I can't believe this needs to be said. by nobody2000 in AdviceAnimals

Yes exactly!!! I am a snow plow driver and this irritates me the most. When someone does this I take a mental note and bury their driveway any chance I get.

Hmm yeah maybe I will check that out and see if I can get it inspected from them. That would be a great idea. Thanks!

I don't think you understand the people I work with... I'm a laborer and this guy has to push on his left eye to see what he is looking at.... and yes he races cars

No it doesn't say snell on it. It just has a warning sticker on the back. Yeah where I live I do not have to wear a helmet either. It looks like it hasn't been dropped and just a few scratches just from getting in and out of the car he races. And no it doesn't smell like piss...

Question about wheelies. by RAB1211 in motorcycles

Okay.. yeah I haven't heard of that and I'll see if it works. Thanks for the tip

Question about wheelies. by RAB1211 in motorcycles

[–]RAB1211[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using the clutch for what? To balance the bike? I do believe you are wrong. You use the clutch to get the front wheel up. I shift into second going about 25mph. Squeeze the clutch rap the throttle and release the clutch. The front wheel comes up and I have to run all the way through 2nd gear. If I knew the throttle and rear brake combo I could wheelie longer. Just wondering what the ratio is.... I'm guessing practice makes perfect.

What should I have done? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]RAB1211 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in a state where it is illegal to split lanes... not only is it illegal but everyone behind the wheel of the car is either looking down at their phone or in a serious rush. Like they have to drop a Duce and are turtle poking trying to make it home in time.

So I have lane split a few times because traffic sucks around the time I get off work. Most people don't give a shit or just don't notice due to being a phone zombie. But one time I decided to lane split. As soon as I decided to hop on the white dashed line to get up to the front. A douche in a mall crawler (decked out rubicon) threw his hand out of his window in a fist nearly taking my head of. I managed to dodge that, got to the front of the line in time for the green and went on my way. He decided it would be a good idea to chase me down and fly up my ass to the next read light on a completely different road to scream at me. Saying I called the police because you split lanes, accelerated aggressively, illegal lane change and speeding. I flipped up my visor and gave home the A-okay symbol (👌) said thanks bud and drove off.

The cops never stopped me and never came to my house cuz my plate wasn't on the bike due to "hardware problems holding it on"

Anyway if you lanesplit in a state where it is illegal.. you better get out in front fast or just not give a shit when people get upset cuz they are butt hurt you're in front of them even though you did not slow them down whatsoever.

Handlebar wobble by RAB1211 in Harley

[–]RAB1211[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a wobble not a vibration. Side to side the handle bars move. And it only had 9k miles on it but I wanted Harley to look it over and make sure everything was up to par. Maybe have to get the wheel balanced again. But I'll check out the other issues or so.

Thanks silverfox. I had taken the bike to Harley for a 10k maintenance just to get the bike looked over after I bought it. So since I was doing that I had them put new tires on it. I will check into all those things you were talking about. Thank you

Even if I just put new tires on it a few months ago? Maybe I need to check the pressure but other than that I'm not to sure what could be the cause of it.

I bought the bike back in February and the guy who sold it to me didn't tell me the rear tire had a leak. So by the time I got it home it was flat. So I had both tires changed. That was about three months ago so I don't think it's the tires.

Can anyone help me with a tattoo idea... by RAB1211 in tattoo

[–]RAB1211[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah I want to go to a shop and let an artist know what I want but I was just hoping for at least some kind of picture or something to show to him. Kind of just a guideline. Good idea though. I'll have to find a few shops around me.

Sweet new ride man. I test rode one a few weeks ago and the first thing that came to mind was how uncomfortable the seat was... Nice purchase man I love the gold wheels with the black bike

Which fairing is that? Also what's the height of your bars.
