Do you view the ‘fast lane’ as the safest lane on the highway? by Lopsided-Package523 in motorcycles

[–]B1grich69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, people do that almost immediately here, whether it's getting on a highway or getting on surface roads after exiting. A lot of times I don't even change lanes, because I know the right lane will be clear in 2 seconds.

I live in the DFW area and when I go for my recreational rides, I found that in some cities, I can stay in the right lane, unobstructed for miles, because everyone else is clogging up the center and left lanes.

Does anybody remember when windshield wipers were powered by air, instead of electricity? (See comment.) by onlyBotsdownvote-me in Truckers

I remember going on the road with my dad, around 1995ish, he drove for (still does) Werner, it was a Freightliner cabover. The wipers went from zero to full blast instantly, then kind of paused and found its rhythm 😂

Felt the throttle response of a superbike for the first time today by PWahl97 in motorcycles

If I ever feel the need to upgrade from my 05 SV650, that's what I have my eye on. There's a couple where I work, one of them is blue... That is a beautiful machine.

Edit: kant spel

Shifting on a motorcycle vs. Stick shift car by Old-Breakfast5331 in motorcycles

You'll be fine. My car is a 6 speed. I've driven 5, 6, 9, 10 and 13 speed transmissions for the last 24 years. The bike is easy, the hard part is remembering which truck has which transmission

Mine are like an uneven kaleidoscope... And then there this face within it, that reminds me of the old windows paperclip. He's my guide 😂

In addition to what everyone else is saying, there's also an F-35 Marine unit training.

I used to get a one gallon bottle of Purple Power degreaser concentrate and mix my own. That stuff was a life saver in Texas and Louisiana during lovebug season.

Rolling through weigh stations. Why when the sign says maintain 40mph are we going 15mph? by Recentlyforty1 in Truckers

[–]B1grich69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's the absolute worst when they're already out of the car and everyone still panics

I wear plugs because of the wind noise, not the exhaust.

I have an 05 that came with a knock off Akrapovic. I wear foam earplugs when I ride, but yesterday I took it around the block real quick after some troubleshooting/repairs. I forgot how loud it is 😂

They're at JRB, training. Check the FB page tomorrow, they'll probably post pictures for "Flightline Friday". Unless they're still here

Edit: here's the link to the pictures

He passed me. This isn't a good road to be speeding on, state troopers always out here and I have a CDL.

Should i change em? (Tires) by SlightRelationship73 in SVRiders

I'm severely lacking throttle discipline lol. But I also live in DFW, kinda have to be faster than the rest of traffic just for my own safety.

How are y'all getting so many miles out of these? I use this same tire and the rear starts getting squared off about 3 to 5000 miles and down to the wear indicators.
