Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Definitely a trade off. I like not having neighbors too close. Love that I have buffalo (bison) basically in my front yard, and I'm within driving distance to several ways to get outdoors and off grid. Lake, mountains, desert camping, all readily accessible.

I like having a city a couple hours away. Close enough I can go any time I want, but far enough a way that the crime and stupid aren't in my back yard.

 

Oh shit I didn't know there was a Durty Dabber in here.

Y'alls event was my first ever dual sport in '22.

I was so stoked to complete both days.

Went back in '23 and completed all heroes too (skipped a couple the first year).

A couple people used my hitch mounted tire changer that year.

The dust last year was nuts!

 

we have great diversity of food out here, EXCEPT bbq...there's a few spots but they're so few and far in between

Sheesh glad you're okay man. Weather's been good down here, been making the most of the storms and getting some snowboarding in. Detailed the bike, went for a nice ride on Sunday and got some pie at my usual stop, found some very unusual friends along the way. Hoping the weather holds for the week/weekend....and patiently awaiting my R3 that should be done any day now.

Spoiler

 

Super cool! I noticed your truck. Glad you could come ride with us. You’ve probably seen my mountain rig. Red 90 excab pickup straight axle

 

haha ya bbq is everywhere down here some good some amazing! just depends on where ya go!

yaaaa it was something lol i was glad that the light had just went red so nobody was in the intersection haha sadly its going back to being cold tomorrow for two days! like man tf how is it 80 today but 19 tomorrow!! also i cant see the pics haha ill look at them after work

 

Was it at the club house or whatever that lodge is on day 2 two years ago?

 

Completely not bike related, but I laughed and though @Calamity_taco would appreciate it as a fellow fan of some anime. Not sure how much any of these apply to anyone else, here.




I'm kinda not committed at work today, so you guys get to suffer.

 

Probably. I usually only drive it on Sunday because there are more trails that day. It’s not very road friendly.

 

When I feel like accelerating fast.

 

Good grief. What is that!? It honestly reminds me of Cloud's bike out of FFVII. Has a very brutal look to it.

 

haha thats funny but maaaan i got legos and like anime and star wars as well! that make me a red flag!?

 

Well Star Wars is apparently green unless you have a life size Stormtrooper, and Lego means you'll sell it all for profit later when it's out of production. The anime is the red flag, unless she likes it to. Then you are both red flags and that cancels.

 

That is a Yamaha V-Max the newer version.

 

i wish that would be kinda cool! uhh my legos are built and decorations sooo they stay lmao. ya we both like anime and she reads a lot of manga so i guess it works for us lol

 

Now you just need to get into Warhammer and you'll be the complete package!

 

Vmax has a cult following. The first version was fast af for the time. 1200cc v4.

Side note, part 2 of ff7 "rebirth" comes out tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited

 

I haven't played the remake. I'm old and played the original on PS1.

 

I remember a couple other built toyotas right after the creek crossing after the furnace part last year too. Like a 4runner and 2nd gen. Now I am bummed I prob won't be doing the event this year, going to try to do Michaux instead. You do the Quarry Run up in Hancock?

 

I got the OG for Christmas when I was 14. I bought a PS5 specifically so I could finally play the FF games I'd missed through the years. It's an absolute fantastic game that honors the original completely

 

Nice! Always loved the Vmax.
