** KNEE DRAGGERS UNITE ** Part VI - The sprocket stole my finger

[TwinBrah]

I also rode my friends 650 earlier this week...the power compared to my 250 is ridiculous. Next bike will be a XS650 which I'm going to build into a Cafe racer

[BuffMM]

A young couple in a Geo Tracker pulled out in front of me last night.

did they both have on wife beaters and about 5 cigarettes hanging out of their mouths?

[happylifter]

I dated a girl that did that once. Drove me crazy.

We were on a road trip, and I changed the display to km/h while she was taking a nap. She woke up and said, "where are we?" I said, "nearly there, making great time!!" And she looked over and the speedo said 128. She lost it.

LMFAO 10/10 trolling hooley approved


Went and picked the fork legs for the 400 up today now to change seals and shizz then on the bike tomorrow and service/replace everything on the old ones

Guy we brought them off had a ducati 748 oh gawd did it sound so amazing also had a sticker on the end cans that said "loud bikes save lives" even got him out of a speeding ticket

Best part was we still had like 3 hours left, so then she was all disappointed that we weren't actually nearly there and had to sit there and sulk about it for hours.

What's kind of bike you ride brother?

There is a perfect white duc 848 sitting up at the dealership where I bought my Gix, I'm seriously tempted to go look at it but know I shouldn't for fear of doing something stupid. I can imagine it now "Oh, hey babe, look at my new $11,000 ducati" which would quickly be followed by her saying "Oh look, I just bought 90 different coach purses"

Dunno. The instructions are potato and they peeps on the gixxer forum said there's a lot of splicing & soldering.



No thx Jeff lol

what section did u put it in over there? I mean you could ghetto rig it with some wire cutters and electrical tape or get a friend that has a solder gun to help.

[KawRider]

[CHOOSE]

lol @ yardio. wtf?

Choose, I feel you on the yardio, my damn lawn mower broke and I weed eated the front and back last night, that crap puts me in more pain than 500+lb deadlifts.

-Mow lawn
-Put weed and feed down
-Plant some stuff
-Pull some buckthorn
-Gotta fix the back deck, as some bunnies decided to build a nest there and destroyed part of it.
-Get rid of a hornet nest on the side of the house
-Clean the grill


Hoping to tackle some new roads up north tomorrow since I have the day off from work.

I may try and attach my poverty camera and get a vid.

[XxBlackout]

Raining for the last three days, clears up to blue sky...hhnnnnnnnnggggg. I don my one piece of peace and take the bike out, in under 15 minutes there were dark clouds everywhere and I'm getting rained on. Someone come shoot me.

Got my GoPro on the helmet today for the ride to work and ride back. Always worried it's going to come off on the freeway haha

l

or get these, just cut the wire, strip both ends, shove both wires in each end of the connector, then crimp them tight.

or these, quick splices

or you can pick a low watt soldering iron from Sears for under $20, spend about 15 minutes watching how-to videos and you will be good to go.

All done, sorry m8. Next time, though.

No GoPro either. It's called the Motocomm Ridercam 720HD.

I need some input brahs.. I don't know if I need to work on my bike or what... I have a 07 gsxr 600 and drove it for about 15 mins home and didn't even really drive it hard and the temp was up at 207 degrees. It is almost 90 degrees outside though.

Just not sure if this is normal. I want to go for a nice long ride.. about 4~ hrs and I don't want to get 1-2 hours away and it overheat and have to get it towed back home.

were you in stop and go or low speed type stuff? If so it's totally normal.

My zx6r gets pretty warm in stop and go, or just tooling around the city in 3rd-4th gear. I've seen like 220 before.

If it's 90 outside it's gonna run a little warm, but it's no big deal. Hit up a highway or country road in 6th gear at 55+ mph for a few minutes and it should cool back off.

Was it constant riding or a lot of waiting at stoplights?

All of my old riding buddies either got their chit repod or wrecked. I think I'm the only one with a paid off bike

My dad rides though, might see if he wants to cruise.

looked online "180degree neighborhood is normal operating temp, and the fan shouldn't come on till 220degrees" So 180 is when your out on the open rode moving at a good speed to cool your coolant. As soon as you stop or start to slow down the temp start to rise. Fan should kick on @ 220 I would let your bike get to 220 and see if the fan comes on it should stay steady @ 220-223 sitting still, if your bike hits like 230 you might have a problem though.

Oh alright. Don't go on a weekend lol. You'll be waiting in line for ever.

Route 2 up by sandusky is a legit road though.

You can also hop on route 105 in bowling green and take that the rest of the way, it's also pretty decent as far as flat ohio roads go.

I kind of live near their, I take that road when I visit my sister. You ride 105 this year? They ruined that road from B.G. to 199 with tar snakes, can't lean the bike at all unless you like your rear end to slide around.

I haven't yet this year.

I usually ride 65 from perrysburg to napoleon, then hop on to 424 to defiance. I live closer and my parents live out that way.

Let's ride sometime though.

This:


its not a problem with your bike. My fan doesnt come on to 218-222 I have a 2000 gsxr and they all are pretty much the same temp wise.

Awesome brahs. Yeah I ran into a few stop lights on the way home after hitting the interstate. Thanks for the replies brahs!

I ride 65 every so often, only from Waterville to Grand Rapids then turn around and ride it back. NW Ohio is the worst if you like turns.
