Yep, PR2's are the tire of choice for straight road longevity with the occasional riding of the side of the tires.

Oh damn.

By the way, read every word. Well, except that one word. Yea, I tend to buy my filters from Wally World because it's 3 miles from my house versus the 15 miles to the nearest motorcycle dealer and 20 to the Yamaha dealer. I buy the Bosch ones that are almost the same price as the Yamaha ones...

I was not saying that at all. What I was saying is that in his head he was thinking "I'd better stop it now because no way I can pick it up by myself." If you can stop it, you likely could have picked it up.

Might I also point out that you literally fukked yourself over, on the packing thread, when you said "I'm psyched and can't wait for the adventure!" I've bolded your mistake in that quote, because you got exactly what you asked for.

And from now on you too will do the double kick on the kickstand...just to be sure. Just so you know, motorcycles are easier to pick up than they are to stop from coming down. You can get better positioned and use momentum to your advantage, instead of it working to your disadvantage. I'm not...

WTF dude? No Walmart nearby? Even a Fram would get you home safer than that duct tape job. Kudos on finding the issue and getting it home though.

$1300 from the dealer to replace two oil lines. Did it myself for $100. Another chunk of change spent after I realized the previous owner cross threaded the O2 sensor. Also cost me two weekends, 172 curse words as I tried to get to bolts where hands don't fit well, and some blood. Those two in...

I drove my friends CRX back in the day. I can't imagine it with a little work done to it.

1911, I used to own a MINI Cooper. Our local MINI club is embraced by the local dealership with their DIY days. First Saturday of the month is DIY day and they open up lifts and bays for the club to use. They also have three techs on hand to assist and answer questions. I did all my oil changes...

I don't understand the people who would see that guy and be scared of him. Their rationale is "Well, how am I to know if he's a good guy or a bad guy who is going to shoot up the place?" What does it matter? You don't know if the three guys with CCW in there too are going to do bad or good...

Sounds like they are taking the Hobby King approach. If you leave something sit in your cart long enough they will offer you a "One Time Only" price reduction on that item. Everything I buy from them sits in the cart long enough for that price reduction. I bet you could trigger it again today on...

I've heard of folks cutting down their normal ear plugs then running a hot needle down the middle to achieve a similar effect.

Almost forgotten...but not quite. All that and no computer controlled clutch and shifting system? Bah.

Well, rode to work this morning. FJRPittsburgh, not sure how well they'll do for you compared to your custom molded plugs, but against my Howard Leight Laser Lite plugs, there is no comparison. Too loud for what I am used to. I could possibly get used to it but I don't want to. I look forward to...

Woot! Looks like it took you right at the same amount of time mine took me. Congrats for both of you. Now send in the paperwork!

Bingo, if he missed the bright light in an expected location, there's no way he'd see a brightly colored jacket in a place he doesn't expect to see it.

I bought a refurbished monitor for my computer. After about three years it went out. I work in IT so was familiar with the capacitor issues from that time frame so looked into it online. Found and identified the issue on my monitor. I could have saved a few bucks and sourced each capacitor...

In the end, he got lucky. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do. What would have happened if at the last second, just as the rider was preparing to bail, the driver decided to swerve left around him? SIPDE Sometimes it works, like for this guy, sometimes you are unlucky.

Hey!
