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.. |

Potentially selling my bike today and one of the first good days of the year to ride will be tomorrow.
Mother nature is simply an asshole. |

Not the same as selling the bike, but Ill probably have to sell my car here soon if I don't find some work. I'd rather keep the bike and car pool with the wife on the days the weather is shitty. and some time before fall, get a beater car for like $1k. which sucks. I have an '08 Rabbit; I bought used with 40kmiles back in '11, an have only put 15k on it. I'm about a year from paying it off. Plus, I like the car. It's fun to drive etc. Hopefully I won't 'need' to sell it. we'll see. I suspect that decision is quickly approaching. |

anyone going out riding later in JoCo? I might head out in a 1/2 hour (or whenever if anyone is wanting to ride) and ride for about an hour but might ride later too.

dude. that looks like a good time right there.
I went on a 70 mile ride here in KC this afternoon. holy shit it was windy. everything was cool while on the 35-45MPH roads; but once I hit 7 hwy South of of Leavenworth, I had a big time northerly head wind. It was bad. I couldn't wait to get off of the highway. Otherwise had a great ride. I found a new route to ride, so that's always a bonus. 70 mile, 2hour-ish ride. |

I'm not sure if there is one specifically for that. there are, however quite a few that are car related in general. Screw it, I'd start a thread ....maybe a mod can do something about your thread starting priveleges. I'm sure it'll be useful for others as well. |

Also, i'm not a little fella... so I've got a big ass head... and where a skid lid helmet... I dunno I just feel awkward with it... it sits so damned high on my dome. Anyone else suffer from a similar disorder? Big-dome-syndrome? |

Oh, and yes, I have a large dome. Impossible to find a bicycle helmet that fits my head unless I special order it. I hate flex fit/or stretch fit ball caps because they are always too tight on my head. Motorcycle helmets I have bought don't seem to be that way, though. I wear a half helmet. It's been discontinued at Leatherup.com but here is my helmet. http://youtu.be/nCFnVi833ig |

Honda and BMW Best Overall Brands . . .
They put many models out there, they try to hit the full range. Honda puts out the entire range and have superb street bikes. The Honda Hurricane. The Interceptor series from the late 80's, that's still a badass bike. The CBX. The 900F. You don't see any of these bikes on the road because they're all overseas in Asia, bought up by collectors.

The VFRs are still probably the best all around bike they have IMO. it can do everything and then some.
