All-most.

 

If I had an extra $290(after everything else I want)......I'd grab one of these

 

Seen you post that before.

Now I’m thinking the 1 gal. Rotopax.. While the GL would be nice and roll-up-able for space savings. The can should have no issues.

 

I know the bag is made for gas....but isn't it labeled as liquid for the US? I swear I read that somewhere. I'm sure it's legal jargon

 

Yup. Non approved for fuel in the states. What they don’t know is, what they don’t know.. What the hell is approved in the states?.

 

I'm sure it has something to do with lawsuits. We're a sue happy country and want someone else to take responsibility most times

 

True true. The weird thing is.. the Military uses fuel bladders (similar but much larger) all the damn time. Makey no sensee.

 

Yep, Nelson rigg soft luggage. Seems to be very well made. Dropped the bike a handful of times and it’s never ripped. Completely water tight. Only con is it’s made in

 

They also don't kill their diesels with all the DEF/emissions bullshit

 

Not to go off on a tangent… what the hell isn’t made there.

Thanks for the info. Made in China doesn’t skerr me. Just wish it ALL wasn’t.

 

Yup. Jet fuel for all !

 

What I find strange is diesels are looked at as cheaper engines in Europe....but a premium here

 

That’s because ROW (rest of the world) diesel is the primary source of fuel. Here, it’s an alternative at a premium price. Even a crap diesel from a tank will still run. Run like poop, but run. Gas.. if not right, you are up a creek.

A boring read but kinda interesting.

Booooo not fair lol

Ill check my pics on my phone I know I have a pic of a 24 model

 

Hot damn! The Eibach rear spring should be here friday.

 

Kinda. Its definitely a rotating hoard of w/e the race rules are but me being me stretches them every time haha. Its an absolute hoot.

Speaking of the RM85. Went through cleaned and greased all of the rear suspension pivots / linkage bearings. Only ones that were a lil crusty were the swingarm but everything else was decent. Once cleaned and greased everything was SMOOOTH.

Got to bleeding the black sludge out of both front and rear brakes so I should be good come new brake pads when those show up.

I have ~ 300$ in parts showing up soon to get the stupid lil thing all prim n proper to destroy them! haha

 

$9600 for the new DRZ400. Yikes.

 

Hey Washingtonians, any idea how to Renew my moto learner's endorsement? I thought I'd be able to do it online, but it says I can't since my license is good for more than one year. I tried calling, but got the whole busier than usual, call back later thing. It was a holiday yesterday, so I figure i'll try again in the coming days, but also thought I could ping you guys.

Do you know if I must go into a physical office to renew it? I know it is only rewable once for an additional 180 days, and must be before the original runs out.

 

If license eXpress isn't letting you do it online then yeah, I'm guessing you have to go in. I know they just finished updating their systems, and were closed literally ALL last week, so I'd expect a big back log of people for the rest of this week, at least.
