General Banter / Re: Riding with others
« on: May 21, 2018, 09:07:15 AM »
When I first started riding in group rides with the MSTA/HSTA (1999? 2000?) i found some of the big group rides fun and it was exciting to be around other people that enjoyed motorcycles, and I met one of my best friends Chad through the group and we did a few years of CRA.  My good friend Dave and I did a lot of riding, and we met some other really good friends (Scott/Dani).  I/We eventually decided that big groups rides were a PITA.  Long story short, it sucks when people crash, or pass you or others unsafely.  So we eventually through the years, just rode with people we knew and we all had similar riding levels and no one was out to prove anything.  Everyone was very predictable.  So much nicer!

Motoport stuff is custom sized also and they will alter it if needed if you change "sizes"

Aerostich makes great stuff though.

So, what is a "normal" per hour labor cost?

Appears Ducati MPLS is at $125/hr.

What about for "big" Ducati maintenance things (valves, timing belts, etc)? Who/Where do you guys recommend these days?

I have no idea how well Spies communicated with his team about how the bike handles, etc etc, but I think that comes in to play. You need to be able to accurately tell the team what is going on with the bike for them to get it setup correctly, maybe not as much in WSBK.  Prototype vs "Production model"

Some of the naked type sport bikes tend to not have really low clipons (or have actual handle bars) and more room for the legs.   I have a nice 2004 919 i'd be willing to sell with adjustable rearsets....  :)

Z1000's are nice or maube an FZ1, etc etc.

I'd probably start reading the "Game of Thrones" series, if I thought the author would finish the series before he dies...HURRY UP.

In the half dozen or so times I've ridden without a helmet (a few blocks at best, usually in Arkansas running to dinner or something) I found it very uncomfortable. Noisy, windy, a feeling of being very exposed. IMO, helmets make riding a motorcycle a much more enjoyable experience from a comfort perspective.

Honestly, this is one of the major reasons I like to wear helmets, comfort, and the bonus is, it protects your brain.    Not sure what being a librarian has anything to with anything....  HAHA jk.  I believe that personal choice is a right and we are losing that battle inch by inch.  But saying that, if they did pass a helmet law, i wouldnt really care.  If they get around to banning giant chocolate bars, its ON!(or I will just buy 3).
