms or do you have to buy 2 and combine them?

You can actually buy some chains in 25/100ft rolls, designed for bike shops to use and cut to desired length. But I think most people just string together multiple chains with multiple master links.

Backfire rolled around again, I left kinda early but there was still a good crowd there with some cool bikes. Trigger warning, I had the gall to experiment with a $25 hipster lens on half the shots. :v:

He calls it the Moto2.5 because its a KTM single in an Aprilia chassis.

Just because I like the retro trend of giving every part on your bike its own graphic.

I never realized the old daytonas were so happy!

I don't care if they're slow as balls, this one was pretty cleanly done at least.

Viragos are one of those bikes I'd love to strip down cause they're such a rad transformation.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the tell is that Viragos are one of the few Japanese cruiser-style bikes that use a monoshock rear suspension, so the swingarm plus the bigass v-twin and the cruiser-style front wheel are what give it away.

Never actually ridden by there on a Wednesday evening before tonight. I was just going to Walgreen's to get my prescription. Tons of bikes out there. Was actually behind a bike with a side car were the passenger was looking back taking photos of the bikes behind them. Lots of nice looking rides.

It's pretty similar to how you ride with a closed primary.

C-mount 25mm on a GH2, not quite big enough for the sensor so unless you're over something like a 2.8 you get a vignette. Also because of the cheap aperture, the bokeh ends up being swirly.

Everything you like is bad, everything I like is good and cool. I've had sex. I've stuck my big rod into a babe and it was good. There's proof I've had sex, where's yours ?

I'm old and weak so I bought this to try and relieve monkey butt on those long rides

I also picked this up and will try it to see which one works better

while I was at the dealer buying dumb things, I saw one of these
