Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I just forwarded you my email let me know if that doesn't go through. Yes would be fun to coordinate and I'll have to check that city data site. There are a good amount of HD dealers near me with a few in GLMC towns.

 

Perfect, I'm already plotting some stops over near you.

You have HD dealers in Langhorne, Media, and Chadds Ford.

 

Nice should be fun... and it doesn't need to be the same bike in all pics right?

 

Correct, you can use as many bikes as you want. I'll switch back and forth with the FJRs.

 

I think this will be more fun than last year's compass point deal. Murals in 2023 was a blast. This year could cause some weight gain though if you eat at some of the stops.

 

sir i think you have an addiction lol

 

does it need to be street legal?

the klx300r holds its weight well and at least to me its a very light bike but a crf250f is way lighter lol but air cooled sounds lame lol

 

Doesn’t want street legal. I am almost thinking he would have a fun time on a KTM 150xc-w or maybe even a kx112. Said hard no to old xr200

 

your coworker has no idea what they are talking about...

i would pass on the kx112, those superminis are legit race bikes that want to be on a moto track

the 150 ktm on the other hand, now that can be a real winner... but now we talking thousands of dollars, msrp is like 10k on those things

 

If he wants a new bike he is going to be spending quite a bit.

Yeah i like projects. Ill be done after i get this one built i think...

No he doesnt. New ktms are pricey.

 

He has no idea what he’s talking about, he was originally between a crf250f and a YZ250. Talk about complete opposite’s! I’m really thinking a KTM 150 could be the winner. I found him a leftover 2024 for $7500

 

I'd be surprised if dealers weren't willing to wheel and deal on KTM inventory considering their current situation and how much inventory is sitting on dealer floors.

 

ah gotcha tbh if he wants a bike with long maintenance intervals and is chill but can be a lot of fun the klx300r is a great little bike for the price tbh.

i mean i get why he doesnt want used since it can be a pain to get someones junk but idk his money situation lol

idk bout that one lol

 

one would have to literally smelter an xr200 in order to render it useless junk

seriously, using a torch some explosives and even letting it sit at the bottom of the ocean alone would not junk a honda xr

 

at some point in life, everyone must own an xr80... 100% legend of machine
trail bikes are often misunderstood, everyone loves the race bikes
but seriously, the xr80/100 is king for backyard trail fun

Has anyone got experience with the HF tire changer/balancer(or this style)? I really want to start doing my own tires so that I don't have to pay a shop. After changing 2 tires, I'll basically be free of charge.






I don't think I will use it enough to justify the cost of a Rabaconda or the like.

 

I had an 87(I think). It had a blue seat, orange tank, and white plastics. That bike probably meant the most to me. I always stayed close to the house with the Z50, but this one took me all over my small town(grewup in a farming community and they didn't mind us riding in the fields when they didn't have crops planted).

Any experience? The style is more important than where it comes from. I have no problem saving some monies going Amazon Post edited
