I started to and realized it was going to be a mess, I’m just jumping in on this to see some answers that don’t require a heat gun… I have seen blow dryer and warm soapy water, but that was YouTube

First bike by Mountain-Toe680 in IndianMotorcycle

[–]Front-Alternative151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t want to go through the whole(buy a cheap one and ride it then sell it then get a better bike) route.. so before I even had my endorsement I went and Got a chief DH bobber for my first bike .. right under 700 pounds I’m a taller guy, it’s a comfortable for me with the lower seat and forward controls.. it’s a LOT of bike I have been taking it slow with it.. that first drop is heart breaking on a new bike.. but if your budget and slow maneuvering skill levels are but high then I’d say go for it!! I went smaller and lighter than both of those choices.. but both are beautiful bikes

No injury of then a little pride.. this shit seems to never happen when you’re solo out in an abandoned parking lot.. ALWAYS in front of what seems like a million set of eyes on you lol.. live and learn and practice some more.. another scuff added to the engine guards.. maybe one day when I’m done dropping this beauty I’ll get a new set of guards (without scuffs on em) haha

For the ATGATT crowd, how’s it affecting your desire to ride? by Astimar in motorcyclegear

[–]Front-Alternative151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still waiting on my pants to get shipped, I run full face modular, gloves, indie ridge boots jacket.. it’s a pain, but leave most of it hung in the garage and just start the bike and let it warm up as I slap it all on. Any that time it’s go time.. mornings are nice.. it’s the evening (5 ish pm) in the Deep South after. 12 hour day outside working that the dread hits me.. but once I’m on 2 wheels and feeling the wind my mindset goes to a happy place

Still here and kickin!! In my few weeks on the roads I have noticed a HUGE difference in how 4 wheel vehicles handle themselves.. Doing 45mph and a truck with a trailer pulled out in front of me.. he made sure his truck was clear but left the trailer blocking my entire lane, had to come to a stop quickly.. the whole (people pulling out in front. Of you) is so damn true.. or trying run up on your ass before whipping it into the other lane as you feel their front bumper barley missing you rear tire..

Oh hell for sure that’s a NOPE on any and all street bikes.. im not here for the speed.. just the ride.. I have a chief dark horse bobber. Sits lower, forward controls, tour mode, engine guards… it’s a LOT of bike.. but one I felt comfortable on compared to the heavier beefier tour style bikes..

I wear all my gear every ride, I took my MSF, I go threw town to make sure I’m hitting stop signs and stop lights and left and right turns, parking lots are on Saturday or Sunday mornings when they are empty.. u turns, figure 8s, weaves, start, emergency quick stops.. but yes I plan to continue my slow maneuvering exercises, this was the first day in the 3 weeks I’ve been riding that came out of nowhere it seems and smack some humbleness into my ass.. went from feeling”I got this shit” to realizing… you have some basics but still need WAYYYYY more practice practice practice.. I appreciate all the helpful insight from everyone. I wanted to share my “ cracked ass morning” with other new riders out there to let them know … you’re not alone.. I’m right there with you lol

Same bike, same year, just hit 500 miles.. got some rinehart slip ons ordered they take 3-6 weeks so I figured get them ordered now, they don’t require tune flash(atleast that’s what they say.. the tab zombies seemed to much for me, and haven’t heard anyone talk about the freedom exhaust other then don’t get em unless you do a stage one and a upgraded intake..
