So how many times have you been pulled over since you came on this board? Cause to be honest I break laws all the time and have yet to be pulled over on the bike, save for a DUI checkpoint. Maybe you should alter your riding.

Yeah it's like that anywhere tho, you never win fighting the cops, only fighting the courts. Maybe you'll be a bit less of a target with another naked bike but then again maybe not. I think in my case it might just be that I do all that I can to fly under the radar as opposed to the flashy morons who ride like dicks in the city. But seriously, besides minor infractions like speeding in front of cops or what they might term 'reckless' riding where the cop didn't seem to mind, I've ridden past a cop with nothing on my front end but the forks and wheel after I crashed my bike and they didn't bat an eye. Its like if you wear gear and ride a standard here, you're invisible. nsaP fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Apr 30, 2014 |

Dude showing the road doesn't help your case really. I was picturing a skinny road with a dirt/gravel shoulder but that road is literally 2 lanes wide. Look back at the car behind. You should have just passed her.

It's actually kinda fun, the bike wiggles and waves as you go across. I'll record running across one if it's that interesting, we still have one for car traffic that's not used as much as other bridges.

I wave at everyone and don't care who waves back cause, gently caress them, can't harsh my buzz. I wave at cars that are courteous or even just notice me, too. I like to thank the good ones instead of getting pissed at the lovely ones, hopefully they remember the nice motorcyclist and not just the dickholes.

That's one of the typical mistakes I've never made but I make sure to kick the stand again, after I put it out, to make sure it's fully extended.

adary posted:So we have this weekly meet here in Israel, every friday, at a very nice place in Tel Aviv, where a lot of bikers, classic car enthusiasts and sports car enthusiasts like to hang around. Starting two weeks ago we (bikers/sport cars) are pretty much evicted from the place by the police, new signs restricting bike traffic are up. Last friday cops placed roadblocks at every possible approach to the area, and on the way there I got pulled over. Man that's rough to be treated like that...and they moved in on your land? drat.

Count the blessings. I tried to get my buddies into riding. So far 1 got a bike, crashed it, and is scared of it. 2 are getting married instead. 1 will probably get one but his confidence often outweighs his ability, so I'm worried. One sold his cause he had a baby. Not much success.

Yeah I don't think my buddy who crashed has done 1000 miles since last July. Kinda curious actually cause he says he rides it to work and stuff but I don't really believe him. I'll have to sneakily ask to see the title somehow lol.

No one said it was the only reason, just one of them. Sure the effect is small, but it exists. Same reason they pop out of the bubble.

Do what you're saying but instead pop out of the bubble when going a steady speed then check your speed again. It's a difference of at least 5 mph for me holding the throttle in the same spot on a small fairing 250 ninja. This is going like 75 mph and they're doing triple that and drag increases on a square iirc.

Wind resistance doesn't give a poo poo what kind of bike you're riding? edit: to be clearer we're talking about braking, not when they're on the power. I was just saying to do it at highway speed as an example. If air resistance wasn't an issue they wouldn't worry about all the poo poo they worry about. Tucking in the fairing, speed humps on the suits, clear plastic helmet add ons, etc etc. These guys are looking for tenths on the best bikes in the world, it all matters. nsaP fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Jun 1, 2014 |

Shimrod posted:Yeah, I know, I was just saying that at that with more HP you will still have that wind resistance, but it won't bother it as much. What I was getting at was I don't even have to give it more throttle to hold my speed on my 600, on my 250 I had to give it more. I was reading an AMA by Mark Miller and I thought I'd quote him here

I don't think we've disagreed then but you're sure posted a lot of paragraphs about it. Also if you can catch the BT sport coverage of the race the intro has Rossi saying the wind at the end of the straight is ridic and it takes a lot of work to stay on the bike when you pop out of the bubble. That part we did disagree on. nsaP fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Jun 2, 2014 |

in NZ that road would be unmarked and 1.5 cars wide. There are occasional wide spots for cars to go past eachother but otherwise you're in the gravel trying to crawl around eachother. And then large trucks use those roads and always seem to be coming around the next blind corner.

Bieks are awesome so I just drop a gear but ugh. Pretty much every type of vehicle blocked me at least once but cruiser riders were the majority. Most of the people I came up on didn't have a clue about the correct line and half couldn't hold a smooth line thru a corner. There's some 129slayer pics of sone dudes in front of me looking like they 're riding hard and then me rolling thru behind them 1 handed.

I was told once that stop signs in private lots weren't really compulsory cause the cops don't have control there. It kinda makes sense cause I know they don't mess around with parking lot accidents, but at the same time don't people get ticketed for parking in handicapped spots? Or does that only happen on city streets and not really at wal mart or w/e?
