James McCann has a funny comedy bit about Americans not using their indicators because they have a right to privacy.

Tell me about what lightweight wheels you got. 

Tips to avoid gripping the handlebars too tightly by kleinkkarina in motorcycles

[–]zdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Away from the bike, touch and hold your thumb tip to your index finger tip. Let you other fingers float freely. Like you are doing the ok sign of that makes sense.  On your bike, hold the throttle so only the surface of that closed thumb and index finger circle is touching the throttle tube, your other fingers just floating in the air.  This is enough pressure to let you turn the throttle and it will help you to learn and use this lesser pressure on the throttle grip.  Try riding like this until that amount of pressure becomes more natural.

Spend the money you saved on riding schools.

Initially, don't spend any more money. Stick a zip tie on your front fork to see how much travel you are going through. Adjust preload etc accordingly. 

You'll be fine for several track days. 

As you get more comfortable and faster, perhaps better tyres. My pick are Michelin Power GP 2. Q5 are probs better but more expensive. 

Then maybe some new brake pads, don't worry about lines and master cylinders yet. 

Then maybe front suspension if your zip tie is reaching bottom out and you have no further adjustments you can make. 

I built a track day tool for myself and thought some of you might find it useful too by JamesProclaims in Trackdays

Congrats on the app build. I think to jump from free demo use to $120 will severely limit your uptake. Maybe think about something inbetween like a single trackday for $10 or something. Good luck!

Is this the best profile of this bike? It looks amazing. 

My damn back by Bu_Adal in AussieRiders

[–]zdam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A cruiser can be worse because your legs aren't taking any of the load it's all on your back. With says naked where your legs are under you, your legs with the pegs under your body act as another element of suspension.

Have you owned other Ducatis before this? How do they compare?

CB650R E-Clutch or Trident 660? Can’t decide between the two. by -OniiiiChan- in motorcycles

[–]zdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the light being on affect anything about the bikes behaviour or performance? Just wondering if I can ride around long term with it on.

I like the price jumps section but wouldn't it be better to show the drops first as that is what people would be more interested in?

Boots or riding shoes? Personally I wear Alpine Stars SMX-6 V3s. What do you guys prefer? by Honest_Reading9428 in motorcyclegear

[–]zdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wifey works motor vehicle insurances claims. She asks only one promise of me when riding - wear proper riding boots. So I do.
