Tacoma only gets 87. Although on 87 it pings....on 93 it does not. i was running 93 pre pandemic when it was less than $2/ga...but that ended as prices climbed.

 

I go to the next town over to fill up on ethanol free 93 gas... at $6.40/gallon right now

The other vehicles get 87 octane at Costco

 

dunno if any o' you kids ever heard of them Vincents from across the pond. Nice Bikes. Looks like a good movie, too.

@Mazdadan has a real nice one that he frequently rides, I am sure he will post in here soon


thats a great website though, lots of nice videos

 

Add me to the ethanol free group. It's the only thing I run in my motorcycles, lawn mower and other small engines. I am very fortunate in that I have 3-4 stations within 15 min of my house that have ethanol free. Two have 87 and two have 93. The 93 is over $5 per gallon but less than $6.

 

Already spending money on the ktm. Have a couple things I'm interested in also. But hard to find because of low stock or no stock.

 

What you looking for? Edge Powersports in SLC has been helpful in ordering KTM powerparts and they have gotten here relatively quickly (2ish day process time + transit)

 

I'll check them out.

 

Just got the call and my 2022 KLX 300 camo is being assembled today and will be ready to pick up tomorrow. I will pick it up on Saturday though. I don’t ride on Fridays. Too many close calls on Fridays so I just choose not to ride that day. Anyway very excited.

 

Nice!! Congrats!


Let us know how you like it!!

I’m still thinking a 300SM would be fun

 

10 hours later...





Got the PO to come down $300 after I noticed that the tires, while full o' tread, are from... 2012! So, free tires!

Main concern after that is that the clutch is HEAVY AF! Gonna give a good lube w/ silicone and see what's what...

 

Been waffling over if I wanted a bigger naked bike or to dabble in the ADV life come next season after a year on the 390 Duke.

Went to the local powersports place to pick up a part, and they had an 890 ADV and a 890 Duke.

Took me about 11 seconds to decide which is next. Looks like the offroad barkalounger is in my future

 

Nice!

 

That a real good looking machine.

 

All I see from a lot of Triumphs is:

 

Thanks! Yes, it's a clean machine! Just hoping nothing crazy pops up!

Why can I not see that???

 

All by itself in the corner of the basement.

 

What year?? Looks like 05-07? watch out for that plastic tank warp if/when you do the air filter. Now you have 2 Triumphs?

 

Saw a Navi listed for $2500. Offered $1900. It turned out to be a no-go.

Saw another one in NY for $2k. Didnt offer because 1. 6+ hour drive one way, 2. Truck looks really funny in NYC. If I really want it, Ill send @uurx to go pick it up for me
