Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I didn't see anything. I also haven't tried to look them up either. I have no doubt there's better options though

 

I still want a vitpilen or svartpilen, I think they're the snazziest looking bikes. Futuristic retro mix that I just love.

 

They are such cool bikes! My other friend has a Svartpilen and takes such amazing pictures of it.

This particular Vitpilen is what sold me on the RC390. I really enjoyed the engine while riding it home for my friend.

 

I meeean j could always borrow it ya knooow

 

Lol no tag that looks something like this? But yeah those a pretty basic "armor" pads. Def nice they at least included them but i believe the assumption is that you would replace them with stronger armor. I usually just keep em in though.

 

I was just looking online at a new one being sold by a dealer in my area....always thought they were much more pricey. But maybe I was thinking of the 701s

Yeah, I wasn't expecting much for $60 for the set. This was more of a tip my toes in the water deal

 

I ran tech inspection for 2 years, tires are one of the main things we looked at. Big bikes chew up tires, and the Q5S is so soft. Better to be prepared, being in SoCal not like you won't need it soon enough anyway. Get up to Thunderhill sometime if you can, your S1K would be a hoot

 

I'll get around to it! I might try and do it tomorrow if I can be bothered to read the manual tonight and figure out the new mic I got to record a video.

 

Incredibly jealous. These are the types of trips I love/yearn for.

 

Who’s doing what today bike related? I am headed to go check out a Leatt one piece soft armor to go under my jackets.

Found a XXl on Marketplace for cheap just down the road.
Also while I am out I am going to check out a Rev’ It Jacket.

 

Lol well at least it came with pads

I was just surprised to see you say it looks fine for the track, i figured it was too close to the wear bars to run. Tbh I'm surprised the front lasted this long...They've been on since I think February? Commuting 40mi/day minimum 5 days a week plus weekend rides. But while I do ride spiritedly, I'm always smooth on the throttle, not chopping it so I'm sure that helps.

I'll get a full second set, maybe keep the current fronts on then throw the new ones on once they get too worn at the track.

 

Well I had a road trip scheduled, leaving today, but an emergency came up for my buddy coming with me and he had to cancel...so I might take off early and go look at some bikes then ride. Debating if I want to take the time off and do an extensive riding weekend or just go back to work for the week....either way money will be made, but one way more money gets spent lol.

 

It's real hard to see in the photo how close it is

 

I think I'm going to take the KTM out today!

 

sadly no bike still a bit cold plus i gotta put my truck back to stock so i can sell it! i might have found a fjc i want lol

 

do a wheelie!

 

It's no doubt low rung stuff, but did exceed my expectations

On vid

 

Fair. I ordered a couple tread depth meters to see. But I'm of the opinion it prob won't last past the first day at the track lol. Esp since I'll still be commuting on it until then.

 

yeee so then we can see the first drop! i mean first wheelie haha
