hot sauce posted:I've experienced a few people try to close the gap when I lane split here. The "it's not fair, wait your turn!!" attitude is so lame. I had someone swerve into me last year when I was splitting lanes in vegas because its 110 outside, the bikes fan took a poo poo, and I'm in two tons of gear. gently caress em.

SquadronROE posted:Christ. Is splitting legal where you are? Did they have to pay for injuries and stuff? Its not legal here, but it is in CA. Most bikers still do it here anyway. I usually won't because of inattentive tourists etc. they didn't hit me. but its times like that people lose car mirrors.

Boat posted:Tourists in this case almost definitely means other Americans, as Las Vegas is a huge tourist destination due to the gambling and shows at the casinos & such. This. Most of em are dumbass Americans that stare too hard at the flashy poo poo. I avoided getting rearended last night, and avoided plowing into someone that decided to pull into two lanes of oncoming traffic to STOP and wait for the other two lanes to clear. Dumb oval office got a lot of horns for that. Its like frogger on a motorcycle.

You'd stroke out then if you noticed the average sportbiker here in the southwest. E: I've considered making bumperstickers that says bend your arms! with a arrow pointed to an elbow.

Its shockingly cheap for a ktm product. Maintenance intervals don't seem to be as awful as the mx bikes either which is rather nice.

Z3n posted:I sort of want to re-do the headlight on my 1290, but for the love of loving god, the OEM one is so well designed I just can't bring myself to gently caress with it. It has 2 screws that you remove and the entire headlight folds down with neatly coiled wiring harness connectors, easy to replace lightbulb, etc, etc, etc, etc. I want to replace it with something totally absurd and ridiculous, but it's so well engineered I feel like I'd be making GBS threads on some poor KTM employee's life achievement if I hosed with it. You should poke around my headlight next time we get together. OAK has contacted me a time or two requesting I not ride at night as I'm confusing the aircraft.

Slim Pickens posted:Ktm motocross bikes usually don't have linkage, or at least they haven't for a while. Quite a few ducatis don't either. Does linkage help handling a ton? Its done for packaging to get the shock lower/deeper into the chassis and or more wheel travel. Baja trucks tend to use the setup a lot. Checkout Mezzanine/cantilever suspension. cursedshitbox fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Jun 28, 2015 |
