Maybe I was misleading. My total insurance bill isn't $500/year... that's just the one bike for now. It's a 125. lol $40/month. Second bike (CBX) was quoted around $50/month. It's old as hell. That might help. The Personal is also pretty cheap. My total for the following is currently...

Silly me thought the most important feature of a motorcycle jacket was that it would actually do what a motorcycle jacket is supposed to do: protect you. Anything else is bonus. Considering even many motorcycle-specific jackets will just disintegrate I wouldn't trust many non-motorcycle...

Mine's around $500/yr and I bought a second last year. Also have 2 cars. All just for me.

Bump.

I need new pistons for the brakes. Already purchased unfortunately. That was for all 3 (2 front 1 rear).

While a kit from Progressive would be nice at this point I'm just restoring it to stock rideable condition. Not concerned with tuning much of anything. The rear shocks I got were just OEM-style replacements as well even though there are better, much more expensive, options out there. I'd...

I'd have to get the guy working on it to verify. Are fork seals universal just based on diameter? I guess that would make sense. I've never replaced them myself.

That’s not how filtering works. I said like filtering.

Thanks. Glad I found out my Dad's friend likes to restore old Hondas for fun. Ended up needing way more work than I was prepared to do or have done if I had to pay full labor cost. Needed tires; tank cleaned up and relined (did myself with a POR15 kit); carbs disassembled, cleaned, and idle...

I suppose so. I was there from the time he got called up until he left. There was some talk about why he was still driving all the time despite his suspended license. Talk about his unpaid fines and unpaid child support. Etc. Guess I might be missing some background. Or maybe when he told...

I would have never thought a bunch of actual tough guys would get angry at someone for their choice of clothing. Then again, maybe that's just because I don't give a **** what anyone chooses to wear.

This tech in cars really just makes it so I've found 3 cars running in parking lots with the doors all unlocked and the engine running and a coworker left his car running while he went on vacation for a week. I had a Nissan rental with emergency brake warning. Apparently I drive too...

Good to know. My 944 has flat tappets. I actually bought ZDDP Plus additive for it. Guess I could just find SG oil.

T3 doesn't meet JASO-MA? Was considering running it in an old bike. I guess synthetic is probably a better option anyway.

I see no issue with using the bike lane if there are no bicycles in it. Pretty much the same as filtering. Obviously if it's full of cyclists and you're trying to ride your motorcycle in it you're an idiot.

I've seen a guy in traffic court (for drunk driving, driving without a license or insurance, speeding, and dangerous driving) get off completely free because he was broke AF, owed tens of thousands in fines, and had already been to jail a bunch of times. Judge was basically like, "You have no...

I'm trying to find some parts for my 1979 CBX. Some sites list parts for a CBX1000 and some for a CBX1100. As far as I can find via some Googling the CBX, CBX1000, CBX1050, and CBX1100 are actually all the same bike just people sometimes call it different things. Is that correct or am I...

That SVEA123R is a nice looking stove! Wish I had stumbled on that before buying a Primus Omnifuel II. The SV looks much simpler, looks like it packs nicer, and may be cheaper.

I have just a regular packable camp stove and it also sounds like a jet taking off. I just got a new burner for it called "Quiet Stove" that is much quieter though except it doesn't light as well. Goes crazy and shoots fireballs until it's warmed up. I run mine on gasoline so I don't have to...

If I were going to commute all winter, not just go for an occasional ride (I've done that at least once a month all year before), I'd get something low to the ground, cheap, and durable. I was considering trying to find an old Honda NX250 for this. Or a 3 wheeled thing of some kind (Ural...
