Not so sure the tires on the other bikes in this thread would suit me.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

That looks like some fun ridin' right there.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Anyone check out the new Husky 630 yet? Looks like a bad mama jama! :banger

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Low air box height, drive chain on the wrong side. Nope. If it helps I did see a 510 get drown last week though. Luckly the guy right behind him on the DR 650 was able to go upstrean around him.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Really? Sounds like it would suck for off roading.... Nothing worse than forging a creek and sucking in water halfway across. Only ever happened to me once, along time ago. :D

My anchor back then was a KD-80

Sweet bike Tony! :tu

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Thanks Hal. Just turned 10k on her.

Wish I could afford to put Termis on.:hn

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

The last few times I've been out riding it's been way to hot. My ass just cooks on the seat at stop lights. Any suggestions on solving this problem besides avoiding stop lights?

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

I know what you mean. Here in S. Florida were getting into roasting weather.
I try and ride after dinner when it starts to cool off a little.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

:tu What is low/high mileage for a bike anyway? I've got a little over 8k on mine and wasn't sure if that was hi or low or just right?

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

I was talking to my dealer the other day, drooling over an 848 dark. He said the miles on my bike were high for the amount of time that I have owned it (November 08).

I need to slow down as I am fastly approaching the 15k service. Where they really :xxx

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Yikes! They say you gotta pay to play. :tu

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

One one the reasons why I have not tracked it yet. I couldn't afford to fix it. :r

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

No doubt! :tu

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Hopefully headed to the Dragon this weekend with a couple neighbors.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

:tu Will have to make a point to head up here since it's fairly close to my house.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Hmm 15K - 18K a year for me. last year I missed a lot due to health but this year is rolling along quite nicely. It was 91, sunny and beautiful all weekend. Got in about 150 miles total.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Holy crap Mike! You are a riding son of a gun!

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Riding sooths my soul. I need it.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

I've been known to crash at the track every now and again. Crashing sucks. (yeah I know this is a repost from the front page but how often do you get an action sequence of yourself wadding your pride and joy? :r)

^^^^^ nice pic Justyn. :tu

Here's a pic from the trackday on the 21st.

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/d...s/NM1U4384.jpg

I thought it might be my only one this year, but weak_link and my other friends put together a collection at my bachelor party to raise money for another one. And then the new wife got me a gift certificate from one of the trackday providers. I must say I'm a very lucky guy.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

LOVE the Dragon, been there many many times, one of my all time favorite roads.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Just got back from 6 days, 2,123 miles in 97* heat and humidity. From VA to Memphis to B'ham, Al, back to VA. Out ran some 60 mph winds and hail by just a little bit. Great trip! What a great way to see the US.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Any pics of some of the cool stuff you saw?

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

2001 Harley Ultra Classic - bumped to 95hp/97lbs...oh, and new speakers! :D

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Naw, just pics of the party I went to. I don't do much stopping when I'm traveling. If it was me, gas, beef jerky, and some water. With the wives we did a lot of long lunches, etc. I don't really have an eye for what makes a good pic. Some places are obvious but must not so much. I often see others trip pics and think, wow who would have thought to stop there and take a picture.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

lol, I'm the same way when I'm on the bike. I ride by and think 'that would make a great photo' but never stop. I'm usually just happy to be out riding and don't want to get bogged down looking for photo ops.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Amen, I pass by more cool stuff cause I'm not taking the time to stop. Of course that's usually cause I'm on my way to a destination and just want to get there. Maybe one of these days I just need to take a two month trip with no destination in mind and take the time to stop and see the worlds largest snot ball.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

:tu Nice!

What are the chances Corbin will take your old seat and recover it their way for less than what they sell them for?

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

How about just getting a bike that doesn't fall apart so we can actually ride somewhere. :fu2 :=:

:D

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Damn Austrians. :r

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Am I the only one that likes the more classic style?

She needs a lot more work but I love it.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Nice looking bike, but not good for the style of riding I do. I can't imagine 200 miles on it much less 2,000 miles.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

In the past you could have had it done. Now-a-daze...it might be worth buying new, unless you get someone local to do the work....hmmmm, I'll have to look.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

I sent Corbin an email asking if it was possible but have not received a response back yet.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Finally got impatient and called Corbin. They will recover one of my old seats for half the price of buying one of their seats. Three to four week turn around time! :tu $164 vs. $329 not a bad deal IMO. The guy on the phone also told me they build up the front of the seat a little higher than the factory seat so you don't smash the boys when you jam on the brakes.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Pretty sure you should just ride out to CA to my place for a smoke, then we can ride down to Corbin so they can do a custom fit. :banger:D

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

That would be so great, if I could. I think it will be cheaper to just mail the seat to them. :)

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Heh, I wish we were all millionares so we didn't have to work and could focus on the fun things in life like friends, smokes, and riding. :r

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

I actually sold my Corbin because of that. I found the "boys" were uncomfortable on the Corbin. The front where they build it up was the cause for pain, not the solution too. I prefer the Mustang and/or Ultimates over the Corbin.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

After 10 years of riding with no incidents, it all ended last night.

Sitting at a red light, minding my own business on my 9, when this 82 year old guy slams into the back of the bike, and pushes me approx 50 feet through a busy intersection before the bike finally dumps. How nobody hit me coming the other way I'll never know.

I actually didn't know how the accident happenned at all. I was sitting there when suddenly, to me, the bike just took off like a bat out of hell, with me hanging on for dear life trying to keep it rubber side down and under control with the bike swinging wildly underneath me. Finally I lost it and down it went, smacking my head pretty hard off of the pavement. Plenty of witnesses who got me out of the middle of the road, and it was only then that I learned what happenned, the guy not only hit me, he was literally pushing me and the bike down the road in front of him. I I had gone down right away he would have just crushed me, just run right over the top of me.

: I had my head gear on, or I'd be gone.

I had a heavy leather motorcycle jacket on, and motorcycle pants which save me from some serious road rash.

I had on heavy leather motorcycle boots, with steel toes. At some point my leg must have been trapped under the bike because on my right boot toe the leather is completely gone, and about half of the steel, just ground right away. If that had been my foot in sneakers, I probably wouldn't have a foot right now.

End of the story, much confusion, police, ambulances, back boad, neck brace, clothes being cut off, iv. drips, x rays, yada yada yada. I'm banged up, my shoulder and left thumb are screwed up, but they've sent me home and it could have been so much worse.

Guys, even if you don't have to wear it, wear your gear.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Wow, glad you are ok Vic.

AGATT.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

That thing is BOSS! :tu

Vic, glad you are mostly OK. AGATT FTW! Even when it's 100+ out here I'll be in full leathers. You just never know when you are going to need it.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Check out Mean City Cycles. I had my seat foam replaced with the memory foam/impact gel. I've since ridden it cross country with NO problems. I could barely last 30 minutes on the stock seat, now 8-10 hours is nothing.
