If you're riding straight, there's not too much apparent motion to someone looking to turn, the bike just gets a little bigger over time. By the time you start to have more apparent motion, he already thinks that direction's ok. If you swerve a bit, then the cager sees some motion to draw his attention.

At least you get some variation there, bike meets/nights here across the pond are usually chrome turd fests. Glide, sportster, softtail, dyna, glide, sportster, softtail, dyna, glide, sportster, softtail, dyna, glide, sportster, softtail, dyna, glide, sportster, softtail, dyna...road king.....ad nauseum. And lots of claims to be "custom". Cus·tom noun \ˈkəs-təm\ 1: an action or way of behaving that is usual and traditional among the people in a particular group or place Seriously, it's like a two wheel Phillip Glass song.

I lived the 80's and have been sick and tired of hairbands for 20 years. I swear if you played Pyromania on a continuous loop, they'd be happy. That's another reason I avoid bike meets/rally's like the plague.

Had a conversation about bikes with a guy at work, said his dad's friend had a Busa that he added another gear to so it would go faster. Yup, I'm sure he did.

Schroeder91 posted:It's hard to say. 6 months maybe before the engine went kaput and it sat? It's a Vstrom and it came with PIAA lights on it which I swapped for LED lights, and tossed on heated grips and the USB charger. I've only used the usb charger once, and it's phoenix so I don't use the heated grips much. I use the lights every so often but kinda rare to use them for extended durations. Not riding as much as I'd like Check your voltage at highway rpm, around 4500, it should be around 14.5- 14.8V. If it's lower, it could be a bad regulator, stator coil or loose stator magnets, which are all common on the 1000DL/SV/TL engine. I had both loose magnets and a bad coil at the same time, one masking the other. Got the obviously loose magnets glued back in and still had low voltage, checked the coil and had a burnt wire. Definitely get in there and check your magnets, if they work their way loose there's not much room before the start hitting things and damaging the coil and breaking the magnets themselves and those aren't sold separately, so you'd have to buy a whole new assembly or wait until a part out on stromtroopers. JB Weld seems to be the go to fix, clean the surface well, I used degreaser then alcohol. Now they have about 7Kmi on them and they're holding at 14.8V. The coil's an easy unplug, unbolt, reverse process fix too, just be careful with the side case gasket.

Schroeder91 posted:Ah jeeze I hope it's not that bad. Getting really sick of having to fix poo poo on this fucker all the time, as much as I love it. It needs drained, so it's a good time to change the oil & filter. The side case came off for me after I persuaded it with a rubber hammer and pulled, the magnets will try to hold it, but don't pull too hard in case it lets loose since the coil is attached to it. The gasket should be ok as long as you pull straight out. Suzuki's high quality standard strikes again, it's a shame because it's a good bike that does what it was made to do well. There's a guy on the Stromtrooper forum with about 400K miles on his and the 1000's often go over 200K, it's just these issues(clutch basket  ).
