Bike talk: Motorcycle/Scooter chat thread!

That makes sense, but I have to transfer that info to cars.
When you build your engine yourself as well as install your turbo kit, you understand that car alot better than if someone did everything for you.

I never really had the opportunity to work on my bikes due to not having a garage, but I do know that carbs. would annoy the hell out of me.
When I took the bike riding class, they had carb'ed bikes there and just getting them started pissed me off.
Twist this, pull choke, press this.. I was like "I was to start a bike, not fly a damn plane."...LOL

:lol:

Carbs are assholes but really not a big deal when you know the bike.

Funny story, The guy who came and bought my xr650r last year, He was in his 30s and he tried and tried to start it but he just wasn't enough of a dude to get it started, I threw my leg over it and gave it one good kick and it fired first try, He rode it, Loved it and bought it, He said his wife was gonna kill him when she found out he payed 3k for a bike he couldn't even start. :lol:

Yeah carbs are definitely assholes.... I think I need a new one :lol:

That f***ing 85 main made it run great.... Until I wasn't at the house, pulled into a parking lot, swapped out jets and wouldn't suck fuel. Had to walk the b**** home.

 

[94RS]

I complain about my pos, meanwhile the dudes I ride with are winning shows...

 

[SoundEfx]

Damn. It sucks when a ruckus looks better than my teg....lol

 

[94RS]

With how much money is in the black one, I'd be pissed if I wasn't winning shows with it.... The yellow one matches the guy's turbo ITR if that's any consolation? :lol:

 

[imchongx3]

These are dope af lol how much did building it run you?

 

[94RS]

The guy that owns the black one has like $12-13k in it, but most of the parts on it are all one-off. (Better shot of it a page back.) That Phoenix Yellow one was built by his buddy and he probably has about 6k in that one. These aren't counting the purchase price...

Yeah.... They're not cheap, but they're fun as shit and break countless necks, even my shitty black/blue one. I only have like maybe $2200-2300 invested (counting the purchase price)

Think about the track bike you could build for that o.o

Carbon kevlar body... GP quickshifter, Full akropovic system... :drool:

Blackie usually steals the attention away from those at bike night :lol:

 

[R13]

Those don't go to bike shows :lol:

They stay in the garage or at the track earning respect.

The true ones do anyway.

I believe it, The ruck is goofy as shit and just interesting to look at, You kind have to have a special understanding of bikes to appreciate an expensive Race bike.

Integra of the bike world, it's even got the bugeyes :lol:

It's cool to be nerdy now, That's why hondas run the streets and video games own the entertainment industry.

I refuse to bend my knee to it :lol:

I'll drive a honda and ride a ruck for shits and giggles but I gotta preserve what little of the oldschool "cool" there is left in the world.
