What's winter?

 

[R13]

Right now this is "warm" :lol:

 

[94RS]

If that was here, people would be walking around dressed like there was 3ft of snow on the ground...


The night I bought the XB, it was in the high 40s.... And I ride home in a shirt and shorts :rolf:

 

[R13]

So yeah... it's good for chill weather :lol:

 

[94RS]

It's alright :lol:

 

[R13]

The F4 is shit in cold weather :rolf:

It gets mildly warmer than I'd like on a hot summer day. :lol:

 

[94RS]

Sounds like you need an aircooled Buell :rolf:

 

[R13]

Hard to disagree in my current situation. :lol:


Before I go to really working down in this scunge pit... I think I'm gonna remove the tank/battery/fairings, load it in the truck, soak it in simple green, take it to the car wash, and blast the fucker out real good :lol:

Can't imagine anything would come to harm if I just give it a few days before hooking the batter back up. :rolf:

 

[R13]

You know what... fuck it. I'm buying Renthal waffle grips for the F4 :rolf:

Never liked diamond cut grips on dirtbikes... probably won't after I cut the ends out and make sportbike grips out of the waffles either. :lol:

 

[94RS]

:lol: Full waffle grips? I had half waffles on the C70 and they wore out in a few months.

Never again. :rolf:

 

[R13]

Idk how sturdy the Renthal's are, but I have never worn out the oem waffles on Honda dirt bikes. Those are some sturdy bitches. :lol:

 

[94RS]

Sturdy... uncomfortable. Same shit :lol:

 

[R13]

I was fond of the waffles on the XR and my cr80 :lol:

Never once had a hand slip off or feel like I didn't have a good hold on the bike.

 

[94RS]

So the same thing that $11 ProGrip superbike grips do...? :lol:

 

[R13]

Yeah, but they're not ridiculous like putting MX waffle grips on a CBR. :lol:
