Ride while you wait!

 

Got the seat concepts installed. Much better than the stock seat.

 

All this Grom talk... my buddy has one that he’s trying to trade for a golf cart lol. Hmm maybe I should ask how much cash he’s looking to get for it

 

Makes me want a grom

 

Agreed they look really fun

 

I feel like I’m too tall for a Grom, but I won’t lie, if I had a buddy with one, I’d probably get one too. Hell, I don’t even have a buddy with a motorcycle endorsement on his license so.....

 

Get the fuck out of here none of your friends ride?? To be honest though 97% of the time I ride solo. Most of my buddies that ride aren’t local and I only do a couple random group rides a year.

 

I’ll get a grom with you

 

I have been
Goin for a long scoot tomorrow to meet up with @GHOST SHIP to make some barter exchanges

 

I am 6’3” just get a tall seat like I did.

 

I sat on the stock one and even at 6’5 I thought it wasn’t terrible. A higher seat would be perfect I bet. Not like you’re taking that thing on long cruises anyway

 

I’m not a very social person. I interact with people more here on TW than I do in real life. Needless to say, this social distancing hasn’t bothered me one bit.

I have one close friend that’s the closest to being a Moto buddy. he has a project bike but lacks the motivation to finish it. Oh, an no endorsement.

 

Just ripped it around the neighborhood. With the 14 tooth sprocket, shorter bars and tall seat it is AMAZING!

 

I hear ya, no judgement just thought by proximity you might be one of the sons of anarchy lol.

 

I know a lot of the club guys (1% and legit) but that lifestyle isn’t for me. Had a guy from work trying to get me to prospect for his club and he seemed confused when I told him no.
It wasn’t even a 1% club but the hierarchy is still there and I have no interest in that.

 

I have no use for a trials bike but they sure look good.

 

I'm definitely a fan of those colors (obviously lol) but prefer the look of the old headlight. With that being said, the updated headlight puts the old one to shame with light output and I wish I had it haha. I too love the FZ/MT's. You just get so much out of it for what they cost. Yamaha is doing it right.

 

I want one of the new tenere 700’s they look like they would be a great all around bike.

 

yea i like it, the surge in popularity of the adventure bike has been good for the motorcycle world


i love the yamaha teneres that yamaha used to run in dakar back in the late '80s and early '90s!!
