Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I'm real happy with it so far. Granted that's only one ride in, but still initial impressions are great.

For reference for you and @Tatts521 , I have a real long torso. My inseam is only 32". I'd say if your height comes from your torso, xl is the call, if your legs are longer and torso is average, a large might fit better.

Edit: their size chart wasn't too far off, I don't think. Like I said in another post I measured a 42" chest, so went for an XL off of their very confusing chart..\

 

i think I use 4 fingers for the clutch since it's always pulled most or all of the way in, but i always cover (and use) 2 fingers for the clutch. i think i'm used to 2-finger braking from mountain biking and plus, I don't want to do a full 4-finger grab on that front brake.

 

some people out here switch their MTB brakes to match their moto - Front R and Rear L, but i've not had a problem knowing which side was the front brake

 

did you know that in europe they run their mtn bikes like we run our motorbikes?
its common place for them to run their front brakes to their right lever on their mtn bikes, like how motorcycles typically are..
i was not aware of this at all until only a couple years ago

 

On the subject of jackets, I have an Alpinestars Drystar jacket in size medium. I am 6’ 3” and 185 lbs, fairly lanky. The jacket fits me like a second skin, which I think is good because I don’t want the armor shifting around in a fall.
With that said, it is very well engineered at the flex points and doesn’t really limit my range of motion.
A large or XL would come down to my waist more, but it would also be kind of baggy on my torso.

 

these older bikes are so much cooler than the new ones

Probably because passing your bicycle test also gives you a license to ride a motorcycle/scooter at least that's the way it was in the old days in Poland.

 

1st ride to meet up with @4x4Runner this year. Also maiden voyage for my saddle bag mounts. Theyre ugly, but lets hope they perform

 

Didnt fall off. Need more adjustments to keep them on..

 

Any damage to the front of the right hand side one from sitting in front of the exhaust like that? You shoot any fireballs out the exhaust at it?

 

hard cases would look so much better on there

 

I need them saddlebags like @fatfurious2 has! Took a lil scoot around town and stopped for lunch. To go container barely fit in the swing arm bag....sideways!

 

Since we're talking Scramblers... 800 units limited edition Fasthouse Desert Sled.
