Quoted from this thread: "I ride too. My theory is loud pipes are actually LESS SAFE. Why? Because if you're riding you a bike with an open exhaust, many cagers (myself included) will extend you no courtesy whatsoever. Heck, half the time I have no problem blocking, cutting off, tailgating, etc...
I like loud pipes....to an EXTENT. If ears are bleeding, then it's too much. There is a level where the bike sounds amazing and can be heard to some extent from a distance within reason, and then there is the 3" straight piped ear drum ringing exhaust that no one should run. Balance between...
As I stated before, ABATE! I told my wife and even other friends who have wanted help in finding bikes and working on them etc, that if they werent riding yet I refuse to help them with ANYTHING motorcycle related unless they take the Abate and get licensed the "right way". Wife, her brother...
Fake Blood and Blanks: Schools Stage Active Shooter Drills - NBC News
Intrigued. Not sure what to think. I think people are unaware it could happen to them in their "safe haven" of a school / work / church. Wife works at a hospital and had a woman attacked at knife point within 20 feet of her...
Buy for MORE than you plan on using it for....trust me. Buddy has a trailer that we def over-bought for and it has come in handy. Hauls motorcycles, but also hauls some stuff we never thought we'd need it for.
Understandably so. I know I have been burnt on 2-3 bikes personally due to seller's not being TOTALLY honest and forthcoming. It just seems like there is some middle room to make a few bucks. Slinging parts and service isn't generating much side business for me when most guys THINK they can...
Pricing WOULD reflect title status. For example I could have bought a 2010 sportbike (that is consider high on the sought out list) for around $2200. Book was $9k+ for private party sale. So even if I was in it for $4k, and sold for $5-6k, I'd be happy. Seems like there is money to be...
So my father-in-law and I are looking to buy / sell (ie flip) cars and probably more specifically motorcycles. The ones we are looking at are theft recoveries etc.
My question is this: How does the title status (Clean, salvage, rebuilt, etc) effect resale? I know that a salvage or rebuild...
That is such a ******* rule. If I am able to OC even on a motorcycle, then what's different than walking down the street OC? May, glad I don't go to Ohio often, and it's about to get even less...
Still hesitant to pull the trigger. Kind of the "get what you pay for" idea....local guy makes them custom for about $55-65 and has them same day. CAN'T DECIDE!!!
Had 2 chevy w/t (1994 and a 1999) with 4.3L V6. 2wd. Great trucks. NOw I own a 5.3L V8 (1999). 4x4. Again, great truck. All have / had over 100k and going strong.
Play / watch. Love the sport. Watching comes only a close second to NFL. Before the lockout years ago it use to be my #1, but then I lost some love for it. LOVE to play it thou...
I have spring fever....need more bike pics / talk!!
Anyone have any bike trips planned this season? Missed out on a Dragon trip last year due to some in my group's bad planning. Doing an overnight camp trip with only backpacks, riding to and from campsite etc. And numerous food destinations...
