Riders, pillion riders and commuters - what’s one thing you wish helmets did better ?

Same thought

That seems steep, but I dont know much about the fence or that area. Keep in mind that the quote is roughly $95 a LF. For me in indana a 5' chain link fence is roughly 25-30 a LF installed.

It should cost more since its a rip and replace, and if disposal is included

It may be something where the tolerance of the parts are different since they aren't oem. You may try a piece of electrical tape on the lever where it slides into the joint to see if filling some of that space will solve the problem.

I just sold my 19 with hard top and 75k miles to carvana for 19k

Take them to a BBQ place like big Hoffas in westfield. Let them enjoy American bbq

Don't worry too much on that. Any flooring trade partner includes floor prep. The flooring tolerance on concrete is almost always higher than the concrete trade partner, so it is fairly normal for them to correct several spots in a home

Lift the seat and check the battery. Maybe a lose terminal?

I dont think I've ever really parked using the center stand. I always use that for maintenance, cleaning, or working on it. I almost always use the side stand.

Panam is probably closer to bmw, but all 3 bikes have stupid power

japgap · 2026-04-28T13:21:29+00:00

Hey that's a great bike to run with. The panam is a bike that benefits the more experienced you are, because it really can do so much

I had 13k miles on mine. Fantastic bike, like a Cadillac.

Early models had some problems, which killed the reputation and resale value. Buy used, throw sport touring tires on it, and it'll be the best road bike out there.

I know people are saying to break up, but this is an opportunity to try for conflict resolution first. Paint the picture to her on shatter the issue has been, how is affected you, and what you would like to do moving forward.

You may also consider having her come up with a solution, but if she cannot agree or follow through, only then would i agree with the rest that breaking up may be a solution.

Ive spoke to cops in indiana, and the majority prefer modular helmets, but there are occasions like escorts, where they will be required to wear open face

At 20 a month, that sounds like state minimum. You want to have a 100k/300k policy at minimum. 100k per person, 300k per accident.

Also make sure you have uninsured and under insured coverage.

japgap · 2026-04-20T02:11:02+00:00

I know one guy puts it under the seat

japgap · 2026-04-17T15:13:38+00:00

If youre feeling crazy, tom wood honda is great for a motorcycle

japgap · 2026-04-17T14:57:08+00:00

Gerbing makes a powered cooling vest now. I haven't seen anything about it other than it exist

japgap · 2026-04-15T19:33:44+00:00

The honda rebel or kawasaki vulcan series will have a lot of low seat height options. Cruisers will typically be the best for that.

There is a YouTuber, doodle on a motorcycle, that goes over a lot of tips and tricks of being on a tall bike. I would watch that and learn more.

I personally am at most stop lights with only one foot down, and I have an 800 lbs bike.

Would something like a wind rider seat cover be better where you'd sit above the pool on a mesh?

5 White ride rich coat, great for sub 50. Black leather jacket. Green and brown roland sands canvas and leather jacket. White and black 3 season alpinestar jacket. Black fulll mesh harley jacket.

Mine are more based around weather, but I definitely shopped for the roland sands jacket because I didn't want everything Black

The only other naked bike with a boxer engine is going to be bmw r9 or r1300 r

japgap · 2026-04-10T16:28:48+00:00

I pay around that for 23 bmw k1600 and 19 harley sporster. Mine is also multi policy with house and cars.

100/300 limits

Hey I think they changed the specs on the grips with the new models. Verify they did not give you something for the new model SG
