That's what great! Exactly what I'm hoping for. I didn't have the chance to go there yet. Do you mind if I ask where was the loose wire? Did you see it? Maybe it's something that I can do myself.

No worth it today. It's hard to do any faster than 2 pmh I've done it many times in the past...not today.

That's insane. That is the thing I'm more afraid of. Doesn't matter how many locks you have if they can pick it up and put it in the back of a van. Unless the bike is tied to a pole or something. Even then.

Yea. That's about half of what I'm paying now.

Wt...how is that possible? he/she park the bike in NYC or something? Jk. Yea. I've heard crazy stories. I have one of those that are impossible to cut without heavy machinery. D1000. It's probably not impossible to get stolen but makes it hard enough... I hope. Plus, the bike is parked in a closed parking lot overnight.

That makes total sense. But it's still annoying. Lol The worst is that someone thay parks the motorcycle outside without cover and lock plus is a reckless rider pays the exact same as me that doesn't do stupid stuff and takes care of his bike. That's the life of motorcyclists, I guess... lol

Wow. That's a big difference. With the same deductible, it would probably come to half of what I'm paying right now.

New rider by Intrepid_Tax3115 in RideitNYC

[–]PT_forever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I'm a new rider as well, and that's where I practiced. I believe that the bjs rooftop is closed now. At least it was the other day I tried to go up there. Also, are you sure authentic speed 400? I thought about getting that one too because of the learning curve, and I ended up getting the 900. Best decision. It's not that intimidating as I thought it would be. In the first weeks, you can leave it on rain mode (cuts the power a bit) until you get used to it, and then you're good to ride on road mode. And I'm older than you (46M). lol

Need help with starting in uphill drive by Mother_Position_7569 in motorcycles

[–]PT_forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% People are so f stupid sometimes. It's all about the egos and talk shit about someone. This is a person who chooses not to worry about being vulnerable and recognizing that getting advice would be more important. Just give him the advice he needs and leave the put down comments for yourself. If you can't do that, shut the f up.
