Of course. We hangout but I have a girlfriend. Might be worth saying she rides motorcycles and that's why she left a note, not because she saw how hot I am. She had just got a gs500 and wanted someone to ride with. Now she's got a Ducati Monster. She's the perfect woman and I wish she was my girlfriend.

A few of my friends parked up at a French service station on a group ride to the Bol d'Or and when they came back about 4 or 5 of the bikes (out of 20--odd) had a note saying (more or less) "Hi I'm Jean and I give the best blowjobs in France, if you want me to back up my boast <some convoluted instructions on how to meet up>". After they'd got over the initial excitement and realised that "Jean" is a male name in France, they quickly turned to bickering over why some of them got notes and some didn't.

Well, if I may be allowed to quote the song "Which One O' You Queers Gonna Suck My Dick?" off the Wheeler Walker Jr. album Redneck poo poo, It's all the same when the lights go out As long as I got my dick shoved inside of a mouth It's on Spotify.

I like to ride around with my visor flipped up, switching from tinted to clear 3M gasketed safety goggles as necessary. Seems to be a good mix of protection and wind-in-your-face.

I have an EXO-500 helmet from Scorpion with the flip down visor and I really need to buy another one before they're all gone because it's really the best helmet.

In further rehabilitation news, I drove 500 miles in a fat-arsed diesel saloon yesterday and getting back on my bike was like being given magical powers. I can accelerate! I can brake! I can go around corners! Traffic is a minor inconvenience rather than a hellacious prison!

Rant inbound: I bought some Oxford heated grips. I was really impressed with them out of the box, but then things went downhill. I knew I was gonna have to trim them a bit, but that ended up being more than a bit once I put them on because I didn't bother to measure the length of my current grips. Then I found that the after market throttle tube I have is about 1 mm larger than stock, so the throttle side wouldn't go on. Tried a little sanding and filing, but the plastic inside the grip snapped as I tried to push it on. And on top of that, I cut the old grips off, so now I won't be riding because I was too dumb to measure first. (But I do want to place some blame on Zeta for making a throttle tube with a larger OD than stock. My guess is they didn't account for the thickness of the anodizing)

I had to drive my Cherokee (XJ, not KL) for a few days due to spring projects and getting back on the FJR was magical because the FJR can do about as many miles with 6 gallons as the Cherokee can with 18. Of course it's a little trickier to carry a quarter ton of rocks/wood/other gardening and spring project essentials on the FJR.

Just in case anyone didn't know, the fine for riding in the shoulder of a two lane access roadway is $250 and 3 points on your license in GA. No, the cops don't care that traffic has been horrible because an interstate bridge burned down due to the city storing flammable materials underneath it. No, the cops don't care that you were only trying to go 100 feet down to get out at the next exit.

Man that sucks. That is usually my thinking. Just stop and get a warning. Especially in the case of something benign like that. FTP  I've started splitting again, so I need to be double careful, I guess.

It's not legal to ride on the shoulder in California either, fyi. Only between the lanes. It's also less safe than splitting; no one is going to look before swerving into the shoulder in an emergency, and it's usually full of sand and broken glass and old tires and poo poo. Whether a cop will actually stop you for it probably depends entirely on if you're being a dong, though. Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Apr 8, 2017 |

Or if the cop is a dick. My girlfriend got ticketed for the exact same thing. Traffic was stopped blocking the exit lane, so she hopped into the shoulder from 5 or 6 cars back (and thus could see it was clear), and was immediately pulled over. Not her fault they designed the road poorly.

I'm guessing the bike lane is also illegal in CA? Sometimes it's way easier to go in that than it is to split lanes when traffic is completely stopped. Passed a cop last time I did it and nothing happened, but was very close to the station at 5pm so I'm guessing they were ending their day and didn't care.

What if there is only one lane but it is big enough for me to share it with the stopped cars? 680's Capitol exit is close to a half a mile long and that poo poo is backed up daily. I can't stand sitting in it when there's plenty of room to go by.

The rule about it is literally "there is no rule." There's no law in California one way or the other explaining the right way to split lanes, or even if it's allowed at all, but the current system seems to work well enough that everyone's happy to just leave it alone. The CHP's official statement is that it is "legal when practiced safely," i.e. they'll usually let you do what you like, but if they think you're being dangerous they'll stop you for reckless driving or whatever. The CHP officially recommends to only split between the first and second lane, to only do it when traffic is moving less than 20mph, and to not ride more than 20mph faster than traffic is flowing (putting a cap on lane-splitting speed at 40mph, which sounds about right to me). There also are laws saying that you cannot operate a motor vehicle on the shoulders of the road, which is why splitting there is kind of a gray area that I prefer to avoid.

I just can't win right now. Ordered the wrong nut for my front sprocket. That was on me for not paying attention. Went and ordered the right one from partzilla. It arrived today, and they sent me the wrong one. I ordered/need 90179-20011. They sent me -20010. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will magically fit. Won't find out until I get home. Going on two weeks without riding because of an $8 part. SMDH
