Motorcycling Thread for MrX, Matty, and I

[Mudcat]

I watch a relatively low percentage of vids posted in this thread.

 

[Matty]

Spoiler alert. A lot of people die at the end.

Got my haircut tonight

 

[Brandon Walsh]

It doesn't look as good as mine.

[Brandon Walsh]

Guilty.

 

[bacon]

It was a good caring cut and she kept the conversation flowing. Good job, Walmart haircut girl.

Back to topic of thread.

 

[Matty]

Still the best motorcycle game ever.

Started tackling my planned winter maintenance items. Front wheel bearings + steering stem bearings today. Then I tested my work by riding to the liquor store. Came back with some bourbon. Productive day, boys.

 

[MrX]

Whoa. Nice work. Putting me to shame.

 

[IAG]

I want to see Blitty, Mr X, and Matty in the globe of death. That would be awesome.

 

[Matty]

Still need to:

*Replace chain and sprockets (530 to 520 conversion - sprockets on order from some eccentric guy in SF)
*Replace valve seals (got all the tools I need today)
*Rebuild all three brake calipers

Then I'll trust it enough to go on long trips.

Dibs on driving the car.

 

[MrX]

I'd give the well of death a try. Let's make this happen as soon as JL turns 18.

We can't be making any GL orphans.

Let me know how that sprocket conversion goes. A lot of people favor different sprocket ratios for my vstrom. I almost made the leap, but decided against it. I love it so much as is, I decided not to mess with it.

The deciding factor was not wanting my speedometer to be off.

 

[Matty]

Thankfully my speedo is mechanically coupled to the front wheel, so it can't be off unless I mess with tire sizes.

Them old carbureted bikes were cleverly designed.

Lucky bastard
