Got a new sticker for my suzuki! She's getting more punked out! :D So far the sticker tally is... Dead Kennedys, The Ramones, The Buzzcocks, The Dickies, Die Krupps, Dead Milkmen, The Clash, Fear, Alternative Tentacles, Nitzer Ebb, and R2D2 :rolleyes:

Damnit now it's a museum and I was just at the Franklin Institute the other day but didn't know it wasn't the water tower anymore so I didn't take a picture... Anyway here's the tower. Not sure if it's a water tower or a fire tower though.:confused:

@N4teTheGreat I've considered the truck idea. Even a trailer hitch and trailer too. It may come to this eventually. @appliance821 I had suggested a local ride called the Ephrata Breakfast Ride to my coworkers. It's not too far and fairly convenient to the locations of my coworkers and they all...

I don't ride with anybody. Tried to get all the riders at my last job (10 or so) interested in a group ride and they all said yeah that will be great but none of them would ever commit to a ride in the end. Plenty of riders in my neighborhood but they're almost all harley riders that only like...

I've become really bored with riding the roads in my regional area. I find myself riding further and further out of my area each time I go for a joy ride but this becomes self-defeating in the end because much of that riding still takes place on roads I am bored with and there's only so far I...

Occasionally I get a bit mischievous and ride places I shouldn't be riding. Shame on me. I recently rode here... https://www.google.com/maps/place/39°48'00.5%22N+75°26'26.0%22W/@39.7999564,-75.4401732,470m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d39.8001266!4d-75.4405608 I didn't take many...

Yesterday I'm waiting at a light. Beyond the intersection the right and left lanes merge into one after a few hundred feet. I'm in the right lane. Next to me are two Harley dudes in the left lane. I really couldn't hear anything they were saying over the obnoxiously loud exhausts on their...

March was my 1st year anniversary with my 2013 HS. Somewhere over 5000 miles. Good considering I ride my Suzuki half the time too. Mileage is usually 48-49 mpg according to the dashboard. I've been through 3 rear tires so far and it makes me wonder if Pennsylvania's roads are worse than in...

Hi zibbit good luck with it. I'm very interested to know how it works for you. Since it's been warmer lately and starting is easier I haven't been as concerned so this project fell off my radar while I focused on more immediate concerns. Their kit is pricey but it does save you all of the...

If it's the millennial Hipsters doing this then the prevalence of these ads makes some sense. Those people all expound upon that whole maker ideal but none of them seem to have the attention span required to complete any project. I like to tinker and to that end I have my Suzuki Savage. Cheap...

As I am watching local ads lately I can't help but to notice how many there are for so called project bikes. Bikes that are not running that the owner was trying to turn into a cafe racer or street bob etc. and then for some inexplicable reason just gave up halfway through. Typically the sellers...

Technically the little mini-bike can go anywhere - provided I have enough traction under my feet to pick it up and carry it. :D

Ok here it is, my ultimate dual sport bike https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/d/vintage-mini-bike-with-10hp/6529570514.html JK! So in my searches I found two 2012 DR650's for $4300 and $4500 both low miles (<5000) Plus an older 2000 with 10,000 for $3000. Are these reasonable prices?

I've been following with the plan I outlined earlier to make the HS more commuter friendly and buying a dual sport for off-load fun. To this end I've had the clutch upgrade installed and am finally happy with riding the bike in stop and go traffic. Much less tiring to do now that the clutch has...

Just put a new battery in on Saturday and she still takes 4 tries in 35-45 degrees. Very interesting to know that about your 996 Bones. Thanks for that info!

I've used this wiring in an old truck from 1967 with great results for cold weather starting. Serious improvement, went from a truck that would wear the battery down until it couldn't crank half the time to starting on the first try in all weather. I'm wondering if it's worth doing on a...

I just replaced the belts on my 2013 with 9955 miles. The old ones definitely looked worn and loose.

I just put one of these in my HS yesterday. https://bikemaster.com/motorcycle-batteries/agm-platinum-ii-motorcycle-batteries/agm-platinum-ii-battery-2514.html It was the only one my local bike shop had available that fit. And it fits perfectly fine. I'm thinking of ordering this HICAP wiring...

New timing belts, new grips, new rear brake pads and the clutch upgrade kit. She's running and stopping like a champ now!

My clutch kit has been installed and the snatchy grabbiness is gone! She's like a normal bike now. I rode for a long time in stop and crawl traffic and every start was smooth as can be. Thanks for coming up with this!!!!
