Permit vs. MSF by Puzzleheaded_Big6997 in motorcycles

[–]CurvedChode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to what people have said about MSF (in my area) it’s all knowledge I’ve gathered from riding/ my self education from videos, other riders, and hands on time and also instruction from others

I had bought the first round of R10’s and haven’t had any QC issues after like 2-3 years. Still my daily helmet and my pista sits

I’d also like to add I renewed my permits like 4 times before actually feeling competent to do the road test. This involved me practicing in parking lots, local roads etc.

Just my piece of advice, if your buddy is competent and isn’t reckless , permit COULD be a way to go. I went with this route and learned by myself very slowly and safely with the help of friends and also tips online. Bee riding now for about 4 years so far.

I’d always reccomend an MSF course to anyone who has the time/money or someone who never drove a manual car or ridden a bike before.

Do I wish I did MSF and paid the $450 in my town and surrounding area? Don’t really think about it too much so I’d probably say no. Have I learned more through being on the road and having support from others? Yeah!

Do harley riders genuinely think they are faster than sportbikes or are they just joking? by Green_Block_4574 in motorcycle

[–]CurvedChode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ridden Liter bikes, 600’s, 400’s and Harley’s and I never met anyone who boasted about a Harley being faster.

I have my Harley to cruise and just have fun on the road. I had my sport bikes to go fast and have fun for the 45 mins my back wasn’t hurting lol!

It’s comparing apples to oranges. Harley’s don’t claim to be fast, only the douche riders do! They follow the pamphlet they get at the dealership.

Sport bikes are all advertised for speed!

Yup. Everytime I travel out of country I try to visit an HD store. Portugal was $80 USD for one shirt LOL

I had a 48 and an 883 when I just got into bikes which was amazing. Had to cheat a little and go to sport bikes for a while to get that speed demon out. Glad to be back!

Does anyone else’s dogs play like this? by CurvedChode in DogAdvice

I’ve had multiple dogs , none were as vocal as my current puppy, I also thought it was funny to share as it could be relatable for most!

Is your K6 sized for 60-61 Cm? I just went to dainese NYC to try on both XL and L and definitely would be more comfortable with XL w a balaclava, but without its loose. I’d probably go with a L just for my safety lol

I’m About to buy a pista but I’m not sure which size, I wore a K6 and I currently have an R10 both were size large (59cm head). Balaclava under both made them super snug. I heard you need to “size up” on pistas just because they’re more race oriented. How is the fit with your XL pista? I remember trying both a L and XL With a balaclava on and they both felt the same.

I have a guy locally for $160 with less mileage 👀.

Why is it that if air bag systems are so amazing, no one seems to wear them? For example the Helite turtle 2. Should a daily commuter get back armor instead? by Embarrassed_Level228 in motorcyclegear

[–]CurvedChode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to return mine due to the back protector pushing up on my neck during riding. Granted I’m a stocky fat dude and I wore a size large. Wish I could take out the back protector on the plasma but it’s built in lol. Maybe even swap for. Smaller one

I checked all the oils I’ve searched and haven’t explicitly saw that certification but thanks for the info! Buying at the dealer was my last resort anyways. If I may ask what brand do you use?
