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.. |

Anyone doing the Cassoday run this Sunday?
I'll be heading down there for the first time. My brother and I will be meeting some riders in Gardner; then stopping in Ottawa for a few other riders. Then in Council Grove for breakfast, then onto Cassoday. My brother and I don't know any of the other riders, so it won't be like anyone is crashing a party/ride. Hell, the only person my brother knows is the guy that sold him his Night Train. I'm in Lenexa, essentially 95th and I-35. We're meeting in Gardner about 0800-0815. If anyone is up for a ride let's meet up. |

just did a quick search and looks like about 159 miles each way. I'm sure folks can ride down in a group, and head back from Cassoday whenever they need to etc. My brother has his daughter's soccer game to go to, so I know he and I won't be down there all day or anything etc.
Dayze would need to stop for fuel in Gardner, Ottawa, Council Grove, and Cassoday lol. |

If they had Baby Gap Motorcycle Helmets, I would buy one. Another thing is the current helmet I have is so HEAVY. Its a Modular and I like the modular part, because it allows me to drink water...and yes smoke, but man I need something lighter cause after a long day my neck will kill me. |

Been awhile since I've looked at the BMW lineup, but new for 2014 is the R nineT...
Think I'm in love. ****in thing is so popular they've already sold out and you have to wait a year to actually get it if you ordered today. |

The only thing I'm not a fan of is that boxer engine. It makes an otherwise skinny bike fat, but I could learn to love it because everything else is just awesome.

I rode a friend KT1200 ( I think that's what it was); the torque was awesome/fun. though it felt 'odd' in terms of the feeling while on the bike / under acceleration etc. But shit....I rode that thing down to Clinton MO; then the alphabet highways. shit that was a fun bike. could ride it all day, and slam it into curves.
though if I had my druthers, I'd grab a Kawasaki Concours over the BMW if I had the $. |

I wish Ducati still made their sport classic they ran for a few years recently.

I have Spokes on my Triumph and I run tubes. Just changed out the tires and decided I better get new tubes as well. |
