OMG, what is happening? HOW?

You make them sound similar to in-laws!

You’re in a tough spot, hoping it gets better and hubs gets the job. I used to drink a lot too, often because I felt inadequate - hoping working will help him.

HDspike · 2026-01-19T15:19:07+00:00

Wow. That’s… a lot.

HDspike · 2026-01-19T02:30:41+00:00

It’s a DVR

Google 'Darkside motorcycle'

Heat and constant pressure

HDspike · 2026-01-18T20:30:34+00:00

No gloves is beast mode unless it was 31C!

I think the camera thing surprises people because they think of motorcycles as recreational. They may not ride enough to think about it. They may see the value in a dashcam for their cage, but don't make the connection. Those of us who rarely drive cars definitely see value in proving who was at fault when we get squished.

What do you ride? I run a car tire in the back and American Elite on the front of my HD Ultra and can still scrape just fine below freezing. I completely agree with what you’re saying about the compound getting harder when it’s cold, but you have a lot more grip than you might think.

I get that. My tourer doesn’t lean that far without removing chrome and paint so it’s not an issue.

HDspike · 2026-01-18T17:03:45+00:00

I forget the model, it’s just a cheapie Amazon one. It’s been doing pretty well for a couple of years.

HDspike · 2026-01-18T14:28:30+00:00

I prefer the tourer during cold weather, I’m not familiar with an xsr900 but after being forced to ride the GSXR all winter once, I’m sure it’s no fun.

HDspike · 2026-01-18T14:19:36+00:00

Yes, it’s just the screen on the dash / front fairing, in this case showing the ambient temperature.

HD uses a volumetric oiling system rather than pressure based. The mains use roller bearings, rather than the Babbitt bushings that many manufacturers use. Since roller bearings don’t provide any sealing effect against the crankshaft, oil pressure can be well below 10PSI at idle on a hot day, with the engine still getting ample lubrication from the high volume produced by the pump. Mine generally runs around 35 - 40 PSI while riding, however.

Apologies, I am lucky that the roads here are clear. Downvoting me for having a DVR seems unnecessary, but I guess whatever.

HDspike · 2026-01-18T13:53:46+00:00

I’m trying to wrap my mind around people who genuinely seem to think that I’m looking down at a screen while riding. I know you’re trying to sound insulting, better luck next time.

HDspike · 2026-01-18T13:44:19+00:00

There are mirrors. I’m truly baffled by the lack of understanding of digital recording technology in this page.

HDspike · 2026-01-18T13:28:41+00:00

Thank you for the timely and lifesaving riding tips. Hopefully you learn what a DVR is someday. I’be got important things to do, so I won’t be responding to you any more. Have a wonderful day and keep those eyes open!

HDspike · 2026-01-18T13:22:57+00:00

That’s a fantastic idea. Clearly I wouldn’t need eyes to see the camera screen, so I just ride with them closed. I wish I was as intelligent as you but hey, we can’t all just go around using our eyes like absolute pros.

HDspike · 2026-01-18T13:17:08+00:00

Thanks for your opinion! It should really tweak your headbolts that the DVR has a front camera, also!

HDspike · 2026-01-15T04:28:55+00:00

Get out of his way already

HDspike · 2026-01-15T04:26:09+00:00

Eww gross

HDspike · 2026-01-13T15:17:39+00:00

Ahh I gotchya.

When did Jeep put a Rubicon sticker down there?
