Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Totally agree. These bikes are absolute weapons on the track or back country roads but around town and in the super slow and tight twisties…no so much. Here’s mine!

 

Careful don’t scratch my WR450f!

 

I got the Navi’s BMW GS-inspired ADV luggage all sorted today while procrastinated on honeymoon packing.

Spoiler: ADV AF

 

i love it
truly fantastic

 

Just placed a order for these. I know will be awhile before I see them. But that's OK.

 

I just dropped some money on bar risers and foot peg lowerers in an effort to stretch out my body on the bike and make it more comfortable. If $400 can save me about $5k it’s totally worth it.

 

All this talk about the FZ-09 @Fulton246 go buy it. https://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/d/charlotte-yamaha-fz/7487525712.html

 

I already have a 2017 FZ-09. Don't need 2. This one caught my eye, tho. https://greensboro.craigslist.org/mcy/d/summerfield-2013-cb-1100-abs/7487173767.html
He had it listed for $5k a couple of weeks ago. I'll wait till he drops it to $4k and then throw out an offer.

 

Avon discontinued the Distanzia tire in 2016!?!?

How was I unaware of this. I freaking loved those things. I need to swap rubber more often. Had I known I would have bought one last brand new set…


I don’t think there’s a sticky replacement like it.
Anyone know of one?

 

I can’t keep up with what you have That would be sweet if you could get it for $4k don’t know what the market is for those but even $4500 seems like a good deal.

 

The last of the air cooled UJMs

on my short list for sure.

 

No way! When I took my safety class, the instructor stopped us as we watched a little Rebel make it's way across the lot towards us, carrying a VERY tiny old lady. She and the instructor chatted for a minute and, after she left, he told us that she had finally passed the course after 4 attempts. Pretty inspirational!

As for bikes owned, I'm getting ready for #5! https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/d/newtown-square-2007-triumph-speed-triple/7481424141.html

Looked hard at a few FZ09's but, for the price above, I just can't pass that up! Plus it's same color scheme of the Street I just sold! So... road trip with my youngest daughter on Thursday!

My list:
Ninja 300
CBR F4i
CRF 230M
Street Triple
Coming Soon - Speed Triple (hopefully!)

 

Mine is still at the tow yard, haven’t seen it yet. I assume insurance is going to total it.

That old lady is awesome, inspiring for sure! And the Speed Triple looks nice hope all goes smooth.

 

i gotta ask, any pics of your helmet?

 

I am still waiting for pictures of his x-ray...

 

I’ll post pics of my gear in a bit. Helmet looks good surprisingly, no major damage so must not have hit my head too badly. I didn’t tumble very far think I was about 10ft from the wreck. I landed face down and they cut my jacket and pants off before rolling me over. Felt like an eternity laying there on the pavement. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my bike still vertical and wedged in the front bumper of her VW Tiguan. Also could see my right leg pointing in a direction it shouldn’t have been.

 

If you guys want to see inspirational just Google Ardys Kellerman. 4 time IBR finisher and first woman rider to ride 1 million certified miles on BMW motorcycles.

 

Crazy! Glad you are alive!
