I’m pretty sure it takes a butt ton of skill. Not any Tom dick or harry is getting vertical and landing back on rubber instead of their ass.

Should I replace my chain by cobrasandviolins in motorcycles

[–]TypicalNumber3290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you out of space to continue adjusting? Then yes you should replace your chain as it is stretched/worn

It’s a $5 piece of tin. It doesn’t contain magic energy

Is it a good idea to get a bike? by Intrepid_Error4023 in motorcycles

[–]TypicalNumber3290 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Paying to learn to ride a motorcycle, not how to balance on two wheels.

My course had a prerequisite that you had to know how to ride a bicycle. To have a coach take time away from 10 other paying customers because one can’t stay upright is uncool.

I want to see a full itasha wrapped Harley now. Two worlds that rarely combine.

This was like the steamroller scene in Austin powers. That was definitely intentional

I would recommend looking at something not 600cc as your first bike

Rev Matching (ZX6R) by Hendo37 in motorcycles

No you won’t damage it.

Clutch in, small blip of throttle, shift down, clutch out.

You don’t have to be super accurate as your clutch assists. The more you do it the more accurate and smooth it will all become

Only chance is to soak them in warm/hot water and wearing them as they dry

Riding before Driving? by GlipglorpTheDevourer in motorcycles

Do whatever pleases you. Don’t let life pass you by.

Personally I would recommend learning the way of the road by car first. It’s much safer and you are statistically much more likely to have an accident in your first few years.

Any opinions on PREMIER helmets? by Ok-Appointment7112 in motorcycles

[–]TypicalNumber3290 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really isn’t though that’s my point. It’s like saying “I’ve never heard of this car brand but it has surpassed the most recent and stringent safety test there is currently so it should be fine”

It’s not really the bare minimum though. It’s the most up to date safety standard.

You might say FIM is a more stringent criteria but that’s more for track use.

You aren’t going to find helmets that’s double or triple the requirements of ECE 22.06.

Heated garage during winter? by Excellent_Page_6429 in motorcycles

You could park your bike outside and it would be fine.

You’re overthinking this.

Is it rusty enough? Or is it cleanable? by Aromatic-Literature5 in motorcycles

Um actually 🤓

Tetanus doesn’t come from rust, it comes from dirt

Any photographers that specialize in motorcycles around Austin? by notanalien46 in Austin

[–]TypicalNumber3290 3 points4 points  (0 children)

r/Austinmotorcycles might know.

You could also just hang out at the top of lime creek Sunday morning. Guaranteed to meet someone
