Hell yeah. I'm down east in Pullman but grew up in Mount Vernon. Ellensburg is a great spot to be for riding access.

 

If you haven't yet moved up to the Garmin Zumo XT here's your chance.

https://www.motorcyclegear.com/street/moving_sale/miscellaneous_items/garmin/zumo_xt_gps.html

On sale for $399.99. Best price I've seen it go for yet.

 

Damn. I paid 550

 

Buy another and sell your old one for $450 after the sale passes.

 

It might depend on how lightweight your rack is...

 

@w.adventures you see the new one with the moto style front fender?? this thing really looks the part

That’s a proper motorcycle right there! I am excited to see what the future 2030 one will look like when I will be able to afford it

 

It's just too bad those new models are not going to be available in the US.

 

Damn that looks good. Id buy one

 

or you can actually find one in stock!

 

i heard its gonna be an EV

damn really?? that would be a shame, but not surpising
though I suppose adding a dirt bike style front fender isnt too hard either





I mean shit if @fatfurious2 could do it

 

@fatfurious2

I've not watched it, but figured you'd like it




Found this too

 

You might be right

 

My next bike will be the electric Triumph. The real question is whether I park it next to my gas Triumph or not.

If I were looking for an electric bike, I'd probably have a close look at this. I'm also interested to see the production version of Ducati's MotoE bike.

 

Ooooh, that's purdy. It's looks like a Street/Speed Triple. That would look so nice next to my D675!

 

I got in my bar bag today and took the time to build it out. I’m open to suggestions if anyone thinks I missed anything big. I copied @cynicalrider on the bags and I’m glad I did, they’re the perfect size.

It’s primarily tire changing stuff, tools and emergency first aid.

 

You might be able to consolidate tire spoons and axle nut tools into one with something like this

Personally I carry a handpump as it will never run out of air, a multi tool / leatherman for needle nose pliers, and some JB stick to patch holes / cracks in cases.

What handlebar bag is that. looks bitchin.

 

Ooo good call on the multi tool and JB weld. I’m going to pick some up too.

 

Heres the "kit" that might save you some https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/tusk-aluminum-tire-iron-with-axle-wrench-kit-p
