I have two bikes. I'm pretty sure coming home with a third bike without consulting the wife would get me killed. I am however going to go test ride Ducatis next weekend when the Ducati Experience Tour hits NJ. Anyone else going to it?

For real. I usually tell my wife I want to buy another bike and she rolls her eyes, asks why the gently caress I need another bike, and gives in. She doesn't get why I couldn't just ride my old 03 450 until the end of time. The 350 "looks exactly the same".

Just buy them and don't tell her is my way of doing it, she rarely goes into the garage anyway.

Just buy her one and let her have fun too... actually be careful with that because according to my wife I don't get another bike until she has a new one so there are downsides

I keep pointing out bikes that are just the right size for my girlfriend to see how long it takes before she caves and at least tries riding.

I tried to get my ex to take the MSF after she rode with me and loved it. She has a short cakewalk commute to work through a super quiet neighborhood, and she wanted to be the badass girl who rode in to the office. I helped her pick a jacket, helmet, etc, even said I'd do the MSF again with her. Tears in rain, etc.

(I told her I'd take her riding as long as she had gear - I helped her shop for it, and wouldn't take her out until she had it. The MSF suggestions came after once I knew she liked riding) The Royal Nonesuch fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Apr 30, 2017 |

My girlfriend was the one that introduced me to riding, and she's got a bigger / badder bike than me (Ninja 1000 vs Tiger 800) Still makes me carry everything in my panniers though

No. 6 posted:gently caress anything in my life that isn't motorcycles. Ask me about snapping a tiny fitting on my plastic thermostat housing, leaving me with no four-wheeled transport. At the same time that the only roadworthy bike in the household has no float bowl o-ring. Cause that was my day today!

My tank looks like this from the PO: I just saw "tank sliders" that will cover it up, but they're carbon fiber which I'm not wild about :  Better to have road rash on the tank, or look potentially squidy / 2 fast 2 furious? Eventually this will probably become a track bike so they may be worth it, but probably not for a couple of years.

If the sliders cover it up they will likely be the cheapest option, unless you can find a good tank on thief-bay.

You can get those sliders in all sorts of finishes, just look around. Whatever you do though, make sure you really thoroughly clean up that rust before you put them on.

Clean up that rust like crazy, paint over it (brush probably) and stick that tank slider on. The tank slider looks less ridiculous than the road rash.

poo poo I think r-type may be right, they probably won't cover it completely. What's the proper procedure for cleaning up the rust? I'm guessing clean, sand, degrease, base coat, clear coat? I've touched up car paint before and have tack cloths, sand paper, DA polisher, etc, but I've never had to deal with rust before.
