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.. |

I can ride almost year round in DFW and riding to work would shave 20 minutes off my commute because I could hit the shoulder for a particularly bad slowdown on my way to/from home. |

I'm leaving Thursday morning for Fayetteville. I'd wait for you Dayze, but I'm gonna be like a kid on christmas trying to get out of here. Lucked into a campsite at the Washington County Fairgrounds last week (60 bucks for 3 nights), so if you are looking for lodging, you might call and see if there is still room. Headed down solo, since all my friends flaked. Not gonna let their poor decisions to get married and have kids force me to miss this. Dayze, I'll PM you my number and maybe we can hook up for some riding while we're down there. Most of the Pig Trail is open, there is a small section down near I 40 that is closed due to the washout. 23 is only one road, and there are countless great rides down through there.

I was going to suggest you look at the Yamaha FJ-09..it's a cool little bike..it's got a triple cylinder motor in it so it makes tons of torque and revs high..they are only a couple years old so they are still up around $8000-$10000 in price..so if you don't know how much you will get yet I'm not sure how hard you are looking into bikes right now |

This is the best single day charity ride I go on every year. I ride with a group of friends, and we have a blast every year. If you can keep your bike in a straight line, at slow speeds, and not get freaked out by the number of bikes, you should really do this one. Going for the 1000 dollar club next year so I can take my bike for a couple laps.
