I have yet to get a ticket on a bike, warnings, yes, warnings for warp 3.5-4 x the speed limit (115 in a 30) 3 or 4 times over a ton, and a couple times I was getting a ticket, when the officer got a call, he said "today's your lucky day" and then sped off with lights and sirens
been 50 years since my last ticket in my truck
He claimed to have gotten me going faster than what he cited me for. Planning to fight it.Quote:

Keeping the road safe from 10 over while an infinite number of people drove by staring at their phones.
After the most over-complicated oil change out of any vehicle I’ve ever owned, I took the Duke 690 out for a quick spin to get some tags. Somehow I can’t add photos anymore
The screens... :twitch:
You've never done a fluid change on a Harley? :spit:Quote:

Yeah, it's an old AMF joke but I like it.
That's actually more annoying for me. I'd rather just do em all in one go.

LOL! Every third scheduled oil change, they all align...or something like that. :lol:Quote:

yup that was my spring fluid change every year. Then 1/2 way through the season just crankcase and filter. 'A' months April and August.Quote:

Took the Ninjette out yesterday for a quick run for state inspection ("stickah"). Got home five hours and 110 miles later. Stopped at Forge Pond in Forge Village for the snack I'd packed.

I took the duc out for a quickie yesterday. 84 degrees and clean roads. Felt great. I got lucky on the ticket front. Caught behind a minivan in a tight corner where I easily 2x it. There he was.
you were in my 'hood. Nice place for a lunch.Quote:

Was coming out of Best Buy across the street as it was breaking up, :smash: HOLY REV LIMITER batman, WTF do people do that shit for....sounds horrendous :stfu:
Figured you'd notice this post! Nice hidden spot, bit tricky getting in and out with all the turning traffic, but everyone seems to take it slow there.Quote:

looks like it's 2nd tuesday of the month, 5-8PM, so basically THE WORST time of the day to be on route 2... I saw :spudnikcop: sitting in parking lots in both directions within a 1/2 mile just waiting for the idiots with no throttle control...
:frown: Sucks about the seal, :idea: but now you have a new mini project, fluid, seals & upgraded springs
Was thinking today might be 1st ride of the season, but not looking good at this point :pcbash: ... Will get out for a quick rip tomorrow though, got the day off..
Still a lot of sand, haven't seen the street sweepers out yet...
first ride of year today, rolled my AK550 out of the barn, started right up, added about 4 psi to each of the tires, ran some errands, went to PT, stopped at RMS to pay my account, looked thru the showroom, then went to visit my pharmacist. only 30 or so miles, perfect ride in tshirt & shorts weather
Weekend started out great

Then turned into a recovery mission.

Since the ride was cut short and there was room in the Uhaul, I had them pickup my $250 Tiger on the way back; My friend in NorCal had picked it up for me and was storing it.
