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 participated in the Iowa Great River Gravel Ride last weekend. What a blast!
Around 75 Participants. I Logged 750 miles for the weekend and about 90% was on scenic gravel roads in the Iowa Mississippi Bluff Country. Anyway I test rode a KTM 1190 Adventure Bike. Holy shit this is a nice bike. What really blew my mind was the Electronic Throttle control this bike had. Raw it has 150 HP. You select a mode, Sport, Street, Rain or Off Road. So rain would allow only 100 HP and control your rear wheel slippage. But how this translates in riding is say you select Sport, it will only allow you to pop a wheelie at a certain angle. The thing is idiot proof. Read more here: http://www.ktm.com/us/travel/1190-ad...l#.U5CI58tOWdI |

Still seeing if Saturday will work.
For anyone else; is anyone going to the Branson rally next weekend? We have a group of probably 8 of us, most of whom I'm only met once or twice, leaving on Friday a.m. If anyone is going and wants to ride in a group, hit me up. the more the merrier!

I'm still planning... what type of accommodations are you all doing, dayze? I've got 2 others that say they are going with as well... but haven't talked to either in a month. i'll try to do so in the next day or so.

if you don't hear from them (or even if you do), you/ your group are more than welcom to ride with us. We're leaving on Friday morning. We can't check into either of our hotels/condo until 3pm. so we'll probably leave at 8am, and make our way down 13 through Clinton to Springfield etc then South to Branson. Sort of a mellow ride, no hurry etc. We're also planning on trying to stop at Springfield Harley Davidson probably to rest for a bit and to pick up a shirt. The folks we're riding with aren't leaving until Monday, so My brother and I will be riding back Sunday. Probably a similar scenario; leave a little early and make our way back to KC on no real giving schedule etc.

holy piss....that's awesome.
I'm glad they went back to something like this. I really wish they didn't stop making these. but so glad they have got back to sort of a 'cafe racer' niche.

probably, but not set in stone. I like to ride about 60-ish. we 'might' swing off to 7 at Clinton.
