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.. |

sounds about right. There's so much cheese at Rawhide that realy the only thing I go there for is a quick part here and there, or a few free beers on bike night when I don't have a ton of time to ride, but still want to get out of the house after a rough week at work. And even their bike nights pale in comparison to Worth. lol. I have noticed, however, that they seem to work a 'little' with guys they see up there all the time on their own bikes. Friend of mine just bought his Ultra there after riding a SG for a few years - always up there, parts, bike nights etc. He was able to get a fair deail, IMO, pretty much right out of the gate. Sucks that it seems that way. Personally, I'd never buy a bike from them again. Aint nobody got time for that.

did a little bit of mock up tonight, have everything in my brain needed to make this work, which includes sending this tank back and getting a similar tank in the 'rubber mount' style as this universal mount just wont fly.

To those who have ever stopped in at Slowride Roadhouse in Lawrence, the owner Jesse De Campos (spelling?), was killed in a bike crash late last night. Two guys riding, deer popped out, first guy laid his bike down, and Jesse (following behind) ended up getting tossed off the bike. Deer, of course, was unharmed. ****ING DEER.
I don't even like riding 32hwy (not sure if this is the road where it happened, I'm just saying...) out to Lawrence anymore. Zero escape routes . What a bummer. Stay safe out there everyone.

Deer!
My biggest fear on the bike anymore. I always hate hearing news like this. Any idea of the time of day this occurred? |

...and at that time of night, who knows if he had been drinking. Yeah, Deer have me freaked out. this year alone I've had 3 seperate occasions where a Deer darted out, or was making his way towards darting out. I've seriously been contemplating lately selling my SG and moving to dirt riding either via 4 wheeler or dirtbikes. but I know nothing about either, so I dunno. I love riding, but it's just pure chaos out there most days.

dawn and dusk I don't like to be on 2 lane roads in the country, or smaller state highways etc. much prefer interstate at those hours, because at least I have somewhat of an escape route if needed etc.

for me it's always been about trying to avoid complacency; knowing the environment I'm about to ride in, what time of day, time of season etc. I try to purposefully remind myself to NOT get complacent. as I'm sure you can relate, it's really easy to if you ride all the time. sometimes I juts need to check myself / remind myself when I sling a leg over the saddle.
