All this about the R6 sounds horrible. I'm not so picky, i'll take it off your hands for $500

 

don't get me wrong, all those complaints are also the reasons I love it on the track

 

I never enjoyed going that fast tbh. Its fun on a track but always seemed boring to me otherwise. Granted a slow bike that doesnt have enough guts isnt really any more fun. But a happy medium is nice, i think im just a supermoto guy.

They make enough power still. But using 1/8 of the throttle at anytime isnt very fun either.

Very hot. Ergos not that comfortable that much either. Younger me didnt mind so much

 

occasionally I'll take it into work, and will have to lane split getting home. I swear by the time I park it my left ankle is flirting with burn damage

 

Anyone wanting a Denali soundbomb mini? I'll send to anyone in this thread for cost of shipping. I bought it for my Africa Twin, but the forks hit the horn and the horn hits the radiator before the fork stops on the turn lock.

Would just return it but I tweaked the mounting bracket to try and get it to fit before I realized it was a no-go.

 

I can imagine. I always hated sitting at stop lights/traffic in the summer.

 

Ha. Its not even mine! Its the wifes.

 

Heat is that bad from the side mount exhaust? I hated how hot my back got from the underseat exhaust on my CBR600rr and I always smelled like exhaust.

 

Just wait til you get to experience the heat of rear cylinders lol

 

I wonder if it would work on my Triumph. The horn on it sounds incredibly weak and sad. lol

 

Wife and I’s third wedding anniversary is in a few weeks, which I guess traditionally is the “leather” anniversary. (Mind out of the gutter boys.) We were both struggling for gifts and I sent her a link to a simple key wrap, and picked out my own present. At least traditional token present, she’s still trying to think of something else. Pretty tickled. I try to keep my keys minimal and rotate between car and the bikes, so those are always on separate key tags. This just holds my house, mailbox, p.o. box, and office door keys. It’s just a leather wrap, monogrammed on the other side, that keeps your keys from jingling around or scratching up your tank or ignition. I’m pretty tickled for something so simple.

 

just got back from a weekend trip with the gf from eureka springs arkansas. we both got our dual sports plated (yes i got the klx300r plated its not the best but its fun!) we had a complete blast and for her being new to street we did about 70ish miles in this small town just riding around the roads and exploring and doing touristy stuff! i swear we walked up that damn hill like 7 times! my legs huuurt! but all in all it was a great trip! i got pics on my phone but by the time i got home yesterday i was so tired i passed out after unloading the bikes. will post pics later today

 

I'm in. Do you take PayPal? Will PM you my address. FJR horns are horribly weak and if it doesn't fit one of those I can always upgrade the vintage Honda. LOL

 

Just picked up this beauty!

 

A few pics from our trip.
