90s Honda was just generally too good for the world. Something like that could never last

Actually on all Harleys a Fat Bob holds down the seat.

Honda #1: pull slider, push lever, seat swings up Honda #2: turn key, pull catch, seat lifts off The idea that you might have to unscrew something to remove the seat baffles my mind

Familiarity leads to complacency. Complacency leads to mistakes. You just have to stay permanently alert. Train yourself to be constantly looking for anything out of the ordinary. I don't think anyone is born with this ability. Humans spend their whole lives evolving through different forms of self-destructiveness, from the ignorance of childhood, to the recklessness of adolescence, to the overconfidence of adulthood, to the obliviousness of old age. People don't usually start to become cautious until they've had a couple of good scares. As much as it would be nice to entirely avoid that stage of motorcycling, I think it is a necessary step in learning to ride well, and getting out of these situations with nothing more than a pounding pulse and a renewed sense of mortality is about the best you can hope for.

Renaissance Robot posted:isn't clearcoat just gonna burn off the first time you ride Yep. A plain steel exhaust system sounds disturbingly cheap. If you can't get one that's made of stainless or titanium, or chromed, it should at least be galvanized. Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Apr 9, 2023 |

Slide Hammer posted:It's chromed. As a manner of habit, I assume. I doubt anyone makes anything else for a GN125 (most bottom-dwelling, food-and-mail-deliverying motorcycle). unless you're riding in a place with road salt, 4-5 years is still way short so it must be real cheap chrome plating full of micro pinholes (unsurprising). it's just how cheap parts are; i had a set of no-name chrome handlebars that started to rust within a year and the bike was stored indoors! properly done good hard chrome lasts decades. if you are riding on salted winter roads, i salute you, but yeah then you're just gonna have to accept that your vehicle is disposable. i wonder if it would help to periodically rub on a thin layer of oil and bake it on with the exhaust heat, like seasoning a frying pan?

I just search for the part number on eBay. There's always some random dude in Kentucky or whatever who has the parts in stock for about the same price as everywhere else, with free shipping, and they arrive in 4 days. Sorry RevZilla.

That's one reason that filtering to the front at stoplights is actually safer than staying in line.

When I first started learning to fly, I had a week off during spring break and scheduled several lessons. It was rainy and foggy with like two mile visibility and 1000 foot ceilings the whole time so the flying portion of every lesson got canceled. I was bummed out. But after the third cancellation the friendly chief of the flight school said to me "we have a saying: it's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than the other way around." I've noticed a lot of similarities between flying and motorcycling over the years, and I think the sentiment behind that saying is a good one to keep in mind.
