All I do anymore is ride.

I get home from work, put my helmet and my jacket on, change my boots, put on an album, and ride. Come back home, eat, go back out until I'm tired. Go to sleep, wake up, go to work, and repeat. Been like this for a couple weeks.

It feels weird. It doesn't feel wrong. I just look around and it's odd to see that this is how my life has turned out. I'm sad and I don't even know why anymore.

That about sums it up for the non-Air Force Harley riders. Clovis has a couple of decent restaurants, but most of the people are trash. Alamogordo has a lot of poor/trash too, but there's more shopping, restaurants, and general shit to do, not to mention the mountains.

http://www.thestreet.com/story/13528626/1/is-harley-davidson-running-out-of-gas-in-the-u-s.html
>As one Wall Street analyst recently put it, Harley-Davidson continues to get squeezed in the U.S. from several factors.

>"As is usually the case with Harley dealers in election seasons, many pointed to the political environment and economic uncertainty as the main factors [for sluggish sales], and from an economic standpoint, dealers in heavy agricultural and energy regions have been the hardest hit, as has been the case for some time," said Wedbush Securities analyst James Hardiman in an April 12 note to clients. In addition to economic uncertainty causing people to delay buying a bike, Harley is still feeling the heat from a key competitor.

>Hardiman continued, "We estimate that 80%-90% of Harley's overall market share losses in 2015 went to Polaris (PII - Get Report) , and that even after stripping out auto-cycles (Slingshot and Spyder), Polaris gained about half of Harley's lost share."

>never been on dirt roads
The key is to keep smooth on the throttle, use mostly back brake in looser dirt/gravel, and don't be too "tight" with the bars. On bikes, the right tires help, but you can go on dirt just fine on street tires as long as you don't get hektik.

There's a lot of hidden beauty in the state once you get off the highways. On pic related trip, I wish I had brought the DR (hadn't bought it yet) or my truck. Still, the Miata handled it OK but I'm missing a lot of undercoating now.

Cruisers are a great choice to learn on. The low end torque means you don't need to apply any throttle to get going 15mph, and because they suck at turning you get wide berths in your U-turn test.

Helmet speakers, and earplugs. The earplugs are already good at not killing your ears with wind noise and such, but combine them with helmets speakers and it helps stop the high treble from killing your ears, and makes the speakers sound better.

>>14886615
Bluetooth, I didn't get any fancy set up just a Built Bluetooth helmet

Not about hearing fine so much as not killing your ears slowly. Ask about it, you'll get the whole of /dbt/ telling you to get them. I just left mine out for the first time in only a few days and noticed how loud my bike actually was.

>First is the engine noise, which is a relatively insignificant factor once riders accelerate to highway speeds. Audible wind noise can reach volumes as high as 115 decibels or more, roughly equivalent to what power saw operators without ear protection would hear. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends limiting such exposure to 15 minutes or less per day.

http://www.hearingtestlabs.com/motorcycle.htm
>Similar to the shooting and aviation industries, if this issue is not addressed correctly from the beginning the amount of exposure to the inner ear is compounded every time the rider ventures out on his/her bike for hours at a time. Constant duration of harmful level noises gradually force the rider into becoming another statistic of the "silent killer."

>To put this in perspective, according to OSHA's regulation of industrial noise exposure, an average worker surrounded by levels around 85-90dB for an eight hour day will not exceed the limits of exposure time within a 24 hour period of time.

>However, when the sound levels exceed 100dB, your exposure time is reduced to two hours. When sound levels exceed 115dB, your exposure time is drastically reduced to 15 minutes. This puts riding a bike a whole other realm as "wind noise" at highway speeds can measure up to 103dB, or comparable to a running chainsaw. At these levels the rider is not only fatiguing physically from the excess noise exposure, but it also puts him into a position of needing a hearing aid later in life.

Is that creepy?
I like doing twisted at other people's paces but I don't want to come across as a rapey freak.

Being retarded is more fun.

Old shit can still be fast, but old shit can't really corner, so I'd go with fat, fast in a straight line. Pick up a V-Max or a Magna/Sabre V65

I don't know why, but I really like the looks of these types of bikes. Something about the front end is just pleasing to look at.

how old is your bandit?
my GSX250 has the same i4 engine as the original bandit and I ended up paying $150 to have the carbs done at a dyno guy and I was quoted $400 to have the valve shims checked
get the carbs done but don't pay fucken 400 for a shim check

Things that I should do:
>buy set of plugs to check crab last time
>make a call to go chek out a bike
>set an appointment for my exhams
>call another doctor for another exham
>find a rack for the bike

How many of these objectives do you think I'll complete today?
