It just looks cool with knobbies.

 

i get that. Does look cool. But I wouldnt put that belly pan on

 

@FreshOldTaco when you get some knobbies, we can do this:

You guys were on the move! Thanks for sharing, looks like a really nice ride.
That dealership is massive!!! I looked it up.
That is also a real testament to how your buddy keeps up his machines. The hat some serious miles to clock on any piece of transportation, especially 2 wheels!

 

Reminds me of when I put knobbies on my naked sv650. It road well on smooth gravel roads.

 

Jealous of how the molle panel turned out! Looks great

 

That's why I only told him to do the tires!

 

Was just reading the latest daily reports for the Iron Butt Rally and learned my friend Lisa Rufo and her daughter Molly hit a deer around 5 am near Dekalb, IL. Molly is unhurt and Lisa being checked out at hospital. Lissa's husband Steven is continuing in the rally per Lisa's instruction. Sounds like bike might be toast. Glad they're not hurt worse but really hate to read about it.

Anyone near there willing to let someone borrow a bike for about 10 days? BMW GS would be the first choice as that's what she rides.

 

That looks fun, would love to ride some trails. Maybe I should get a T7...

Still deciding what bike to get. I'm going to keep the supermoto around but want something that's not as buzzy at highway speeds. Leaning towards an MT-09

 

Had an ‘18 MT09, fun hooligan bike.

 

I had a 14 FZ09. Was definitely fun, but I wouldn't want to take it offroad

 

I don't know if I'll ever go knobbies, to be honest. If anything I'd be more included to go smoother tire for more street grip and a psuedo sumo look. With how light the bike is it'll do gravel roads with just about any kind of tire haha

And like @fatfurious2 I do am confused by knobbie + belly pan combo. My next big project is a skid plate, though.

 

Fine. Here. No belly pan.

 

this looks better. No belly pan, function > form

These look awesome. Maybe Ill have to look for a Grom, instead of sending deals to @w.adventures

 

That built one I posted yesterday is only out in Maine, close enough for you I'd think?

I just got back from Maine. I was just there meeting with @SR-71A . Maybe he can scoop it and TW express it to Colorado when he goes in a couple months

EDIT: probaby only a 9+ hour drive for me

 

Yes they are and I love the CP3 engine

Yup had the same one, not the tool for that job... I like the versatility of an ADV bike but feel like I'd be on the street most of time, so keep gravitating back to a naked sport. Hmm what to do?
