Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I love the AT. Sometimes I would like a bigger tank, but at the same time, i got this bike to go on offroad adventures. Yes it can tour, and ~250 miles to a tank is more than I've ever been able to do before. Im more than happy with this bike. No plans on changing it for a long time.

 

Still haven't finished painting because I hate painting.. but organization is basically done.

 

Nice ride. Now you can go full crawler build with the tacoma

I have that issue with my Husky when I'm on the highway or don't take a break for a while. Lots of vibration from that big single. Grip puppies that @BkerChuck recommended help a lot

I'm kinda in this boat...I love a bike that's light weight and rips the backroads with little effort. Some of the sport tourers and ADVs feel too bulky/heavy, but they're so much better on the highway and I know I could rack some miles on one. You really need more than one bike, the do-it-all always sacrifices a little somewhere

 

Thank you! Honestly though I love the Tacoma as is and going full idiot with ton's and 40's that a lot of people do just isn't what I want right now, would cut way to much into riding time. But having another truck to enjoy with the kid and take camping def is exciting. All of my focus right now is getting it ready to camp at the Quarry Run dual sport I have coming up which should really hopefully just be the installing of the new hitch receiver.

 

Sweet boots. My Sidi Crossfires came in yesterday but I forgot to snag a pic during my excitement.

I jacked up my neck sleeping earlier this week. woke up on tuesday with a muscle on each side tight enough that it hurt to turn my head either direction. Certainly made for some interesting riding lol.

Food looks good too. I might have to get mexican for lunch now.

wow...lol what are the chances. that's awesome.


Send some prayers my pup's way friends. He may be having a surgery today. Found out at his last vet visit a couple weeks ago one of his teeth was cracked, they're doing some scans to assess it and see if it needs to be extracted. Fingers crossed it doesn't because I really don't wanna put him under if I can avoid it. But if it's causing pain or at risk of infection it's gotta go. Doesn't seem to be causing him much pain from what I've seen...but infection is definitely a real concern.

 

Prayers coming his way.

yea these aches have got to stay away. Dont get old dude

 

Appreciate it man

yeah never fun to feel the age coming on lol

 

Pro Tip: when using pano mode, don't use the full slider. do like 1/3 or half and it nets a much better, usable picture rather than being all distorted.

That said you're pretty close to the truck so distortion will prob be unavoidable at that range. But for pictures from a distance it does wonders

 

Nice.

Sidebar: is that a side load conex? if so, I likey..

 

Seen two guys with some old flat track bikes in the bed of a truck.

 

the one on the right looks like a crf honda
the pick up was a toyota?

 

Hells yeah! Full Access container! My toy box!

 

Not sure on the bikes or the truck. Haha I ended up going around them. The passenger was asleep and the driver had his face in his phone.

Although, There is a race tomorrow.

Right on! Has to be the perfect setup over an end load.

 

Construction on the local highway just started, planned 3 year project, and in the last 2 days I've almost been hit 4+ times while lanes splitting. I'm doing legal, safe speeds too. It's forcing me to upgrade my exhaust so I'm better heard on the road so I just purchased a LeoVince slip on. Had to order it to Arizona and then ship to my local store. Gotta love Cali BS!

Forgot how anxious I get waiting for parts. haha! I'm stoked!

 

hell ya man it looks great! bummer about the hitch carrier thou

ive been trying to find a two door base model with the 7 speed thats in a good price range but nothing! found one the other day for 57! and it was nothing had next to no options besides the locker!

 

sooo trade in soon? lol

 

yo a 3rd gen toyota pickup!

i had one of those when i was 16 loved that little truck wish i didnt sell it...

 

Is that a wide glide front end on there. The compensator sprockets are weak in those 96 motors. I just sold my 09 Deluxe and picked up a super clean 2002 Low Rider. I know going backwards, but I was just not impressed with the 96.

 

May only be 10hp, but it would smoke the heck out of any Grom out there. No pun intended!
