Which one do I take to work today? I leave in an hour. If you're late, pick one for tomorrow. Then, please tell me why you picked the one you did.

I had my katanas chain replaced about 3 years ago, parobably 11000 miles ago. I adjusted it at the end of last season but forgot to lube it and now 2000 miles into this season Its slapping the bike at around at probably 1.5 inch slack. Do I need a new chain or should I just adjust this one again and lube it up. I realy dont want to go through all that work if I have to replace the chain anyway.

I have a 1978 Kawasaki kz650. I cleaned the carbs, changed the oil/ oil filter, and change the spark plugs. When changing the plugs they where black. I know its running rich, so I adjusted the piolet jet. It runs fine when I am up and going. I just cant hammer it from a stand still. I have staight pipes on it as well. I am thinking of putting smaller main jets. Anything will help a tons. Thanks!

If you know what areas they're in and any info on joining I'd be interested. Which one do you think is the best.

I have been on the freeway twice since I bought my bike last year. I am scared because it feels like I'm going to get knocked off when I go over 60 mph. I think it's because of my heavy leather jacket. This jacket is not those jackets like in The Wild One. It must weigh like 4 to 5 pounds. I'm very light too, I weigh 140 lbs. My question is is it natural to encounter wind regardless of my jacket or is it the jacket?? If clothing's not a factor, what are some tips to ride the freeway?Thanks

Why do we (Harley riders) have to act like I.D.I.O.T.S. when rinding???

This past weekend I wend on a cruise with my (called buds) and its probably the last time I go with them. I actually told them this already... When I told them they all have nothing to say but they keep actiong like this...

The one thing I disliked the most is that at every freeking stop light they all have tho rumble their bikes, then they take off like if they stoled the bike, they flick everyone outhere and most of them have harley crap all over themselves. I guess I'm in no need of attention so I 'm getting a little sick of them. Funny thing is that I started this little club and I can't stand them.

I my self ride a harley but I don't act stupid or dress stupid either. whats happening with us now???

Any mature riders that I can ride with???

Hello!

I have recently had some oil drip on to my nice, new concrete drive from my bike!
The house is only 2 months old, and obviously I would prefer not to have unsightly oil stains on my nice, new driveway!
Does anyone know how to remove these? I have tried (in vain) with fairy liquid and scrubbing brush!

Cheers

a guy bent the frame on this wheeler hitting a sidewalk too hard... Now the tire wears on the right front side due to the fact that you have to use extra muscle to keep the atv straight. Could I use a vise and bend it back, if not where can I find just the frame.

OK, so I've put the pipe on the bike and immediately felt the difference in the midrange. But not being satisfied, I put the K&N clamp-ons on, removing the stock airbox. I only had the take the bike half way down my street to tell I was way too lean. My buddy says I can install the jet kit myself, but the more I look at all the little parts and think about how expensive it will be to replace the carbs if I botch the job, the less confident I feel about it. Especially when Dynojet says you have to sync the carbs and do different adjustments. I thought it would be as easy as unscrewing the stock jets and putting in the bigger ones. Even though I feel comfortable with a wrench in my hand, carbs are a finicky baby. Am I better off trying to find a shop to install them or am I overly worried about nothing? Part of me feels like if they were so difficult to install, why does it seem like everyone has one? How do you know you're dialed in at max performance anyway?

I was curious.. curious comes with thinking. If I owned a harley:
" Do these straight pipes hurt people in the comfort of thier hard earned homes?"
"Should I watch my back for a righteous individual who may come out of nowhere and beat me up for being a jackass on a motorcycle with straight pipes?"
"I wonder why the law never stops me.."
"Am I above the law?"
"Am I too cool for my own country or what?"
"Is disturbing the peace just that... or does my leather jacket void me of all true accusations."
180 degree boxer design beats this wobbling 90 degree retard anyday.Chasing 360 is chasing 360. Like a dumb dog for his own tail.
See? if you truly think. A harley is not for you....
