Don’t you go selling it to anybody else. I am house broke right now and I don’t even have the house!

 

Im in the market for a bike

 

With 3 bikes at home I finally bought a Nomar/Cycle Hill tire changer so I no longer need to wait for a friend of mine to help by letting me use his or pay a shop to mount and balance tires for me. They had a pretty decent promo over the 4th so I ordered one. It arrived Sunday around 8pm, thanks Fed Ex, and I got it assembled last night. Borrowing a hammer drill and masonry bits at work today so I can mount it to my garage floor when I get home.

I love my FJR1300. That's why I need my own tire changer.......2 to 3 pairs per season will do that.

 

You have a bike!

 

he prob just wants a pedal bike, for his 2 mile work commute

 

he recently said he wanted a naked sports bike so, just dont go telling him he could undress the thing...

 

Im trading it next month

Haha, i have one of those too. 2017 Specialized Rock Hopper. I ride it to get free air at the bike trail next to my house, then I park it in my basement

 

thats a Schwinn not a Specialized...

 

this looks good

 

i could never ride a beach bike. Mountain bike or walk. Or skateboard like I used to when i was younger. I found an old one the other day. Almost died when I was trying to kickflip and I hit a pebble

 

I'm about to be house broke too so likely won't get another bike until early next year.... but can't make any promises if I start getting antsy before then and someone wants to buy the SV

Lol I'll make you a good deal

This is true, it wouldn't be hard to strip it down - just need a different headlight and swap the clip-ons for standard bars. But wanting to try something different so we'll see

 

youd need to take over payments on my HD

 

You shoulda just bought a big boy Harley to begin with

 

Im going to trade the Harley in for a Ducati Scrambler Icon:

 

Hey, quit giving him ideas!

 

Continental makes the 18" TKC80 in a rear tire. This guy just put it on the front. I might do that when the tires wear out. Or Ive been looking at Kenda Big Block or Shinko 705s

 

any reason why a dirt helmet could not be used on the street?

 

Nope. Just as long as you have some eye protection (goggles or glasses) per the VA MC law

 

I'll be interested to compare going from an R6 to a DRZ for insurance.

Speaking of which, you dual sport guys run collision? Also do yall run protective vests/jackets? Seen good reviews on Alpinestars Bionic Action Jacket and Fox Racing Titan Sport Jacket, Used to wearing my leathers for forever, and I have been out of the dirt since I was 19.

Doing a ton of research on gear since I won't be getting a bike for at least a month or two till my kid is born. Not having a bike in the garage is bumming me out though.

 

ill always have that. Ive taken a bee or a bigger bug to the windscreen before (or my leg), and that got me scared hah. The leg one actually hurt.
