I wish I had someone to video tape me. I have tried hanging off the side but I am uncomfortable doing it and frankly I think I am doing it wrong but there are plenty of nice long corners here on the freeways at interchanges, etc. that I ride on the way home from my girlfriends house. When I...

I live in an apartment/condo community where there is very little parking and very few childre. I work the night shift and come home very early in the morning. Everyday I turn off the road right onto the sidewalk ramp and ride to my apartment and park right outside my front door.

Just some little revs from time to time- I like hearing the bike through my earplugs- I hear the engine better as my Arai Profile is comfortable but LOUD!!!!!

I have let a few friends ride my bike and only the ones that could afford to buy me a new bike that day no matter how little damage was done. The last friend who rode it- and the last time anyone will ride it besides me- caused me to tear the muscles in the right flank and back area. We had both...

Thanks for all the help and sorry I pissed you off. I need to spend more time here on the forum learning. Thanks for the words of wisdom, helping with the searching tips- it really is so embarrassing that my searches never worked and even more that I was afraid to ask. You are a good man my...

THANKS!!! I did it!!!Re: Help!! My first oil change- by myself. Thanks Boneman, LERecords, SirIsaac, and everyone else that helped me out. It was a really good learning experience and was actually quick and easy to do. I spent more time asking for help and bitchin' and griping than it took...

:jawdrop: Nope- wasn't joking. I misread that from a post somewhere and they said something about running the engine but I think it was for when you have filled it almost all the way up with oil. I downloaded the 07' service manual from your site Boneman. Very nice website and bike by the...

I have to say that you have summed me up in a nutshell. So far with my bike and being here on the forums has been "help I'm an idiot-spoonfeed me-now-now-now". I really do apologize for the dick thing earlier. I had no idea what I was getting into when I bought a bike and at that time I also had...

I hear you. I was stuck with no money except for the tires which I bought at cycle gear and didn't have the money to have it towed and have the tires changed. They just balanced them for me and said good luck. We as a community should find some way to have a link or a forum for simple newbie...

You are THE MAN!!!! Not like - " Down with THE MAN!!" or " THE MAN is keeping me down!" but the other kind like "you da man"!!!! :cheer: Oh!!! This is classic me!!! I went with mowing the lawn first before driving 40 miles to get my tools and getting stuck for hours and being in trouble...

Someone just shoot me. I could probably have been finished by now. I am just going for it. Thanks everyone for the links and help though. I will be back tomorrow crying for more.

You know- everyone says that. But with some help from all the good folks here and once I got started it just seemed to come naturally. Changing the tires was just really time consuming and I had limited tools but it just all made sense. I have been riding for about 4000+ miles on those changed...

Thank you. Now this is much more helpful. Sorry about the dick comment ( cough*dick*cough). Actually, I am being impatient as I have very little time. Didn't mean to get short. I just really do not want to screw anything up but thanks for the help. Nice short and to the point- but don't I have...

Actually my bad it was a typo. It returned a thread with 101 pages of replies and I am in a bind. Yes, practice makes perfect but this is my only means of transportation and I have so much to study I do not have time to sit and read the big mechanics manual someone posted here. Now you are just...

Hey buddy- I am in a bind here. This is a place to help people. Teach me how to search properly before you start making me feel even more foolish. Mean Boneman- Bad Boneman:spank: Thanks anyway!!!! I am sure I will be laughing at someone one day as well.
