Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

If I'm not mistaken, they already make the motors for the 790/890.............and rumor is that the Ibex 450 was once a KTM project.

 

This is what we call a

 

Going to buy another razor tomorrow morning. Have to drive 2.5 hrs one way but for $75 i can still make a couple hundred

 

I have a 78 Honda Hobbit moped that i inherited. Works really well with the hills here cruising around the neighborhood and some nearby back roads because you can pedal to assist it, so it basically can't stall. Not sure if scooters can stall but i still find this a neat feature that's worth a lot even now that i have a proper full size bike. Decent amount of parts and upgrades for old mopeds too. Well worth adding one to the options list if you're intentionally going very small

 

The problem with groms is that 95% of them are modded like crazy and it may be one of the rare few vehicles that mods actually do add value to

 

Seee mobile storage haha

 

You are becoming the razor guy haha

 

Some pretty basic pics but got her home and tucked away safe. @Wyckedan you and everyone else weren’t kidding about the heat lol. Both ankles, inner thighs, and hamstrings roasting away anytime traffic was slow enough to need to lane split.

Initial thoughts, wow what a bike. Significantly more polished and refined than the BMW, though I’m not sure if that’s because of the V4 power plant or the age difference between the bikes. BMW definitely felt a little more raw, Ducati has a whole suite of electronics on it comparatively. Digital speedo is gonna take some getting used to but I’d say I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase. Honestly, a pretty comfortable hour and a half ride home, better than I expected.

 

Pulled this out of my car tire, picked it up on the highway and basically had an instant flat. Blew cords out on the inside of the tire and was un fixable. Exterior was about 1/4” hole. Ugh.

Luckily my sister was about 15 minutes away and was able to pick us up, took the tire to les schwab and got the one tire replaced to get my car off the side of the road, going back tomorrow to replace the other 3. Yay AWD cars..



Also, that’s my daughters foot not mine lol

 

Hell yeah! Congrats!

 

Lol. Just keeping an eye out for some easy cash making

Purty.

That sucks. Definitely the downside of awd..discount tire is nice if you buy their "certificates" but im not sure how that necessarily applies in awd scenarios either.

 

Very nice man congrats!

Haha fair fair just don't build this one lol

 

Hell yeah, welcome to the club!

 

Can’t like that! Glad you and your family are ok. That could have been bad.
