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.. |

Let me ask how old is the bike? If you lack a title and the bike is older then 15 years old there is the Vermont loophole. I have known people to use this on old barn finds lacking a title. Basically you can do this all online, get a title from Vermont, then that title would be recognized in other states and it would be a simple transfer. This thread is very long but may be worth a look. https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/h...-title.655441/ |

Proud dad moment... So the son and I end up getting stuck in the middle of not only rain, but a little a little bit of hail too. We had decided to not "wait it out", but to deal with it instead, and that's just the start. Not 2 minutes into it small bit's of hail start coming down and we were at another decision point, it wasn't just cold rain. As I calulated the best way to go and pulling over seemed smart, but dangerous at the same time, I get the sign from a guy in a truck who gets in front of me, I see the HD tag on the back of his truck, and he and his lady were there to make sure we had nothing to worry about in front of us, and to pace us. It's amazing how these things happen in the riding community! The riding community, and anybody who knows me, knows that I have pretty-much zero brand loyalty, but we look out for people on two wheels. The bottom line is I was able to witness y son take that step that "real" (whatever that means) bikers know, and explain to him how, even when in your car/truck, you watchout for and help your brothers/sisters on bikes. We got the help today, you might need to give the help tomorrow. So, again, for people who aren't fair weather riders (not that there's anything wrong with that), it's good to know that my kid is becoming a better all-round rider, and learned a lesson from somebody who we may never meet, about how you help other people/bikers who might have their hands full with the given situation. To the dude who lead the way for us, thank you, I hope I can buy you and your lady a beer to repay the courtesy some day...

The son and I had a great ride today. Wow, what great weather. did what we called the river run (MO 224) from Napoleon to Lexington, stopped at the Spotted Pig for lunch (The Heist was closed), then took the long way back home north of the river.
Good times... |

Once the early summer, we all need to get together for a ride... Start with breakfast somewhere, ride for a while, lunch, and just a great time...
The son is learning the various brotherhoods, and enjoying them all. |
