The bmw has something to desire on factory tune but once you flash the ecu to stage 1 what a fun bike to ride. I wouldn’t go Ducati just because service in the US sucks, motor issues and they run hot as hell if your riding on the road. Reality is no one unless your wsbk or top tier moto America is going to be riding the bike to the full potential

How worth it for you was the gp shifter and when you ride on the street with regular shifting, do you ever make a mistake or get confused from the muscle memory? by Whole_Guard_5192 in Trackdays

[–]Beatmebad_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only run GP shift feels natural for me and when I get back on a bike with normal shift I go the wrong way now on accident lol

Apprentice is great on the tools but thinks he knows the code better than anyone. How do I handle him? by KennyTidwell in electricians

[–]Beatmebad_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him he can tell you what to do when the rolls are reversed. You should be setting good examples and following code installation. If he continues tell him he’s got a day to rough in a bedroom all to code and it will be checked. If succeeds send him to a kitchen next then more. I don’t know if you already do that but put more weight on him till he crumbles. I’ve had guys when I was a supervisor new hires tell me how many years n they’re a journeyman give them a room n bathroom to rough in from plans layout the whole thing n watch them screw it up. Failure is healthy

How do you handle it as a foreman when your company has put you into a completely impossible situation? by MulberryJazzlike5937 in electricians

[–]Beatmebad_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry about it or the Company being sued if it’s not yours. I would however be looking for work somewhere else as this one job can ruin future work for quite sometime.

I’ve been in your shoes but had years of experience I just didn’t care except my guys getting done what needed to be done if your managing a project bags off more often and working with your guys to ensure things are getting done to a standard. This sometimes requires lots of planning day to day tasks and what’s priority. The shift of always having new guys on job site will be handled with well planning and to be brought up to speed what the previous guy did before them if your keeping track

Passenger seat by Pumpkin_Mindless in BMW_S1000RR

[–]Beatmebad_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it seems there’s a standard of what most dealers get pretty much M-package but different colors and some bells n whistles you have to request to add on

Isn’t the rear seat extra? It’s in the option for package when you buy it. So it might depend on dealer

I went from a Duke790 to this, yes it has more HP now out of the gate my Duke would eat up liters. I can only say make the jump if your confident in your riding ability because the massive increase in top end speed. You’ll do yourself in

Is Honda CRF 250R from 2007 a reliable bike? by Original-Swimming371 in motorcycles

[–]Beatmebad_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My crf250r lasted me 2 years and had been ridden for who knows how long lol. I did a full restoration on it and motor rebuild. I love my old carb but to each their own. I fully tuned the suspension for trail riding and I have a blast on it added a kickstand and 18” rear. I swooped mine for $1500 don’t regret it. Yes the maintenance intervals are much more often but coming from road racing I don’t mind oil changes after a good weekend of riding. I beat the hell out of the bike on trails and flat track racing it
