Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Slowed down at work a little this evening and didn’t feel like working on paperwork so I installed the temp gauge and Tach, unfortunately the Temp Gauge is defective so I called TrailTec and they said that all I have to do is email a picture of the screen being blank and my invoice (not purchased from them) and they’ll replace it.

 

That's probably the technical name too. good looking!

For some reason I feel like the Shoei helmets always fit me the best and are the most comfortable. They also "feel" more protective too. Not sure why

 

Same boat here, I would like one of the bigger, more road oriented, ADV bikes but a naked bike would be fun also if I could keep the ADV riding position or at least have more legroom than on the Z400 that I road at the MSF class.

 

ya ive been leaning towards naked bikes more and more i love the r7 but eh i like the naked bikes more

 

hey all question!


my coworker is wanting either a small atv or a dirtbike for his 5 year old son and is wondering how to limit the speed on them! i know an atv its a screw up top but a dirtbike i have no idea ive never ridden smaller ones that were limited!

so for all of you with little ones that ride could you let me know how that works so i could let him know!


ill be honest he needs to get his son a bike/atv so it will force him to get something so he can get out and do stuff other then work the dude is hitting a mid life crisis at early 30s! because all he does is work!

 

Fun day, this fell into my hands (the left bike!).

$1250 for a clear title, great condition, running and riding 09 DR200SE with a complete and almost running parts bike (missing title) for it. It's a really nice riding bike!
Gotta love estate sale finds.

 

oh nice! i was about to guess a dr350! my dad has one im gonna try and see if we can bring it back to my place and get it running so we can ride some this summer!

 

Racetech has a good rep with the Honda 300 guys. I'm personally going with Rally Raid level 1(level 2 will raise)....as it will lower the suspension for my short ass

 

Thanks! Lol I chose all bold colors for my gear this time around, hopefully I’ll be slightly more visible to drivers. And agreed Shoei fits me well and they’re nice quality lids.

 

Agreed, it’s stupid money to pay for a face shield but it’s the best accessory I’ve bought for riding.I bought one about 6 months ago so I can’t comment on the long term reliability but it works great and I prefer it to the clear/sunglasses combo I was using.

 

Second weekend in a row that I was able to get over to my storage unit and work on the cbr. Parts are slowly coming in.

 

I wasted 20 minutes thinking the CB125X finally made it

 

Well is it a 750?

Im heading to the mountains!

 

Yeah, it was the Transalp, Tenere 700 world raid, KTM 890, some battery powered bike, and maybe something else

 

Made it to the mountains, hit some whoops, but that trail that I wanted to try... I think my bike is too big for it (or my skills arent there yet) had to turn around, which was sketchy by myself


Still had some fun

 

Don’t even get a teaser pic of your wr450f?

 

I get photochromatic lenses for my eyeglass prescription for that reason of not needing to change glasses. I'm sure that faceshield is awesome but with the way mine always seem to get scratches I'm just not sure I can bring myself to spend that. I have a Shoei Neotech and a Schuberth C3 Pro as well as an Arai Corsair so I admit to being something of a helmet snob.

 

beer : 30

 

Probably catch hell for doing it but just order a Klim Apex jacket for myself. Told g/f it's too much money for her to spend on me for Christmas but they're on closeout now and almost half off. I can't afford Klim stuff at full price.

Lot features for the money and Goretex will be a big plus.

 

That berm is coming together nicely!
