Thanks! you nailed it.

 

Anyone have experience with Ends Cuoio saddle bags? I'm looking for a decent bag to put on my Bobber that's small but still big enough to carry a few things since I commute to work on it. I like the look of these EC bags, but have never seen one and they have to be ordered from Italy.

This is not my picture or my bike, but this is the bag I am looking at. I have a red Corbin seat and want the red stitching on the bag.

 

That's not only a great beginner bike, but something that should keep you satisfied for a long time. Very versatile bike, and like others said you can do some light sport touring on that!

 

Ah, now the asking price makes sense. Does the bike have a salvage title?

 

I didn’t ask. Here are some pictures he sent me.

 

Welcome from another older noob. I'm 39 now and hadn't been on a motorcycle for over 20yrs. I just finished a MSF rider course to get my endorsement also. I'm hoping to get a bike this spring/summer but we'll see after the Taco gets some new leaf springs.

 

That thing is thrashed. The seller would save himself some time if he would include the damage in the ad.

 

and lowered the price

 

Awesome! I'm glad I'm not the only one! My wife said it's a mid-life crisis. I hope to have many more
Good luck finding the right bike. There are so many options.

 

Ive been riding for 11 years. Havent found the right bike. Its probably me, but I like to test out many bikes. And by test, I mean buy and then ride for a year, and then sell

Im on a fun one now. Ducati Scrambler. Ill keep it for a while, but not forever.

 

Definitely plenty to choose from. I'm kinda set on the CRF250/300L Rally for the riding I'll be doing but I really like those Ducati Scramblers(mostly the Desert Sled & Urban Enduro versions).

How do you like the seating position on the Scrambler? I need to go sit on one and see how it fits.

 

What say the peanut gallery on the HD Pan America??

 

I don't mind the looks.

Edit: Will have to get more info after the launch but probably bigger than I would ride.

 

My DRZ400SM. Where's my sumo crew

 

Its definitely close to the bars. Or the bars come way back. Plan is to change the bars out this year. But no internal wiring for me @grdgz97

Im still working on the saddle bag brackets that Ive been making. But ill go out on Wednesday for a quick little ride to get everything moving.

 

I currently own 3 bikes and sometimes think that's not enough. I'd love to add a smaller dual sport to the stable because I think I might enjoy it. A large ADV bike, likely a Super Tenere, for 2 up travel where we want to camp off the bike would be nice. Problem is the garage space, the money, and the fact I don't want to give up any of the bikes I already own.

 

I could see you becoming addicted to the adventure bike lifestyle. You have practically ridden all of the paved roads in America, might as well ride all of the dirt roads now.

 

Actually I still need miles in 18 of the 50 states. Trying to talk g/f into going to a FJR meet later this year in CO and riding out. Meet is on the western side of the Rockies and planned right we could add 6 states to our list of places we've ridden in on an FJR. Big issue is just not having enough vacation time to do it at a leisurely pace like we would like. 1700+ miles one way our house to the meet.

ADV bike would open up a lot of additional opportunities though......

 

Used to have a 400sm with big bore/cams/fcr
Raced a yz450 supemoto
Then ktm 690e converted

But....ive sold them all
