Not really selling so much as open to moving to the next bike as always



Swing by South Dakota and check it out anytime!

 

Is that a class? You can go do all those things just by taking it in the dirt more haha

 

There are classes near me, but I haven't really looked into them. Id rather just figure it out myself. Just need to find some dirt like that.

Plus all the electronics on my bike, i might need to take a class haha! Its way more advanced than my truck.

 

Ride it up FPK, that should be fun!

 

I'm a big fan of classes, I learned a lot of practice drills and things to do to help me improve on my own that I wouldn't have otherwise. I guess they exist somewhere on youtube, but instructor feedback during the drill was pretty great.

It's like yoga, on your own it's good, but having someone there to correct your form makes it even better

 

@Fulton246 when are we doing it?

 

Any week but July 25th works for me. I'm less than 2 hours from the Lake Tahoma Dam. Not sure what route you would take to get there. I go I-77 to I-40 then stay on that hwy all the way there. We could meet up somewhere along I-40, maybe in hickory or somewhere that is convenient for both.

 

SV front tire is being sporadic on me.

Rides perfectly smooth 90% of the time. Sometimes it tries to turn in hard and I’m fighting it to not let it. Very rarely I’m fighting it to turn in and it doesn’t want to. Always at lower speeds that I’ve noticed so far. If it was every turn I’d be able to isolate it but it’s on and off and changes. Tire looks fine. Rides fine most of the time. Not the terrain, I checked to make sure I wasn’t just hitting a crack in the asphalt weird. Any pointers?

 

I agree - we should do it @fatfurious2

 

We can do the easy way haha. But after all of that riding, id probably camp there

 

I need to go explore FPk more, I’ve never done anything other than what I consider the “main” route - start near the groups of mud pits then head to the top and exit off the top of mountain.

 

Just saw on Instagram that all of the BDR films are now available free on youtube in full length for those of you needing an ADV itch scratch

We ride!

 

Purdyyyy

 

Thank you! I just started riding 3 years ago. Started on Mt07, got a R3 for my wife, loved the R3, so I got a 636, wanted more speed so I sold the 636 and got the Zx10r. Now I also own a 2023 Grom

 

That 10R will be all the bike you'll ever need. I think the modern 600's are a perfect balance for power and agility for street riding, a little stiff/tight for commuting on but for canyon, backroads, etc the 600 is sweet. And plenty fast if you come across the blue and white.

 

I commute my 600 daily 100miles

 

Another Grom owner!

 

Checked neck bearings?

 

Haven’t checked anything yet ha. PO only put a few miles on it in the year he had it so I’m hoping I’m just overthinking a tire profile I’m not used to ha. Will look closer next week, thanks!
