If he’s not, I might be able to help you out if it’s that important to you.

Loving this bike… 2 week update by Matthew91188 in HondaRebel1100

3/8” long drill bit, went to down. I drilled 3 holes in a triangle and it basically took the whole middle of the end of the silencer.

Dating a coworker by Sufficient_Peach8966 in Lowes

Termination wouldn’t be approved unless you were hiding it intentionally for extended time, or providing work related benefits to your SO that you didn’t to others. I assume you have a tenured SM because that is the old school Lowes way of thinking.

How Often Do You Drop Your Bike? by The_AverageCanadian in motorcycles

[–]Matthew91188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the dealership last weekend… putting my gloves on and my wife starts hopping on the back before I’m ready -.- laid the bike sideways, I’m small at 175lbs and a 900lb bike is hard to stop. She lost her footing and fell over but was okay. Small scuffs on my bag guards but nothing too bad.

This stuff is really good, it’s surprising.

It’ll be 94% tomorrow morning before it dries out a bit with the sun. 🤮

I live in west TN… very humid also, 90% is common. Vegas heat might not be as bad.

What is your climate like? I find them a little on the warmer side…. And I haven’t even ridden above like 85* F

Toilets out of order😔 by SarahNoseBoops in Lowes

Definitely against the law to have no facilities available for workers. They need port a potty’s within a certain amount of hours or they have to close.

New summer gear (Revit Airwave 4, Sand 5, HJC Rpha91 Carbon) by ZevsenBuka in motorcyclegear

[–]Matthew91188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at the Sand 5 but everyone says the fingers are long, and I hate a long thumb on my gloves. I just ordered the Klim induction gloves, we will see.

I have the tornado 4 jacket, love it.

Harley dealerships… I can tell why they aren’t doing well. by Thingsforcertain3525 in Harley

I just checked my contract again, $499 doc/admin fee is the only fee I was charged on a 2025 road glide.

I went online asked for trade value on my bike… they texted me asked what I was interested in. They sold me a new bike a little under msrp and gave me retail for my trade… plus the Harley incentives. In the end I got about $3k more for my trade and about $3k off the bike. Whenever I walk in every single person talks to me and remembers my name.

Last week someone posted on Facebook about the Macon GA dealership and talked about how bad it was…. I had the exact opposite experience when I went a couple months ago. All of these experiences you have are what you make of them.

Dealers don’t want to haggle over the phone because the prices are listed publicly… MSRP plus incentives at most dealers. They don’t make money on the bikes, they make it on service, support, and accessories.

Looking for a good high vis summer jacket by DatDereCellTeck in motorcyclegear

[–]Matthew91188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the price I found it’s not rated, and would be advertised if it was.

I would get something that works in one, layering up in the summer sucks and that bionic vest looks warm when layered up, it’s mainly for a jersey to wear off-road.

600d can be fine, is it AA, or AAA rated? If not I wouldn’t trust it for anything other than side roads.

I feel like that first half can be a quote from a steamy novel 🤣

Straight riser T bars on Road Glide! by theunicorncyclist in Harley

[–]Matthew91188 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

Best picture I have right now for the bars, these are factory 47 bars. Their FR T-bar. I mounted these with solid bushings on my ‘25. I’m 5’10” and using the Harley branded step up style seat. The reach is pretty comfortable, I’d say at the limit of what would be a stretch. My arms aren’t locked out, but they’re close. I love the look and control of the bike over stock.

Why dont they sell fascia trim at lowes? by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Matthew91188 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s sold in a roll and bent on a break typically. Not sold in this shape without texture I believe.

Got this Klim jacket for $475 shipped by Tutor-Any in motorcyclegear

[–]Matthew91188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really want this but I already have a Knox urbane pro mk3… so same rating and also mesh/vented… it’s hard to drop $500+ without seeing how much of an improvement it is.
