PS. as far as that video goes. Pvster, you have way to much time on your hands.
are you just mad because you missed the obvious?
oh and btw, i WISH i had too MUCH TIME on my hands.... with midterms all week (got 1 more....) and the term rampnig up to the grande finale, i TOOK some of my precious time to help educate you
Pvster does seem to be edgy lately. Googl3it, easy with those blue hair references , stop picking on Pvster. So what he can't speak?

zaq just curious, where do you get the reference that i'm edgy or cant speak? are you discriminating against Deaf people now? what, you dont like people who have blue hair, much less one that's Deaf?

you seem edgy with your blinker obsession and I'm sure that exam stress doesn't help. WhoTF is analyzing blinkers and who really gives a shit? I tend to blink more with my middle finger than anything anyway.
As far as can't speak comment, I meant to say can't hear. Sorry
Well fuck me running! Don't mean to make a mountain of a mole hill but never would have guessed the deaf situation PV... now that we know how you wake up, can you enlighten us further? How do blind people know when they're done wiping?!

I had a comment, but I won't go there.... No sense in being outright rude.
Unless we had a guy on here who was blind and didn't mind the occasional razzing such as PV with being Deaf.
And yes, PV can talk, we talked both our ears off WAY too late last time I was in Portland

edgy? nah. opinionated? VERY! couldnt you tell?! i just care about the topic... i used to think those cheap-o ebay blinkers were hella cool and the price was awesome, until i had several incidences that nearly killed me. since then i've gone on to educate myself about the quality of LEDS and want to help others avoid similar experiences that i've had as well as address common misinformation. so if you dont like my analyzing of blinkers, feel free to blink yourself on your merry way
as for the speaking comment, i was RAZZING you...... and now you say/assume i can't hear? well shit son, how much ammo you gonna keep giving me to take shots at you with? you make this too damn easy for me it's like shooting fish in a barrel. good thing i dont need to hear or know what fish sounds like in a barrel eh?
well I'll get us back on track here with a bad habit of mine....
Continuing to sing loudly inside my helmet while listening to my ipod without realizing I'm at a stop light and the person next to me has their window down....I've done this quite a few times.

Trying to find 7th
Putting the bike in neutral at lights
Constantly cancel the turn signals, then when i force my self to chill out i find they've been on for a mile =\
Occasionally i realize i've made it nearly the whole ride without giving the front a break from its contact with the ground
And, not to open a whole 'nother can of worms but...I have something against using the clutch, so upshifting and downshifting most of the time without it (though i will use it when downshifting more often)
I love listening to music when I ride. On the open road I can listen and smack my hand on my leg to the beat, wiggle my toes and even dance on the seat a little.
Back roads is the problem with the music. I want to play in corners with one hand on the bar which means you lean differently than normal and next thing I know I am almost in panic mode because the different leaning left me unprepared for the corner.
This comes from a dipwad that already has cornerphobia and rides by himself because of it. It has always been embarressing to have everybody wait for me.

I had cornerphobia as well I'm finally starting to get over it a little I think. Once I got confidence enough to try getting a cheek off the seat and hanging off slightly it feels so much better.

If I die on a bike it will be from me staring gape-mouthed at a pair of legs waiting at the corner. Like that Allstate mayhem commercial. I try and try, but most of the time I just can't help but steal a look.

Well, with teeth like yours (avatar) you can just keep on drivin'.... she ain't gonna look back.

i always put my bike in neutral at a light once traffic stopped behind me...saves the clutch bearings and cables;;;;atleast it did with harleys

I used to do the same thing. Well still do. I roll to the stop in neutral,clutch out,keeping my eye on the rear mirror,just in case I have to crash first and git goin quick

It is def more comfortable to do it that way, but i've had a few times where when i was sitting for a few seconds and then had to slam it into first and hop up a few feet bc the retard coming up behind thought a stopped moto means clear space Sitting already in first makes that MUCH easier
Retired now... but riding a mc or driving a car or semi......... I always signal 3/5 clicks prior to actually touching the line(after all it's a indicator of what you want to do). I don't have any problem getting into my space(and that's driving all over the USA).
I use the gear check by knowing rpm/speed ratio......What rpm do you use most of the time no matter what gear you're in? Me... At 4k the 1st number of the speed is the gear.....5k subtract one...... 6k sudtract 2.........
FYI....There are deaf ppl that can speak verbally, although a lot of them don't want to unless they have to. I know from deaf friends that helped me learn ASL when living in Denver........ I went on a tour though a deaf/blind school in Colo-Springs ...... They can use ASL while the blind ppl put their hand over the hand of the signer...... Cool.
I have something against using the clutch, so upshifting and downshifting most of the time without it (though i will use it when downshifting more often)
So at the risk of sounding like a newbie rider, what's so bad about straight shifting? The guys that I ride with have been doing it for years and they haven't mentioned any downside. Mechanically or for riding safety.

The running dog teeth that engage the gears take up all of the stress when you shift without the clutch. The clutch serves as a buffer and allows the load to be progressively transferred (we don't have any synchros). The dogs eventually will crack off or wear way down under the repeated stress (earlier than otherwise) and then you get to replace a bunch of gears in the gearbox.
"it has the option of having another device plugged into it that would trigger the device via an electronic pulse and the result is that the device vibrates. it's been long since determined that the lamp was tortuous enough"
Ok I've heard the line about the vibrating bedside device being "just an alarm clock" before. Didn't buy it then, wont buy it now. However, I have heard others agree with you that the lamp can be tortuous. Why would you???....
Once you learn how to time your up shift it is really easy. I am not saying there will not be wear but after so many years of doing it and who knows how many thousands of shifts have been done and no tranny problems I will probably keep upshifting without a clutch.

A used oil analysis is a simple way to prove wear or no wear on the transmission by the technique - and it's been done.
Also, I seriously have a problem listening to riding advice from a man who says he's in mortal terror of corners...

FYI...... Just a reminder it's not good to use "to much" clutch either.
For the ppl that don't know, the longer you hold in the clutch, the spinning/turning rpm's (both the tranny and the reardrive are turning the same rpm) will get more out of sync, so if you use to much for any length of time the more out of match they will turn.
So you want to just bleep the clutch(the same as electric shifters).
Another thing when shifting is to pressurize the clutch and shifter before shifting........That keeps everything tight; clutch cable/shift slack, so when you are ready to actually shift there's no delay.
I'm retired from C-to-C semi driving, and "can" shift without a clutch........ but I don't.
P.S.... I was watching a reality show where someone was given a car and he didn't know how to shift......... Is that where we're heading ? The only automatics I've driven were someone elses.... boring..... But I'm OCD anyway.

you better believe it! less than 10% of new cars sold annually in the u.s. are manual shift and auto manufactors are now leaning towards making manual a pricy option for performance cars. most models nowadays dont even offer manual as an option anymore, and the ones that do tend to be the base models. you'll be hard pressed to find a loaded vehicle in manual configuration. its pretty ghey.
Those of you who forget to cancel your blinkers check out some of the products made by badlands. I've got one on my custom and it cancels the blinker after about 9 or 10 blinks.

i laugh at people who think they need some device to cancel their signals for them.... i'm Deaf and i remember to cancel my signals just fine. people are just lazy to train themselves
