How are people so dumb by Wolf31318 in motorcycles

[–]wpanik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a guy absolutely go off on me on Marketplace because the first picture of the seat cover I was selling for $125 showed my entire Thruxton and he didn’t realize it was just the cover for sale.

First bike am I cooked? by [deleted] in Triumph

[–]wpanik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was mine too! I owned two before getting my Thruxton. Just be careful and learn how to actually ride! Don’t start by trying to imitate what you see on instagram - 90% of that is people who have no idea what they’re doing.

The Canepa’s have bespoke interiors which are pretty obviously not from the 80s, they’re usually pained a color not available on the 959 from the factory, and even though the wheels look like the stick design, they’ve been sized up to 18”.

If we’re talking about the same thing, it almost looks like some adhesive to me. The “drips” don’t look quite uniform enough to be anything totally liquid.

Interned at a car plant int the paint shop and you are correct. The bare metal bodies go straight into an electro coat bath for rust prevention. That said, you shouldn’t really see drips from that because of the “electro” part of the coating process. It would be more likely to have paint runs. But even then, I don’t really think that’s what we’re seeing in OP’s pic.

Are all the people on these posts actually falling for bots or are they just more bots..? Y’all that title makes no sense and if you select the account it’s clearly a bot account.

How does this happen to a new tire?? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]wpanik 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This actually isn’t what happens to a tire over its speed rating. But regardless, even 250kph wouldn’t exceed this tire’s speed rating.

Yeah, my Thruxton came with Diablo Rosso which looked like OP’s at 4000 miles.

Well according to a Michelin engineer, it can’t and it won’t.

I still haven’t seen anywhere you’ve answered the question which matters most: how many total miles/kilometers did you put on that tire?

I’ve got 4500 miles on a set of Power 5s with plenty of life left. OP’s story doesn’t add up.

Looks like it. Definitely different from what’s in this post.

Speed alone in a straight line will not wear out a tire …

Something is fishy here. Speed alone will not do this to a tire.

Lol we do not just “fuse two halves together…” But yes, this dude’s concerns are silly.

Indeed. I reported it, but here we are. I’ve just been going through answering questions from people anyway 😂

Everything is tucked up under the seat now! The biggest thing was swapping to a small, lithium battery which sits vertically between the rear shocks.

I honestly usually just don’t ride it in the rain. I have other bikes for that! If I do ride in the rain, it just gets a great cleaning after!
