Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Bikes from my past, Kawasaki 50, Honda 450k4, Triumph 500 single (I could kick myself for ever selling), Honda Ruckus 50cc. My wife once told me that I looked like a circus bear on the Ruckus. Aspiring for a new 3 wheeler.

yeah, If I hadn't already bought two bikes in 22, I'd do this. SPOTLESS, and a great way to have a 'modern' sport bike at a pretty low cost. We have a great Triumph shop here in town, too. Somebodies gonna get lucky.

 

I should know better than to visit Bringatrailer.com

I had one of these, a 1987 actually. One of the worst bikes I think I ever owned but so damn cool looking and unique.

 

When do you have it shipped to you?

 

I don't. I will be watching it though to see what it goes for. I only owned mine for about 6 months as the dealer had it almost as much as I did. Damned shame too because it really was a good looking bike.

 

Better off buying a Grom! You have the long distance tourer now you need the backroads mini tourer.

 

My mini-tourer. 400cc spread out over 4 cylinders.

 

I forgot you had that!

 

Theres a set of $30 aux pods I'm tempted to get and put on the F800.. for shits and giggles and ADV points, mostly

Do it. I used to run a lot of different Amazon lights and the only issue I had was some of the lens mounting hardware would occasionally be loose leading to condensation. Just snug it all down and you should be GTG.

 

Well, twist my arm, ordered them lol

I've heard the same about a lot of them, pull the front off and silicone it before install and they're usually fine.

 

You get some for the Navi as well?

 

id like amber fogs on the klx but there is like no mounts for a drz that are low near the radiator area... those types of mounts seem to only show up for the crf

 

We'll see which bike they end up on haha I still haven't figured out how much the stator on the navi can actually put out.

I am looking at these little saddlebags for the Navi, though:

Those look like they would be bigger than the Navi

 

Yeahhh, not wrong. Plus, let's be real, when am I ever carrying more than a sixer and a bag of groceries on the Navi? That'll all fit in the storage box anyways.

 

BD LP9 fogs

 

No, $15/ea Amazon pods I don't need the BD logo on it

 

I had those bags. They were ok, but the zip top under the flap made loading them harder than it looks, and mounting was (on my bike at least) a bit of a pain.
