** KNEE DRAGGERS UNITE ** Part VIII - I'm Stumped

[occy27]

Dunno if scraping two up is a good idea.
I'm still trying to figure out my positioning on the hyper after over 1,000kms.

[TTViper]

I've taken the wife out on it a few times, definitely gotta be carefull with the front wheel lifting easily. The bike rides beautifully 2up, but I hardly get aggressive while 2up

grey or red?

[CHOOSE]

grey or red?

Black

But out of your choices, grey.

[TTViper]

Red!

[yourname2221]

Meant to say JBC. My MSR rep never told me about the 30 day pass. I HAVE to pay someone to bring it down because I have no transportation, the bike is like 2 hours away. I'd much rather have miles on the bike and freedom than be bumming rides.

BTW there is 1 DBA that decides to park his run down POS bike sideways taking up the last 2 motorcycle parking spots. Should I just valet it into the parking spot correctly for him?

(What's your AFSC and base?)

Yes on the parking spot, I hate when someone does that since we only have like 2 spots for the bikes and some days we have 5+ bikes out.

grey or red?

Red... but I have the all black with the Dainese Super Speed and it looks slick as rick. Get loads of compliments on it.

Once you go black... you always go back?

[darkninja67]

Black gets too hot.

Black gets too hot.

And red is obviously more visible to cagers.

Cagers like bull, they seek the red.

Well picked the bike up last night, everything looks great. Runs great. Only thing thats weird... is check out this tire wear...
Does that look weird to anybody besides being balled as ****? The front is significantly more worn.

Your rear looks like a front. That's pretty weird.

Such good looking bikes. Just wish they performed better.

[occy27]

i thought the f3s were really good?
doing alright in wss
not a fan of MVs though they just seem poorly finished in person

[darkninja67]

indeed they are. The F4 does alright but doesn't have the power of the 10R or S1000RR, still sexy as fuk to look at.

It's actually been a while since I've looked into it. I remember when the F3 came out they were fairly chit. The chassis was had good feel, but the fueling was rubbish and the rest of the electronic package was subpar too. Simple things to fix I guess, so they could have come a long way.

I think I've only ever seen a Brutale in person.

How did it look in person?

Guys who bought Italian motorcycles: did the dealer have any wiggle room concerning price? Or did you pay full MSRP?

[Geoloop]

Bimota

bimotard

[darkninja67]

2014 Aprilia Tuono V4R, would want and actually reasonably priced. Definitely reminds me of the S1000R, and better looking to boot



nice to see a manufacturer using braided lines from the factory.

Anyone know how good the Aprilia ABS/TC systems are??

[MotorcycleBrah]

Wow either these paddock girls are like 6'6" with heels or Pedrosa is advanced manlet status.

[OptimusPrim3]

I'm sure those girls wouldn't mind Pedrosa climbing on and giving them that lean angle nomsayin'. Also, damn.. the Bimota DB7 is like $40k in the U.S.

[plsbh]

Wow either these paddock girls are like 6'6" with heels or Pedrosa is advanced manlet status.

Girls are probably like 5'8 or bordering 6'. Pedrosa is like 5'2

All the pro motogp guys are like horse jockeys.....they're all very small.

I was referred to the dealer where I purchased my Ducati. He gave me a $1200 discount from sticker and sold me any gear i wanted just over his cost.

This is not the norm. Botique type shops that sell specialty bikes tend to get MSRP all day long.
