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.

Yea. I am not doing something right. I work as an EMT and going to school as a paramedic and I have no problem with saving most dying people and keeping them stable for the surgeons but working on my bike or searching for a specific topic- not good at that. Search____ " How to do an oil...

Dear god man!!! WTF??? I thought an oil change was one of the easiest things to do on a bike. O- rings, torque, environment, which circle of hell hath Dante taken me too? I bought 4 liters of oil as well!!! The last time I had it changed they charged me for 4 litres!!! Now you see why all...

Ummmm....yea. I am not very good at mechanical things nor am I good at doing searches on the internet either. Thanks for the link but it returned a thread with 101 pages!!!!!. Can I just guess at this whole torque thing? I didn't do anything like them when changing my tires.

All my posts start with HELP!!! I am about to go change my oil. Went out yesterday and bought everything that I though that I needed. I am trying to find the picture by picture thread on how to do it. For some reason taking of my rims and chain for tire changes don't scare me but this one...

I have been looking into getting one of these cameras and I was wondering about the quality. Can you set it to capture in different formats and different compressions? How much did you pay for it? I can help you with iMovie depending on what version it is as I am quite handy at video editing. If...
