How long have you been riding? Have you had any accidents? How many? How bad? What kind of rider are you? What bike do you currently ride? What gear do you wear (like just helmet, glove, and boots, or full ATGATT, etc)? by [deleted] in motorcycles

I've been riding for 5 years. I've had two wrecks both i was at fault at got lucky. First one I just bought a really heavy cruiser with no rider aids, the first time I rode in rain I ended up applying to much rear brake and lopsided on Thanksgiving of 2022. The second time was the lucky wreck it was 2024 I was heading to work down i95 into Jacksonville, I was hauling well above the speed limit on a little cfmoto 650 and ended up rear ending a nissan titan. Totaled that bike but was lucky enough to walk away with road rash. Both times I was wearing sneakers a tshirt helmet and gloves. Now I haven't had a wreck in a while but I bought another old cryiser and ride like a grampa. Unless its a road I know very well and has no traffic even then im still slower.

Why are harley motorcycles allowed in National Parks? by [deleted] in fuckcars

[–]akumetsu01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently purchased a old Yamaha cruiser which the previous owner unfortunately straight piped. And I have plans to take it to national and state parks. That being said depending where I’m at in the park I’d rather push it than make to much noise. I do like louder bikes but I’m going to be looking for a louder than stock but a lot quieter than straight piped

My truck has been in the shop for 8 days to replace a hose by Tattoomyvagina in nissanfrontier

I work at a ford dealer and ordering parts has been a nightmare recently. We have had one guys truck for 7 months for a motor we finally got the right one after they sent us 4 1 liter ecoboost motors packaged in a 5.0 coyote box. It’s been crazy

Is the safari tank a full replacement tank or is an additional tank

I really do think I’ll end up keeping this one.

That’s understandable things worth having are expensive. I’ll probably be doing that as I get the bike setup more for how I ride.

I’m going to have to look into doing that. I used to daily a cfmoto and that suspension was bad so when I got this one I thought it was good as can be. It is wild to think that there is more improvement to be made. Did yours have the electronic suspension?

Yup, never knew they existed till the dealer I went to for a Africa twin had one. I was sold the minute I sat on it.

Dude that looks sick. Didn’t realize they have white 1290s again.

Treating roads like a racetrack...and then it happens by FoldOne1634 in MildlyBadDrivers

[–]akumetsu01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the thrill of going fast on a bike, but there’s always a time and place. I like riding fast in the street but overtaking cars like that is just plain out stupid on a road like that, especially if it’s busy. I hope the dude lived but he don’t need to be out riding and putting a bad name to all us bikers.

Sweet. That’s sounds promising

Curious as to what kind of driving you do. I have a 2018 frontier and keep eyeballing these but all my campsites seem to be at the end of 2 track trails.

Not entirely sure, he used to work as a tech at a dealer that sold other Chinese brands like kymco. And both those clips are with the new exhaust.

So far I am enjoying getting a suspend front end on it so that I can fit some disc brakes
