That's messed up :/. The worst I have to complain about are people passing on the right in an 8 lane freeway for no reason and assholes merging across 4 lanes of traffic.

Yeah, unfortunately. They even get cutesy little almost police uniforms and badges to patrol the lots in. Yet despite them and the cameras, I don't see a whole lot of action being done when it comes to the infrequent car break-ins, or with a coworker getting her gas tank sugar'd.

They're probably the ones doing that poo poo.

The Harley parts network can just gently caress right off.

I need new hardware for my brake rotor, there isn't a single dealer that I've found with a complete set in. Everything is 2 weeks out. They don't seem to make a kit either. Who is gonna buy one piece at a time? It all has to be replaced at once.

I was happy to overpay American Sport Bike because they had poo poo in stock.

Close to ordering AMERICAN motorcycle parts from a shop in HOLLAND.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.
Well fedex somehow destroyed my tires but yay for Revzilla CS - took a 3 minute phone call to them to point out the package had been damaged and I got the order confirmation for the new set of tires 10 minutes after the call. Sucks that I'll be riding the 1290 with a backpack rather than my old man top box rig for the next 3 days but there's worse fates.

That's weird, I just got a Revzilla box today and it looks like someone dropped a 100lb brick on it. I'd love to know how tires manage to get destroyed in the mail, though.

Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

My favorite part of riding in the rain is people who treat you like you're some kind of insane evil kenieval daredevil for even attempting such a feat. That said, I have rain-proof Italian-made boots, glooves, and pants, what did I take with me on my 300 mile ride to Upstate NY when I knew it was going to rain on the way back? A $20 frog-toggs jacket, and nothing else. I got black hands, a split, ancient summer glove, and a penis that retracted so far into my body that it looked like I had been un-circumcised as a reward. I'm dumb.

Yeah, rain riding. My new-to-me 'liter bike,' running a ton of errands during a MI downpour.
I've never had an issue with rain riding on this or my Sportster, but I constantly get "nice knowing ya" from coworkers, friends, & family.

I've only ever had one person comment on me riding in the rain and it was some middle aged lady telling me I "ride like I stole it, even in the rain!"

I personally love riding in the rain as long as it's not bad enough I can't see out my visor and wiping it off is useless.

I really hate when it does that halfass mist-but-not-quite-rain poo poo where it's just causing everything to get damp and my visor to fog up, but not enough moisture to cause the water to form big drops and roll off.

Yeah it was completely submerged for about an hour. I have full coverage with a $75 deductible. Hopefully they give me enough for a new bike.

It's not lame, not addressing it is how your forum goes from "good" to "YouTube comments section" levels of quality.

I for one would love to see more casual homophobia and racism in my online communities!! :allears:

It's inappropriate to casually refer to gay people as "homos", yes.

Maybe it's still an acceptable word in Kentucky, where I think nsaP is from.
