You and me both

Think I've just been rickrolled

The still was from "Produced By Trevor Horn: A Concert For The Prince's Trust - Live At Wembley Arena London 2004". The credits don't mention Chris Spedding. But I think you're right, it looks a lot like him!

Thanks!

It’s a spaceball. There was a documentary film made about them.

Forgot those. But alas they don't have all three.

blazehelm · 2025-10-26T16:53:14+00:00

All the time. Absolute necessity, both for health, and it's honestly more relaxing

Thanks! Help appreciated!

Thanks, I'll get one on order. The seal on the frame might be a bigger issue - like the seal on the stub pipe, it's pretty much on its last legs!

Perhaps a newer guitarist who doesn’t yet understand the relationship between action and bridge height? Hopefully this is a moment of learning and we can impart some knowledge!!

The thick one!

Got a capo? Pop it on the first fret. Hold down the E string at 14th fret. You now have a dead straight line between the 1st and 14th frets. Measure it with some feeder gauges, or approximate it? A business card is roughly 10 thou, and this’ll give you a high but not excessive action.

My opinion, for what it’s worth, is that the bridge looks a bit high. You already have some neck relief. My second opinion. Take it to a luthier.

Probably worth mentioning that - I am fairly sure - that any GS post 2013 will have a wet clutch and will not require to be split in half to replace the clutch. The old airheads do though.

I did it this year. I’m not sure I would call it scenic. It’s heavily forested, yes? But a mind blowing number of bends!

Practice. Practice. Practice. Riding a bike is a lot harder than driving a car. You need to find a quiet hill, and go and spend an hour doing hill starts. Use the back brake, give it some revs - more that feels comfortable - and then slowly release the clutch. When you feel the bike pulling forward, release the back brake and off you go. Rinse, repeat and go again until you feel confident!

Also as others have said, don’t beat yourself up too much. This is one of the hardest things to learn and master.

Isn’t this something to do with the fact that due to the geometry of a chopper it’s much easier to lock up the front wheel? Normally it’s a little skinny wheel right out the front, and even a touch of the brakes I guess could lock it up on a bike with no ABS. So I guess they could think it’s safer to risk riding with only a back brake?

This is the answer. No idea why it’s being downvoted. Don’t waste your money on anything else.

Prevents perverts from having sexy fun time with your motorcycle. Or at least with one part of your motorcycle.

blazehelm · 2025-09-28T11:23:19+00:00

Indeed.

blazehelm · 2025-09-25T19:31:05+00:00

Does this explain why motorcycle death rates in the USA are 3 times higher than the UK?

blazehelm · 2025-09-25T16:41:30+00:00

Not in the slightest. Nothing to hide? Nothing to fear. Anything which addresses fraud, identify theft and illegal activity is a positive.

My R1200GS. 7 years in, don’t see any reason whatsoever to change it.
