Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

One for the road and one for the dirt is always fun

Well, more like one heavier for the highway winds and one lighter for the back trails. Anything will generically do “road” riding.

 

Nice bike !! Evo’s last forever, had 156k on my 90 when I sold it, cases were never touched either, base gaskets, that’s another story, dealer did them 3 times, I finally did it the last time, no leaks.

 

Yup, except I only do roads to get to dirt.

So I basically just want a dirt bike and a dual sport

 

Sounds like perfection to me. I could live with nothing but dual sports for sure.
Except these days I do 100-300 mile weekend trips home to see my family and it’s a lot nicer on a road bike than a thumper kite haha

 

I couldnt go without a dirtbike now.


everyone. Been staying off here a while. Enjoying the bike when i can get away from home/baby

 

Agree. Going back to dirt was the beat thing I did.

 

Thinking it might be too loud haha





EDIT:


This muffler was advertised as 2” tubing going to a 2.5” collector and then a 3.5” muffler body…

I measured the collector end that ready for the 2-1 tube and a clamp and it’s definitely not 2.5” but exactly 3” wide…

This puts a bit of a kink in my exhaust plans. Do you think it would be too much of a transition for a collector to go from 1.75” pipe through a 2-1 into a 3” pipe? I thought I could bring the two into a 2.5” collector but man, 3” is drastic.

 

Most bikes I ever owned at once was 5.

Now I have 2 (Harley and a track bike).

Much happier with one on-road bike.

 

@fatfurious2 When are you trading in the Africa Twin for the new scrambler motard? (their name, not my opinion of it, I don't think it's a motard or close to sumo..)

Remember back in the day when @fatfurious2 got his and called it a supermoto

 

Still no dry clutch. I’m safe.

 

Team Red. No more Ducati.

not sure if @uurx told you guys, but on my honeymoon, got into an accident and totaled my wife's car. We just got back now. Saw some bikes on the trip. The weather was great this week. But that's about all that was great

 

Dang, everybody okay?

 

Yes. My left hand is in a splint because my thumb is swollen, and wife has some bruises from the airbags, but thats it

 

I told you marriage was a bad idea.

 

Shit man. Sorry to hear. Glad you guys walked away mostly unharmed.

 

Man, I've been checking for an update. Saw that on IG. Hoped y'all were ok.

 

saw your insta post about people reaching out and wondered what happened. you guys doing alright?

EDIT: sounds like you guys are doing about as well as can be expected for totaling a car. very glad it wasn't worse

 

We got home safely, in a rental. Now the task of returning it to Massachusetts, because Enterprise doesn't do 1 way rentals.

 

TW express that shit
