Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

glad you said it so I didn’t have to lol

 

I usually buy the video pass to watch it. Probably the only motorcycle race we're gonna see this year where a Ducati doesn't win.

 

Trust me when I tell you that was a tough decision but I still think the right decision at that point in my life. I had pretty much tapped out my life savings to get the house and knew going in I would be needing to replace my truck I owned at that time within the next 2 years.

Doesn't mean I don't look back and imagine if I had made the decision the other way......

 

I'm a things happen for a reason kinda guy. Who knows how life would be different if you had gone? Long as you're good where you are at now, nothing to regret. Maybe you can make a plan to go on your own terms, now!

 

That’s when you say, sorry G/F I am going by myself

 

Would not have happened. She rode her own bike and honestly could out ride a lot of men I know. That was part of the 6k price. Shop owner was letting us EACH pick a bike to ride for the trip and shipping them back and forth.

 

After all the crap I have put on the Rally(ECU, PAIR/charcoal delete, full exhaust, rear shock etc) the front wheel will easily clutch up in 2nd now. The 301 kit will put this bike where it should have been from Honda. I also still need the front Rally Raid fork cartridges The throttle response is so much better than it was stock.

 

Said every (honest) 60 yr old man, ever.

On my wish list as well.

 

Rode up to Snoqualmie falls. Another beautiful day in the NW.

 

Was thinking of making that ride last weekend, but figured it would be PACKED.

 

Related note: best pancake mix ever from there:

 

Dunlop is on a Duc V2 for supersport so......

but the only race anyone really cares about is the senior and that won't be won on a Duc

 

Anywhere good that you can watch IoM TT free?

 

@gnarthirty2 's Place

 

I only care about the Senior, but I'll always root for a Dunlop.

Probably not live and/or legal, but I'm sure there's something out there. There's usually decent coverage on YouTube after the fact.

 

I have beer and whiskey too!

 

Good coverage for IOMTT over on ADV Rider. Not sure if you must be a member over there or not so someone else will have to let me know if this worked for them.

They also have some dried soup mixes that are pretty fuckin good

 

Haven’t tried that one yet but this is the best I’ve had so far!

 

I don't generally like Honda's but the Africa Twin is the best looking adventure bike.
