The Motorcycle Discussion Thread
I figure there are some motorcycle guys/gals on CP, so I thought we could have a place to talk all things Motorcycles.
Tire Mount and Balance Prices (as of 10/29/16) Prices based on if you remove the wheels yourself and bring the wheels and new tires with you: Cycle Gear - $35 per wheel if you buy tires from them. $58 per wheel if you buy tires elsewhere Rawhide - $65 per wheel (assuming it would be the same at other HD dealers. they book it at 1/2 hr per wheel) C R Cycle Tires (DeSoto) - $30 per wheel Cheapest I've found my Michelin Commander II's. Seem like they have good prices on other brands too. http://www.jakewilson.com - Free 3 day shipping on orders over $75 Last edited by Dayze; 10-29-2016 at 09:02 PM.. |

you should see the looks I get from people when I'm rolling up to a bike night or anywhere that parking is full and an open spot comes available on the opposite side of the road/lane/parking area.. I can whip my bike 180 etc in such a tight area; look where I'm going, upright seating position, let the bike lean, throttle/clutch/rear brake etc. we have a guy we ride with that has a lot of d-bag qualities about him. He constantly races from light to light. revs his ****ing bike for no reason at stop lights. constantly checking himself in his mirrors to see how he looks etc. We roll up to a watering hole and I see a spot where all 4 of our bikes could go - I roll up, whip my bike around and back it in. The d-bag, rolled down a few more spots and parked. when he came back to us, he was like "Man...how the hell did you do that. there was no way i was trying that". My brother just laughed and said "shit...he does that crap all that time to me". my brother rides a Night Train with drag bars, so his overall position is a little different than mine. He's a little shorter too, so his legs are extended a bit more than mine are as well. |

Same technique I used to us to make a u-turn on a narrow road on my sport bike. Takes some practice to get the feel for it but it’s a lot faster and easier than duck walking your bike through a multipoint turn just to get spun around.

We used to do that to each other all the time, quickly learned to roll up to a stop light in neutral so you could cover you keys with one hand and kill switch with the other. |

Sure, but there's a big difference between doing that on a sport bike and an 800lb+ Road King.
