I like these guys for their Harley content but they went a built the most expensive stunt Monkey they could.

You should come my way…I think this is the best riding on the east coast

 

Meet me in Dolly Sods area Saturday?

 

I would totally join you this weekend, but I got a father/son clinic scheduled at Highland Park.
If you ever wanna join me for some hard enduro, I got an extra bike and gear.

 

So I am picking up a new 390 adventure next week to take some people out that wanna give dual sport/adv riding a shot.

These little bikes are pretty cool for the money. The new version comes with spoke wheels. All that is needed is a better skid, bar risers, pegs and a taller seat

 

But back to your invite…I would be down to travel or host a riding event if you guys wanna link up. I am 1 hr north of Asheville, in a little town called Burnsville.

 

this is very cool

the instructional/rental business you have been talking about is a true labor of love, i love the work you are putting together

 

I don't have the skills for hard enduro. Im taking my AT out with limited skills for bikes, but truck mentality.. we will see how that goes..

Plus @w.adventures wants me to get a wheelie shot on camera, so we will see..

 

Oh you got the skills bro. You just haven’t given yourself the confidence…and when I say hard enduro, I am just as stoked to do easy enduro
It’s all about getting out and trying something new in the arena of riding. One never knows the excitement/experience they will have until you’re there.

This is my passion. Getting people out, the best is after the ride. The smiles and all the pumped people talking about the logs they conquered or the creek they went thru.
It is now my mission to take you on some double/single track. You’re gonna have a ball, and your riding skills on road/dual sporting will go thru the roof.
The confidence you will only solidify your riding skills, and vice versa. You got this!

 

So I've been looking for a replacement sport / naked bike ever since I foolishly sold my FZ-07 late last season. And in my several month long search for the perfect sport bike I ended up WITH

A Yamaha Warrior 1700...

I don't know what happened, but I own a 2 wheeled barge now. I saw it pop up on FB for only $2k and the dude was only a ten minute drive, so I just couldn't pass that up. 250 miles this week so far and I'm loving every bit of it!

 

id need a job that pays like mine lol

 

Thanks brutha, it’s all about creating memories. I have always been a class clown of sorts and a captain of the team.
I enjoy getting the best out of people whatever we are doing…chances are I will make ya laugh on the way or at least we will eat good
Motorcycles are my main passion, and like many of you it’s about the only way I can truly detach myself from reality…erase the brain of all the bs of the daily grind.
I think there is a lot of room for improvement for our sport in regards to training and preparation.

 

Looks like it sits up high off the ground for a cruiser, which I think is a plus. Looks comfy…hard to beat the FZ though. I rode the hell out of an FZ01 for along time.
My riding buddy sold his for an MT10, which is bad to the bone! Power wheelies for days!

 

I'm a tiny dude at a whopping 5'7", but I can almost flat foot it surprisingly. For how much of a boat it is I'm genuinely shocked at how well it handles, it feels so much lighter than it is in the corners. The biggest thing I miss from the FZ is the gas mileage... The barge gets a pretty sad 35 mpg

I still have the MT-09 on my list for potential bikes, but the MT -10 is a bit too much for me haha

 

Sounds like how I got the Navi - wasn't considering one but it popped up for dumb cheap so I bought it to flip it and then found out I actually really love it and ride it more than anything else now.

 

thanks for the info. Yeah last year I started to turn the petcock off every ride about a half mile away from my destination. I’ll add the

Thanks I will start using only ethanol free. Cleaned the carbs today and the bike is running much better.

have another issue though some reason my brake actuator pin thing snapped off today when driving around. Does anyone know if you can replace just the pin? I want to keep the cover as it’s just been painted.

 

Crutchfield of all places had the noco battery with free 2 day shipping. Guess I will be part of the cool kids club with a lithium battery.

 

That's not "just" a pin. It is however replacable but pretty damned near obsolete. Owning a vintage Honda myself, I know a few good sources and did a little searching for you.

Found you a NOS part on eBay.

 

That would be fun how many bikes you got to rent?
