A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
Well-reasoned and responsible. I totally get the unwanted attention thing. Not the part about the distasteful direction, no that’s hardly ever an issue 🤣. I mean the part about talking motorcycles when you really just want to get on with your errands. Oh yeah? You had an R60? That’s great. All...
I'd bet 50% of the members here have a slightly very limited hardly used like new OEM saddle. If you come to my house with a 6 pack of Rogue Honey Kolsh, you can have mine.
I'll buy the boards retail and then that very day someone will start a thread titled "take my floorboards, I'll pay shipping" and they'll be gone in like 3 seconds. Oh well.
A bit of a thought exercise
Three gallon tank. Fill up with 93 with the assumption that the prior customer used 87. So 2.5 @93 and 0.5 @87. Effective octane is 92. This is, by the way, the highest octane you can absolutely count on. But I digress. Run it to almost empty, say half a gallon. now...
Whoa, wanna work out a trade? It's more than just the boards vs pegs. I feel like there are additional bits. Happy to trade and add a little money to the deal too.
I asked a guy I know who used to work for Arlen Ness. The question was "Are you aware of any regulations or laws that stipulate how long a motorcycle manufacturer needs to have spare parts for a given bike they sell/sold?" He called just now and told me that he looked in the Code of Federal...
Does he also own a paint shop? 😂
Kidding aside. I don’t think that that’s either legal or good business and would be very surprised if it’s true.
As an another aside, a few summers back, I had to replace the front fairing on my Ducati after colliding with a turkey. I sourced one from Ducati...
Welcome Rhodri! Rumor around the forum is that the exhaust note seems to deepen after several thousand miles. The fishtails themselves will remain contentious.
/I like em
Amazing deal on a super well-made product. The vinyl matches the OEM. Even the stitching matches. You're not getting that in other similar products. If you're on the fence, grab this one because I'm asking $400 for mine.
/take care Adan.
Agreed. Classes are terrific. I had been riding for 4 or 5 years then took a class with my girlfriend (eventually Mrs. Todkavonic) because she was looking to buy a bike. It was super helpful and worth the time and expense.
You can still do whatever you please to/with the bike. There are YouTube videos aplenty that go into detail with torque specifications, etc. Granted, it’s not all there for you in a convenient manual, but it’s discoverable should you look. And yes, this is clearly intentional and is being done...
Those looking at the R18 as a first motorcycle got me thinking about my first bike and the events surrounding that purchase. It’s not pretty. The older, wiser version of me thinks I was a complete jackass.
Ok
It was 1998. The bike was a 1996 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 XLC. Black. I found...
