5'11. Not sure on my inseam. Maybe 32? The Africa Twin has 2 seat positions. I sat on this one on low, and i could flat foot

 

Or... you could follow her on the African twin and then both ride back together. Suffer through the pain!

 

Are you getting one as well?

 

I don't have it yet

 

pfff hell no.... that pig is way too big and heavy!!!

you know me, im after something way better and smaller!!!!

 

Well it is the fastest car in the world. According to experts anyway...

just about turned 1k miles on the clock
oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, clean and lube the chain
finally put the black throttle cam in as well, will get to play with it tomorrow

 

Where is the 1000mile review? You still scared of the engine blowing up? Any regrets not getting the Honda 450?

 

Well, my daughter turned 16 recently, so I converted her pit bike (which I bought for her when she was 14 yrs old), into a dual purpose trail bike, completely Street Legal!
Now I just gotta get it registered and get her to take the MSF Rider Course so she can be on her way to get her M license!

 

Awesome! I am hoping my daughter will like riding.

 

no regrets not getting a crf450l, but i do often think i would have rather picked up an xr650l

but honestly the two bikes are worlds apart as we all know, so i wouldnt say it is a regret really just that i have a deep deep love for that old xr650l

i do still worry about the ktm though, it was more money than i wanted to throw down so in the event something happens it will sting more having to pay for whatever it is while still paying the thing off slowly , i think getting some engine management for some better A/F ratios would help put my mind at ease

my review of the bike would be pretty simple, if you want that shit eating grin after every ride no matter how short or long, this 500excf delivers without fail every single time

ive driven and owned some crazy cars, have rode and owned a bunch of different bikes, nothing compares to how i feel riding this thing absolutely nothing

its pure freedom to do and go where you so wish and desire (just shy of long open highway cruising, because I worry of melting the motor with this lean as f*ck factory map)

 

Turned 30k miles on my FJR1300 on my way home from work Friday. Oil and filter change, final drive oil and air filter changes. Will do a valve check and plug change this winter.

 

Glad to hear you folks are doing ok @fatfurious2

Yesterday I got my pillow top grips on and removed the factory decals before doing a little ride around town.

Older pic with the decals on as comparison.

All that for only 2 bikes!?

 

Girl got a quick wash, then we took a 140mi scoot! Beautiful day out! Couldn’t have been better riding! Get out and ride y’all!

 

Put new batteries in the wireless heated gear controller and put it back on the bike again until Spring. Morning rides will be I the high 40's this week.

Also, bought some of them Decibullz molded ear plugs. Don’t like the fit with my helmet. What plugs are y’all using?? I know we’ve had this discussion before.
