Equipment Crew- Part IV

[urbanlifter]

Did you take a basic rider course? I took mine 20 years ago, but it was the best thing I ever did.

Had it scheduled, but had to cancel due to family issues. I plan to take it though, even though I'm feeling pretty comfortable as it is on the bike.

Congrats on the bike, UL. I don't know anything about motorcycles but it looks pretty sweet.

Thanks! Very happy with it so far, wasn't looking for anything crazy with my first bike and this seems to fit the bill perfectly. Fast enough to put a smile on your face but you don't feel like the front end is going to lift up every time you hit the throttle.

That's a great looking bike, I like the aggressive styling and color combo!

Yeah the color combo really made the decision easy, can't go wrong with black and graphite

What's up guys. This place is still a **** show with the spam.. Hope everyone is doing well.

A different kind of ride, but here's a photo of my bike, a HD Night Train softail (Hard to tell in photo but it's also a mixture of black accenting with dark graphite colored tins):

I do love a good spam musubi but yeah not about this kind. I'm doing amazing hope all is great with you.

I've been debating getting another bike. I really like some of the Indian ones....haven't had one in years. Kids are teens now so I'd think I'd have more time but sports are killing any free time I have.

Nice, I wouldn't mind a cruiser as well. I'm thinking a Tron inspired Harley Night Rod, like this....

This is basically where I was at! Kids are teenagers and I've been putting off getting a bike for 20+ years. Wanted something to commute to work and play around with on the weekends, the Ninja 650 fit the bill perfectly because it looks like a sport bike but the riding position is very comfortable for us older folks. Although I'll admit it might not be the last sport bike I own, I've always wanted a Ducati or a Yamaha R1

That night rod bike looks badass.

The seat looks comfy.

Sent out an e-mail to one of you (only e-mail I had). Not a massive score but looks like there is a set of free Schisler deep dish plates on ******** in Ohio if anyone is near by.

Not must have plates but they're cool even if they aren't US made.

Cancer or a heart attack?

[ampire]

Yeah I figure I'll just select that option, have them put the pallet at the end of my driveway and I'll just unpack it and carry it in piecemeal from there.

Received these Troy VTX Grip GO-V plates, pretty nice. The paint isn't the greatest but the casting is pretty decent and I like the look and grip. The casting, dimensions, and machining seems very consistent with the older ones I have. DumbbellBuddy was a good buying experience.

Posting this question here, rather than it's own thread, because in it's own thread it'll probably be buried in spam posts.

I'm toying with the idea of grabbing something with which to do dips. I figure I have two options. In no particular order:

1. The Titan X-3 Series Y-Dip Attachment, which I believe I can use on my X-3 Series short squat stand if I attach it to the inside.

2. The Ironmaster Bar Dip Handle for Super Bench/PRO

Anybody have any thoughts on either of these options?

I love my SuperBench, but the only reason to buy that attachment would be if you don't have space for a rack. It's not as sturdy and the arc prevents you from using a weight belt.

I can't speak as to how well the X-3 would support that though.

I don't own either option, but from what you've described not being able to do weighted dips with the arc of the SuperBench dip attachment would be a no-go for me.

Ah, the arc on the bench angle adjustment bar. I hadn't considered its possible interference with a weight belt. Yeah: That makes it a non-starter, then. Thanks for pointing that out!

I'll double-check, of course, but I'm 99-44/100% positive I read in a Q&A or FAQ section it works fine with a squat stand if you put it on the inside of the stand.

It does seem like the more sturdy of the two options, which was my other question.
