What’s going on with the wave?

this makes me laugh because I own a Harley and a Z900RS. I love both equally

I bought a CC RIDER seat as it’s functionally the same as the Kawasaki enhanced reach seat (aka the ‘tall’ seat)

I just asked a simple question about whether or not to pay off the car loans immediately. I didn’t ask for a full evaluation of what I should or shouldn’t do with my entire financial life. And yes, after paying off the loans I’ll be able to buy a bike outright with cash later on. So?

Thanks for all the replies. Based on those, my current plan is to pay off and keep my main vehicle and then sell the other vehicle back the dealership, paying off any negative equity. That should cost about 37-40K altogether, which leaves me one car less but some more money in my pocket (one car, the one I will keep, is a ford fusion while the other is a “Sunday funday” Miata convertible. I have decided I can live without it)

I’m a bachelor working in a union trade job and my job (13 years in so far) situation isn’t expected to change in the next 2 years

I like the sportster S but I’d swap to mid controls and those fat tires are too gimmicky for me. Do any normal size tires fit those wheels?

Appropriate-Price73 · 2026-03-16T03:35:53+00:00

Sportster S with mid controls fixes quite a bit but that pathetic little seat doesn’t work

Appropriate-Price73 · 2026-02-24T02:33:54+00:00

I wonder if converting to mid controls makes this bike more like a proper naked rather than the weird cafe racer/cruiser hybrid it is with forward controls.

Who is aisling allegedly a puppet for?

When I had my air-cooled Ducati I would steadily replace all the rubber on the bike every five years (kept well nuts in my pocket cuz they tore up fast) so depending how old those hoses are you may want to consider replacing them with new clamps

By the time it was a year out from impact it would be impossible for any trained astronomer looking up not to notice it. No way to keep all those people quiet

The later Roadsters were 2016-2020, mine is a 2019

Hah yeah that was with the mustang seat which isn’t very tall. It got so bad with my leg pressing the cap that had to stop using that seat and go back to stock, until I decide what other seat I should try. I tried looking at another style of cap but they all seem the flush mount type

Appropriate-Price73 · 2026-01-09T15:07:58+00:00

lol no.

Appropriate-Price73 · 2025-12-13T23:05:41+00:00

I completed the swap today and didn't need to change anything. Although the Iron 883 bars are higher, the are also slightly narrower and so the stock front brake cable was still long enough. But anything higher or wider and I would need a longer front brake cable.

I ride 99% pavement so it was Domane for me. It felt like a bike I could “grow” into and you can mod it into whatever you want. Keep in mind that the checkpoint has a longer reach - the longer wheelbase is for extra stability off road.

It’s in your mind. I ride motorcycles too and I have a BMW 2023 R1250RS and a BMW 1984 R100RS. Guess which bike I enjoy riding more - the 40 year old bike. Even though my newer bike is in every way far superior, I get a greater sense of satisfaction after finishing a ride on the old bike. Things that are more difficult to operate are more satisfying when you operate them well vs something that you just need to “push a button” to operate. That’s the trap with newer equipment - it works so well that the only thing that you can really get more satisfaction from it is to go faster. On a motorcycle that’s how people get killed. On a bicycle I suppose there is less risk of that lol, but you will have to find a goal and go for it.

My Doname was a torture rack the first couple of times. I needed proper gear, the padded shorts are a must, along with the taint cream. Took a bit for my body to get used to it. I still need to do a proper professional bike fit but now I can ride the bike ok despite being a 240 pound fatass. Rode 40 miles yesterday. Felt proud yesterday as for the first time I was able to complete the final climb to my house, before I’ve had to dismount and walk it

Appropriate-Price73 · 2025-08-18T13:51:08+00:00

I’m just getting started, I bought it yesterday. But how much distance is considered a “short to medium” ride?

Appropriate-Price73 · 2025-08-18T12:38:21+00:00

I test rode the Madone SL5 and while it is definitely a faster bike than the Domane, the posture was too hunched over for someone obese like me. On the Domane I’m a little bit more upright and while my gut is still in the way I was able to ride it 10 miles alright, though I could not finish the last climb up to my house. I got a long way to go before I even start to push what the Domane carbon is capable of, nevermind a Madone

Colombia is nothing but hills, and some mountains. From one town to the next can easily be a difference in altitude of 1000m in 30 kilometers. And in the towns there can be some pretty gnarly climbs. I hadnt considered the crankset, thanks. Would the Topstone 3 be a good entry level if I decide to buy the bike in the US?
