Are the feelers not screwed in? Ever bike I've owned with feelers had them screwed in, so you could pop new ones in when they got ground down.

Nitramster posted:On that topic; growing up in California I think it's crazy this state is the only one to allow lane sharing, considering all the left-wingers ruining everything. I would never ride in traffic if I had to sit behind cars and wait to get Oreo cookie'd. lol why would anyones political leanings have an effect on whether or not they like lane splitting?

If anything you'd think lefties would like lane splitting. Less vehicles idling in traffic = Less pollution.

Digital_Jesus posted: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. Warning stickers you take off on day one, or not at all. That adhesive is meant to last.

Sock Weasel posted:Parking up at Kroger and a store worker comes over to talk bikes, which would be great if the first words out of his mouth weren't "Have you crashed it yet?" There are people out there who actually believe that a regular part of riding is crashing semi regularly, like, its just a thing that happens as a consequence of riding. These are generally the same people who think bikes will just tip over at speed if the rider isn't actively fighting against gravity to keep it up.

It's two weeks fresh off the dealership floor and is spotless, take a guess. I'm neither male nor wearing shorts with sandals to ride though so I am clearly an inferior rider.

People used to try to race me constantly when I had my GSXR. This was also in 04 at the height of the ricer/street racer craze in the US. The only one who got close was a Viper ACR, but it still didnt happen for him. I gave up even getting into the powerband for most other cars. Wasnt worth the gas/risk/ticket. People dont try to race the DRZ, they mostly stare or ask questions.

I don't get merged into much, but I get people pulling out in front of me from cross roads all the time. It's how I learned to pull high speed endos on the drz. I don't know what it is, but for some reason people just can't see my bright yellow supermoto from a 90 degree angle

He's right though about people taking his posting (whether quantity or quality) very seriously here for some reason and as annoyed as people get with it, its just as annoying to hear(see, I guess) them complain about it. C.A. isnt the fastest moving forum out there, I never understood the complaint of "you post too much" in a forum that sees only a handful of posts every day.

Anyone who appreciates good riding and safe riding and has the gall to type out words about it is the CA Hivemind, IRC crew or not. The CA Hivemind comment only seems to seriously come up when someone gets told they're being dumb and has no recourse but to say that it's some conspiracy against them.

I did not have a great experience with epic on my fcr carb either. It took way too long to get shipped, and I got all the same excuses, "that part ison back order" or whatever every time I called. It finally shipped, but it wasnt jetted anywhere near correct for my bike. Things have been going downhill for at least the majority of 2013 at epic, and there is a decently large thread on thumpertalk discussing the various ways people got screwed by their terrible customer service. Sucks to see him go, because he did build some of the strongest drz engines out there, but it was pretty clear towards the end that he either didn't know how to run a business, or didn't want to.

People who don't ride have zero understanding of how riding works and at best equate it to riding a heavy bicycle at highway speeds. Much like people who don't fly helicopters tend to believe that they are incredibly unsafe and always about to fall out of the sky at the slightest provocation.

The best part of owning a supermoto is when people ask how fast it is, you can say "it's not" and then just get on to talking about bikes sans all the dickwaving.

Awwwww Yissss, Craigslist bitch time. I hate ads for bikes with no titles, because they invariably say "No title, but you can get one super easy from the DMV with a bill of sale". No. You cant. The WI DMV absolutely will not give you a title unless you bring them a title first. Full Stop. gently caress you for saying otherwise, because I've been down that road a couple of times. I am in total agreeance on the chopper thing, and the MKE craigslist is fairly loaded with them. Sorry buddy but your $100,000 chrome shitbike wasnt worth that when you bought it, and it sure as hell isnt worth that now. Also the dudes who think their bike is a piggy bank that they can withdraw the money they stuck into it from, tax free. I dont care if the paint job on your Hayabusa cost $10,000 (it didnt), you've still got a Hayabusa on your hands that needs a new set of bodywork because you have lovely taste in paint.

There should be a legal loophole to allow you to hunt those people for sport. I got like 10 of those people when I sold my old drz. The guy who finally bought it listed it for sale on Craigslist the next day. I messaged him to see what was up. His answer? "The street tires on it suck in the mud".

I am hating winter right now. My car seized the idler pulley, snapped the belt, and $500 later I have a new pulley and belt installed. On the way home from the dealership with my newly installed parts, I creamed a deer at about 55mph. Front drivers side is all smashed up. I dont know if it will be totalled or not yet. All this and I have to rely on my wife to drive me to and from work. I really wish I could take the DRZ right now. I know, first world problems, which of my number of vehicles that exceed the number of people living in my house can I or can I not take, right? Either way, this is the ranting chamber, and I'm pissed.
