I always kind of assumed the eye protection laws were to protect the rest of us. If you catch a hornet (rock, hay, hot coffee, really anything) in the eye, it kind of kills your ability to safely pilot the bike immediately thereafter. Given the base riding ability of a lot of the freedumb types, I wouldn't want to be in range of one when they turned their bike into something from Roadrunner and Coyote after catching a swarm of gnats in the face at 70 mph.

M42 posted:Man, what the hell is it with people blatantly lying about the condition of bikes/parts? "The fairings are good, no scuffs or scratches or cracks or anything, the bike is fine" I come out there to behold a bike in the shittiest condition I've ever personally witnessed. Paint bubbles from gas spills on a good 50% of the fairings, cracks at mounting points, dents/scuffs/scrapes, and the metal parts of the bike were so thoroughly rusted you couldn't separate the individual parts anymore. Out of curiosity: Being one of the relative minority of ladies that are into bikes and knowing all kinds of shits about them, what's the response from a seller when you call bullshit on them? edit: I mean, I would expect the sort of person to lie about the condition of a bike to also be the sort who would say, "Run along little lady and bring your boyfriend back so I can tell him about it."

Crossposting from the Let's Invest thread. http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/mcy/4161253548.html "They have a little higher top end due to this bike being torqued down one, for more torque." For rant content: Why the gently caress can't you do some basic research when you're selling a bike instead of just making up complete bullshit? FFS, all you have to do is read the Wikipedia page and loving KBB values.

Ambihelical Hexnut posted:Guys, after watching a bunch of bike related videos I'm worried I might not be a real bike enthusiast. Though I've ripped apart and rebuilt a couple of the bikes I've owned, in the years I've ridden I have never once taken an angle grinder to my subframe to shower a bunch of sparks off in slow motion. How is it that all the bike people who are worthy of being in videos seem to do this every day of their lives and yet I've never done it once? You might be ok if you've ever gotten longwinded about how bikes are a lifestyle and the metal just feels alive and you really connect with the bike and become one maaaan.

It's also good practice to spend some time moving your bike while it's not running. Both on and off the bike. Walk it around, make 10-point turns, that sort of thing. With the exception of a curb more than 7" or going up hill, I've gotten pretty good at walking my bike all over without dropping it.

Z3n posted:I love that every hipster bike video has some moment with an angle grinder spraying sparks, even when they're supposedly doing repairs on the side of the road. What the gently caress is the deal with this? Do these turds think that's a really common thing to do to your bike, like checking the chain? All of their bikes must just be covered with grinder scars. Some day there's going to be a blooper reel from one of their stupid videos where some knob goes up in a ball of flames because his leaky lovely CB750 had gas all over it when he decided to do the grinder rooster tail.

I have not shaved in like 10 years. I trim my enormous beard when it's hot enough to warrant it and shave my neck only when the beard is too short to hide a neckbeard. loving hate shaving and loving love being a dirty biologist with no dress code or appearance standards.

I just ran a bunch of errands on my bike in Ft Collins, and there's a biker fest going on in town. I saw a thousand cruiserchopperbillybadasses mean mugging all over town and I was the only one wearing more than a helmet.

Today I was the rear end in a top hat cager. In my big ol work truck. Went to merge into the right turn only lane as it was beginning, made it halfway through the merge (straddling the line as it got to the point of being two lanes wide) to find that some monkey on a V Rod had squirted up into my right rear blind spot. If he'd had loud pipes I'd have known he was there.

I have never gotten a puncture on a motorcycle. I assume I'm not riding enough. edit: Gaaah new page. Content: I loving hate the new Ducati Scrambler promo movie so loving much. I'm literally angry about it right now. It's stupider than so much of the poo poo that goes on HNasty's blog.
