Dear lady driving the gently caress-off Dodge Ram 4x4 BIG HORN Edition, I realize you're afraid that taking any curve at more than 3mph is going to cause your axels to snap and send a wheel careening off into outer space since the world is based on Gamebryo physics, but for christ's sake stop ruining the THREE GODDAMN FUN CORNERS on the entire way home today.

Minor rant. Took the factory warning stickers off my bike today. Three of them came off fine, but the fourth the adhesive was practically bonded to the goddamn fairing and took a chip out of the paint. $20 for the matching pen. Argghhhhh. Oh well it'll be here in a few days. goddamnit.

Slim Pickens posted:It helps to put heat on the sticker. Borrow the girlfriend/wife's hairdryer if you don't have a heatgun and blast it long enough to get it pretty warm. The adhesive will soften up and the sticker should peel off in one solid piece most of the time. I hairdryered all of them. The stickers had been on there for 2 years. All the heat did was peel the plastic top off the sticker and leave the paper and adhesive underneath. Oh well it's done now so whatever. Paint will be here tomorrow.

A couple days ago, some people failed to maintain their lane, and as they came over the line, I was furiously cancelling my turn signals at them until I remembered the OTHER button down there. I've also hit the starter before. I hate it when I do that as I pass someone. OK, gonna pass him.. Signal on to change laneMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

I really think people speed up because 90% of the time they're distracted with their Big Gulp / Big Mac / Cell Phone / Little Timmy that they don't watch their speed and when someone passes them or zips off at a stop light they snap back to "Oh I must be going too slow" and slam on the gas. It especially bothers me when people play leapfrog on the highway though. No Mr. F250 diesel I'm not passing you because I want to race, I'm passing you because I can't see around you and that makes me less prepared on the road. I just want to be able to see in front of me. God.

In fact it's even legal to sit at a stop light texting and stuff as long as the vehicle is stationary, which is a recipe for suddenly realizing the light is green and running me over after I've given up waiting on their right of way.

I do not run from the cops because I'm kindof easily identifiable. Also because I enjoy living and not panic crashing to avoid a speeding ticket.

Standing up is a great way to suddenly and unexpectedly terrify every single person driving a car within viewing distance of you. I do it whenever people are driving around me like assholes and they almost always back off, slow down, or try to get away from me. I think they just don't know what you're planning and have no idea that needing to stretch is a thing.

Slavvy posted:Everything I've seen leads me to believe aprilias are a lot more reliable (mana aside) than KTM's. I'd agree with you for the 2012 and earlier LC8 engines and maybe their dirt stuff (I'm not a dirt guy i donno) but based on my experience I haven't had any major issues crop up in the first 10k and the guys at the shop say they really only see the dirt bikes in for regular issues. The thumpers are probably the worst.

Yup. Though with any manufacturer you're going to have a % of off-the-line issues. It's not really indicative of every bike they produce. When you've got a lot of moving parts defects happen. I can't speak for other places but at least from my dealer they're also super easy to deal with and if you even have an inkling of a concern that something may/may not be an issue they'll diagnose for you instantly. KTMs customer service for me so far has been top notch.

Coydog posted:On the bad luck, that's what's so insanely crazy. It's like my "thing" with bikes is to have the most random and hard events happen at the worst times. I'd rather it if my "thing" was running into mailboxes and getting crazy good at riding and owning bikes. That would be a nicer thing, but so it goes...  Coydog posted:What really makes me upset is, along with completely blending up my life at a time when I really don't need this extra stress, this completely shapes what bike I want to get in the future. I'm not even free to pick a bike I can afford, because I think of how it will be taken from me. Like last year when I wanted to grab a grom. NOPE, can't do that. Not free to do that, because someone would just put it in their pocket and leave. All they did was selfishly steal my vehicle, and I'm left with days/weeks of tedium and expense and stress. Yesterday, my head would snap around whenever I heard a two stroke, or saw a bike parked, in hopes that might be mine. Buy a Blast. Jokes on whoever steals it.
