Ha Haaaaaa

 

Well didn't you just have a hell of a fun day haha

 

Now we just have to design a DOT helmet that incorporates a feedbag. I'll be reaching out to everyone here via PM to crowdsource startup funds

 

Bro, do you even ride!? Or do you just spend all your time looking at bikes? Looks like you are having a great trip over there!

 

Went and sat in a 2023 zx10r today. Might be my next bike. They already have it discounted by $1000 won’t be ready to purchase until July so maybe they will be discounted further?

 

My back hurts just looking at that.

 

I’m a kawi fan. Haven’t ridden the current zx10r, but the ones I have rode have been very user friendly with terrific power curves.

 

I have a bad back @ 55years old BUT with good core strength it’s not a problem. Pain is temporary but joy last forever.

 

My 2015 Triumph Daytona 675

 

Triumph gang let's go! I had a Street Triple RX 675 and now I'm on a Street Triple RS 765. I've always liked the look of the Daytona.

 

I would like to own one in the future!

 

Yeah, it was love at first sight with the D675. I needed a new bike after my "starter" GSXR600 crapped out on me. I saw in a local July 4th sale that they were $10k out-the-door, and said "yes, please!" She's been my daily commuter for over 6 years now.

Gotta love the ST765, though. I know it's a small thing, but I really wanted to try and retrofit that rear seat from the ST765.

My buddy and I are in the middle of restoring a 2002 Daytona 955i he was given because it wasn't running. It's eventually coming to my stable, though!

 

how everyone been lately? havent done much to klx but ride it around a bit when its nice out

 

That's why I like ADV bikes, they’re both comfortable and fun. I can barely get off and walk to get gas after riding a sport bike.

 

Easy to run power to a tankbag. They make a power pass through with a SAE end you just plug your battery tender lead into. That's what I use now. Inside my tankbag the power splits off to 2 cigarette lighter sockets. One has my Sena charging cable always plugged into it, other is available to charge my phone or iPod and I have a USB powered short led light bar I can plug in to find stuff in the tankbag after dark.

 

Mine gas 2 side pockets and the large main compartment. Right side pocket has the rain cover and that's it. Left side pocket holds a small spray bottle filled with Novus plastic cleaner for face shields, a small microfiber cloth, a small bottle of sunblock, an old 35mm film container full of ibuprofen with a couple of Benadryl and a couple of Zyrtec. Main compartment carries my wallet, case for me Garmin with my ipod tucked inside, a digital camera, and other small items I want access to. On long rides I keep a bag or bof of trail mix or hard candies. The lid of the bag has some small elastic loops in it, these hold a pen, tire pressure gauge, and a small screwdriver.

 

That's a great idea. I'd be all over it if I weren't nervous about my stator not being able to keep up as is.

 

Keep in mind,it only pulls any power when something is plugged in. I try to time my usage for when I know I'll be on interstates for example.
