For some reason I'm just so happy, and this made me laugh a ton. Rode that ninja for a little over a year as first bike, never put it down until now, and I wasn't even riding it, or doing work on it, the bloody key wasn't even in the ignition.
The first time I ever drop a bike and it's in my garage simply moving it, for some reason I'm very happy about this.
How's your day going so far friendos?
>cant see for shit because visor keeps fogging
Wax your visor
>cant be seen for shit because not bright yellow
You don't have lights or high-vis stripes? What are you doing on the road any way?
>cant grip for shit because small contact pavement on wet pavement isn't great
You still have most grip.
>get wet
Get better shit
>even if I have fucktons of rain gear to keep me mostly dry while riding
GET BETTER SHIT
> I have to find somewhere to store a bunch of wet gear without it getting stolen while I'm at work/class
At work just at the coat hanger near a heater at your workplace
In class let your jacket hang over your seat, keep the rest on
>It's just not fun or convenient. Why do you insist everyone should like riding in the rain?
It's more convenient than sitting in traffic.
Can't argue with fairweather fairies, friend
m8, the only times i have ever dropped my ninja 250 was while working on it. that center stand is not stable enough imo for any serious work.
centerstands are pointless. remove it, gain cornering clearance, and buy cheap fork/swingarm stands. costs like $50 for a set
>How's your day going so far friendos?
Worked for 12 hours, drove around the country for 6 hours, and did some troubleshooting, but didn't fix anything.
When I got home my girl texted me not to forget about tomorrow.
So could be a lot better.
>centerstands are pointless
If they're done badly maybe.
Center stands make chainlubing the easiest thing in the world. I wish my VFR had one.
