BlackMK4 posted:You know what's worse than quitting cigarettes? The first time I went on a long ride after quitting smoking was both funny and a little depressing. I kept pulling off at my normal spots where I'd stop for a smoke, and when I realized what I was doing as I was taking my helmet off I'd have to ask myself "what now?". Inevitably I'd just buckle back up and keep riding. Makes the ride to Prescott a whole lot shorter.

You mean to tell me that not everyone does this? I thought it was standard operating procedure. Might explain the looks I get while out on the trails...

I've been eyeballing mid 00's literbikes lately because clearly my SV650 isn't enough bike for my 6 mile commute. This isn't unreasonable, right?

You're right. It's not about how fast your ride is that makes you masculine, it's how loud.

So I was cruising through on some sidestreets near downtown the other day, and the streets have alternating east/west and north/south stop signs. As I was heading west maybe 5-10 seconds out from a n/s stop a goddamn excursion just goes barreling through the intersection doing probably 40 (in a 25). If I had been going even a little bit faster I would have gotten loving plastered. gently caress me.

Just don't be like me and try to warm your right hand on the motor and using your left hand on the throttle. It's a great way to hit the killswitch in rush hour traffic.

Over the past few months what I thought was my preworkout giving me gas turned out to be a fat fuckin hernia. So I had surgery back at the beginning of the month and i haven't ridden since then and I'm about to go crazy. The weather in phoenix is finally almost not awful to ride in and I just ughhhjhhhh. Hopefully in the next week or two I can get back on. Longest month of my life right here.

I’d own the gently caress out of a Road King at the right price, especially if it wasn’t my only bike.

This isn’t a rant so much as a love letter to the dude who let me have a little fun on a beautiful day. Was out for a ride and there’s a nice long on-ramp where you can give it the beans for a bit which I was looking forward to. I was coming up to it and there’s a sweeping right with a yield for traffic turning left into it. As I’m getting there a big ol’ super duty pulling a trailer full of scrap or something is starting to turn left. Pretty sure he read my supremely disappointed body language and saw me shaking my head sadly because he slowed down and stuck his arm out the window and waved me on like a third base coach sending me to home. As a rule I rarely let other cars break the flow/rules of traffic for me because that’s how bad poo poo happens but today it was much appreciated. Semi-related I’m currently on the hunt for a cheap Sportster because while I adore the Monster, I need something to putter around town on because while I knew it was gonna be kinda dumb I’m starting to get tired of being stuck in 2nd gear all day every day around my part of Seattle.

RightClickSaveAs posted:Nothing fills me with rage more effectively than people acting like cops on the road about motorcycles. I commuted year round on a bike in AZ, that’s a much needed change. It was like 120 in August and I was on the 143/202 interchange just trying to get home during rush hour and it was all sorts of backed up. I was slowly cruising along the shoulder when some shitheel in a brodozer drat near went 90 degrees to traffic to block me. I pulled the same move Toe Rag did and as I was rolling by he was already hopping out and screaming at me. I wish you the best of luck.

Slavvy posted:Having a Ducati is a sign you need a backup bike First of all how dare you. I knew this was coming when I bought the bike but the Seattle area is basically devoid of Ducati techs so it will absolutely go on to a new owner well before the next Desmo service comes up. Jokes on me though cause I’ll probably get an Aprilia next.

I’m a diehard sport(ish) bike guy but I 1000% get where that comes from. I test rode a couple Harleys in my hunt for a new bike before i got the Monster and I absolutely loved it, just big dumb and lazy which is sometimes really nice. If the prices weren’t prohibitive I may very well have ended up with one, and I’m still on the hunt for a Sportster for an around town bike. They need to get with the times with many things, but the turn signals drive me crazy more than anything.
