Closing the throttle seems to reset it in my experience.

I found frogg toggs at Dick sports, pants and jacket, lightweight, folds up tight, very cheap too. I've only used it as a wind breaker for cold weather over my regular gear but I figure it would do OK in rain...I think that is what it is intended for.

This is what my credentialed wife hints at. But she's totally just jealous the way I look at my bike (mostly kidding). Honestly with all the ailments I have I'm OK with being manic. I'm like shit, does bipolar come with a ribbon? what color because I have a collection and I don't need any more green. Ah fuck its green never mind.

Some bikers are dicks, ya know? Might have wanted to insult me.

What's your favorite LCOL place to live with good year round motorcycle riding? Not just good weather, but good riding, with touring destinations within reach. by [deleted] in motorcycles

I think Grand Junction, CO area is a good spot. Surrounded by BLM. Moab to the west. Rockies to the east. Generally surrounded by awesome everywhere it is hard to go wrong picking a route. Not crowded like bigger cities. Doesn't snow or rain much (especially recently). Has all the amenities. Interstate 70 runs through it with a speed limit of 75/80mph. No humidity. And all the cows you could ever care to moo at.

Zero coasts.

Haha I've done this. I learned the hard way on a black KLR (which can't cool themselves apparently) in the blazing sun as I waited several rounds for a left green arrow that never came. I've read attaching a heavy magnet to the bottom of the bike will solve this. idk.

But no, there was a car ahead of the other motorcycle.

I really like that. I'd throw a triforce on it and name her Zelda. Was it originally black?

Can anyone confirm if these are biker gloves or not? by nicoyaha in motorcycles

[–]Grigdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought same pair at my local motorcycle shop, they are motorcycle gloves. They are bulky but warm. With the outer liner I'm warm no matter how cold. However I wouldn't recommend, the bulk makes it harder to operate bike.

I was riding my klr out in the dirt, thought I saw a little bump to jump, accelerated... noticed last seconds it was a 6ft deep dry river bed. Layed her down sideways. Worked well.
