I test rode the Zero DS today and I've gotta say, it was pretty nice. It feels weird not having a clutch and not shifting. Its super quiet and when at a stop it feels dead. No vibrations or anything. The torque is fun at all ranges. It's a nice bike, low maintenance, and cheap fuel, but dang they're expensive. Unfortunately no long rides on it, so a second bike would be necessary for that. If I had the money, I would definitely get one for around town.

Wasn't paying attention and filtered up to a light today... pulling right in front of an unmarked car. Didn't even know until the light went green and he lit me up. I was polite and did all the nice things, plus was in full gear, so he was really cool and lenient. Apparently he used to be a motorcycle officer. He just kept saying that while lots of bikers filtered, and I clearly had done it before because I was so fluid with it, that "you just can't do that here. You can't do that. It's unsafe and not allowed". Then he let me off with a warning and told me to ride safe. I love how cool the police I've dealt with have been with riders. Thing is, I can't even find out what the fine or penalty would be for being ticketed doing this in my state. Of course, I didn't feel it appropriate to ask the officer at the time...

I think I've seen someone say that's the ticket they got for some local area. Can't remember where I read it but I believe they said it was around $150. The one time I was stopped for it on the freeway the guy chewed me out and said it was an educational stop and left.

I presume they also go around giving them to people driving big SUVs and pickups with no actual need for them?

Things better left unsaid #437. I'm confused. Filtering get traffic going faster, so presumably the finite resources of reference were the officer's time? Except, he volunteered to pull you over and could have just let you go. This ticket makes no sense.

tirinal posted:presumably the finite resources of reference were the officer's time? Fossil fuels. 56-65 in a 55 is WFR; 66+ would be plain old speeding (I suppose the waste is implied beyond that point.) BTW, unrelated to filtering, just another example of a moronic traffic law. So don't waste that fuel, AZgoons. http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ars/28/00702-01.htm

I always thought tickets that were for <5 over were that ticket. Being only for 55-65 is odd. Cant say there's many 55mph roads that I can think of. Only thing I can think of is when the road is 65mph but drops to 55 around a light then returns to 65 past it.

West vs. East? In Kentucky the default speed limit of rural roads is 55. So probably a majority of the roads in the state are 55 if you cut out big city streets.

If anyone in the Seattle area has nothing better going on today, hipsters are showing off their expensive old bikes at the Fremont foundry today until midnight. Edit: show was pretty much poo poo, only a couple of cool bikes and mostly hipster trash. I think the parking lot will be the real show around 6 is so. Imgur sucks on mobile, so I'll upload pics when I get home. Slim Pickens fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Aug 22, 2015 |

Show was ok. Except that it was full of bullshit like this.  And like this.  There was at least one cool room, though.    If you wanna go to it, give it a shot later and wander the street. There'll probably be cooler bikes out there, anyways.

Oh hey I just got back from there. I know the owner of that scooter (and the owners of most of the other scooters) and of the Yamaha with the ridiculously drilled-out rotor (he is also a scooter rider). I left that show wondering what the hell the point was. I've seen a lot of the bikes there at Backfire. I guess I was expecting more stuff from vendors. But I work in the Foundry building so I had to go. More fun to see it full of motorcycles than another tech company sales conference.

I went on the Mods vs. Rockers ride today and this bike was there. Those lights are literally (literally) impossible to see during daylight. I have a feeling they're very narrow-beam. Also there's an incandescent light on the right side of the bike that is the actual brake light. Cretins MC and Los Gatos Gordos SC were both heavily involved in the Rider's Show and they co-run MvR, so a few bikes on display were out riding today.

Saw my first Ural Gear-Up in person the other day, a 2009. All my previous experiences with Urals gave me a pretty low opinion of them, but I have to say the 2WD one looks drat cool. Also looks about as heavy as a car. Interesting side note, this one had 24k miles on it and all 3 wheels had totally shot wheel bearings. Turns out they use standard sealed ball bearings on those things and they obviously aren't up to the job.

Anyone in AI worked with an ecotron EFI kit ? Thinking of getting one for my UTV. It's modded beyond the scope of the carbs and I think I'm in need of more airflow at the carb/head. Aftermarket throttle bodies are expensive, and the ecotrons kit comes with them in my choice of size (dual 40mm)
