Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Glad I bought a mesh jacket yesterday. 80* is hella hot coming off of a Utah winter!

Any suggestions on lighter weight pants? These Klim Switchbacks of mine are really nice, but quite thick for summer riding.

 

I wear Revit Airwave most of the time. Slip them over whatever you're already wearing and you're good to go.

 

This gonna be sacreligious but I don't even wear MC pants anymore. Just a heavy duty pair of Duluth Fire Hose pants. Just more versatile and I don't get swamp balls. Course rain sucks. Probably a crash would also suck.

 

Filled up the Navi for the first time today. I went 55 miles on .72 gallons for a MPG of 75. Nooooot too shabby considering I spent a lot of time at WOT trying to slipstream up to it's top speed haha.

Cost me a whopping $3.88 to fill with ethanol free premium good stuff.

 

Yeah, these klim pants are on par with, maybe even a little lighter than my firehose pants.

 

Good to know. Thats one of the pairs Ive been looking at.

 

@spencermarkd my CAD design is coming to life! Little bit more work to be done. Glad to have saved over $100

 

Pssh I get 100mpg on the Grom full throttle all the time. I must say it is great filling up with only a gallon of gas.

 

Do you feel superior to the plebians at the next pump with their 3500 gas dually??? LOL.

(Or the guy at the next pump with his 16 mpg Tacoma )

 

When I read the first half I was going to say my 1500/2500/3500 gasser experiences have always been better than my Taco/Tundra at the pump haha (just not in reliability).

 

Ooh, look at Mr. 16mpg over here!

 

Yeah yeah yeah, you and your fancy fuel injection

 

Put a deposit on this guy yesterday afternoon. Should have it next Saturday. Sold my Africa Twin last fall.

 

That thing looks so nice! Looking forward to hearing how it compares to the African twin

 

Man, every time I see the T7 I want one.

 

One FJR owner I know bought one of those about 2 years ago or so to have a lighter, smaller bike for when the FJR was more than he needed. Loves it and has brought it to several FJR events and allowed lots of test rides on it to other FJR peeps. Great bike and I've never heard anything bad about them. Congrats!

 

Speaking of FJR's, while I posted 1 of these elsewhere they belong here too

27.95 x 18.11 x 15.75 inches

 

Ignorant. What is this?? Been looking to upgrade from my 09 versys.

 

Looks like a Yamaha Tracer. Possibly a FJ-09?
