I want this one.

And so do i

 

Yeah the 501 or 500 are top in their class. I have owned one for years now, and it gets more use than any motorcycle I have.
Recently got an 890r and I have been taking it places I take my 500. It has been challenging, and fun for the most part

I want a new 501 but there is absolutely no reasoning behind it, as my 500 is tricked to the 9s.
I just love these bikes… my 350xcfw was also killer. You could use the whole powerband on that one. The 500 will get you going fast..quick.

 

Couldn't resist. I mean, you typed it out so perfectly...

How are you doing since the accident? Any long term issues?

 

im doing well thanks

nothing too bad, just a little random pain here and there, kinda typical/similar to other broken bones I have dealt with

 

That's good, I guess? I've never broken a major bone. *knocks on wood* I don't plan to, but never know what life has in store.

 

In my case I am sure it was a combo between perhaps not the greatest surgeon and a less than ideal rehab regiment

but yea between my left wrist and my right ankle/foot, def have some discomfort at time

 

That sucks man. Anything that'll keep you from your work or hobbies?

 

not really, it just flares up from time to time if i aggravate it

 

You'd think in this age of modern medicine they'd be able to set a bone properly and prevent ongoing aches and pains. Idk, maybe thats not realistic and you have the best case scenario?

 

Rite rite. That’s all I’m looking for. My dog has more thump when she farts, than the stock exhaust on the bike.

Right on!

Cools.

Awesome!

 

the wrist had some bone grafting and metal hardware installed so, I took the cast off prematurely and probably didnt do the full extent of PT... prob my fault i suppose

the ankle foot thing I dont know, it is what it is I guess but will see how things go in the future

I am often told I have childish tendencies and play with things that people expect kids to play with

 

Just call you Peter Pan, eh?

 

Oof. Yeah my ride home from Santa Barbara on Sunday evening was a little rough. Luckily I had the forethought not to drink too much the night before but between the mild hangover, dehydration, and the rapid heat increase going from Santa Barbara to Ventura, I was movin to get home ASAP. tinted visor also meant I was semi-racing the sunset home lol. Made me wonder...what happens if you don't have time to pull over and get the helmet off before throwing up?

Meh still saving money on those trips you decide to take the motorcycle. You're safe

It randomly decided to rain today for about 30 minutes while I'm at work. Gonna be a muggy ride home later

Quality company. I almost got one of their exhausts for my XSR before settling on Graves

 

Healing takes time but I don’t think you ever quite get back to 100%. It’s over a year later for me and I still have some pain and other parts just don’t feel like they used too

 

Right on! I’ve heard of them over the years, just didn’t know of anyone using them. Damn sure no one local to me.

 

My shoulder is always in some small amount of discomfort after breaking my collar bone and my hand and ankle have had some pains and aches as well. Nothing that's prevented me from ever doing what I've wanted though.

 

Kemimoto rack is on!





It feels so much sturdier than the bar clamp mount I had for the milk crate.
