Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

So.. I need a small plate to hold my OHM sticker on the CT110. It’s the same size as a standard license plate registration sticker. A buddy of mine has the shit to 3D print but sucks at design. Anyone here willing to hook a brother up with a .stl file?

2x1.75” plate. 0.25” thick, a 0.25” hole with center at 0.625 from the left edge of the long side, and 0.3” from the short side.

 

If you can wait till Monday I can knock that out in a few minutes, but I don’t have a modeling computer at home.

 

I’m in no rush, and thank you!!

 

Perfect job for tinkercad lol

Should be able to export to .stl from that link or adjust as needed.

 

Beer fueled tangent: tinkercad rocks. It's amazing how complex of things you can make extremely easily.

 

I have never tried tinkercad… I will have to check that out. I have always used rhino for modeling but I have a 10 year old Mac and home that doesn’t play nice with rhino.

 

It's about as simple as a CAD program as you can get. Pretty sure it's legitimately aimed at elementary school audiences but for simple little things it works great

 

The Husky Norden 901 keeps popping up in my feed and its starting to get me itching... I currently have zero car or bike payments and love that, but damn is it good looking and my F800GS is starting to get a little long in the tooth..




This might have to happen in the spring.. we'll see... may also depend on what happens with the new Tigers

 

Really want to ride the Supermoto. I’m thinking Husky may be a little pricey to own but other than that want one!

 

Husky is def bad ass. Only real issue for me would be the lack of dealer support in my area. I do most of my own work but like the thought of having a dealership reasonably close at hand just in case. Back in the later '80s I had a Cagiva street bike and beyond where I bought it there was no one around when I had any issues. There were issues.

 

I was amazed that I actually have husky dealers near me. One about 45 minutes south and two 1.5hrs north.

I'm now killing work time looking at the tiger 1200, too. If only those didn't start at $20K I can't justify that

 

Honestly, the 850 sport isn’t missing much for me. Cruise would be nice is all.

 

A local dealer has a Ducati (Urban Enduro) Scrambler so I went to check it out for shits and giggles and to see how the riding position was for me. Definitely liked how it felt...but then I saw this Indian.

now I gotta look into this thing (FTR1200) and see what the reviews say about it. Too many nice looking bikes out there!

 

It’s pretty fun, stupid fast, at least 2022 I rode was. Sits a little high/feet a little far back and not the most practical but if you want a stupid grin on daily it’s a fun ride!

 

FTR1200's are a sexy bike, I've heard great things about them.

I’ve always been a Yamaha guy but the FTR felt faster than the MT-09 and Tracer 9 I test rode same day as the FTR. Might not be but felt it for sure.

 

First i wanted and Indian Scout Bobber

then i found the FTR and had to have it

eventually I had to be a bit more realistic about what I could afford and my street riding skill level. But one day...

 

I like that Indian, but the kind of riding I do would not work on that bike. Usually I am on long hauls with my club or my wife. 2000 mile 3 day weekends aren't an oddity for me.

 

Lots of options for that for sure. What’s your ride of choice?

 

@BkerChuck did you change your name? Only 16ish more years until the kids are hopefully out of the house so I can do long trips.
The other day 3 bikes pulled up to the tavern I was at and it was the parents and their son riding them.
