  1. One of my neighbors, who I didn't know at the time, stopped by with an NC700 while I was working on the China bike. He offered up a ride, and I thought it was really damn cool. Very much like shifting our BMW. I took it up a small hill and loved that you never really lose power, and never break the back tire loose while shifting under power. It's not the sort of bike I want right now, but it was quite impressive. And he had SO many custom-fit accessories, I guess it must be a really popular bike.
  2. I had to replace both on my XX, and one stator. I'd prefer not to, but call those minor things on an otherwise great bike. I mean, compare it to Hayabusas catching fire, and you'll have a new perspective...
  3. Uh-oh, anyone want to tell him about the CCT?
  4. The link is safe. The phone number is with Google Voice and it's brand new. So yeah, off-shore scammer.
  5. For that price, I'd hope it includes an aluminum magnet.
  6. Smart. So is anyone going to get them?
  7. So are you supposed to mount these inside a stock housing, or somehow fab your own fit?
  8. Hah, that's pretty much the circle marking tool from a woodworking store. Very easy to use, very reliable.
  9. A friend did a zip tie Frankenstein job on his bike on purpose, just for fun, no damage. It was pearl white, so it really stood out.

  12. Also, I just use a big circle marking jig between the axle bolt and the swingarm bolt. Precise, fast.
  13. Why not just stick a straightedge on the chain. Why would a laser be better? And for that matter, why couldn't it be any laser that lays down a line, like the household laser levels for walls?
  14. I agree. I was a 100% Ford whore, but found that the Dodge had more things that were important to me, and the Ford had clear defects for me. So I switched. The Jeep is its own thing. There's nothing else like it. At the same time I've advised two friends to get something else based on their stated mission. For me, there's nothing else I'd remotely consider. I think Dodge cars are garbage and we hated every single one we sat in when we were last car shopping (ended up with the BMW).
  15. Man, you gotta catch up, traded that back in 2013. Or maybe you mean the Jeep, which I guess is sort of a Dodge, but technically not really. And yes, I got the sarcasm.
  16. On which side of your leathers do you wear your dick? I move it before each ride to keep tire wear even.
  17. I'm trying to upload a virus over a 300 baud modem onto a Hi-8 recorder right now, BRB.
  18. I think I kicked the spring on a previous stop, because the center stand and side stand are too close/interfere. I'm going to weld a foot lever onto the side stand.
  19. Note the post times, most people had no issue. A specific error message would be most helpful in tracking this down.
  20. Last night my chain was warm, TPMS said tires at around 100 degrees, and the kickstand spring got so hot it jumped off the bike.
