** KNEE DRAGGERS UNITE ** Part IX - Isle Of Misc

[DLM012]

I use Craftsman for sockets and mechanics tools but I could see Snap On if I was making a living wrenching. I like Klein as well for some tools.

Craftsman tools are the goat budget tools for anyone that does every day work on things around the house or as I've learned, my bike. I lol at the comments where people say "they're made in China now herp derp the quality is bad now." I haven't had a single problem with any of my sockets or torque wrenches. Of course, if you wrench for a living you better buy the best of the best and while I know nothing about tools, I'm sure there's far better out there for top dollar.

I will ride until it is around 50 in the morning. Wearing my clear shield now and sunglasses on the ride home.

I'm riding till first snow. After that the bike is gonna be put up for the rest of the year.

This was earlier this summer

It blows my mind when I see someone's rear stand on gravel with their bike lifted. I wouldn't trust it.

I love my bike but man, sometimes I miss having a fun car. Anyone else feel the same?

Never had a fun car so I can't tell you I know the feeling

Yeah. Check out the YouTube videos from SBTG

Get Spiegler lines.

I bought a civic si before I started riding and now I regret it. Wish I would have bought something cheap like a small jeep or something for winter. Car sits for sometimes weeks at a time now. At least it will have great resale value considering its got less than 10k miles and is 2+ years old.

[pyrosive]

Nice bike. Get some braided lines on it though. Best mod you can do.

Good idea, I should look into doing that. Do you think all that red with the black would be too much?

Unaware. What's wrong with lifting it on gravel? I had my dad sit it on it and steady it then I lifted up the back end

[DLM012]

I always think of gravel as having no sort of traction whatsoever so when you drop the bike back down I'd be paranoid that the kickstand would slip. Then again, I've never done it before so I probably have no clue what I'm talking about

Part of my driveway is gravel and I never had a problem. It's not like you are taking a high speed turn on it. If I were paranoid I'd just put a puck under the k1ckstand but I've never felt the need. I keep the front wheel straight when lifting the rear, but turn the bars to the left when I drop it.

Anyone else find it hard as fuk to find neutral from second gear? I always have to go down to first and then up to neutral. I've been trying every time I come to a stop for a couple weeks now and I'm only successful like 10% of the time lol

I can't think of a situation where i'd need to go to neutral from 2nd gear.
*Always in 1st Gear at Stoplights Crew*
Too paranoid that I'll have to quickly get out of the way from some jackhole who isn't going to stop in time so I want to be able to get moving as soon as possible.

**Stares in sideview mirror at approaching cars every time I'm at a stoplight crew** checking in. I've seen waaaaaay too many accidents of riders stopped at lights getting shelled from cagers not stopping in time. I'm like a coiled spring at a light.

[TTViper]

I really need some bar end mirrors for the Superhawk, for the reason listed above.

I filter up to the front a lot. Usually nobody gives a fuk, though I do keep an eye out for cops. Pulling up to red lights and seeing the driver behind you is paying attention is really the only time I can think of it being useful.

Stay to left of lane, clutch in.

I'm in CA so we can lane split but the past couple years I've noticed cars squishing the margin so as to prevent bikes from splitting at lights. Bastards.

Stay to left of lane, clutch in.

Then they become bowlers and try to make the 7-10 split!

[Galindo62]

DLM pls go, you are 20. Why does she need to meet your parents.

[Dan_Staat]

Completely off topic.

Any other brahs been soaking up the tinder sloots lately? There was talk a while back about a couple dude's in here that use it. Been a flowing stream of matches the last two weeks.

[darkninja67]

DLM pls go, you are 20. Why does she need to meet your parents.

Because he is one of those males who hasn't wisened up to what marriage really is about.


Hooked up with a 29 yo off of Tinder. Felt OK

[jcook996]

Was he cute?

[darkninja67]

Was he cute?

Yeah he was some homosexual lawyer I think

[DLM012]

DLM pls go, you are 20. Why does she need to meet your parents.

Parents' opinion is important. Not a deciding factor but important

Because he is one of those males who hasn't wisened up to what marriage really is about.

Pls aware me what I don't know. I'm not being an arsehole this is srs. Comes from a good family and legit wife material.

[darkninja67]

DLM go talk to guys who have been married and divorced. Women own you once they get that ring.

I'm assuming you mean financially correct?

[darkninja67]

I'm assuming you mean financially correct?

In all aspects.

Now I wait for a 25 yo married guy to tell me otherwise.
Just like that one dude who got divorced yet praised the virtues of marriage. lol
Men gain very little from marriage.

Inb4 bitter ninja is bitter.

[jcook996]

You mean...there are others?

Comes from a good family

What does this even mean? I don't think there is any correlation between how subjectively "good" a family is and whether or not that person is a good spouse.

Also, according to EVERY married friend I have, their wives won't allow them to buy bikes...so they own you that way too.

I have a feeling you have a story to share brah. In for answers from TTViper and a few others ITT that are married. Inb4 typical misc answers and stigma towards marriage

Also, according to EVERY married friend I have, their wives won't allow them to buy bikes...so they own you that way too.

She likes to ride and doesn't care I have a bike. Tolerant of me owning firearms too. If she wasn't she wouldn't be my gf.

[darkninja67]

Good kids come from bad families and bad kids come from good parents. Crazy kids come from crazy parents always.

Get a wife and have kids and goodbye riding.

Half the guys in this thread will not be into bikes after age 35

[jcook996]

She likes to ride and doesn't care I have a bike. Tolerant of me owning firearms too. If she wasn't she wouldn't be my gf.

Yup she doesn't care NOW. She will care when/if you have children.

I'm 33, I've seen this at least 5 separate times. I am sure your girl isn't like that though.

Buy a Ducati- preferably an 899 so I can get it from you when you have to firesale it.

[darkninja67]

Imagine the divorce rate if men didn't lose half their wealth. Oh fukin Lord

dlm age 20
Give yourself some time sonny

[DLM012]

Not bout that life cuz

[jcook996]

Not bout that life cuz

And you are positive that will never EVER change the entire time you are married to this woman (including her changing her mind)?

Tell me your secrets!!!!

I'm giving you shyt......


But get the 899, I...I mean YOU will really enjoy it.

I think if both parties could say "phuck this I'm outta here", the divorce rate would be the Hollywood divorce rate which is substantially higher than the plebe divorce rate
