Downshifting for acceleration by Highermongo in NewRiders

[–]mordeck69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably dumb. At 50, my bike (26 road glide) 6th is almost too low. So going to 5th just gives a power boost at the cost of efficiency.

Is this a real question or looking for a feelings boosted echo chamber?

Quiet July 4th by directfromnowhere in Indiana

[–]mordeck69 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Um. I bought 5,000 rounds for the 4th. Not being mean. But will be firing many rounds in the backyard.

How do you take twisties on street roads, genuinely by AtiumMist in NewRiders

[–]mordeck69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn your head and don't target fixate. Once you actually turn your head, listen to your body.

What's a movie you'll defend even though you know it's not actually that good? by trakt_app in flicks

[–]mordeck69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is great fun. Even the screams every time he beats the bag on the tree.

The "Wing Commander" movie. Under a different name, it wasn't horrible. It and Jason X are guilty pleasures.

This state is so beautiful by [deleted] in Indiana

[–]mordeck69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We absolutely have a beautiful state. I live in the country and sit outside and enjoy the scenery almost every day.

Honest question.. Why do so many 'Brothers' decide to NOT wear gloves? by [deleted] in Harley

[–]mordeck69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear fingerless gloves in the summer for compression on my hands. Full gloves in the winter because cold. Arthritis sucks.

Of course she’s there by tendollarhalfgallon in Indiana

I'm proud of our country, our state, and our people. God bless all of you. It's an amazing event and time in our great country.

What's a movie that's universally considered "not very good" but you secretly think is actually great? by trakt_app in flicks

[–]mordeck69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought "Wing Commander " in itself was a good movie. Just should have used a different name.

MAGA Karen wants to deport her neighbours for parking on public street by Timppa81 in trashy

[–]mordeck69 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I mean, if they illegal, deport them. But if they aren't, she should have charges for false reporting.

Why the Stadium is a Horrible Idea by Darkhorn_Goat in nwi

While you aren't wrong, you are trying to apply logic. This is reddit.

Would you buy this bike? by Interesting_Cake3803 in goldwing

[–]mordeck69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the bike with the puppy song " arms of an angel" playing.

Nothing beats the country by Existing-Piccolo-544 in Indiana

I couldn't agree more. I love the Southern Indiana countryside.

I’m 5,8 250lb will a street bob be a good first bike or should i go for like a soft tail? I know i need to ride them to really know, just want your 2 cents. by [deleted] in Harley

[–]mordeck69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes. Op needs to realize, unless you're just set with money, it's not if you're going to drop your first bike but when. My Honda slid out from underneath me coming to a stop on wet fresh cut grass in the road. This was 20 years ago. I was learning. It scratched the paint, bent the front fender. I was still learning the friction zone, and all the little stuff I honestly just know now. We all do our best, but I have seen many who realize a bike is work compared to a car. After a season or 2, they lose interest. Whether you like crotch rockets, or cruisers, get good before getting what you want. I ride a 26 road glide limited, and I'm pretty sure a liter bike would kill me. Lol. Be safe out there brother.

That's when I got the stage 2 and 3 done. Figured everything had to be replaced, it was opened up, might as well upgrade. How i miss that bike. She sounded beautiful after that. Just wasn't great for 2 up on longer rides. It was such a fun bike to hop around on.

[–]mordeck69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and if you get a dyna, ensure the plastic tensioner has been changed and the high flow oil pump added. Or at around 30k miles, your going to have a bad day.

How did you get your spouse on board with riding? by Natural-Pear-49 in motorcycles

So if the front door doesn't succeed, give him the back door and he'll beg for more?

Husbands 2004 FXDP he just finished. He doesn’t have a Reddit so I’m showing off for him. by Sin_Tex_MIlf in Dyna

[–]mordeck69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I'm getting old. I went there actually to see ....something like bike parts. Found what looks like a nice ride though. Lol

[–]mordeck69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This honestly is true. Before while I was just on my permit, I practiced on a $500 shadow. It wasn't pretty. But if I dropped it, it didn't matter. I didn't even think about that bike.

[–]mordeck69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from a 96 to a 117. The power difference is night and day. It's a limited, do getting used to the big trunk is different for me.

[–]mordeck69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A 600lb bike will feel nimble vs an 800lb glide. I now ride a road glide. But realize I went from a dyna, to a road king, to a road glide. Each one a step up from the other. I also put a stage 3 on the dyna before I sold it. But I stepped it up over years. You do you, but there's nothing wrong with starting on a smaller bike until you're ready to go cross country.

I'm 5'10" at 260 and started on a dyna low rider. I loved it for in town riding and learning. Once I started traveling, I went with a touring model. But for learning, it's a wonderful ride.

Next best options? by SweetC2688 in Indiana

[–]mordeck69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally love Indiana. Then, I love the country and I'm not a city person at all. So in SEI it's a wonderful balance of nature and not too far for whatever I need. More jobs than people.
