Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Oh man, night time riding would be so cool!

 

It’s actually nuts at this point. At this rate they just keep asking more and more each year…with no end in site. You would like to say that switching to another brand may work, but all of them are getting pricey. Not just the KTM and Husky’s.

 

Recently went to Maggie Valley NC and rode the Smokies with a group. Had to do the Tail of the Dragon!

 

There's a national forest about 45 minutes away that I'd love to have it for. Hundreds of miles of trail that range from 4x4 to ATV to single track. I can do 50% on the F800GS and I'd love something low maintenance for the rest of it that I can throw in the 4Runner or on a hitch carrier.

 

Not sure if anyone has some time to kill next week. I will be at BrushyMountain next week if anyone wants to come out and join in.

My buddy has a plated Alta and riding with him is nuts. It's so quiet. I'd love a plated electric DB for the stealth alone. It would still need plates because you can't be any of the places I go even on the legal main roads without a plate.

Funny I was thinking just a moment ago how I love the sweet smell of 2smokes! so maybe they will come out with some sort of air freshener that smells like it, and you can hang it on your handle bars on an e bike.

 

Going to check out the GS1300 tomorrow after work, at some special event. Im probably more excited about the free pizza though

 

My neighbor takes his electric scooter to the local golf course and runs their paved cart roads like a race track, at night. You could try that

 

Pretty pic. But snow sucks. I work outside year round, so I can say that.

 

Paddle on. Dune hunting mode engaged!

Got this paddle damn near 8 or 9 yrs ago as a take off from a shop my buddy worked at locally. Date code indicates made midway through 2007! Tire is used maybe once or twice a year on my bike, keep it out of the sun in the garage and the rubber is still soft n easily spooned on.

 

I would absolutely love a 250 equivalent electric dirtbike. Go scout hunting area without scaring animals. When prices get more reasonable and battery life/range gets better, I'll absolutely get one

 

I have never giggled more like a school girl as I romped on a surron around a neighborhood that my buddy had.

The idea is sound but technology (range vs weight) just isn't there for something more than a novelty

 

If I could get a Surron for what I think they're worth ($1000-1500ish) I'd love one. You can get a real nice dirtbike for what they cost. I've got a Rad bike, it's fun. I want 30hp and 60 miles and big enough for a 6' 225lb guy. The Beta is just too small

 

Huh. Spooning before paddling... not the order I would expect.

 

Sometimes you gotta warm her up before having fun!

Which is funny, always set your tires in the sun to warm up before trying to spoon on a rim!

 

First of the mods put on the KTM - put some spools and these Techspec tank pads on.



I'm hoping to hit 150 miles this weekend to do an oil change. I just want to rev it out so badly.

 

Quite a turnout

 

Indeed. Where to?

 

Everyone just looking at the new gs1300 I imagine
