Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Haha that thing I don't wanna go over and mess another truck up lol.

I'd imagine yours is a bit over lol

 

Those numbers are just suggestions It use to kill me that the 2 door Wrangler had a 3500lb towing in the US, but had a 5K in Europe. If it sags.....add springs or bags...................ladies do it all the time

 

I'd be more worried about damaging the frame lol

 

Look what I just installed. All that is left is electric, hope to do that tomorrow. Wifes car has a suspected cracked head, and need to drop the engine and transaxle out of the bottom, so bought a used lift. Cheaper than paying a shop, plus I get a lift. Have wanted one for years, even made thicker pads in the floor when it was poured. Also, my bike is in the pic, since this is a moto thread.

 

The other bikes just because

 

Hells ya man! How much did that run ya?

 

$1900. It is five years old, but has only been used in a home shop, no commercial use.

 

My Harley has 21500 miles and I wouldn’t hesitate riding it from coast to coast. There are multiple guys on the Harley forum with EVO engines with 60k+ miles and still going strong.

 

That's not to bad. Nice man!

 

Time for an f450 like @YF_Ryan

 

You gonna help me buy it lol

 

Just got back from a 50 mile ride on the Klx. That bike is no longer for sale. Even if I sell the Harley and get something else… it stays. It would only be replaced with a better supermoto. I just love the riding position and the weight is so easy to throw around.

 

So many great MC's available. Most have their own unique quirks. I'm by no means a Harley fanboy, but if you can't keep one running, it's you: NOT the bike. Basic tractor engine tech plus some newfangled BS thrown in along the way. Too many people try to improve something they haven't a clue about how it works in the first place.

I guarantee you 9/10 of all the problems you hear about with them are self induced.

 

Already making plans for it. Heading to Banff late next year with family, and want to tow the motos up to enjoy the National Park some.

And if I have it by the beginning of April, my buddy is heading to Moab. Can either haul the Tacoma down, or bring the SxS and Motorcycles. I'm leaning towards the latter. Be awesome to ride through Arches Nat'l Park on the motorcycles. *Fingers crossed*

 

you gonna take your camper and put it on the 450?

 

It's going to look hilarious, and be a complete PITA to load, but yes. Will have around 30 inches behind the camper to the tailgate, but will prolly make a nice deck with the tailgate down. The big issue will be loading. The legs aren't anywhere near wide enough to get around the dually fenders. Buddy and I will figure something out. Once it's on there, it'll stay there with no plan to remove.

 

i was about to say sounds like you will have a nice deck! get some fake grass down and boom a nice spot to chill haha.

oh ya i forgot you got the dually hmm just throw it on there!

 

Don't have it yet, but will! Been waiting impatiently for the 2026 Build and Price tool to become available on the website so I can more easily do my build. Either way, beginning of Oct, we'll have an order in.

I'm getting to the point I don't trust the Taco anymore, so once we get the big truck we'll be able to start planning more moto trips. It's what the wife always wanted to do. Haul them to wherever we camp and go from there, versus actually traveling long distances ON the motorcycles.

 

oh man! i didnt know you guys were waiting for the 26 models i thought you had ordered a 25! hopefully it doesnt take to long but as i know from my ranger and the when the gf ordered a mavrick (decided to pass on it didnt get enough money sadly..) it took roughly 4-5 months

oh? you got some issues or just higher miles i take it? do you plan to keep the taco for daily driving or something? or just get rid of it?
